Everyone should have a pretty long leash with the service industry right now. Those poor folks, the ones that are actually still left, are short handed as all get out. Pretty sad, TBH. Folks over at French lick were short handed as f*ck. Several of the restaurants were either closed or very limited hours. Had the same guy, by himself, wait on our 14 top 2 nights in a row... at different restaurants. He was absolutely busting his ass. Refiling waters, running cocktails from an outside bar, wine, food, bread. Of course it was a bit slow but not from lack of effort. He said they're normally running 2-3 people for a table like that and have several large groups nightly. We were the only table one night, period.
Big fan of receipts with suggested tip amounts already calculated at the bottom for you. Makes those tipsy calculations a lot easier.
