I really want to give this restaurant some free consulting. They have no expensive menu items to bring the average bill up, and they don't serve any desserts, and they do unlimited chips and salsa if you buy it for $4. I go in there and as a non-drinker it's almost impossible for me to spend more than $15. My wife says they don't care about me because they're more interested in selling booze, but I still think they're leaving a lot of money on the table by having a poorly planned food menu.
that's why I said I'd hate to be a server at BWW on a Sunday because it's just awkward...everyone is there to watch football and after they are done eating if they aren't drinking it's just...awkward. You have no idea if they need service, if they need a check, if they want another drink...

but it seems like you have all the principles down pat...regardless of how much you hate them!

I agree with you though...I used to laugh myself all the way to the bank as a server. It is a very, very flawed system.

I agree tip jars are lame but man, I wouldn't want to work at a Baskin Robins.
One of my good friends worked at a baskin robins throughout high school. That was good enough for her. She didn't want to do anything more than that. She still lives with her parents working at baskin robins 12 years later. Some people are just set in their ways regardless of their pay. Sucks because she could be a great server since she has to interact with kids all the time and when a sever gets the kids happy and quiet the tip really reflects the job well done and she doesn't know what she really can make in money at a real job.

I'm not making fun of those people...I just would never do a job for $9 an hour. Those that do, I don't mind throwing a $1 their way for serving me some badass ice cream. Whatever.

I doubt I spend hundreds per month on beer. Consistently anyway. I don't drink beer every day, and I rarely have more than one beer when I do drink. And I tend to tip 20% and no more. And I came up in a single-parent home with that parent being a teacher in a rural school district. No silver there.

not saying you were. just saying don't feel sorry for them and tip them $1. some just are comfortable where they're at. regardless of tips or getting paid minimum wage. Like her.

It just doesn't add up. Plus the shoe collection. Tell us, Reaper! Drug dealer? FWIW I'm pretty much a silver spooner.

Yeah but he also spends all that time in academia. Im just curious

Maybe if he didn't throw so much money at somebody who doesn't exist, he'd be able to afford tipping somebody who does.

What does giving a tip have to do with giving a tip?


Stupid ****s

Like you're dream man Thigpen? He doesn't exist the way you think he does. That must have been what you were REEFERING too.

It's interesting to me to think about career progressions. When I was 15, it was a big deal to work at Dairy Queen. While we may think of Baskin Robbins as a low-level job, it's quite the experience to the 16 year-old kid for whom it's their first job, so they take it very seriously. I think the system works well in that regard, and it's a good reason to be respectful of the kid behind the counter.

I'll admit that I feel bad, though, when I see a 40 or 50 year-old behind the counter. I figure they either had a bad career setback or they don't live a very prosperous life. It sure does mean that they have a work ethic, though.

Reaper bugs me because he thinks he's better than everyone at everything while also knowing more about everything than everyone.

It doesn't surprise me that he thinks waiters at 5 star restaurants do so much more than waiters at "Applebee's" because they tell you their special, wear a tuxedo, and pour your wine while saying "sir" and "madam"...

Reaper has so much class!!!!!!!!! He even knows how to watch movies better than us!
