Server Follows Customer for Tips
My son and I went to the Cheesecake Factory in Orland Park to celebrate his birthday. The food was good , service was okay. The server was attentive. The problems : our silverware was literally on the table.Not in a napkin, not on a plate. Ok we got over that one. After I paid the check I went to the front to get some change so I could tip the server. The to go line was long so I was going to escort my son to the car as he has CP and can't stand for long periods and I was going to come back in. As we were walking to the door I kept hearing little comments. I finally turned around the server was behind me. He shrugged his shoulders and said and I quote" really, nothing". Seriously you're not gonna give me anything." I could not believe my ears. Who follows customers for tips. Mind you my bill was 92.00 already. I still was going to tip before he made that comment. I moonlight as a dasher and I get it. But customers are not obligated to tip. The person is paid by the company. If a person wants guaranteed tips from everybody then they should get a job that guarantees tips from every table.You don't know the person's financial situation or anything and then to say something like that is highly offensive. I spoke with the manager. She did apologize. But I don't think that should have been the extent of that situation. Highly unprofessional and highly disrespectful. The whole situation dimmed my son's birthday. Trevor should be ashamed of his behavior.
