Are people kinder to waitstaff nowadays than they used to be?
I'm a server but I'm in my early 20's so I obviously haven't been doing it very long.
Both of my parents were servers in college and they said the way people treat waitstaff now is significantly more reserved than it used to be; they said people were not afraid to be demanding or flat out rude in the 70's/80's, even about things that are out of a server's control such as how long the food is taking or how good it tastes, and I have noticed that throughout my entire waiting career that 95% of people understand that what the kitchen, or the host, or the busser does wrong is not my fault.
Maybe I just have really nice customers lol, there's still a <PERSON> here and there but that's at every customer service job. Is this true? 612
