10 phrases from waiters that make customers not only want to leave a tip, but not even pay the bill

It’s always good to go to a restaurant, enjoy tasty food and great service. Unfortunately, sometimes even gourmet dishes can’t improve the impressions left by the lack of education of the establishment’s employees.

we, from awesome.club, we get very upset when we come across rudeness, bad manners or a negligent attitude. Some restaurant staff, with just one sentence, nullifies any possibility of a customer return. And in the Bonus, we’ll show you how some waiters manage to offend without saying a single word.

It’s a phrase that leaves many people confused. Is there not a table available for one person in a restaurant? Is it forbidden to enter unaccompanied? It’s particularly annoying when you can see the place is completely empty. We agreed to be much more polite to say, “Is someone waiting for you or can I escort you to a free table?”

Sometimes it’s difficult to choose a dish, so the customer turns to the waiter who certainly knows the menu best and can advise on the most delicious options. It is better to have a prepared sentence than to reply that everything is delicious, making a scowl.

It is the duty of the waiter to know the dishes and their main ingredients. If memory fails, it’s better to check with the boss than to be rude to customers. Also, it is likely that someone needs this information because they are allergic or intolerant to certain foods.

A client may feel uncomfortable when another person’s opinion is forced upon him. It looks like the waiter is trying to raise the price of the dish. Perhaps the customer likes to hear a suggestion, but it would be better to express it in a softer way.

There’s nothing worse than having a plate of food taken away from you when you’re still eating. Maybe waiters do it to get a customer to leave quickly or order something else, however it would be better if they didn’t.

If the service is not included in the account, the customer decides whether or not to leave the corresponding money. It is very unpleasant when, after eating a delicious meal, the customer waits for his change and receives from the waiter an ugly face or a blunt sentence, such as: “In our restaurant, people leave tips”.

Sometimes we can barely get in and sit down and there’s already a waiter asking us what we want. Customers go to a restaurant to eat well and relax. Almost no one likes to be rushed and forced to decide quickly. Especially if the person didn’t even have time to check the menu.

It is quite common to break dishes or soil tablecloths in a restaurant, as people may accidentally spill food or drink. It’s strange that a waiter would react abruptly to this little mishap as if it were a personal insult.

And if the cost of broken dishes is to be reimbursed by the customer, then cleaning the tables is certainly not your duty, but the job of the establishment’s staff.

Of course, restaurants have their rules and usually each employee serves the tables assigned to him. But it’s unpleasant when your waiter isn’t around and someone else pretends you don’t exist. Who can best help a client in these situations?

Customers can express their wishes and ask to take away or add ingredients. In good restaurants, waiters don’t comment on customers’ orders, especially if they aren’t questioned. Judging and trying to manipulate the choice pits the customer against the waiter. And it doesn’t matter if you just ordered a coffee or if your table is full of different dishes, everyone should be treated well.

During peak hours, kitchen and service delays are normal. But sometimes it’s irritating to see a waiter serve other tables, talk to his colleagues and do whatever he wants except bring the check you ordered half an hour ago.
