I've learned to head off the excellent speech by allowing it the first time. Then I'm very clear in my response: "OK, you said your speech. Now, if I hear it again, it will affect the rating." If they start it again the next meal, I tell them that I will be mentioning it to the head server that I've asked not to get the excellent speech numerous times. Usually, I don't have to take it that far.
Yes, I've checked "yes" on the "did you feel pressured to provide excellent ratings".
I like this approach! We are sailing in September we are going to try this thank you. Tried the carrot. Time for the stick! Thank you.
