Name something you really dislike about tournaments.

[Drecker]

We all love tournaments. The matches are great, the community is awesome, the atmosphere is electric, and the air is thick with Smashly-goodness. At the end of the day, win or lose, almost everyone has a great time.

But what about those things about tournaments that really piss you off? Maybe it's that one really out of place guy who doesn't talk to anyone, maybe it's the overly-excited twelve year old that ****s a brick every time he sees a combo, or maybe it's something totally different.

Name something that really grinds your gears at tournaments.

I'll start:

People who don't shower beforehand, or don't wear deodorant.

Seriously? Stop helping grow the "Gamers are gross nerds" stereotype and practice some god**** personal hygiene. Smash pits are grody.

[The Greater Leon]

huge venue fees

 

[embracethe12]

when food isn't in walking distance

 

[pockyD]

TVs that have no sound!

 

[SuperRad]

anytime i have to wait in a rotation for friendlies

 

[JDM]

When the tourney hosts don't do their jobs as tourney hosts and have other people do it for them but keep all of the venue fee to themselves.

 

[Kira-]

When I have to play matches without being warmed up, or not getting a chance to warm up because there aren't enough TVs and everyone is hogging them.

and all of the above

especially rotations. i hate rotations. then you're forced to win to stay on a tv and you cant try stuff out and things like that

edit - and you cant play someone good because then one of you is forced to wait, so you have to pick a TV with noobs but then you feel bad because you're taking up all their time and they just get ***** every 3 matches but sometimes thats what you have to do if you're not warmed up


basically more TVs would be cool

 

[Kouryuu]

[embracethe12]

Basically this

its cuz you stole the joke everyone was going to make

 

[LooksLikePit]

when we go to a restaurant and people tip. Waiters don't deserve free money; all they do is get food from the kitchen that someone else made and bring it to you

 

[Drecker]

Tournament organizers trying to scam money from people.

At a Third Strike tournament in LA last year, I remember the venue selling super overpriced waterbottles because the water fountains had an "Out of Order" sign on them. Said **** paying $4 for a water bottle, tried the fountains and surprise surprise they worked.

Guess people could drink from the sink in the bathroom, but... buh.

You dont understand how the restaurant industry works at all

People that don't tip are *******s, especially when we get great service in a large group.

fabian: I laughed but I think most people are too 'kind' to admit they did.

 

[Kouryuu]

im disapointed nobody laughed at my post

I laughed lol.

 

[Drecker]

I didn't laugh, definitely thought "Oh you!" though.

Yeah, not tipping is a **** move. Tipping is almost necessary in the service industry; to elaborate:

Hourly wages are usually a lot less in the service industry, because tips are considered part of the servers income.

Servers pay income taxes. With no real documentation of tips, the government will look at the servers food and beverage sales and base their taxable tip income on a percent of it. Not tipping them could actually cost them money to serve you.

Servers have to tip other members of the service staff (Such as busboys and bartenders). Sometimes support staff is tipped a percentage of the servers tips, so by not tipping one you're not tipping any.

Servers do a ton of work they aren't tipped on as well, such as cleaning, stocking, opening, closing, etc.

By not tipping, all you're doing is hurting the waiter. If you're one of those people who says "I don't tip because I want them to get better wages", you're ********. You're not helping their cause by giving their employers the incentive to pay them more, you're just screwing the waiter.

Think about this: If servers worked strictly off their hourly rates, the rates would be much higher. Waiting at busy restaurants is not an easy job, so the pay rate would reflect that. If the hourly rate were higher, guess what would happen to the prices you pay when you go out to eat or have a drink? That money would have to come from somewhere, namely your pocket.

Servers don't rely on their hourly income, don't know if you've ever been a server at a busy restaurant, but it's a ***** to do. By not tipping, you're really gimping the servers wages, how would you like it if you got a pay cut because your managers decided that you shouldn't be paid a part of your expected income because you're doing your job anyway?

TL;DR: Tip your waiters.

TL;DR: Tip your waiters.

this is unverified but i'm pretty sure waiters, if they don't get enough tips to meet the state's minimum wage, can demand the employer cover the difference

i've never ran into a waiter who made less than minimum wage, so they're obviously getting enough tips. and waiting at busy restaurants IS an easy job -- you don't need very many skills to do it.

there's no reason to tip the waiter just for showing up. if they do their job really well, i have no problem tipping them. the problem is most don't (because the vast majority of people tip anyway), so therefore they don't deserve a tip. if they don't like it, they should go find a new job or do a better job at the one they have.

and san diego reaper was the best answer in the thread. i find it laughably pathetic how he'll now try to hang around me and root for me to lose in friendlies and money matches LOL, what a loser

 

[Atlus8]

Hahaha! I remember one time when our waitress kinda sucked and P said "This b!+c# is not getting a tip!" It was really cool!

 

[joeplicate]
