I think one of the arguments that I am most tired of hearing is that the servers will not provide the same level of service for DDE customers (when they are getting a guaranteed minimum tip of 18%) as other customers who are paying OOP or are on the DDP.
I've said this is not the case many times in this thread, as have others, but I am still reading comments like this.
The DDE is not presented to the server until you receive your bill, and thus service has been 'rendered' already. Unless you make the decision to tell your server when ordering that you have a DDE card, they will not know and they will not know they are guaranteed anything.
I am glad that it has been established that this is DDE only at this time. I also understand those who feel irked that their freedom of tipping a discretionary amount has been severely limited. The only way to adjust your tip accordingly for poor service is to talk to a manager.
I for one am hopeful though that if more are talking to managers about poor service, that something will be done to correct the server. Many have complained about Disney's deteriorating service. Maybe this will help service improve overall.

Servers will not feel overwhelmed to provide the same great service if they know the tip is guaranteed to be 18%. It's not rocket science here.......human nature dictates many of us will do as little as possible if we know our wages or job security will not be affected.
