This is why I hate going into stores period. Outfished is right, it's partly training. Think about the last time you bought something and your change was counted back to you properly and not dropped haphazardly in your hand, and on top of that YOU get attitude from the person on the other side of the counter. It is beyond me why a manager would let a kid or anyone get away with talking down to a customer. In most cases, the customer IS right. I don't even want to get started on the abuse of my food in supermarkets. "Look dude, I'm sorry yoiu ain't making enough to cover the cost of another dozen earrings and a new paintjob on the hair, but don't take it out on my food. I plan to eat it when I get home. You wanna slam dunk something go find a basketball court."
Even where tipping is appropriate, I have no problem rating the service I got and tipping accordingly. It's not rocket science. Deliver the product with a pleasant demeanor, on time, as requested, and stop back once in a while, smile, and see how I'm doing. If you expect 20% from me because you think just wearing an apron makes you a waitress, you're probably already down to 10%.
