This post will look identical to miss. Cocktaildoll’s post about tips on ordering drinks. (visit the website- linked)
I reciprocate with the same manner from how i’ve learnt.
The ‘just to let you know’.
1. Servers are meant to serve you drinks.
NOT to be touched physically to make you happy.
that includes (guy-guy, guy-girl, girl-girl, or wadever you are)
Servers won’t sell their body just to make you buy drinks.
2. Servers are suppose to give a top serving service, one should always refill the drinks, apologize, clear the drinks, give you back your change, apologize, open your drinks in the correct manner, apologize, smile, greet, be sincere, assist you, be attentive(super), apologize, serve with a tray, smile, apologize, smile, apologize, smile apologize put coaster
if not, jolly well complain.
I’m so sick of not getting the right service while i pay so much.
3. Servers ARE NOT cash registering machines.
Some of you gave credit cards to the server, and you guys would even mind the server taking it away, or even before she left, you would still probe, “oh is it done?”
Does a server look fucking like a cash registering machine?
Standard Procedures.
there’s something call CASHIER
if you happenly not knowingly know what cashier is, it’s actually a place where people make payment. Payment are processed, machines are dumb and they lag. Many bills heading to one cashier = time = wait for your bill.
No use heading to the server and make a big fuss, saying “hey, where’s my card?” when you know that the server have only leave you for 5 minutes?
AGAIN, servers are not cashier.
AND don’t gawk at the server to see if it’s your bill that is coming to you, the server will come to you eventually.
4. Thanks to the world for inventing credit cards, tips got lesser.
Server did their part for seriving you drinks, giving you the top quality service. Saying thank-you would be the least way to thank your server.
Saying thankyou wun kill you right?
it’s politeness, you don’t have server around you 24/7 a day right?
it’s not part of your normal life, so please do say thank you and stop acting like a spoilt kid, and that we’re like the maids.
*damn those
Don’t just tell a server, “woah, your service is good, we thank you very much, what’s your name?”
cos perhaps you would already forget the name after a few drinks
OR you would most probably start grabbing the server shoulders the next time he or she comes around, and that goes back to point 1.
Saying a short thankyou is enough.
more than that, please give tips.
I mean what’s so hard on you to just give tips if you think that the service is good?
and for your info, giving tips WUN make you look bad!
“some place doesn’t accept tips!”, you might say. But you can always try.
You have the money to drink, why not just tip?
credit cards make you guys look rich, yes indeed.
and looking rich without tipping make you look stingy.
see the equation?
5. Don’t look pissed and irritated if the server kept coming to you and ask you if you need any help.
that’s his/her job, and probably your fault because you may not have gotten any drinks on your coaster.
Talk to the server, ask for the reccomendations, show that you will have the chance of buying.
6.NAME THE BRANDS.
don’t go to a server and ask,
Customer: do you sell whiskey?
Server: yes, we do sell whiskey
Customer: what whiskey do you sell?
Server: ~!@#^&*()!@#&*(@#)#*((#@#^&*()
the anwser you would probably get is a list of few whiskey and coming back to ask you, what brands do you prefer?
If you have not tried whiskey or what ever balh blah blah, tell the server.
Tell them, oh i’ve not tried drinking vokha before, any brands to recommend?
it’s always better than you asking all the brands of vohka selling in the complex and say er…. i think i’ll have absolute.
it’s like wtf.
starting a conversation with the server would be good, as he or she can recommend you drinks and you would get something you like too. Why put on the brave front and try to act like you’ve drank many drinks before and in the end ordered some weird drinks and you started to dislike it? (and you may start saying, oh i don’t like vohka, it’s not nice- the next time) different brands varies, just to let you know.
7. Though you have the rights, but DON’T misuse your rights.
Never tease and laugh at the server
8. we welcome you, but don’t make yourself too comfortable till it’s like your real home.
don’t stand around the service area and order your drinks.
service area is the place server collects their drinks from the bar.
It’s just a small section of the bar, but people always love to choose that small section to order their drink.
Here’s what’s going on :
in the service area, the bartenders are busy serving the servers drinks. Servers are to collect their drinks from that area and serve to a customers. Having to take the drinks and you being so close to the service area, you start to move back and fro to get attention while at the same time you knock over all the drinks on the server’s tray. Who’s fault? Your fault. WHo’s paying? the servers gonna pay. Please be kind and sensible. You want to get a drink, try to get a server attention by waving, if not tap on the server who looked FREE and not one with many drinks on one tray. (you may never know if your one touch would scare the server to drop all the drinks).
or just stand at the bar and jolly well wait.
.
9. never order 5 losse drinks and below and ask for free peanuts.
stingy creatures.
