The Verbal Tip

Have you ever been at a restaurant and given a server a nice compliment only to watch them gradually withdraw into a state of depression...

Let me tell you why...

That ladies and gentleman is what we call the "Verbal Tip!!"

It is always nice to be told that you are doing a great job...we love encouragement...but reward that great job...with a GREAT TIP!!!

Too many times people will commend you on a job well done...and then leave you a dollar...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?

No seriously, were you just kidding with me when you said that I did a great job...because the tip is supposed to reflect the service you were given.

Today Southpark Peabody came dancing down the line...but not a happy dance...it was like an Indian fight dance...one that he had to let out so that he didn't go back into his section with tip in hand and offer it back to the ungreatful guest that wasted the last hour of his life...

The ungrateful guest that doesn't understand that servers make $2.13 per hour and he would wind up PAYING to wait on this table.

If you have ever been victim of the verbal tip...here is my verbal apology...IM SORRY!!!!

If you have been guilty of the verbal tip with no follow through on the tip...that is called karma...don't be surprised when the next restaurant experience you have SUCKS!!!

An finally if you have given the verbal tip and followed it up with a monetary reflection of the service given GOOD FOR YOU!!!

Come see my people and reward them!!!
