Outing your bad tips: awesome blog

[mGrunin]

If my waitress is hot and female, she gets a good tip even with so/so service.

If my waiter is male, the tip is a lot less, but if the service is REALLY good, then the tip will be better.

I'm one sexist mofo.

Hah, same here. If it's a good looking chick, she gets an automatic 20% tip unless she really fucks up. Like serves me chicken instead of steak.

Actually if it's any college student serving me, I'm a lot more generous with tipping since I kinda feel bad for them.

Seriously... if you don't like the concept of tipping when you eat out, make your own food. People who work in restaurants do so because they earn a living from tips. That's the only reason they show up.



Believe it or not... not everyone who isn't wealthy deserves to be mistreated.

Exactly...make your own fucking food and drinks. Seriously think about why you get bad service. It's from all the bitchy people with a sense of entitlement -- "I'm spending my hard-earned money and I want, I want, I want." How much of that shit are these low-life losers supposed to take before it wipes the smile off their face?

Furthermore, where are you gonna eat out when everyone moves up the ladder in life and there are no more low-income folks to take those jobs?

Japanese culture is awesome, but North Americans are too full of themselves to gravitate toward their level of human kindness and service.

I both delivered pizzas and waited tables while I was in school. To answer those who asked, "why don't you get a better job?"

1) because being a full time student means you are limited mostly to part time hours.
2) the town i was in had 40,000 in summer time and 65,000 people when school was in session, so not a lot of good jobs around.

Haven't you ever heard of selling weed ?

so glad you made this. seriously, people who have never worked in the service industry need to suck it. it really fucking stinks when you're making below minimum wage sometimes and some lousy fucker decides its ok not to tip

Holy shit, what a stupid fuck, they make it seem like its an entitlement to be getting tips. If you aren't happy with your $ flow get another job dummy.

I live in Australia and tipping is not expected, but its usually done anyway. But you can get away with tipping 100% of the time and you will most probably not get any shit for it. Unless its a very high end resturant where status and ego are present. When tipping is usually done it's usually at the 10% area.

Waiters etc. get paid $15+ hr minimum wage by law so I guess its less of a big deal.

Tipping on pick up? Fuck that!

 

[teck112]

I tip well. Know why? Yeah part of it is I know they don't make shit so I help cover them for that. Also if I'm at a place a few times as a good tipper suddenly my steak comes out quicker, my food is cooked better and lo and behold my mixed drinks are suddenly 99% alcohol instead of the normal watered down profit making mix they normally sell.

If you are a shitty tipper they remember you and you arent going to get any special favors. If you are cool with that, be a shitty tipper.

Also not everyone working those jobs is planning to make a career out of it and maybe they are only there for a few months for some extra income. Dont be a dbag

I have no idea why people who have so much are so whiney about sharing with the guy or girl busting their ass to make you happy. If they do a bad job, then leave them less, but why not reward those who work hard? If you don't want to tip, go pick it up and eat at home.

I respect you had a job, I respect you went to school and I know what it is to come from a very small town as I live in one now.

However, I look it at it a couple ways.

For one, if your in school your prob. not gonna find ANY good jobs, if your in a small town then its the same as well. Just having 1 of those means your not gonna make very much in general and you had both. However, just because you went to that school or stayed in that town and took the easiest job you could ( not meaning easy that you didnt do work, but I mean easy for your situation ) doesn't mean I should know subsidize you for it when I eat or drink in your business.

Also, it has nothing to do with being whiny and wanting to share with those with less. I worked for 16 years online before I hit the "big time" as some would say, but even in those 15 years I was making the same or less as many bartenders and waitress's I knew so why should I share? Also I pay a ton of taxes that takes care of those with less so why should I share more? How about we ask Bill Gates to share some of his wealth with Wickedfire just because he makes more then all of us combined?

Also, many of you say that you should tip because someone does a good job and bust their ass to make you happy, but on the flip side I bet none of you tip your mechanic, contractor, CPA/Accountant, Affiliate Manager, or even your bagger at the grocery for their good job.

Doesnt compute with me.

1. There will ALWAYS be someone to take those jobs, wither its illegals, students, etc.

2. I dont make my own food, just like I dont change my own oil. I dont tip the guy at the quick lube for his great job so I dont expect to tip the server.

3. If you dont like your job, find a better one.

I travel alot, so I doubt those people remember me when I come back in 12 months later. Also, most of the times the service is just "normal" and not worth the 20% i could lay down for them.

I get some people take on jobs to get them by for a short period of time, but many people take on 2nd and 3rd jobs to get them by like being baggers at the grocery and I dont see you tipping them.

ITT: People who make more than 99% of the population complaining about tipping.

You have no clue about money then. Its not about what you make, its about what you keep.

Not saying the 20% I keep from my bill would "break me", however I see no sense in paying more for something, especially when the service was normal or average.

There is also the Dwight Schrute method of tipping (paraprhased): "I don't tip people for things I can do myself. I don't tip waiters and delivery people. I do, however, tip my doctor because I can't pulverize my own kidney stones."

 

[eliquid]

^^ lulz. Understood.

 

[potentialeight]

For clarification, is anyone here suggesting that you tip 15-20% for bad service?

 

[eliquid]

i consider normal service the same as bad service if that helps.

bringing me the correct drink, refilling it when i ask, taking my order, bringing me the correct order, and then bringing me my bill is all expected. if you do only that then I feel it was normal or average, nothing great about that and i lump that into bad service.

the only way it can get worse is bringing me the wrong order, wrong drink, or not refilling my drink and in ANY of those situations I am asking you to change it to make it right which is to be expected when I dont get what i am paying for. If you keep bring me the wrong thing, then i am going to keep asking for the correct thing. when you do bring me the correct thing, then now your at the "normal" and "average" level again as that is all expected from you anyways.

True Story: Two years ago when I was trying to get my drivers license I had a driving instructor. Well after I took about 12 lessons with her and went for the test and passed. On the way back I actually handed her $50 and said thank you for helping me pass. I thought she would decline it and say she can't take it because of company rules, but she took it with a smile.

I worked in food service for years to get though college. I don't know how you guys are complaining that waiters make no money and how poor they are. In the 7 YEARS that I was in the restaurant business I never saw anyone make as much money as the waiters did for so little work. The bar tenders had it even better.

In fact they were all very cocky about it myself included. It was easy money for just pouring peoples drinks and talking to them 2 times. You stacked money all night/day long, even if you gave shit service people still felt obligated to tip you something at least. We went home with a few hundred dollars a day and partied like rock stars.

Every weekend we got out of work at 12am pockets full of cash, hit up the bars, drank until last call, went to bed at 5am, woke up at 4pm, and went to work. We all smoked weed, drank and some did coke. Waiters, bartenders, and kitchen staff included. Bartender chick I dated had a new BMW, and a new condo on the water.

I have worked as a waiter, a room service attendant, a bus boy, a food runner, a line cook, and a pastry chef. I have never seen a poor waiter who hated his job.

Also room service was one of the best scams I ever had(back then). Auto 20% just to deliver it to your room, the check had a spot for tips so I got another 20%. I left, and at the end of the day all I had to do was gather up trays.

Forgot to quote your previous statement:
