I always tip 15% unless the food and service were exceptional or dreadful. If it's great I'll go up to 20% if it's bad I'm not beneath tipping nothing at all.

Bar service, I will open a tab and tip at the end 5% to 10%

Oddly enough, the only time I was called out on tipping was when i went to Europe for the first time. I was in Greece, Italy and Spain and people kept either trying to give me my money back, acted overjoyed or offended.

With tipping the thing that pisses me off is delivery. The shop builds in a delivery fee to the price, I'm sure the kid that delivers my food sees none of it, I feel obligated to tip the driver as he works for a shit wage and puts wear and tear on his vehicle but WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WAS THE DELIVER FEE FOR THEN?!

Agreed. But frankly I feel the same way about bars. Bars charge a huge markup on alcohol. If I'm already paying 2 or 3 times (or more) the cost compared to buying the booze from the liquor store then why on earth do I also have to tip? Is that not what the huge markup on the drinks is for?

Yeah at a bar

Was my second drink and I didn't tip because I would rather leave one big tip after I'm done for the night then small tips after every drink. Second drink in this 40 year old jaded bartender says
"you know we bartenders make our living off of tips"
To which I replied
"That' sounds horrible and I thank the lord everyday that I'm not a bartender"
Then I asked for another drink just to spite him.

Didn't end up tipping that night at all and was perfectly ok.

Tipping is there for when somebody goes above and beyond their normal work to make sure you are happy and satisfied. Doing your regular shit or having a shitty attitude and asking for a tip or even asking in general is unacceptable. At that point it's a fuck you loser I'm not tipping you shit.

Although where I live the minimum wage applies to these positions to, but a lot of people don't seem to know this and servers are perfectly happy to play up the depending-on-tips angle. I've had a waitress lie to my face about it, although it wasn't in response to not tipping.

Please explain, because it seems like they have a pretty sweet deal going.

A bar has a to pay the same basic expenses that any business does: rent or mortgage on the property, property taxes, employee pay, and legal fees, insurance, etc.

Beyond that it's very simple: they buy inventory (booze) and sell it at a high markup.

A bar lacks many of the expenses that other businesses have: they don't have much if any expensive equipment/machinery to maintain. They don't have ongoing R&D costs. They don't have much in the way of maintenance. Their number of employees is relatively small, and those employees are also relatively low paid. How on earth can they not be making killer money? Where on earth does the margin go?

If they were making killer money, there would be more bars. The insurance on bars is different due to possible DUI liabilities, monthly/yearly liquor license payments, and higher property taxes/regulations in order to even open a business that sells liquor.

But the biggest reason that drives the prices down to almost a negligible profit is the market. Why go to bar A if bar B has better prices, and its probably right next door. Bars have to under cut each other constantly, or offer better happy hour deals, in order to keep return business.

I've worked at service jobs where I relied on tips but I don't kid myself and think that working at said service job was ever supposed to be anything more than a stepping stone to a better job. If a person needs a living wage it's up to them to negotiate it with their employer, not me. If they aren't making enough money it's not my fault that they chose to work there and it's up to them to find a better job then.

so i went to a clutch concert with my friend and he gave me some jaeger to drink. i got a little sick but whatever still went to the show, amazing too.
so we meet up with some of his friends after, play some pool and go to a mexican restaurant for some tacos.
at this point i feel really sick and only take a bite of the tacos they got me.
the others were trying to get the waitresses attention the entire time, she passed right by our table, looked directly at us and kept walking several times while they were calling her
she came back to give us the bill however, still didnt say a word. it had the tip included into the bill too
so they decided to just pay for the food and not the tip and leave
as we were in our cars the waitress runs out and starts screaming at us. every one drives away fast as hell and she is in the street chasing after us
then like 3 blocks away i have to get out of the car on a busy street and puke everywhere

15% is standard for a sit-down restaurant.
- Calculate tip for the price of the food, excluding sales tax
- If you're using a coupon or other discount, base your tip on the normal price of the meal
- For cheaper meals, leave a minimum tip of $2

Only put money in tip jars at places where you're a regular (if an employee doesn't thank you for the tip it's usually a sign that the owner pockets everything). For delivery it's better to pay the driver his tip in cash. Again, some bosses pocket tips from credit cards/paypal. I tip delivery drivers 15% with a $3 minimum.

High quality service should be the fucking norm you dumb cunt. You don't tip the guy who services your car because he managed to not get brake fluid all over your leather interior, so why the fuck should you tip some splitarse who has done nothing more than her job of bringing you your food?

Servers will never make less than minimum wage no matter how low their hourly pay is.

If a server doesn't make enough tips that they end up making at least minimum wage, the restaurant is required by law to make up the difference.

Stop perpetuating this myth that servers going to starve or get evicted from their homes if you don't tip. Even if every single one of their customers doesn't leave so much as a penny, they still make 7.25/hr or whatever the minimum wage is in their area.

I tip according to service, but I've only ever had one dining experience where it was so bad I couldn't be fucked to leave anything.

It was at a waffle house, and me and my bros were made to wait 30 minutes to finally be given an undercooked, doughy waffle. I sent it back, and fifteen minutes later they gave me a waffle shaped piece of charcoal. I ended up wasting an hour of my life without getting so much as a bite. To be honest, I was more embarrassed for the people that worked there than I was angry at them.

Work at a pizza place as a driver:

the delivery fee is economic deterrence. That $2.50 is a LOT in getting people to come pick it up and if there was no difference in price between pick up and delivery (maybe a tip or whatever) they would ALWAYS pick delivery.

This would kill the business because drivers can be on the road anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes round trip, especially if on a triple delivery, so they would have to schedule more drivers to meet the demand for delivery without really having an increase in orders because around the same amount of people would be ordering, it just would be all delivery.

OR what I say to people on the phone:

Pays for the company's insurance to have drivers (which it does kind of, unfortunately it just covers the store from us fucking up).

the system is stupid, but you're focusing on the wrong part of the equation.

As a pizza shop manager manager, I personally pay my drivers $5 per delivery plus their tips. I charge customers anywhere from $2 to $6 depending on how they're paying and if they live in an adjoining town to offset what I'm paying said drivers.

How would your employer know this? You report tips to the IRS, not your employer. Why would you let your employer see your tax return?

Tipping is expected, but of course you have the option of not tipping for sub par service.
