| | Tip: When you've finished your meal, then please don't sit there yapping for hours on end. Pay for your meal, then leave; the waitstaff want to clear your table and seat other patrons. If you want to talk, then go to the bar. |

| | Having a reservation for a group of people (8 or more) does not mean you have the whole dining room. You, as the restaurant staff, have a responsibility to all the other guests to behave properly, not infringe on their dining experience and do not allow your guests to get loud and disruptive. |

| | owning my restaurant in melbourne, I have come across some very bad behaviour. Our waiters are well paid, it is not expected for patrons to leave big tips more around 5 -15% depending on the service. Waiters hate we customers go out of the way to say how fantastic there night was and then leave no tip, its a common practice which they think will go unnotice til they come back and get a average table and the new kid waiter looking after them, |
