2 issues I have with waiters and waitresses

I'm not tipping any waiters or waitresses. Your job is to bring food to the table, that's the only shit you have to do. That's what you get paid to do so why the **** do I have to tip you extra for it

You're lying.

You have to know a lot of them get less than minimum wage.

[Kblaze8855]

You're lying.

They really dont. If they make less after tips and the 2-3 dollar tipped wage the restaurant has to make up the difference to get them to local minimum wage. The myth otherwise is pushed by servers who themselves dont know that because the business isnt gonna tell them....and it rarely being an issue because of how hard it is to not hit minimum wage when you make 3 dollars an hour plus tips. One tip of 5 dollars would get you past it here.

Over a few hours with several tables?

Its hard to not make it...but if you dont....the restaurant has to pay the difference.

They arent gonna tell you that though. Im sure some dont do it because employees dont know they have to.

[Kblaze8855]

Anyway a system like brazillian steakhouses use would work for OP.

You get a card or a tower or something. Green side up they come to the table with meats and so on. Red side up they dont bother you.

[JohnnySic]

I worked in a restaurant and I can tell you that different guests want different things.

When I eat out, I want to be left alone unless I need something. But some guests expect attentive service particularly if its a fine dining restaurant. Their thinking is, they can get a steak anywhere, they're paying a little more for good service.

PS - people who dont tip need to stick to places where they hand you your food on a tray.

My issue with them is what you mentioned but I hate when they ask if you're ready for the bill when you clearly aren't finished. Tore a review up one restaurants ass for this and the owner reached out to me.

Was halfway through my meal and was ordering drinks and she asked if I'm ready for the check. Bitch no.

Go to Asian restaurants, they give you food and stay the fk out of the way. White people just love to be pampered.

[scuzzy]

Tip or bounce

Decent traffic Restaurant/Bar/Night Club/Gent Club industry in US generally make under minimum wage. Usually half min wage. Tipping is their main source of income. Sometimes it's spread w/employees, sometimes individual (bartenders)

And I guarantee you someone in your entourage either works or has worked in one of those areas.

Not tipping just makes you look like an ass. Never short the people that fix your drink/food

Yeah. You still have the same issue with the bill, though. I've had to wait 10 minutes for them to finally bring over the bill, and when I paid, I had to wait another 5-7 minutes for them to bring the change back.

That seems to be the case everywhere.

[iamgine]

Tipping is cultural. Even if the waiters make $15 an hour, Americans will still tip them. It's no longer about making minimum wage but more about showing that you appreciate them. If you don't tip, it would be like saying "your service sucks so much" in America.

It's the same as...in some countries, eating with the left hand is a no no because it's the butt wiping hand in the past. They now have automatic toilet, hand wash and use toilet paper...but they still won't eat with the left hand.

If you want zero customer service at a restaurant, go to an Indian restaurant.

[DaHeezy]

So you don't want to be bothered, but can't find anyone when you want service. I suspect the vibe you give causes the servers to think you're unapproachable.

OP, go to a buffet. You pay, no need to tip. Get your own food and drinks. Problem solved.

But if you really don't want to be bothered, ask to be her friend on Facebook.

It doesn't matter if a person believes in tipping or not. It's a cultural norm in North America and an accepted way of earning a living in the hospitality industry. So by those standards you are a douchebag when you don't tip

This is true. Is tipping really that big of a deal for some of yall?



I'll tell you one thing, I don't conform to the whole percentages thing...that's absolute BS :oldlol:

So if my tables total bill is $1k, then I owe the waiter $200?? :roll: Take this $20 and be happy.

Yeah it is a big deal because it is 100% of the income a server makes.

The ones who work at places where you could possibly spend $1k are taking far fewer tables. If you rack up a bill that high at a normal restaurant, then it's likely because you have a gigantic party and that server spends their entire shift taking care of only your party. If you give that person a 20 then you are trash.

Everything you described is literally their job. It is their job to do those things. They aren't doing anything extra outside of their job description from the things that you mentioned. I don't get a tip at work for doing my job, I get my salary and nothing more.

Fast food restaurants are just that, fast food. They don't specialize in service, they specialize in getting you your shitty food, fast.

