Bad service at Chinese restaurant?!


Question: Bad service at Chinese restaurant!?
How much would you tip if you had to ask three different waiters to bring you ice water because the first two did not bother!? Granted, the place was busy, but that's no excuse for bad service!. The lunch bill came out to $25!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
When I lived in the States, bad service deserved leaving a tip of 1 cent just to show that we didn't forget!.
Now in a far-off third world country, I leave an equivalent of 40 cents as a tip (where a daily salary is around $3-4)!. The only time I didn't leave anything was after waiting 45 minutes, and when the dinner arrived it was ashes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When a place is crazy busy, and this type of thing happens to me, I usually get up and go over to whoever is in charge and very nicely ask for what it is I have been trying to get!. This gets you what you want, lets the waiter know that he is in for a minimum tip, and sometimes even gets a comp!. glass of wine or desserts sent to my table!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i wouldn't give them anything! Typically at any restaurant their supposed to bring you your water right when you get there no matter how busy it is, if i had to ask them to bring me my water i wouldn't even bother to stay there lolWww@FoodAQ@Com

why leave a tip !?
you can go home and write a letter
don't forget your receipt it may have your table and servers information
always be ready to put the bill on a card> > > you do not have to leave the tip on the table!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

For me it depends on the place, if it is an older run down place, I would tip less, maybe 10%, if it is a nicer place I would tip 15%!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I always leave a tip of some sort even if the service is bad!. I tip according to the service and not how expensive the bill is!. If its just down right bad service I leave a dollar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would leave some thing just to let them know you did not forget!. I think a nickle should do it!. It gets the message across that their service wasn't worth the nickle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you tip based on service, not percentages!.!.!.

that is the ONLY way I do it!.!.!.


so the answer is zero!.

they didn't deserve itWww@FoodAQ@Com

Tip nothing, or if you really want to make a point (as I did once when the service was really bad) just leave a penny!Www@FoodAQ@Com
