DammitSteve now stiffing waiters?

[FOKAI]

Cheap ass that sucks.

[CexMashean]

On the contrary, when I eat out is almost always in a group of four or more.

By the way, did you ever get your girlfriend back, the one you lost to that huge heifer after your failed attempt at a three way with them?

I'm sure your fat ass eats enough for a party of 8 anyways.

I dumped her. She was costing me too much at restaurants.

You realize this is a common practice for tables of eight or more at pretty much every restaurant since the dawn of time, right?

Yeah, but how did 8 people eat for $34.93? 6 or more at some places

I do, but my comment still stands. Automatically charging a tip removes the incentive for waitstaff to give the usual service that warrants getting a tip.

Sounds like you dine alone a lot, it's ok.

What a chicken-shit excuse..

[CexMashean]

No way!

[Slow Five-O]

Waited and bartended at chili's for 4 years when I was younger. One of the best times of my life after work. During work was miserable some nights simply because of morons like this. You pay for goods and SERVICES. Almost got fired several times just for calling cheap people out.


Also all the stereotypes are true (like most).

When I worked at Chili's in San Antonio, groups from a pretty well known mega church in the area would come in juuuuuuuust before closing almost every Sunday. They'd come in and request seating for groups just under the automatic gratuity party number, but all wanted to be seated in the same section. Week after fucking week, they'd stay until hours after our posted closing time, and we MIGHT see a couple bucks per table....if they were feeling generous. We finally got to the point where we would refuse to take their tables without an automatic gratuity and they quit coming in.

That........... is ridiculous. I would have gone to the news with that.



< former waiter.

Too bad the waiter couldn't reply back, "Then maybe you should ask God to refill your tea next time".

[Nash B.]

Even if it was $300, for 20 people, that's still $15 a plate/drink.
Sounds cheap to me.

No way!

Saw this on Yahoo when I was checking my email! Some people

If a place automatically charged me 18% for a tip, I wouldn't ever step back in their door. I give tips based on service, when a place automatically takes it from you and gives it to the waitstaff it removes the motivation for the waitstaff to do a decent job. Fuck that.

20 people, over $200 worth of food? Sounds pricey.
