Having people say your name gives a good psychological hit of goodness, but the only reason you'd be willing to spend the time and money required on this is to gain a greater advantage.
So you're trying to impress someone else. And worse, you're trying to impress someone who you think gets impressed by this kind of thing.
- VengefulCynic 15y agoWhile I agree that this is slightly cynical, you're approaching this as though it's also exploitative and one-sided. If you're a good tipper and frequent diner, there's a strong financial benefit to the employee and it turns into a mutually-beneficial business relationship. If not, then you're an obviously-manipulative asshole who tips poorly. A regular who's transparently manipulative and a poor tipper has a good chance that someone on the other side of the relationship with a similarly exploitative value system will find a way to settle the score.
