Try tipping before ordering with your waiter. See how things change to your dance. The waiter will feel more pressured to give you S-tier service. You break their automatic pilot which causes them to switch the f up and feel guilty if they dont serve you quick and correct.

:russ: So when they don't live up to your expectations do you ask for the money back?

I live in Japan half the year. No tipping required unless I’m on base.

Here in Atlanta. I tip at least 10% every time. Good service gets 15%. It sucks but it is what it is. I’ve worked in the industry for two months as a summer job. The waitresses didn’t tip out to the dish washers though.

No, see it as something small at first like $5. To get the motor running and then reward them properly if you see they earned it or keep it at 5$ if they perform bad. Eitherway your getting the most of the experience if you pay even a small amount upfront and know how to look people in the eyes.

"Before you take my order, here's a $50 tip. There's more where that came from" :myman:
