That they could get the same level of table service if waitresses were paid a flat wage.
That waitresses rely on tips to make up for a deficient wage instead of the other way around.
That less ice will mean more drink in the glass.
That the 185°F water from the coffee machine will clean the silverware better than the much hotter sterilizing rinse of the industrial dishwasher.
That they should wait to complain to a manager instead of telling me right away if something is off so I can fix it.
That less ice will mean more drink in the glass.
If the drink is filled to the same level on the glass, then less ice must mean more drink, right?
Unless you fill the drink first, and then add ice, in which case the drinks with ice would have higher water levels then those without ice.
For water and pop, sure.
For cocktails, not so much.
I ask for no ice because pop is pretty cold when it comes out anyways and I hate watered down pop. Also if I take it home I can put it in the fridge .... and it doesnt get watered down.
Sure. But you're be surprised how often someone asks for, say, a sangria without ice and then asks why the glass is only half full.
Fair enough! So they are trying to get out of paying for a double! I understand now. Tell them the glass is actually half empty!!! lol
Some folks have noticed the service you get in the States is shit, unless the wait staff identify you as someone who will give a good tip. If you're from an ethnic group notorious for bad tipping, you're never going to get good service, and so you're never going to tip well... Continuing the cycle. 🤷🏻♀️
It's not that it'll clean better, but an additional rinse can't hurt - especially if a utensil might have been crowded or rushed through the wash. Or maybe the waitstaffs hands are a bit suspect.
