You almost have to pay a premium to get good customer service, now that does not mean we do not have those business's that truly care, it's just rare.Nimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03786584870278409312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051661296719728323.post-8267061265582281342009-05-27T15:12:31.118-04:002009-05-27T15:12:31.118-04:00Great topic!

Having worked in restaurants (from fine dinning to pizza shops) i have seen all levels of service and i learned in the very beginning how important good service is to the success of a job and also the business. Ultimately i feel that it is the managers/owners responsibility to educate, train and enforce proper customer service skills. Key word here is "enforce". Many times i've seen managers go over a standard book of guidelines at the beginning of employment but then never bring up those standards again regardless if they are being up kept or not. <br />I also think that a lot of casual dinning establishments are so "busy" that they don't feel as if they need your return business. I saw a lot of this in Orlando, tourist capital of the world, tables where always full regardless if the service was bad. I try to avoid eating at casual dining restaurants as much as possible because of the lazy service and mediocre food. We usually leave these places unsatisfied and disappointed. Fine dinning may cost more but its for very special occasions and we always leave happy with the service and food.U+Me=Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465065875902803208noreply@blogger.com
