Anne Nicole, who works for LinkedIn, recently published a blog on imposing a Bad Guy Premium. I think this is a fantastic idea.
Anne talks in her article how apparently, if you jump into an Uber Car for a ride and are a shitty customer, the driver can rate you. Then when you go to hail an Uber later, drivers can see your customer rating and can make an informed decision on whether they should take your fare or not. That’s awesome. That would be a really cool concept for restaurants. I’ve worked in food service. I know what to expect when I go to a place like AppleChiliBees or OliveLobster. I know that my food isn’t going to be the most amazing thing that I put in my mouth but that it should come out at the very least hot, not cold and should be edible and not make me want to gag. My S.O. calls me picky and I am because I know all about shitty chefs and line workers. My buddy Benny, he could talk about shit kitchen employees all day, as he works for a really nice, although corporate, upscale restaurant locally.
If you are asking for 15 modifications on your meal and then bitching when it takes a little longer, you need to calm your tits and chill out, before the server decides to stuff your mouth full of straws and napkins. You should be able to seat a person and be able to pull up their information, using most likely a system to offer deals or discounts to get people to be apart of said registry or program. (I know, as someone who is Pro 2A, I would otherwise mention you should avoid registries of any kind at all costs) The program would be able to pull up tickets and notes based on your last visit. It could make notations like “Great Diner” “Rude” “Last Meal Comped – No fault of kitchen or staff” “Last Meal Comped – Kitchen/Staff at fault” – It shouldn’t be overly detailed, just a few selections to choose from and that could count against your overall customer score. Then when you become such a negative scoring shit head, no one will want to serve you and you take your bitch ass back home to eat some ramen. If you want to eat at an establishment that has a customer score requirement, you are charged a small fee and if you do not log a good experience, you are docked again.
What part of the human mind, makes it think that it is OK to curse, be rude and nasty to someone who gets paid $2.50 an hour to serve you. Honestly. Take a walk in a servers shoes before you decide to haul off on them and be a giant cocksucker. My aunt worked in food service for YEARS and she always made it a point to make sure that everything she did was to please her customers and tables, even if it mean’t pushing back against the rules of an establishment. So the next time you want to curse at your server for bringing you a cold batch of fries. Stop for a second, breath and understand that she did not cook them herself. The line cooks did and left them in the pass for too long.
TLDR: Stop being a bunch of entitled shit heads when you go out to eat or stay at home and eat saltines or some shit. Dickheads.
