Re: Forget I bothered
Act, I said you have a bee in your bonnet and you most certainly do. This whole thread is about nothing else but the buzzing of that angry bee. Heck, even the chosen username is an attempt to shame us into behaving the way you want us to behave.
You're not my mother. I haven't even met you yet, and you already have me swearing that if I do eat at a restaurant, it won't be yours. Not if I know it's one you work at, at any rate.
Now, how about taking that user name to heart. You want business, good tips? Don't start by angering people who haven't met you yet so they swear never to set foot in your restaurant. People who are mad at you are not likely to give you any business-- they'll go elsewhere. They always do.
Note: The few times I have eaten at a proper restaurant, I've left a decent tip. I'm not overly rich, but I have worked at a restaurant before-- I was a busboy many long years ago-- and I do appreciate good service. I do NOT appreciate being read "The Riot Act" before I even set foot in your establishment. If nobody comes in, you'll know it's me.
