No, I have respect for servers. And anyone can make a mistake. When their attitude, though, is "I don't have time to help you," or "That's just not my department," then I'm likely to start getting more pointed with my complaints.
Just as I would never be a policeman, I would probably never be a waiter--but I'm glad someone does it.
But a server HAS to remember who they're working for, or they have to decide they don't want tips.
Now, just personally, I wish restaurants would raise their prices, include the tip in the cost, and get rid of servers who don't earn their pay by keeping the customers happy.
And I fully support a database of "trouble customers" that a restaurant manager could consult before he took drastic steps, much the way doctors subscribe to a list of lawsuit-happy patients.
