What's the problem? I always try to tip as much as I can, when I'm happy with the food and service.

[Anonymous No.5003035]

>>5003027
I only tip 20% at higher end restaurants where the waitstaff really watches over and tends to your needs. My very broad rule of thumb is that when I sit down and the waiter comes over if they use my name as in, "Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Anon. Welcome to XYZ" then it's probably going to be a 20% night.

That's not very often.

[Anonymous No.5003037]

This seems pretty damned obvious to me.
If you commit a faux pas you get seen as strange. That's why it's called a faux pas.
I'm curious though, how many people who aren't footing the bill actually notice how much the person who is footing the bill is tipping. Would you really pay that much attention?

[Anonymous No.5003038]

I understand servers need to make money like everyone else, but why do you deserve a bigger tip if someone orders more expensive food? If I order a cheeseburger or a double cheeseburger, why should the tip be bigger because there's more food? The server isn't cooking my food. It's the same amount of work.

[Anonymous No.5003045]

Servers make more money for far less effort than most food service jobs yet they still have the nerve to whine.

[Anonymous No.5003052]

I only tip if it's a meal that costs over a certain amount.

Lets say it's $9 lunch. 10% is only like 0.90 which is hardly anything and embarrassing to put down coins. In these cases there isn't really a need. That 0.90 isnt that big a difference.

[Anonymous No.5003059]

If you stop letting the servers accept tips you have to start paying them untipped wages. You probably won't offer enough and your waitstaff will quit and work elsewhere for more money. That's capitalism.

Works that way with HP now as well. As soon as that bitch took over as CEO, now maybe she's fired but I suspect not.

She was not only spying on her own people as CEO of HP but was paid off by the US government to put little dots on everything printed by an HP printer to tie it a specific HP printer.

If you don't believe me, look that up. I'm not a conspiracy type, but technical facts are there and proven.

Yet another nail in the consititution of the United States of America!

Freedom of the press should be free and not have dots from corporations such as HP be used to track that which citizens of the USA write.

It's about right, those poor waiters deserve even more, how about next time you pass in front of a restaurant, make a quick stop and just give a tip, they are so poor. Thinking about it, make this into a law, instead of fixing your backward tipping system with let's see... maybe proper wages?

That was some old shit I played off on some old publishers in NYC when I was a kid and working for a real publishing company.

When folk say that $15/hr are proper minimum wages I think that's wrong. It matters upon where you live in the USA. I have no problem with people earning a living wage, they shouldn't just have to earn that, they should have a means to earn more, to make things better for themselves and their families.

There's nothing wrong with that at all, that's awesome.

If you politize that so what. Let's get rid of the tipping system so that everyone makes a living wage in the first place? What is that so strange and inconceivable?

I don't personally mind tipping but I do find it offensive that I have to deal with it especially with other people. And if you chase me out all don't tip maybe 10%, I'll smack you and won't apologize.

If you look at government expense account stuff it's clear that there's a base, then that base is modified by where a person llves or is at the time. So saying $15 nationwade is bloody stupid.

I've done that when one of my neighborhood restaurants started going to shit. Used to go there a lot, then service started getting really terrible because they were hiring stoners. Last straw was when the guy took my order, ran away before I could ask for a drink, was nowhere to be found for 30 minutes, and came back while talking on the phone, dropped the food on my table without even a pause, and dashed away again. I left exact change and never went back.

If they wouldn't have nice service without tips I should seriously reconsider the place you go to to eat. Spend the money you would've wasted on tips to go to a place where the waiters don't get paid minimum wage and where service is a custom.

Tipping is and was always for waiters which would go beyond standard service and really did something extra for the guests. Now it's a social construct for weak willed fools to part them of their money. A lot of restaurants nowadays actually require the waiters to return their tips and they only get a small cut from it.

I don't tip at all, unless the service is really THAT good and the food is even better. Happened like 5 times in my life so far.

And no, I don't feel bad. I fell good 'bout myself, because this way I can go to the very same restaurant more often (just cause I got the cash to do it) so not only do I get my food again, they have some1 to service and thus they EARN and not get the money.

why not instead of asking for 15 dollar minimum wage they say something like "if our wages + tips don't at least make it to minimum wage the business should cover the rest?(dont some places already do this(?) and really any business should be like that
