I do not tip delivery drivers when there is already a delivery fee on my order.

that's not nice. the driver doesn't see that fee.

They do at some places, or at least a portion of it.

If a restaurant messes up your order and takes things off your bill, what amount do you tip on? Tip more % because they were nice and hooked you up or less because they messed up?

I over tip all the time, because 99% of the time, the mess up has nothing to do with the server/delivery guy. Also, lol at being such a cheap ass you can't give a delivery guy $2-3 for running your food to your house. Jesus!

How do you mess up an order so bad that you have to give it away for free?

I’d tip the same 15-20 % on the full amount (as if food wasn’t taken off) unless the mess up was something really stupid the server did. But yea, a lot of mistakes are the kitchen’s fault.

I had two situations this weekend. One was the food was just so horrible I actually sent it back (I believe for the first time ever in my life) and just split the other thing we ordered. They ended up comping the thing we did split.... So had no check. Ended up giving 10 cash as it wasn't the wait staffs fault.

2nd they just brought me the wrong meal (no idea who's fault it was) ... For some reason waiter gave me a free drink because of that ... So ended up tipping 20% on what the bill should have been.

Hmm. I've never sent anything back before, I just assume I'm a downgrade with busted tastebuds. Shame yourself thread?

I've sent back steaks a couple of times. I mean, maybe I was out-of-line, but medium rare doesn't mean with a little CPE we could maybe revive it.

this is a frustrating thing about ordering a steak, they always undercook them so they can throw it back on if you send it back. I started ordering medium to get medium rare and it has worked but occasionally I'll get burned and get a legit medium steak.

Like I said it was my first time. It was invigorating. Never the less I didn't think the wait staff should be punished.

i get carry out a lot, even from nice restaurants like capital grille and similar joints. usually it's good to go but one night recently i ordered a med rare filet from the oliver that i brought home and cut into and it was cooked pittsburgh rare. so i got mad and headed back to oliver and they cooked me new one to temp and i went home and ate it, he comped the steak.

carryout sending food back is the worst.

one time at rudy's i got fajitas to go, they forgot to give me the tortillas. i did not drive back there in the rain to get them.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #538 on:** July 31, 2018, 10:49:26 AM »

I have to really trust a restaurant (or not care much about the quality) to do carryout or delivery. The inconvenience factor to fix something is too high which makes their incentive to do it well too low.

So do you think they got the 2 for 20 at Apple Bee's? I'm not sure where else $5 would cover dinner for two.

do you actually believe that happened?

The best service of his life involved the waitress forgetting the bread and spitting in his food

I'm sure it does happen but hopefully not often.

Phil Titola · « **Reply #543 on:** August 02, 2018, 10:47:57 AM »

If that actually did happen and I was the waiter I'd give them the worst service ever. Keep your 5 bucks you filthy animal

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #544 on:** August 02, 2018, 10:48:31 AM »

I heard/know of things like this happening back when I worked in the service industry. What's mumped up, is I saw the owner of Barleys do it on my shift with one of his servers. What a goddamn monster!

You have to be insane and not care if you eat food that has been dropped on the floor and walked on to do that

My uncle had this happen a long time ago, but it was a stack of quarters. He "accidentally" knocked them off the table

I'd accidentally drop their chicken in the can

I would spill crap all over their dollars so they would have to cram slimy soaking dollars back into their stinky pockets
