    When you go out to a local eatery, a restaurent, how do you expect to be serviced? Do you except your drink to be refilled multiple times? Do you expect to have no mistaks at all or do you allow room for an mixup or 2 before you revoke your potnetial tips to the server/serveress? Lets here it san antonio. how do you expect to be serviced when u go out to eat?

    As long as the service is prompt and friendly, I'll tip in relation to the bill and how long I'm in the restaurant. If my order is incorrect, I let it go as long as it's fixed. And don't give me the "everything ok" thing too much. Once, maybe twice while I'm eating is fine. I usually tip around 20 to 25%.

    I expect my glass to be refilled w/o me asking. I expect condiments to accompany my order. I expect the server to have a friendly at ude. I allow one mistake.

    Some people like to be asked before the waiter refills their glass. Is the waiter supposed to know what your preferences are? If they refill your glass but ask first, is that a mistake? If a waiter makes a mistake, how much tip do you dock?

    As long as the server is courteous and friendly, I can accept mistakes. In fact, some of the best service we had, the server got the entrees mixed up. It was fixed as quickly as possible, and the service was otherwise so impeccable I barely noticed.

    We gave him a great tip and spoke w/ the manager to let him know how pleased we were.

    The less I see and hear of the waiter, the better.

    I don't need a 12 oz glass of tea or water refilled even once. I can pour my own wine, at my own pace.

    I tip 15% usually. The more obtrusive, busy-body, talkative, earning-my-tips "service" I get, the smaller the tip.

    European restaurants add the tip to the bill, not the customer. So there's no option, or burden, for the customer to reward, or punish, the waiter.

    Haven't really been in San Antonio for a long period of time to give a legit assessment. But I tell you something, some of the better Mexican restaurants in the RGV lack good waiters. The other day I was at what is arguably the second best restaurant south of San Antonio and the service really sucked. I usually give good tips, but I didn't leave one thing for that piece of waiter.

    I don't like wait staff that "hovers". Asian restaurants are bad about that; refill my drink when it gets low but ask me first. Also the too comfy ones get on my nerves---don't crouch next to the table and don't call us "you guys"! They have to be confident too; there are a couple of places I go frequently where it seems every single server I've ever had is on their first day and has the "deer in the headlights" quality. And specifically for the brewpubs, know your beer!

    Just being nice and polite, doing the job and fixing any problems will get a nice tip from me.

    I expect a low spit/pube/dandruff count in all my food and drink. Normally give 20% for good service, 15% for the ones that do just enough and $1 for the ones that phone it in.

    Usually an empty glass means to refill it again in my book.

    If they refill your glass but ask first, is that a mistake?
    No, that's being considerate.

    If a waiter makes a mistake, how much tip do you dock?
    Not much, we tip good.

    this is why i stopped waiting tables. people will give any excuse not to tip, and when youre waiting 5-6 tables at once, it's really one of the toughest jobs out there.

    stop being so ing particular you self-righteous assholes. you think youre all high and mighty whenever youre given a tiny bit of power to dictate how someone will be rewarded or punished - and you go way ing overboard. "oh, i dont want to see you very much, but i want you to be there whenever i need you." you and your stingy ways. typically, if you think the food sucks or your order isnt right, you blame the waiter and dont tip. 99.9% of the time, its the cook's fault.

    then you leave the restaurant all self-satisfied because you treated a hard working person like complete ...and back to your job or abusive spouse who treats you equally like .

    if the waiter isnt standing around and looks like they keep themselves busy, ill tip 20+ percent. thats because i know personally how ty it is going to work knowing that average people are going to ride you in the ground all day because they finally have a little bit of power over someone.

    thats why i quit waiting, so you can never tell me what to do, ever again. would you like smiley sauce with that?

    I love it when people who have never worked in the service industry complain about the service industry.

    Since you worked in the industry, I'd like to know how you treat servers now?

    Yes they are your waitperson, not your personal servant.

    I tip 20% every time for good service on checks of at least $40, and up to 100% on small bills of $5 or so.
    If service is absolute crappy, I still tip 15%, because they might spit in my food the next time they see me.

    I've never worked as a waiter, but I've worked customer service, and I know that waiters don't have an easy job, so I'm always pretty easy going on my waitstaff. Especially since they are in control of my food, and I don't even want to start thinking about all those horror stories.

    My ex's father was the type who would pick some fight with the waitstaff EVERY time, never fail. There was always something that was overdone, or underseasoned, or missing, and it usually devolved into a ing-fit at the table. I just started avoiding going to dinner with them.

    That being said, I have two pet peeves which bother me, but never to point of not tipping (though it may prevent getting a good tip; I pretty much always give at least 15%):

    1) If my cup is empty, offer to fill it. Some people don't drink much when they eat; I do. And I hate eating half my meal with nothing but a cup of ice. I've gotten up and poured my own water before because I got tired of waiting for the waitstaff to come around, but I'm sure they don't want you doing that either.

    2) When I am done with my meal and waiting to leave, don't dawdle. I'll have all the patience in the world when I'm being seated, waiting for my food, and eating. But after I have stuffed my belly, I am ready to go....not wait 15 minutes for a check and another 15 to have my card run. That's the last time I want to sit and watch other people eat. I'd prefer if they had the check ready towards the end of the meal, but I know that's not conducive to buying desserts and what not...which I rarely do anyways.

    Wow you guys are harsh. After seeing Waiting I just don't them to f with my food. If it comes out in a decent amount of time and decently warm, and they come check on my drink at least once or twice it's an automatic 20%
