Imagine what some of the poor ****s have to deal with late at night, drunk twats everywhere kicking off and generally acting like ****s. No wonder their default setting is 'I hate my life'. My job involves dealing with IT-illiterate spastics who just want stuff done asap but I have to remain vaguely civil. Doesn't always work out like that...
You eat in KFC pal. You get what you deserve. Incidentally, when I was 17 i worked in a meat packing plant for a while. The wages were so **** that, in futile protest, I took to biting my thumbnails off and spitting them into the mince. I'd like to apologise now if any of my nail clippings ever made it into your Shepherds Pie.
It has to be said, even though a lot of people(wrongly, in my opinion) dislike the yanks, they do know about customer service and fantastically high yields
If you want good service stop eating in KFC and Subway . The McDonalds on Holloway road has 6ft high ipad things that you order from pay on your card and it spits a ticket out with a number on. You get half a dozen people standing about waiting for their number to come up like a strange sort of Argos food lottery. I send my 6 year old boy up and give him my pin number and let him deal with it. The staff in there if you choose to pay by cash at the counter are usually very civil . I lived in West London when the Shepherds bush Nandos got shot up by spades because one insulted anothers hair. ****ing dump .
I get what you are saying, but even if you go into a shop(which requires no tipping) they still say have a great day etc and smile. In Europe, you don't get served until the wee slag has stopped speaking to her mate on her phone.
Canada's the worst - was there on business a couple of times. Go to a restaurant and they are so over friendly you want to punch them. On one occasion I asked the waitress (who even bloody well asked me "how's your garlic bread sir?") if she would leave me in peace to have my meal and read my book if I gave her ten dollars there and then. She went off in tears and i ended up having a row with the manager.
Not round here in France, ****s are constantly saying hello, being polite and starting boring conversations. I miss London sometimes...
They pay **** wages in American restaurants but you better ****ing tip if you want to go back again. I even left a tip after eating at Nando's in Wood Green the last time I gave this cute little helpful Potugese girl a fiver because she let my 3 kids rinse out the frozen yoghurt machine and she was thrilled . I hope she pocketed it instead of adding it to the pennies at the till.
If we pull out of the EU I will start my own political party - one of my first policies will be to make it a criminal offence for strangers to talk to each other. Oh and i'll bring abck the death penalty just to make sure people obey it.
Hence, I have said in another post, their customer service is good in non tipping establishments, such as ****ing shops. **** off, Simon

Nope - was there for work. The book was Jack Hobbs' biography. i only remember that because all the ****ing staff kept asking in order to strike up a tip winning conversation
They would probably get fired if they didn't but they are hot on customer service. Weird when you go to a bar and they leave the tips on the bar until you go , it's a subtle way of telling you that it's expected I think.
A brief nod and a polite answer if you ask them something (can we have a jug of water please/can you get the bill) is all I want when I eat out. I do remember helping some confused tourists during the Olympics, they looked so ****ing grateful, they must have been wandering around the Tube for hours
