Then go to buffets instead of regular restaurants?
Then go to buffets instead of regular restaurants?
yea yea... I know, but the saying isn't meant to address some sort of cosmic sense of truth/justice. Its not like the customer has been endowed by the hand of god to be always truthful in speech/thought and always just in action.... they just say that to prevent petty conflicts between customers and such, most of the time its better business to just appologize to the customer for their unsatisfactory experience and perhaps offer some form of compensation to encourage them to try that experience again... but if they become a problem customer and it seems nothing is satisfactory for them then obviously you have to draw the line as they are just being difficult and trying to exploit your generosity.
Its not for everyone, but I somewhat enjoy it. When your at a resteraunt you can relax and appreciate hospitality, and when you work in a resteraunt you provide that hospitality to the best of your ability to make some money. Its not like they are a slave or anything... its just how stuff works, unless your willing to build your own shelther, hunt/gather your own food, provide your own transportation.... then your going to have to be part of this somehow. You work, provide service products out to society, get paid -- that money is a representation of wealth, or worth, how much you've contributed into society -- you use that money to purchase service or products which you are in part entitled to. By no means is it a perfect system, but its sensible imo. I don't linger on the idea of tipping or not tipping... if a person doesn't hit it off as a waiter, I won't tip them well, and if they don't get good tips, they will probably find a job which better suits them... its not personal its business.... its not like giving a bad tip for bad service is going to cause them to fall into poverty, if it on the off chance did, I would reconsider. The point is services/products are the basis for the workworld aspect of society... at the top you hope that the service/product you provide is a matter of your own personal significance or purpose in life... otherwise if you don't pursue that, then you really are just a slave.
