waiterfaggot spotted. get a better job if you wanna bitch about tips

[Anonymous No.13901309]

why do servers think they're entitled to big tips? maybe you had to carry out a few extra trays but the kitchen staff is putting in the overwhelming majority of the extra work for a large order, not the server. if you wait on the table for the same amount of time, you don't deserve a larger tip. a $15 supplementary tip is still a good amount of money for the amount of time you're usually serving a table, especially if you're working other tables at the same time.

I'll usually tip >20% if I'm taking up a whole table alone at peak dinner hours but that's only when I'm traveling for work and therefore not coming out of my pocket. I wouldn't go to a restaurant alone for dinner if I wasn't on the road and 20% of a two-person tab is enough to keep a roof over their head

if you're travelling for work what's the fucking point isn't it works money? isn't it also some place you're not going to go back to so might as well not tip. at peak dinner hours there are plenty of other tables to tip them anyways so it's not like your tip will be missed much

It's due to the fact that usually the employers pay the shitty minimum wage at start and only way to make decent wage to essentially rely on tips for their income. It's the reason why I don't bother tipping anymore outside of restaurants and only if the service was excellent. The waitress bitch thinks she's entitled of her 20% because she thinks you greeting the customer with a smile and gave out their order with likely help of another waitress/waiter gives them the right of 20%.

No. Zero percent is the normal amount. If a server wants an actual wage, they should get an actual wage. Purposely relying on others to donate them money, then getting mad when they don't is 100% their own fault.

The most I spent for the least quality meal was 120 cdn for two people at a fondue place. You got a few pieces of chicken breasts with different sauces a few pieces of beef, some bread and a shitty beer dip and cut strawberries with chocolate for desert.
Was just bland and boring but I guess you pay for the novelty.

Who actually gets a job as a waitress expecting to make REAL money?

If I leave a tip it's either 10% or $5, whatever is less.
And that's a big if.

Although once, when some ladyboy with dyed pink hair and bleached fucking eyebrows forced his way into replacing our original waitress, we told him our 12 person group was splitting to individual checks and agreed to stiff him entirely. We were seated near to the door to the kitchen, called one of them from the door and loudly expressed our enjoyment of the meal while handing over a stack of mixed $20s and $50s while the kitchen staff and our original waitress cheered.
The utterly crushed look it had was the greatest dessert I've ever had.

I work a non-culinary topped position and I couldn’t agree with this more closely. I have co-workers EXPLODE when foreigners don’t tip them. In my position, we make an alright wage and the tips are an icing on the cake, maybe a third of total take home amount.

I’ve worked BOH in several positions and all servers are good for is eye candy and the occasional fuck. They constantly complain over the dumbest shit despite working less hard and getting paid more than BOH

Nope. Yes when you buy food at a restaurant, you entered into a sales contract, but the terms of the contract are the price of food on the menu + tax. I did not contract to pay a server's wages. In fact because a tip amount can very, it literally cannot be a term of the contract because terms have to be exact to be an enforceable contract.

Years ago I ate at a restaurant with my then bitch of a wife. It turns out that I didn't have enough cash for a tip, just the bill. So we left without tipping. Seconds later the manager came out, screaming at me why I didn't tip. I told her I didn't have any extra money. She couldn't say anything after that and just walked away angry.
