is it impolite to ask a girl to take her shoes off before "getting busy" in the back of a mercedes? - Page 3

When i was growing up shoes came off if u wanted to go anywhere in the house other than the kitchen. But because my mom's BF has a dog in the house i won't walk in the house without shoes on cause i will get mt sock dirty and upstairs where my bedroom is no dog or shoes. And in the car though i would let a girl get away with it any of my other friends get b*tched at if there feet get off the floor mats.

Speaking of shoeless, I think I'm going to make my back seat off limits to the combination of kids and food. One of them little devils put a shorcake stain in my rear rug mat. And it's one stubborn stain. The funny thing is I didn't think it was so bad until I took a picture of the back seat and notice this big old strawberry shortcake stain and crumbs on the floor mat. The crumbs came up easy but that stain... It drives me nuts.

Ever since one of my friends spilled sprite on the floor may of th 300sdl food in my "good" cars is a HELL NO.

why on earth would you let a child eat strawberry shortcake in your car?

I agree. Shouldn't children learn to respect property including someone's vehicle interior?

How do you teach a little kid how to eat a sloppy dessert cake in a car? It's not the kid's fault the car got slimed. I'm with MazdaCaddi. A little adult supervision would have been in order.

OK, I wasn't clear. The kids should learn not to eat in a car at all, out of respect. If they are too young, the parents should demonstrate repect by not serving food at all in a car.

Speaking of kids and eating sloppily. For any of you parents that take their kids out to restaurants and let them throw food all over the tables and floor...CLEAN IT UP! My God...do you let them do this at home?! I hate it when parents come out to eat and figure it's the servers job to clean up their mess. We don't enjoy picking up your kids' slobbery mush when they don't like what they're eating and decide to spit or fling it onto the floor! We get paid $2.83 an hour to serve you and work for your tip...not be your maid/nanny. *end rant* Whew, I feel better!

Is is OK if there's a 30%+ tip on the table?

How is it OK for the kids to behave in public that way? It is a real reflection on what slobs and pigs the parents are for leaving a mess. Money is not the issue.

Then I guess she doesn't need a tip at all.....

lol, Germanstar, if you leave the mess...I require a 75% tip for the hassel! Cuz it's taking more time away from me paying attention to my other tables...and flipping that table quickly for the next people to come in and sit down. We servers like to be able to clear your dishes out of the way during the course of your meal. That way it's quick when you get up and leave to clean the table off and get the next table to sit down so we can make money off them. So, taking the time to scrub down the table when the children smear their food into the table and all over the seats...along with trashing the floor, takes way more time to clean up. Which isn't easy to take care of...especially when we're busy. So, yeah, 75% would be good. :) It's a maid service fee. Haha.

Wow...I took this totally off topic!

I am begining to think that is our goal. How off topic can we get?

Just get GermanStar to take his shoes off and walk in that kid-goop. There. Back on topic.

I've been to dinner plenty of times with my mega-rich cousin and his cohorts (which include some world-class celebrity psychotic types). He would typically reserve an entire room of some high-end restaurant or another, then Kenny and his buddies would absolutely trash the place. Management and employees alike loved him (or at least pretended to), because they knew he'd drop a $500+ tip on the table for their trouble.

I guess there are exceptions, but most people don't go to a restaurant intending to trash the place. Obviously, there are restaurants that cater to grown up punks. If your cousin went to a regular restaurant and intentionally started trashing it, he'd get arrested. It's hard to say whether they'd let it go for a good tip. Maybe, maybe not.

I doubt the slobbo-kid's parents left more than a couple of bucks.

If there's celebrities there, I'm sure management would put up with it because they're renting out an entire room, and leaving a good tip. It makes for better business for them since the clientel would be all "OMG, so and so eats there! Lets go!" Hence making their restaurant look good because the "likes" of a celebrity would eat there. Stupid, yes, but true.

as i used to be a waitress aeons ago, i always stack up the dishes and clean the table of what little bit of a mess we made to make it easier for them.
i also leave at least 25% tip unless the service was poor.

however i also take into consideration how busy the restaurant is and how demanding the other customers of theirs are being.

That's always a Godsend. We love people like you! We really think that every single person in this country should have to work a serving job AND one other type of customer service type job for one week out of their lives JUST to see how awfully people treat one another. We think it would make everyone respect one another a little more and make all of our lives a little easier.

IMHO, in regards to shoes, it would depend how "spikey" they were.

Maybe you could arm yourself with those felt stickies you put on the feet of your dining chairs. LOL

Customer service, it ain't what it use to be overall.
Then again, there seem to be alot of just angry for nothing customers out there too.

yeah, we get a lot of i'm ticked off and your the lucky person i'm gonna take it out on.

doesn't help anybody...unless your trying to make everyone feel the way you do.

And as far as the earlier kid and shortcake incident.

They were not my kids, a friend of mine kids, and secodly, I didn't kow they had the cake in thier bag, I was too busy driving t oquestion them about the bag or didn't have really a reason too since it didn't look suspicious. I knew they eating something but didn't know what it was until they exited and I saw the after math. It irked me (I don't even eat and or drink while driving, or do all that other "distracting stuff that Americans tend to do.") that they was eating something in my car in the first place, without asking at least but hey, didn't want to seem like a total butthole and plus I was concentrating on the task at hand and the task of the future.

i asked my gf to take her shoes off and she got kind of upset.

Next time don't ask a girl to take her shoes off... Beside girls feel more the urge and excitement getting laid with their shoes on... After that just clean your floormat...

Here's a question along the same line. When you get into the girl's car, and there is twelve inches of trash in the floor, should you say anything?
