It seems a lot of people say "oh they get paid already" "its their job already" or the classic "its not my fault they took that job"
These are all just excuses to be a cheap asshole. Its not the server/delivery guy's fault the owners are squeezing the bottom line. Its been long since set up in our society that servers are tipped employees and therefore get paid very little from the restaurant. It doesn't matter what some pink asshole in a movie says, movie characters say pre written lines that sound cool.
The truth is, when you stiff a waiter/deliverer, that person loses money, regardless of how you twist the situation around in your head.
Now put yourself in their shoes. We have established that a tipped employees earnings come from the customer, not the restaurant, (regardless of how you twist it, thats the way it is. In reality) Now imagine you just came in to work, and did your job. and some idiot says "you did a good job, but im not going to pay you. sorry, i just dont think you deserve it"
They don't say this, but we know. Now the question, DO YOU REMEMBER THIS PERSON? IF YOU SEE THEY ORDER AGAIN, WHAT DO YOU DO?
I don't spit in customers food, thats traceable and noticeable.
What i have done to people before:
keyed cars
ripped down decorations
spit on cars
bring really cold food (my manager will tell them that he doesnt believe that its cold. we will laugh about it later)
rub my hands on my balls then on your food.
same with my ass crack.
pee on the food
eggs on house and cars
and im sure other stuff i can't recall at the moment.
Another question for you non-tippers? HOW MANY OF YOU ARE UNDER 20 YEARS OLD? HOW MANY OF YOU ARE BLACK OR ASIAN? Just curious.
I also want to point out, i wont do any of that stuff for people who leave small tips. just the ones who repeatedly leave nothing.
