How to Handle a Competent But Aloof Server? Other times you may run across a waiter who – though competent – is in the midst of a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and your pleasure is low on his check list. These people can generally pull off an acceptable service experience, despite being indifferent to how they come across. I believe it is unnecessary to contact the manager if you've had a mostly pleasant dining experience – everyone has an off day. Just imagine if your worst day at work was made worse by the fact that someone had “told on you” to the boss.
