Fish On Rice review Unbelievable: Quote:

consider that the manager is a cheapskate who doesn't want to add another personnel to the service i worked in small restaurants where i was the only waiter and it aint easy u cant expect great service from asians any ways |
lol thats a pretty interesting story. The one on broadway seems to have way better service. |

This is like going into a restaurant and realizing you don't have your wallet after you've eaten. I am in no way defending fish on rice. Their Kingsway location is terrible but their broadway location is actually pretty good. |
^ Yeah heard horror stories from the MT location...... |
i went to the metrotown location a few times... the food there is very good to my liking but the service there is pretty bad... but then again i cant realy complain cuz its all you can eat and its flying busy on sundays. they bring out food randomly... for instance i ordered chicken wings and miso soup and a bunch of others and the first thing that comes is chicken wings... now i ask myself how does that work out? all in all id go again. |
i base my tips on how good service was. if the service was poor then i leave less. if it was good then i leave more. simple as that. to that first commenter, i would have taken the tip he tried to give back only because he was throwing a fit that they didn't give enough. hey, if you don't want it--fine. clearly they didn't deserve it. |
Again, I don't understand why everybody feels that a minimum 10% tip is gauranteed? When someone in another profession does a good job for you, do you give them a tip? |
Well, I guess that most people don't really care about the service and just kept going back to eat so why would they feel like they need to improve their service. Guess that's why places like this still get lots of business. When it's cheap enough, no one really care about the service. I've been there once and would NEVER NEVER go back there again. Too many AYCE places to subject myself to random order filling and bad services. :mad: |
Ehh I'm on the fence with this topic as I've been waiting several years. I do understand why the staff would get angry at getting little - no tips. Since waiters have to pay sales back to the company if their tips are really bad sometimes they do have to pay back the company out of their own pockets. So i can usually sympathize and do pay at least 10% if the service isn't horrible. However, that being said I have been to the fish on rice on broadway. My friend made a mistake paying in debit and the manager/cashier did the same thing. He flipped out on him until he paid the 10%. I think the bottom line is, there really isn't any rule that says you have to pay tips. And that its plain unprofessional to throw a fit if people don't pay you what you expect them to. Especially if the service sucked. If they really have this problem then just tag on a service charge to everyones bills its as simple as that. |

ebei almost did a similar thing to me and my friends after they underbilled us and then chased after us as we were getting in our cars, demanding that we pay for their mistake.. whats with chinese sushi joints? i try to avoid them and ayce like a plague.. the service is never good (chinese places in general)... nor is the food. |

If he had not mentioned that part, I would not question his story but seeing as he focused an extensive amount on that, I doubt it was only because of the service he didn't tip. |
being a manager in a restaurant in my early years, i would go up to the table which left less than 10% tip and explained it was not mandatory but highly appreciated; also, take that chance as an opportunity for improvement to find out if there were any particular issue the customer(s) were not happy about. like Moratorium said, in most restaurants the waiters had to "tip out", as in pay a certain percent based on their total sale to others (Kitcken members, Manager(s), Brake & Damage) before they can take home all their tips. In another words, if a waiter get no tip from a table, he/she is acutally losing money to tip out from his/her own pocket. regardless, throw back at the customers is a no-no ... remind me of a real conversation between a waiter and a customer back then ... w: the service i provide is excellent and i found the $5 tip you left me out of this $100 bill is an insult c: so how much should i tip? w: 10% of $100 is $10, since you already gave me $5, why dun you tip me another $5? c: no, i dun want to insult you again w: ........ FUUUUUUUUUU |
they have free pop haha |

I would really like some input from people working in the food industry cuz the way I see it, it's just encouraging employers to squeeze their employee and transfer the cost to customers. |

i do have to agree with CRS. i'm guessing the bill was 19.75 and you only wanted to put down a 20 hence the "didn't expect to become that much". again this is just a guess. I know if we got a bad tip you expect 10% but to show the lack of professionalism. I mean seriously; asian place for 40 dollar meal and you didn't get 4 dollar tip, ghezzzz i rather let it go than get bad rep. from all of it. PS: the review is so bad i want to see how bad it is. |
In Europe and Asia leaving a tip is almost unheard of. A lot of places don't leave tip if they do its like $1. I get that waiters live off their tips and crap but be happy your getting any at all. Good service = tip. Bad service = no tip. Simple as that. I've been working in the restaurant inustry for over 9 years now and went to school for this crap. Servers in North America are just plain spoiled and half the time don't deserve to be tipped at all. Sometimes when a guest leaves a tip I want to give it back because my staff gave such a shit job. How bad is that when the manager wants to give back your tip because they didn't believe you got the best service. Working in Vietnam is shit. Beyond shit. I never worked in such a shit place before and its a famous hotel in Vietnam. These fuken retards even forgot to pick up the head office people at the airport. Im jsut bloody happy as hell that tomorrow is the last day of my contract and I get to leave finally. I had 1 server tell me that rat shit was sesame seeds ... BIG PIECES OF RAT SHIT my boss is always like OMFGMOFGFFFFGOMFGOMFG in French. Really feel bad for the guy ... hahahahaha |

Either that or tag on a 'service charge' to everybodys tables. A set % for service charge that has to be paid, then noone has to decide how much to pay etc etc. The main gripe with people and tips is that they're expected to pay it but its not necessary to do so. Then why not just eliminate that expectation. Put the tip% as a service charge on the bill plain and simple, people have to pay it as a part of their bill so its mandatory. This works for people out of town who come in as well from Asia and Europe so they don't unknowingly screw over waiters because they aren't used to NA customs. |
lets just put it this way western restaurant, tip yes chinese restaurant? FUCK NO, leave a penny and its more than enough japanese / korean are usually not too shabby PHo? hmmm i dont know, not really a service but watever, i eat there a lot so the last thing i would want is somebody fucking with my food |
^korean restaurants are usually super understaffed and have terrible service... waitresses are usually students and i swear they're trained to ignore you most of the time. which is surprising because the service IN korea is amazing everywhere u go, and you dont tip. |
i'm surprised the person that had change thrown at them didn't grab a glass of water or something and throw it in the manager's face. that story is almost unbelievable. |

Who wants to have a revscene meet at fish and rice? We'll be like 50 people deep and at the end we'll leave a one cent tip for the entertainment factor. Or we could split up in gorups of 5 and do it at the same time while someone else films the reactions and puts it on youtube. |
