Wanna box for that?

When a waiter/waitress asks you "You wanna box for that?" Reply "Ok,  but I'm pretty sure I can take you."

It takes them a while to get it, but it's really funny when they do. Note: be sure you don't order anything after that.

After so many years in show business, I've witnessed so many wait staff a hard time. It is not an easy job,  by any means. Patrons are impatient, at least many are. We will demand satisfaction. Why?  Because we have the power.

We can choose to spend our dollar wherever we choose. With the fight for everyone's dollar amongst businesses in a down economy, patrons are not as tolerant. I always try to give the staff the benefit of the doubt. We never know what's going on behind the scenes.

The wait staff at Wiseguys Comedy Clubs, in Utah are a prime example. I'm most familiar with the staff members I Ogden, and I can tell you, they are awesome. There are normally two, dividing the room, no easy trick, but they do their very best each night to satisfy the guests.

The cheapskates are the worst. They demand service, and even when they get it, they still stiff the waitstaff. That's just wrong. Leave your waitstaff something, 20% for outstanding service, 15% for satisfactory service, and 10% for average service.

TIPS is an acronym: To Insure Prompt Service. Try this, sometime; give your waitstaff a nice tip as soon as you order. Watch what happens. You will most likely get the service better than you've ever had.

Just a tip from a tipper.

See you tomorrow.
