full circle of service

Im am big on consideration...HUGE!!!

You get out of life what you put in...the same is true in the service industry...and not just food...if you are a good tipper...you get service worthy & appreciative of your tip...if you don't tip...you get service of someone that is sick of people like you...and sometimes they show it

My fiancee and I were in a tattoo parlor one day getting tattooed...when the phone rang...someone on the other end of the line asked if they turned 18 at midnight...could they get a tattoo then??? The answer was yes...

The chick hung the phone up and the guy in the chair next to us said...awww cool...a tattoo right when it is legal...I quickly followed up with a...that is soooo not cool...you don't plan on starting to work right at close...

YOU PLAN ON CLOSING!!!

The artist turned and said that my response was one of someone who had dealt with those a-holes before...the art was reflected by the tip

The same rules apply with the opposite, with opening...I don't even give the full spill about how amazing our togo food is in the morning before 9...who calls that early...

Well this day...Marissa did...

I answered the phone...Jacklyn speaking can I help you...

An energetic voice countered with...yes I need to order some party platters...

Really...this early...we don't serve breakfast...I didn't really say that...I enjoy paying bills on time...

I took her order and she asked to have it ready at 10:30...I said, mam are you aware that we don't open until 11...she said yes...(then why are you asking for it at 10:30)...So I said well then mam we can get it ready for you right at 11...she said ok

She got here at 10:45 and came in...(we open the togo door for employees at 10:45)...she complained the entire time she was waiting in the togo area about how long it was taking...I paid her out and she didn't tip a penny

a $400 order...company card...and she doesn't tip...that puts her pretty low on my "I give a shit list"

We got the order together and as she was coming from putting it in her car she was asking someone to apologize for her for her tardiness...again...she was not up there on my list...

She opened every dressing...every box and complained about EVERYTHING...

I helped her carry it out to the car and she was still bitching...at that point I had turned her off...except to see hear her say that she orders from us all the time and this was ridiculous...

#1...I am at work ALL THE TIME
#2...servers & managers remember two kinds of people
#1-->those who tip very well
#2-->those who don't tip at all
#3...I have never seen this woman before EVER
#4...I hope I don't have to see her EVER again

But I did notice that she had a tattoo on her foot...a bad tattoo...all I could think was that she probably bitched about it the whole time...and didn't tip...it showed in her tat

ps...the tattoo shop had a sign that read

Price is determined by attitude...

I WANT THAT SIGN IN MY RESTAURANT!!! That bia couldn't have afforded our food!!!
