So if the kitchen staff get tipped out, and the kitchen fucked up, why is it unreasonable that the tip reflects that? It's not like you can tell the server not to tip out the kitchen or the busboys.Originally posted by A790
I agree with your first statement, but the way you said it originally made it sound as if it was the servers obligation to give you things for free. My bad.
In regards to your second comment, if the SERVER messes up then I don't leave a good tip. But, if the kitchen fucks something up and the server does everything they can to fix it, I see no reason to leave a bad tip. I only leave a bad tip when the SERVICE is bad, not when things beyond the servers control go wrong.
