I lived in France for a year before moving to the US. Even though French waiters are notorious for having terrible service, I always received excellent service by being very polite to the waiters.
The idea that you are entitled to excellent service because you are paying is pernicious. If you want excellent service, treat people excellently.
- PostOnce 9y agoExcellent service should be the default, and you only lose it by being an asshole; in other words, I'm not paying for the privilege of having to work extra hard just to get decent service. Literally the only thing you are paying for is service (the services of cooking and waiting on you), otherwise you'd be eating at home.
- m_t 9y ago> I'm not paying for the privilege of having to work extra hard If being polite to people is working extra hard, that might be the cause of the bad service you receive.
