Outing your bad tips: awesome blog

[MyOwnDemon]

I went to lunch today and I think the bill was like $30 or so, so I tipped $8. That chick was awesome. I pretty much always double the tax, and if the server was particularly cool, I'll add on to it.

^ Pretty much this.

I order from the same pizza joint every friday night. I always tip the driver extremely well, like $10 on a $20 order. No matter how busy they are, I always get my pizza in 20 minutes or less. And it's usually loaded with toppings and hot & delicious every time. Trust me, people take notice of good tippers. You will definitely get better service as a good tipper in restaurants and establishments you frequent.

Worked in the food service industry as a cook for like 6 years when I was younger. It sucks, I would rather clean public restrooms rather than ever go back to that shit existence of working in greasy ass kitchens and getting yelled at by highschool dropout managers day after day. Low pay, just a complete dead-end job.

It really takes it toll on you. I don't understand how people can work in that industry their entire lives. I could write a book on the shit I've seen and the needless drama created by miserable co-workers. It's fucking horrible. I'm so glad I found other opportunities as I got older and got the hell out.

But back on point: I always tip well.

QFMT!

Thank God I don't have to bee seen in a restaurant with any of you cheap bastards. You can tell the crowd that has come into some accidental money, they're the same ones that don't tip.

I go out to eat w/ my father-in-law, and he's constantly complaining about poor service and bad food, and then he leaves no tip. I constantly ask him "Don't you see that you're the main factor in this never ending cycle?" But he doesn't see it.

The food at the restaurants I frequent is always cooked perfectly, and the wait staff fight over serving me. A few bucks to not have to be my father-in-law is worth it.

Your generalization is a complete fail. If you leave such a great tip all the time and so perfect, when you eat with your father in law why dont those people you tip so well see you and treat the whole table so well? They know you tip well right? Yeah didnt think so.

Sometimes, if I'm in Vegas. In other cities it seems like employees are instructed to refuse them, so I don't even bother anymore if there isn't a tip jar around or if it's not a service you generally tip for.

And if any of you are hung up on feeling like it's expected that you tip even when you get shitty service, you're obviously going out to eat at the wrong restaurants.

I went to lunch today and I think the bill was like $30 or so, so I tipped $8. That chick was awesome. I pretty much always double the tax, and if the server was particularly cool, I'll add on to it.

And the talk about regular tipping = perks is dead on. It's not about saving money to me, it's about giving my money to the people that need it more than the owner who is never there anyway and probably doesn't give a shit about them. It's my punk rock roots. I stick it to the man whenever I can.

Oh and ELIQUID IS CHEAP.

and your loose with your money. Oh SNAP, whatcha got to say to that????

I have tipped from anywhere from 0 to 100%+ on all kinds of bills and dont really mind it. Its about survival of the fittest. If some lazy piece of shit doesn't care about their job why should I care about them? I enjoy the look on the face of that lazy wait staff when they see a penny tip (but I always explain to them why) but on the flip side I love the look on the face of someone who has gone way beyond whats acceptable, when I leave them a tip the matches the size of the bill or more. To me the tipping system is designed to weed out the trash and reward people who bust their ass to make my experience better.

I would assume he and his father in law dont live together?

So they probably go out when he visits his father in law, thus they go to different places(the place DAD wants to go to) than when he is not with his father in law and eating with a date, himself, friends.

Most of my previous jobs were waiting tables.

I tip 20% on the regular for good service.
Decent is 15
Bad is 10

Lol, we all have relatives like that. I feel your pain brother. Does your father-in-law frequently get the shits when he eats out?

I don't understand the.. "If they're doing a service for you, then you tip them" mentality...aren't I paying you for the service?


Also, I'm not against tipping, I just hate how they're expected and a percentage is expected. If you're doing a good job then generally I wouldn't even think twice about it and leave a large tip, but I cannot tell you how many times I've wanted to leave no tip because I've felt the service was rather shitty but because it's expected/required I had to leave one anyways. If I feel you're doing your job good, or to at least the best of your ability, I'll give you a tip and that's for almost everything I do, not just bringing me my food. That is, If I feel you're going above what the standard level of "service" I'm already paying for is(and I don't mean giving me extra free stuff, just doing what I asked you to do really well), if you're not doing that then I get really annoyed when I have to tip. Tips should be incentive to do a great job, not be something expected.

I usually tip 10 or 20% because 15% takes more work to calculate.

If you aren't getting tipped, it's because you suck at your job.

I tip like the cab driver missions in GTA; you start at 15%, and get docked based on what you do.
