[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 736737, member: 21572"] Our world is full of slow learners, SOT. When dear husband and I visit the same restaurant and we see a new wave of servers that have replaced many of the old servers we were familiar with, I see those old servers as people who failed to make it in the industry, servers who didn't get the drift that, if you hustle and treat your patrons as if they're number one, you will be rewarded. I'm about done hum-drumming the intricacies of all this, but there are many aspects that apply to being a good server and enjoying success, and if you are good at what you do, have a strong patron following, and know your job well, I believe you'll do well, and it is those long-time servers that tend to excel at their jobs that patrons all get to know, because they become fixtures in the industry. They don't have time for excuses. When it's crazy busy, they perform, and at the end of the night their purses reflect success. Sure, all servers will win some and lose some, but overall, the servers that we personally know who are successful as far as enjoying good tips, know their job, and do their job. That's the bottom-line. As a side-note to this conversation, we, as of last year, quit patronizing a local, well-known, well-established restaurant, because of poor service, poor food, and a sense that patrons didn't matter. We will not go back again, ever. The servers had attitude (young ones), and the owner was out of touch with his patrons needs and concerns. The perfect recipe (pardon the pun) for failure. [/QUOTE]
