NOT at the chain restaurants I have gone to or mom & pop local restaurants either.

It's not unprofessional. If anything, ask ANY customer, they'd rather have their order RIGHT than sit there wait to eat. You just want to make excuses to be lazy and uncaring.

I'd rather have my order right. Just the other day, this waitress brought out my condiments ahead of time WITHOUT me asking. She wanted a good tip. Got over 25%. You want a good tip, GET MY ORDER RIGHT for things you *CAN* control.

Many of your "facts" are simply opinions of other people that you agree with so call them "fact". Your "proof" are small snippets of one guy with no context to support his statements nor your quotes.

One time i watched my beer sit for 10 minutes. by the time it was brought to me, several flies decided they were going to take a crack at my drink. When i brought it up to her, she told me to pick them out. So i told her to pick out her manager from the floor and we had a nice talk. I spent the rest of the night at the bar where the service was top notch. no joke, the bartender was very very good at his job, managed his entire bar of 20 spots while making drinks for a restaurant. After this i vowed to never wait for a drink so the next time it happened I watched my drink sit there for about 5 minutes, left the table and parked myself at the bar told the bartender that drink sitting was mine and i'm moving to the bar. The server was pissed but hey, when i order a drink is not the time for you to go out for a smoke.

I always wondered why they choose to work in the kitchen if they didn't like it and over the years realized there aren't other places that will hire them.

I work as a server and sometimes when I put sauce on the side, the cooks ignore it and tell me to take it anyways and see if they say anything. So yeah... not always the servers fault
as a former cook, i think you need to sack the fuck up and tell the chef or the expo guy that screwing up the order isn't acceptable. Any real cook/chef who takes pride in their work wants every order to go out as they're supposed to. If your cooks don't, speak up or i'd be looking for another spot to work with professionals.

Should I tell them when its my boss in the kitchen as well? Its not like this happens everytime. My point is that sometimes the cooks make mistakes and servers tips are penalized so you shouldn't always assume its the servers fault. I work at the top rated restaurant in my area and the chefs are the ones who handle the sauces since some are made from scratch.

I usually tip 12-15% unless it's alcohol.

Unless I'm pissed about how I was treated, in that case it's usually whatever coins I have in my pocket.

Take 10% of the bill and double it = 20%. 44.15 * .1 = 4.41 * 2 = 8.82.
