In all honesty I usually get good service. We mostly eat in Durham or Chapel Hill, lots of good places there.
Specific anecdotal example: A night out last week we got seated and didn't see a waiter/waitress for something like 15 minutes. It wasn't late, and the place was half-full, but it turns out that the hostess had seated us in the section of a waitress who was on her break. Hostesses mistake, no big deal. So the manager is walking around asking people how they are doing, and I jokingly mentioned that we'd be a lot better with beers in front of us. He apologized and took our drink order, and appeared in minutes with beers and an app.
The meal turned out great, everything was good, and I was perfectly satisfied. Then they comped the meal, which was ++. In return I left a tip equal to twenty percent of the original value, and good reviews on appropriate food blogs.
In the scenario described in the original video, the primary problem is an overall lack of communication from all parties involved.
^ I don't have a problem with the idea of "compulsory" gratuities, but it has to be contingent on the quality of the service. Bringing 6 or more people into an establishment should not give the house free reign to give you shitty service. It's only as compulsory as the customers are willing to allow it to be. It's not a service charge, therefore it's not stealing if a customer refuses to pay it.
I believe in tipping, I'm a good tipper. If you can't afford the tip, then you can't afford the meal, that's what I say. But if I get bad service, I certainly let the waiter/restaurant know it, and I will tip according to the response.

I'd have to give his administration a grade of 2. Obama's not taking the economy seriously and his administration's mistakes will become very evident when the dollar and the US economy collapses.
And if those two things don't happen, will you kill yourself? Put your money where your mouth is, so to speak?
>> ^gtjwkq: I like Dobbs' answer. I don't believe in the devil, however, I think Obama's decisions are going to ultimately cause great destruction of wealth and lives.
...and wealth is far more important to the right than lives.

Obama on Palin's Rating of his Presidency
I couldn't care less about Palin's opinion, but she's being too soft on Obama.

I made an attempt at giving the rape-room specialists at K&G Capital the treatment, but I'm thinking it's just not the attention they deserve.
