Waiters/Waitresses Behaving Badly.

I caught a segment about the bad behavior in the restaurants on CNN’s Paula Zahn Now yesterday afternoon, a re-run from 12/29/05. That portion uncovered the devilments behind your smiling waiters and waitresses.

If you are not nice to your waiter and you later complaint to him about how your steak is not done right, he might just take it back to the kitchen, drop it on the floor, re-plate it and give it back to you. Yikes!

I always believe in treating people in the way as how I would like to be treated, but I can’t say the same about some of my friends, and I wonder what was severed on their plates. That segment went on with a few more unappetizing "incidents".

To be fair, there are also countless episodes involve the awful customers with their insulting tips. There was a customer leaving $2.00 tip and a coupon for cranberry juice. Geeez, how cheap can you be?? I consider myself an average tipper. I don’t throw money around like if I own a bank, but I never under tip anyone even the service is sub-par. 15~20 % sounds right to me.
