tanatastic 2,061 Posted June 12, 2018 http://wreg.com/2018/06/06/group-lights-up-walks-out-on-420-restaurant-bill/ The group caused commotion, lit up weed and walked out on the bill. Theres a happy ending though, after the story aired, a grandparent came in and paid the whole bill and the restaurant dropped the charges. Still just a sickening display. Honesty 420$ seems low for 16 people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted June 12, 2018 Id have slapped gratuity on there auto, like any table of 6+ or so should have.

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted June 12, 2018 Fock'm, I'd still press charges...... P.O.S. Had a similar situation in my town that ended up on GMA. Guys came in late in the middle of a snowstorm to a Mexican restaurant. The kitchen was closed, so the guys got mad and one destroyed the awning outside. Was caught on video, so the police posted it looking for more information. Guy who did it confessed and offered to pay to fix the awning. The restaurant decided not to press charges. I think it is the Messican restaurants because they don't want ICE breathing down their necks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite Messican place in the world, and I have eaten at a lot. is here in Beverly Ma http://acapulcos.net/ one of my favorite things, there are 0 white people and 100% mexican staff. food is great.

kilroy69 993 Posted June 12, 2018 jesus dude. you don't even try to hide it Straight up. I have waited tables many times over the years. I spent my early 20s waiting tables. I worked in a red lobster. A cracker barrel, a Steak and Shake and at a local no name restaurant. Within the serving industry it is VERY well known that black people do not tip. It is not like there is any guessing about it. They simply do not tip. At each place I worked at the same thing went down. Blacks would come in and everyone in the bullpen would hope they are not the one up to serve them. Demanding and then at the end they give you like a dollar on a 50 dollar meal. Or nothing. Then you have to smile at them like that is an OK thing to do. Is it really racist if its true? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But behind the nasty connotation of my post, theres unfortunate truth. Even hookers have a no AA policy usually. Hookers! That aint because of dong size. Its because their odds of getting beaten up or not tipped goes way up. (I wouldnt tip em either, fock that, their fee is their tip.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted June 12, 2018 No its true. They are bad tippers. Used to work at my sisters restaurant back in the day. Theirs is a chicken wing restaurant so a lot of blacks came in. However, occasionally you would get a couple decent ones. A lot of times the repeat customers always would request me and would actually tip pretty decent. Probably cause I didnt treat them with contempt and chatted with them a bit. But on the whole, yes black people dont tip well at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,631 Posted June 12, 2018 It's not just that they're bad tippers. Historically, they are incredibly demanding. Very rude to the staff. And probably most damaging of all, they take up at 10 top or whatever and then just sit there and sit there and sit there. Other not knowing or not caring that turnover is key in the restaurant industry. Honest to God, a huge percentage of these class action suits were blacks go after restaurant chains? Is because they bring it on themselves. Staff and were management tries to hustle them out tries to bend over backwards to clear the tables, offering to bring them anything else and they just sit there and sit there. Oh, and by the way? The reason to go for Mexican joints is because blacks like their flavors. Meaning, they like flavored, fruity, beverages. One of the first thing is Magic Johnson did when he bought all those theaters was swap out a lot of the colas for orange and grape Etc. And made a fortune just on that alone. We had a Mexican place just down the block from one of my locals in Houston. He was bitching about everything I just typed. And the one thing we all told him? Get rid of all your fruity margaritas. He did, and his problems cleared up about 80% overnight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

penultimatestraw 473 Posted June 12, 2018 Ok then it’s settled, everyone else is wrong and you are right. Easy peazy. Cheers Nah, I just gave my personal experience. But it appears a difference does exist when this topic has been studied: http://www.tippingresearch.com/uploads/ethnicdifferences.pdf Anecdotal evidence suggests that many waiters and waitresses deliver poor service to ethnic minorities because they believe that ethnic minorities are poor tippers. How managers should deal with this problem depends in part on whether or not ethnic minorities really do tip less than Whites and (if they do) on when and why this occurs. This paper reports on two studies that address these issues. The results indicate that Asians tip less than Whites in comparisons across (but not within) restaurants and that Blacks tip less than Whites in comparisons both across and within restaurants.
