how to tattle
Tattles are "micro service reviews" that are passively created as part of a process for an objective tip calculation. They provide a quick and easy way for you to explain your service experience. Just click your way our simple process and you have provided an objective review in no time!
While all steps are optional, users are encouraged to use all of service tattlers service elements to calculate service level objectively. Each simple service element of yay, boo, timer, tip, tattle is intended to help you quickly and accuratly quantitize the service experience and report it via web, email and social networking.
Great service is something that people should know about. By identifying good things that happened to you, others can know that you do more than just criticize, you are willing to take the time to recognize good service. Its easy just select the YAY items that occurred during your service experience, or add your own (coming soon).
Face it, sometimes service is lame. When this happens it is important to tattle, just to save the suffering of others at the hands of lousy servers. With service tattler you are armed with clear evidence of their sucky service, so go forth fearlessly. You are not judging, you are measuring!
Timers are simple click-able stop watches for common service activities. Have you ever wondered if it only felt like an eternity to get your first drink? Timers are definitive measurements so there are no arguments. And since you can see all of your previously filed tattles, its easy to compare too.
What if the amount you tipped wasnt based on some arbitrary percentage, or what you are expected by society, but by a standard of service that could be clearly defined. Basically all the service elements you report on feed into the star rating, and the rating is what determines tip. Simple, objective, and mindful tipping at your fingertips.
Sharing your experiences with other helps the entire community, and your friends too. We have implemented a number of ways for you to share your reviews with others, via our website, your twitter feed, or send your review to any friend by your gmail account.
