I hate dining out with people that are rude to servers

I just tell them, "Do you enjoy people spitting in your food?"
First time we took our toddler of a granddaughter to a restaurant, they had really good biscuits. She destroyed the floor under her high chair with crumbs. I left an inflated tip…not sure if it was the server who cleaned it up though…
Edit: CSB
This is the worst restaurant take I've read all day.
I like to leave good tips. I look at it this way, places have closed due to not having enough help, (General Store in Stone City for one) if it helps keep the server financially interested maybe they will keep waiting tables and the place makes a go of it. Now if the service sucks, that’s another story…
Don’t think I ever had the experience but I witnessed a person work over a hotel secretary about something minor thing just to get the room greatly reduce before checkout.
I F’ing hate “ the customer is always right “ bullshit. Fact is right and wrong often is overshadowed by “power”.
If I have a bad experience, I still tip (maybe 15% instead of 20%) but I never go back. Not going back has a bigger impact vs making an ass out of yourself.

I'd be embarrassed too, if my grandma called me "McLovin" in a restaurant loud enough for everyone to hear it.
This is one of those things I have zero tolerance for. Somebody who is rude to wait staff is a one and done for me. I just won’t go out to eat with them again ever.
Do you ever leave a tip for the person who does do the cleaning if it is not the server?
When checking in I just usually tell them I’m Trad from HBOT and the discounts and red carpet service is automatically applied.
Most decent restaurants, the servers will share/split tips with the other staff (cooks, expo and bus boys). This is usually an automatic percentage based on sales.
I do agree. How do you feel about disrespectful and rude comment here on HR? It's ok because nobody is face to face? Just curious
I go out of my way to be polite, even if there is an error or a mistake. One, it’s just the right thing to do and two, these people are handling the food you’re going to eat. Duh.
We eat at Old Chicago periodically and they have had the same guy who cleans up tables for a lot of years. We just wait for him to appear at a table near ours and tip him then.
If you ever wonder if you’ve tipped enough, you probably haven’t. And if you wonder if you should tip at all, just do it. That’s how I see it.
For me, I try not to be rude, but if someone deserves harsh comments, I will make them. Those recipients are voluntarily here espousing their views, opinions, and troll jobs. I see us as mutual combatants. I do not view restaurant servers as mutual combatants.
My dad is that guy. He spent a lot of his life being a VIP and hasn’t realized that he’s just another old dude now. Even at restaurants he loves and knows the owners he’s routinely an ass and cheap tipper. When out with him we always add to the tip after he gets up.
This thread reminds me that I need to get a bunch of Starbucks cards for the ER nurses after this weekends shenanigans.

I can be a bit of a high maintenance customer. But I'm polite about it. Part of the motivation to eat out is that I'd like to be served and have my food the way I want it. So, I don't hesitate to ask if they bring out a tiny cup of mayo for my club sandwich & if I'm gonna need more...I ask. I want real butter for my pancakes, rather than margarine, want my bacon flaccid, and ask for anything but grape jelly. And I expect to be accommodated, when possible. I don't want my drink to sit empty for 15 minutes, when you're not even busy. Last night, my son & I went out to eat about 6:40, there were only 2 other table occupied, due to the snowstorm. We sat & ordered & I then found out they were intending to close at 7, so I felt bad that the gal was going to be there waiting on us past 7. I also asked if they could change the TV channel from Wheel of Fortune to the Hawkeye game (they tried, but don't get BTN). She might have been aggravated by us coming late & having to work on a night with few tables, but she didn't show it. I gave her a $50 tip on a $33 bill. If you're a crappy server, I'll revert to the standard 20%. I'm pretty fortunate & try & pay things forward whenever I can.
Full disclosure: I’m a good tipper. Probably tip too much most of the time. BUT… if a person is having to stack their own plates then they have likely received mediocre service imo. It’s a pet peeve of mine when servers don’t clear the table. I still tip well, just saying.
This weekends shenanigans like… Piitb Valentine’s Day sex?
Stack your plates?
There better not still be plates on the table when I'm leaving.
Servers would prefere you don't stack them.
Everyone should have to be a para at a school for a year.....
My wife is a special ed teacher. I think she would whole heartedly concur.
My wife always stacks the plates and wipes the table down with a napkin. I never really thought about it until we ate at a restaurant in Cali a couple years ago and the server asked if we were from the Midwest. Apparently it’s a Midwest thing.
Do you Floridians stack your plates and clean up the table where you dine?
