    I don’t know. I don’t think people who work as servers can affect if the food is bad, or if kitchen messes up stuff… They just take your order and get your food. I’m not sure why they should also act like they like you, and you are their favorite person in the world when you come into the restaurant… :)

    I know you didn’t say any of that and with good service, thats maybe not what you meant. Just wanted to say my own opinion about service… I guess I don’t expect them to be fake and I don’t like it if they are.

      I’m not going to be a dick to them. I know they can’t control what happens in the kitchen or other customers.

      What I care most about is if they are reasonably attentive and nice to talk to. They don’t need to be to crazy but they also should care about my experience somewhat. Typically I tip around 15% but if the service is really bad I’ll go lower and if I feel they did exceptionally I’ll complement them and leave something closer to a 20% tip
