Where is the wasted time for table 2?
Next question - when does table 2's "turn" end? If they ask for more ranch dressing, is it still their turn? So should the server go back and get them ranch before bringing your food? What about if the server comes back with the ranch and now they want a refill? Still their turn?
Ok, now here is the tricky one - I guarantee you will say that if the server forgot something and had to go back and get it, they should be docked from table 2's tip AND from your tip, because they wasted your time, right? But HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THEY FORGOT SOMETHING OR IF THE CUSTOMER ASKED FOR IT RIGHT THEN FOR THE FIRST TIME? For this question we'll put them all the way on the other side of a loud restaurant so your snoopy-ass can't hear. Do you DOCK the TIP or NOT?
