Waiters take no tipper into their own hands.

[jefehbk]

I don't have a problem tipping at a restaurant, if I have a $15 bill I usually throw in a $5. All this is based on the service though. I am not a needy customer or one of those customers that runs the waiter/waitress like a personal slave for every little thing.

But what if you had a party of 5+, as in the case in question, and the service/food was shitty. do you think you should still be required to pay the 17% gratuity if everything was below standards.

You and the others act as if it was your money you were spending...lol you going to give me a little out of your pocket to make up the difference so you feel better?

<===White and I do what I want with MY money thank you.

Edit:Realize that the differece of 5% is pennies right? So that means based off of the arguments I see, these pennies mean the difference between me being and "average joe" and a "broke dick". We are not eating at Three Forks here...

Where the fuck do you eat? If my wife and I go eat the bill is usually 30-40 bucks. 10% vs 15% ranges from 3.00 - 4.50 or 4.00 - 6.00. that's 150- 200 pennies.

I'm sensing potential confusion surrounding intended meaning of "class".

[bcoop]

I see the other races, but what is your argument for White people? Seeing as you seem to know the reason for the others...

Class issue.

[Jester]

It cracks me up the lengths some people go to in order to help (Help because I notice these people are always chiming in after the argument has been made) point out the flaws of others and their decisions while ignoring the flaws of their decisions....

You say it is a class issue or at least agree it is a class issue, there are other issues related to class, or lack of, besides tipping...

It's hilarious that broke ass cheap fucks use this argument to support their case. It never fails. Cracks me up, the lengths they go to, in order to justify being a cheap fuck.

Yep. 90% of the time it's a class issue. More people than you think stiff waiters at very high end restaurants. With Europeans, it's because tipping isn't customary there. With midle Easterners, it's being tight asses. With black people, it's being broke, and lacking class in most cases

exactly why they should read the menu before ordering. you dont want to pay then GTFO and go over to mcdonalds

[Roscoe]

<-- thinks that tipping 15-18% is often a great tip

[bcoop]

I am stating that a waiters wages should not be in a discussion regarding tips. Why should I (the consumer) have to make up for the establishments (employer) lack of compensation? It seems that whenever tips are brought up so are the wages and in my eyes their wages are none of my concern.

I tip based of service and amount of food (value) that I am ordering. Not "oh, well the service was okay at best but they don’t make that much, here let me give you some sympathy money"...

Shitty service = NO tip
Good Service = 10%
Great Service=usually $10 - $20

Wait staff spits in your food, and worse. Enjoy!

Not it doesn't. I know wealthy people that tip like shit. It is a class issue.

Unless you plan on going through the air ducts I don't see why anyone would tackle you?

I was basing my comment off of what you said:

If it wasn't paid then and they removed their ass from the chair I think it is pretty safe to say they WEREN'T going to pay.......

Sorry, I was ASSUMING you meant getting up in general

[347Mike]

You know that malls and dept stores have policies in place that state it is not shoplifting until the "suspect" (because they have not commited a crime yet) leaves the property..then it is theft.

Maybe next time I am at a restraunt with friends, we can all get up at the same time and go to the RR and see if any of the staff tries to tackle us...

This has to be one of the dumbest things I have heard.

When do you pay your tab and TIP? At your table when you hand over your card or cash. If it wasn't paid then and they removed their ass from the chair I think it is pretty safe to say they WEREN'T going to pay.......



If you are in a parts store and someone is on the other side of the store, grabs something and runs to the front door, but you get in front to block them, is it safe to say they were going to steal whatever it was or were they practicing their 50 yard sprint?

The fact that they were still inside does not show me intent. The news story stated they paid their bill, minus the gratuity, and were arguing with the manager about the gratuity. There is a reason that the police didn't do anything. Also, if they would have walked out not paying the gratuity you are looking at a class C.
