Cash or Credit?!?

Someone has been MIA for a long while!!!! LOL!!! Hello World and sorry that I have been hiding from you. Can't say I have been too busy at work because business has had its ups and downs, but with the holidays coming up I am not surprised.

It's been a little tough also finding a new topic to discuss on my blog, but thank goodness I have my fellow coworkers to help me with ideas and topics to discuss and enlighten everyone with. 

Today's topic has to do with bill payment. 

When going out to eat we have the option to pay with cash or credit when it comes to paying the bill. When it comes to these two options man do I have some experiences as a server.

1. Paying with cash: Very simple and easy! I do have an instance where people don't realize or don't count correctly, or in some instances don't understand our currency (oh joy!!!) I am not trying to be mean or hurt anyone's feelings but, COME ON!!!!! Before leaving your table take the time that there is enough cash to at least pay the bill and tip your server. Its called respect, we take care of you the least you can do is take care of us. Thanks!!!!

2. Paying with Credit: An extremely easy option of paying your bill. You don't even have to do a thing other than sign a credit card slip and leave it! I want to emphasize the two words, LEAVE IT!!!! You don't understand how many times myself or a coworker of mine as had to go chasing after people because they take the signed receipt and leave an empty one. Not only is it an inconvenience to us and our customers that we are leaving behind, I don't want to get a daily workout in the middle of my shift, thank you!!!! Also, I lose my tip since you didn't leave the copy that you left it on. Another thing, when leaving a tip on a credit card slip and not signing it, also causes us servers to lose our tip, just a little FYI!!! 

It honestly isn't that difficult to write some numbers on a piece of paper, sign it, and leave it on the table.

Another FYI, just because you take the slip or don't sign any of them, you will still be billed for your meal, so don't think you are getting away with much when you do such a ridiculous thing like that.

Just because we are servers doesn't mean we don't deserve a little respect, last time I checked I am the one taking care of you and literally serving you, leaving a good tip isn't going to hurt you, let alone if you make me run after you for it.

Just a little food for thought!

Until next time....xoxoxo!!!!
