You're loss. I never, ever, ever dress simply to go eat. I do, however, tip heavily for good service. treat me well and I will reward it.

You may not "need" my tip, buy you cannot afford a lot of bad reviews and the lost business that comes from it. People pay attention to those sort of things and oftentimes rely on them to make a decision on where to eat.

I'll give you an example. About 7 years ago I was given the wrong bill at a local restaurant and when I asked for the correct one I was told it would never have happened "If you didn't order stupid shit". I called the manager over to explain what was said, why I will not be paying, and the fact that I will be letting every person I know or do business with to never patronize their restaurant. I own a small business. To this day I make sure to tell every client I have to never go there. Their poor service has cost them thousands of dollars in business.

how does ordering stupid shit make it more likely to mess up your bill?

They were known for a large beer selection. I was picking things I had never tried. I had about 4 ro 5 beers, got a check for 8 and a dinner I never had.

>how does ordering stupid shit make it more likely to mess up your bill?
Dunno. ask the retarded staff.

> seems autistic to make a point to bring that up to literally everyone unless you happen to always be discussing restaurants and their credibility.
Usually in that context. When I have clients come into town we always make a point of telling them to avoid this particular place like The Plague. Other times when the subject of food, restaurants, where to eat, etc. we always bring it up.

I don't get why you are so vindictive. You had to deal with a rude server seven years ago. Dude probably doesn't even work there anymore. You're hurting an innocent business owner because one of his peons fucked up.

I don't think it's wrong to relay your experience when asked for restaurant suggestions, but I think you're acting a bit buttblasted about this ancient slight.

As a server, you dont treat your customers like shit. Ever. Even if they are the rudest cock suckers on the planet. I know its difficult because as a human being you deserve your respect, but you work in the service industry, you just learn to grin and take it.

That is fucking gold. If I was the manager I would have paid that server's tipout. Fucking classic. FYI, being a restaurant patron does not entitle you to pandering.

I remember like 3 years ago there was this deli near my house that had great fucking sandwiches, they made weird shit like horse heart sausage and shit.
anyway the owner used to make a particular sandwich everyday for a woman who would come in everyday with her exact change and buy the same sandwich all the time.
to the owner it become routine.
anyway one day the girl comes in to pick up her sandwich
and the owner walks out and sayshere you go mam, nice to see ya again.
and hands her the sandwich.
For some reason the girls friend just says "Oh my god what a fucking creep you see how he was looking at you and he just fucking hands you your sandwich liek if he knows youu??"
she then started posting on yelp that the owner is a huge fucking pervert and whatnot and it became such a big thing that he lost tons of business.
he ended up moving somewhere

they aren't a secret. nobody from anywhere but 4chan wants to use them. you think some pleb from reddit or tumblr goes to /a/ to get laughed at and spammed for their taste in anime? you think the tumblr community is fond of talking about bikes on /n/? think redditors are just flooding /toy/ with talk of action figures and legos? yeah nah.

Only if I spent my time on sites like tumblr/reddit/etc.

There's a hierarchy of social websites. At the top, there's places like Facebook. Next, there's sites like reddit/tumblr/etc that are mainstream but not necessarily used by turbonormals. Just below that is 4chan / some various forums. Below that is most other discussion boards and forums.

Of course, at the very bottom lie BBSs that you need to telnet into.