Make the employers pay minimum wage and abolish tipping, it's stupid as ****.

And I have worked in the hospitality industry, my dad was also a chef his entire life.

Wtf? I am helping the businesses BY tipping if anything. If tips stop they'll be forced to increase the wages to align to what they should be. By tipping you're encouraging the rich to stay rich by allowing them to keep the working wages low.

I didn't invent the system and I'm not saying it's a good one. This isn't an argument about "how it should be" because in that case I would agree 100%.

I'm talking about what you actually do. The system is what it is.

I won't even lie, if she's attractive, i tip extra. If she's ugly, i tip based on service. But more often than not, i can't stop myself from tipping well when the ass is phat or the face is cute of said waitress. I have tipped extra to ugly chicks bc they made me laugh or they made the experience worth it.

Was at an english pub on Thursday. Had a beer and some wings. Total tab was like $20. I was going to tip $5 but she went on about how she likes the beard im growing and it looks good on me. So i tipped her like $15 bc she gave me a boner and boosted my self confidence. :oldlol:

1. That will never happen. Servers make well above minimum wage everywhere I have ever seen. Because thankfully most people are not selfish enough to not tip.

2. It SHOULDN'T happen. Serving tables is hard work. A 5 hour shift as a server feels like an 8 hour shift doing almost anything else.

If tipping didn't exist, service would go in the toilet and then people would bitch and moan about that. There's a reason its there.

[Kblaze8855]

It’s there to make restaurants who have razor thin profit margins easier to keep open by getting customers to pay for employees. The service at the kinds of places you go and get bad service is always going to be bad because it’s a shitty establishment like waffle house. The service at a great restaurant is always going to be good because they train their waitstaff.

A great restaurant wouldn’t hire the shitty workers bad restaurants do and let them behave like bad servers.

A manager at a great restaurant actually cares about its reputation. IHOP doesn’t give a ****.

So if my tables total bill is $1k, then I owe the waiter $200?? :roll: Take this $20 and be happy.


At the same time, if my bill is only $10....ima leave you a $5. It works both ways.

It all depends. I look at how much it contributes to my dollar per hour. But if I am grinding it's nice to see that value go up

I don't agree with this.

Everything you described is literally their job. It is their job to do those things. They aren't doing anything extra outside of their job description from the things that you mentioned. I don't get a tip at work for doing my job, I get my salary and nothing more.

Fast food restaurants are just that, fast food. They don't specialize in service, they specialize in getting you your shitty food, fast.

Make the employers pay minimum wage and abolish tipping, it's stupid as ****.

And I have worked in the hospitality industry, my dad was also a chef his entire life.

I agree. That's their job. I was just responding to an ignorant comment saying all server do is bring food.
But read my other point on why you should tip

[DaHeezy]

Americans and their tipping :roll:

You already paid for the meal why do you have to pay extra to the waiter, for what?

It's not my fault their boss is paying them below minimum wage

It's not the server's fault either. Blame the system. Don't take it out on the server. If you don't like tipping there are plenty of options. McDonalds doesn't accept tips. You're always welcome there.

Is your issue with the pricing or is it just merely the idea of tipping?

Because the US could outlaw tipping tomorrow and you can guarandamntee your sorry ass that meals are going up literally everywhere. EVERYWHERE. And then you'd be forced to pay, lmao.

People that tip, as they should, are the ones subsidizing your cheap jew ass.

You're the dumbass, you ******.


100%. Like I said, blame the system, don't take it out on the server. Go to other options if tipping is an issue.

Also servers remember shitty tippers. Don't ever expect to get good service if you ever come back. And if you're a decent tipper, you'll get more than exceptional service. My regulars always get free drinks from me. I discount food. Give them all the mistakes. They get a king's treatment.

Yeah pretty much every non-American says this. Your thoughts are completely unoriginal.



Not just non-Americans. Blacks and Indians are notoriously bad tippers.
Supe, I guess that's why Indian restaurants don't get tipped? :lol

I'm not tipping any waiters or waitresses. Your job is to bring food to the table, that's the only shit you have to do. That's what you get paid to do so why the **** do I have to tip you extra for it
Why tip someone for a job I’m capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair. I did, however, tip my urologist, because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones.
