In light of the Tip Theif Thread...

[SVT Lurch]

I generally tip well, but those of you that think tipping is required are nuts. All my friends that have been/are waiters except one hate me for it, but my "tip" to them is get a job where your income is not determined by some jackhole that's in a bad mood that day. I've never had to be a waiter (although I have done food service [cleaning BBQ pit for $5.25/hour]), so I guess I'm fortunate in that respect. All that said I've never left less than a couple of dollars (I think that was Chili's on a $15 tab).

The last time I went somewhere with a waitress my tab was a little over 12, I left a 20 and that's not uncommon, sooooo 40%?

67%

Most ppl don't tip bartenders for to go orders, and it pisses the bartenders off. I'm definitely in the minority. But, again, I've been there, so I know what's right. Also, if I'm picking up to go orders, it's for 10+ ppl, usually a business lunch. And that takes a bit of time to assemble, more so than a single order to go.

on a togo order i would consider 5% more than fine unless its 10 orders with all seperate checks. had that one last week at 7pm while we were busy lol

I am a fair tipper. To some I am a very generous tipper. I have left tips bigger than the bill. But if you give me awful service with attitude, you will not get any where near 15 %. You will be lucky to get 2 percent if anything. Nothing in the book says I have to tip. They are earned. Just because you expect it, does not mean you have earned it.

I don't do it every time, just when I've been places where I have gotten shitty service in the past. .

Then why go back? I also don't feel the need to tell someone to do a goodjob because I may compensate you well. That is like telling someone at a normal 9-5 to be on time each day, do what you're supposed to and you may get a nice raise at the end of the year.

I don't do it every time, just when I've been places where I have gotten shitty service in the past. You would be surprised how many servers appreciate honesty. If you tell them up front how much they can make and what not they will work harder and do their jobs properly. I am a regular customer at a Chilis where I did that before and even if the guy I said it to isn't waiting on me he comes by the table and talks for a bit. Try it some time, it really does work.

Pretty sure he meant sexist.

And he called me ignorant? What the hell is this world coming to

[347Mike]

ya..you've been eating cum

lol This.

I never understand people who bitch out waitresses guy at the fast food line before they get their food. They sure are a bunch of hard asses but the joke is on you once you start slurping up the extra gravy.

[STANGGT40]

If I'm not mistaken, the Sonic chicks make like $8/hr. I still tip a buck fifty or so.

I don't do chili's, and have never picked a to go order up at curbside, but I'd treat it the same as picking up a To Go order from the bar. I tip on to go orders, because it takes the bartender away from tipping customers, to prepare it, check it, add condiments, etc.

i usually just give the sonic person a buck...but if i get something from chili's (or the like), i usually give them at least $5...depending on what the order is. (5 for a small order)...i don't know why that is, because they do the exact same thing. the cook makes it and they just walk it out the door to your window.

btw...i live in wide awake wylie...i don't have a lot of choices for a quick meal, so i'll drop by chili's and pick something up to take home from time to time.

Racist? What the hell are you talking about?

Pretty sure he meant sexist.

I have been known to just tell the server this:

"As of right now, you are getting a 20% tip. You fuck up, screw around, don't fill my drink, etc. etc. it goes down based on how many times and how badly. You do everything perfect and are a good server it goes up. Your choice. I'll have Ice Tea thanks."

ya..you've been eating cum

[War Machine]

Wow, you're ignorant, and borderline racist.

I'm going some where fancy tonight. Im going to tell the bitch waiting on me how big a tipper I am. Then Im not going to tip her shit. I might even short her ass just to spite this thread.

If it's a guy waiting on me, Im going to ask him why he has a girls job and tell the manager to bring me a real waitress.

Wow, you're ignorant, and borderline racist.
