(19,226 posts)The tip will be reduced or non existent. Usually however I tip very generously and am forgiving of small mistakes.
An example of poor service- we ate a few years ago at a national chain popular for its breakfast menu. When my order arrived I salted and peppered the hashbrowns and was about to eat a piece when I noticed egg yolks under the hashbrowns. My meal did not include eggs. Moving items on the plate revealed old food that had not been cleaned off.
The server took the plate back, promising to bring a new meal. Moments later she delivered a plate that had "just been prepared". Strangely the hashbrowns were already salted and peppered. They even cut a small piece off the end. IOW they just transferred the same food from a dirty plate to a clean one an thought I would not notice.
I left after speaking with the manager and the was no tip that day. It is not my duty to make up a pay shortage if the person does not meet the minimum requirements of their job.
Conversely excellent service may see a 50% tip.
