I get tired of cooking at home (yes I am one of the rarely seen males who has to actually cook) and find my self going out to search for food like some early world cave man trying to survive. I try my best to keeps it fresh by visiting some of every where and rarely hit the same place twice. Nevertheless, the only thing in common with most restaurants.......bad customer service! Yeah sucka, I said it and may have to say it again during this blog so don't get your panties up in a bunch!
I sometimes wonder, do I expect too much when dining out because I often find myself on the wrong end of good customer service. I mean in my profession I not only have to give good customer service, but I enjoy it. Come to think of it, that may be the sticking point for a waiter! He/She earns about $2.15 per hour plus tips + no personality = a low or should I say a NO payday! I ain't madd at them but please don't get my order wrong!
Allow me to explain what happened at Mexico City today. I rolled up in there 9 deep and waited to be seated. After standing there about 8 minutes, I asked a server are we suppose to seat our selves or wait there. I meant no disrespect, but everybody keep looking at us in the door was as if wondering how long would we stay before leaving! The waiter snapped at me and said "GIVE ME A MINUTE" and walked through us. As I was ready to take my que and leave another guy leaning on the wall asked how many was in my party. I guess he didn't see all us in the door way or maybe he couldn't count....who knows. I told him 9 deep sucka and he took us back to the seating area. Guess who I passed on the way back to the dungeon area we seated at? Yeah you guessed it- snapp master...the waiter who needed a minute. He was back there sitting down counting his tip money. Guess it don't take long to count 58 cents?
Well let me make this short and sweet. Everything that was ordered was either wrong or over cooked. I hate sending things back but I did once today and was nervous about the return product but it was decent. So far I am not sick-lol! I understand how challenging it can be to work in the food industry, but then again I realize that good customer service will keep your seating area full.
I just want to be able to go out sometimes, and get greeted with a smile and seated in a area not in front of the kitchen, get really good food, at a really great price and leave a really big $2 tip. I know you get what you pay for, but I don't want to have to go to Webber grill to get treated like a King??? I guess I have to accept that this is the way it is. Oh well, I like Captain Crunch anyway! Oh yeah, I forgot 2 say this again......BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!
i AM WARD.....
