Ärende: RE: Denny's Grand Slam
==============================
Hola Dale!
-> 
->  HN> I made a point of going to my local Denny's today.
->  HN> I spoke to the servers and asked them what they
->  HN> thought of the day...I drove by this Denny's on 
->  HN> Tuesday and the parking lot was full, people were
->  HN> parking on the adjacent streets, and the line was
->  HN> almost all the way around the building! 
-> 
->  HN> The servers said it was a mad house, And people
->  HN> would have the free breakfast, but would walk off
->  HN> without paying for the drinks or other extras that
->  HN> they'd ordered. I asked how the tipping was (my 
->  HN> usual practice when I'm "gifted" a meal like that
->  HN> is to tip the price I would have payed) and evidently
->  HN> the folks who showed up for free grub did not consider
->  HN> tipping at all! I have no idea if it will "work out" for
->  HN> the company but the workers sure felt it was a 
->  HN> worthless endeavor!
-> 
-> I can understand the waitstaff's reaction.  I cannot understand why
-> anyone would not have known that the free promotion was for the
-> breakfast item only, and did not include any sides that they might
-> order.  I really hope that the waiters did not have to eat the unpaid
-> items.
-> 
Urp! Oh lordy that brought up a horrid mind 
picture!! I know what you meant but the 
mind picture came anyway! (grin)

-> Like you, when we use a coupon or free offer of any type, we make a
-> point to tip based on the price before discount.  IMO, that is the only
-> fair thing to do.
-> 
If anything I'm a pretty good tipper 
to start with, and if I get a bargain
on the meal, I'll share the bounty with
the waitstaff. 

In asking around I have found a good number
of folks that I know go to this particular 
denny's...seems they have two mexican 
cooks who are really pretty good..and the 
waitstaff has been there forever. Next time
I go there I might have something more than
an english muffin and coffee. .......maybe!
chat with you soon!
