You really don't get it, do you Dave? Servers know their wages depend
on tips. It behooves them to be pleasant. They don't have to become
your new best friend but if the're feeling grouchy they shouldn't take
it out on the customers. No, not even if the customer is being a PITA.
It's in the job description.
Note: The walk-in cooler is a great place to go and let out a scream or
unleash a few curse words when you're feeling particularly irritated.
