SlaveRMneeded -> RE: Have you ever complained about service in a store, restaurant, etc? (2/3/2011 10:56:45 AM)

People like your friend are an absolute nightmare to mere humans, and,where I come from, in most restaurants, that would get someone banned.
I will certainly complain if there is something worthy of complaint.IE: I ordered well done steak, and, I got a burnt one, a rare one, or a plate of nachos, instead; if the table is filthy, etc. Otherwise, for less than adequate service (and, I do take into consideration if the person is disabled, overworked, being harassed by some imperious bastard who thinks they are God's gift to restaurants, etc.), I simply leave less of a tip. Since the government does tax them as if they got a certain percentage of the price of the meal as a tip, they learn to act better or continue to punish themselves.
Not surprisingly, since I treat wait staff like human beings who deserve respect, ask rather than demand for things, excuse small, human errors that really don't affect my meal, praise the good, and tip generously when served well, I almost always receive excellent service with a personal touch, often have the wait staff and courtesy clerks serving me in some fashion when I run into them at some other place, and, seldom have meals with friends interrupted to speak with management - unless management has come by to say a personal hello to one of their favorite clientele.
