They tried to Get Me on my Birthday😩
So I had went out the night into my birthday…
I went with the salmon Alfredo because who can get that wrong?
Well… They got it wrong. There was no seasoning and It was dry. I didn’t really finish my food. I didn’t wanna drink so I just got a regular fruit punch. it was horrible…
It tasted like a bad Kool-Aid jammer. Lol.
But the kicker was the tip situation🥴
On the menu that there was an automatic gratuity, no matter the size of the party.
I am alone and the service was bad. I sat for a good while before even getting menus and no one came to check on me… And the place wasn’t crowded it was a Sunday night in the outskirts of Georgia.
When I was ready to go, the waitress comes over and she brings that handheld POS system.
She read my order to me rather than giving me a receipt and didn’t show me the screen that had all of my items.
It would’ve shown that there was a gratuity added… And you can tell they hope that you will ignore the menu or don’t read.
Then she just hands me the POS directly at the tip screen.
At other places, they have a sign or anything else letting you know upfront that there is an automatic gratuity. Sometimes the waitress even confirms, if they’re honorable.
So I clicked “skip” and she was visibly annoyed.
Honestly, tipping gets on my nerves, but I hate the automatic gratuity. It feels like you can just add the price to whatever the price of the food is… But also I take it as this is the price that you want me to pay and I’ll just pay that. I never add money on top of an automatic gratuity.
Also, my tip would’ve been better than this of course it’s only $4. But I just hate that she tried to sneak around getting more money instead of being open about the policy.
And I hated more that she got a tip and literally didn’t give even close to good service.
I’d never go back.
