oh how interesting sir witty-waiter...excellent work there. But in regards to the other servers, you are keeping a mental tally for what purpose? just to know who is doing their job best?

One of the servers got a bad tip the other night and started this big to do over it and the MOD became involved. I often want to tell the server that I think she could try a little harder. I've worked with her for several years and I really have great affection for her but her table-side attitude seems quite lazy and uncaring and she's often complaining about poor tips. She's a really hard worker but her demeanor could use an adjustment but how do you go about putting that to her without hurting her feelings and creating a rift between us.
Long story short (ha ha), because of the situation of how the bill was paid by someone else, it came to the managers attention that the customer thought the service was awful and I was able to tell her to look at what she could have done differently and to think of it as a teaching moment and maybe her demeanor could be adjusted when approaching a customer.
This is why I'm keeping a tally. LoL.
howdy tonight sir witty-waiter! wow ..well did she react ok to your advice then? she should trust you by now I'd think. what is a bad tip? I want to be sure to know how much to tip.
