Now, i know quite a few of you will be going to restaurants and things will be fine til around 4 or 5 but thing is, most servers are working straight through...12 hours straight. I'm getting there at 10, and dont plan on leaving til after 10. this is without a break mind you. So if you stroll into a restaurant around 5 or 6 and the server seems flustered, there's a good chance that he/she has already been on their feet nonstop for 8+ hours.


otherwise. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY(which means nothing since there are no moms on the boards)!!!!
I always tip very well if the service is good (always 20% if good service), but because a server is frustrated or tired does not give them an excuse to be a bad server. Especially as seeing how that is ya know their job.

As others have said. If your service sucks, so does your tip.

And dont sell your restauraunt short, Outback sucks. It has to be better than that.
