Not everyone is super wealthy like you and flaunts it by tipping 30% and rounding up or whatever you do.  That's just throwing away money.

it is perspective really. I have bartended by whole life on the side and her too and server. We over tip for sure.  But a lot of people really need those tips. Luckily we don't. 

She works 10 to 2. its perfect mom hours to drop the kid off and pick him up.

I really made the thread to say John Farrell was in my sad town.  

[TimHauck 1,806]

So about 17.5% even if tipping on total w/tax.  Don't see the issue.

[GobbleDog 822]

$6 on $34.20 is 17.5% ....?   That's more than I tip. 

Sometime in the 90's the world decided 20% was the new standard. But restaurant prices have skyrocketed, and now the tip percentage is supposed to go up too?  Nuts to that. Ya get 15% no matter what.

Terrible service ... 15%

Mediocre service ... 15%

Awesome service ... 15%

Not even 20%.  cheap focker.. She sent me the slip.

just the tip?

[Nomad99 429]

What's sad is that people EXPECT a 20%+ tip. I tip 20% for good service on a regular basis......but it shouldn't be expected. Here's a TIP......If you want to do better.......get out of the food service industry, earn an EXPECTED hourly wage...........& pay taxes on ALL your earnings. If not.......STFU.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,700]

What’s the difference between you bringing me a 40 dollar steak and a 30 dollar chicken dish? Why do you get an extra two bucks depending on what I order?

No one ever on the history of this board shares more personal things with the board. Trying so hard to start anti-political threads and different stuff to discuss.

That's my usual method.  If paying by credit card I'd just go straight $7 though.

Grady Little would have asked for a different waitress after the food had been served

Starting by calling all people who don’t agree with you cheap. Right 

 

Never entrusting a single fact about yourself, your work, or your family, to the digital world.

[Alias Detective 1,180]

My regular lunch sub shop gets $2 a person.  There are 4 of us so she gets $8 tax free in a tip on top of the $12 an hour on the books.  That’s one of 6 tables and a 5 seat bar.  Oh and oodles of takeout tips too.

[Gepetto 989]

Twice some waiter kept like $20 or more instead of giving me change first.  Had to wait and track them down to get change and then leave a regular tip like planned.  Focking thieves.

What did she send you the slip for? To show you that she served Farrel, and when you saw the tip, it upset you?

[GobbleDog 822]

Ever have lunch with "Mr. Judge of Waiters" ?  It's time to pay the bill and give a tip they start analyzing...

"Well, she only refilled my water twice and it took longer to get the food than I expected... but she was semi-nice, although I didn't like her tattoos... so I don't know... 10%, maybe 15%..."

For the love of God. Just pay up and let's go. You suck.

You also don't pay a full 15 or 20 percent when two thirds of the bill came from the bar, right?

Hey I don't mind it for my $6 drafts, but, the $20 fancy cocktails my hotwife has to order every damn time adds up in a hurry.  Forget chicken vs steak.

Tipping rules:  When you are comped on a drink make sure to tip the full amount, your waitress isn't doing any less work.  OK.

So what the difference in work for well vs. top shelf, someone had to reach up?

dude you want top shelf but can't tip on it? just never made sense to me

reminds me of some friends and guys i know....big houses, luxury cars...but disappear when time to pay the bill or start analyzing effort by waitress and tipping 5%.

i'll live in small or reasonable house and drive a preowned car before i'm a cheapass...but hey that's just me.

if you're a chepass, sure. the tip is no going to the state (usually)

 

Or the IRS because you know for a fact that she's not claiming it.  Heck, she probably only claims about 40% of she makes anyway.

a) I think a lot of stuff in this thread is in jest.  I don't really do those things, I'm a really generous tipper.

b) I think it depends on where the money comes from.  If you're self made you did it by paying attention to every red cent and it's a hard habit to break.  If you're born into it you're more likely to be reckless with money.

More than anything I want consistent logical rules.  You can't use the amount of work argument for comped drinks and then ignore it when the bill includes a thousand dollar bottle of wine. But the etiquette rules do.  And the you're rich so you can afford it plays right in to the liberal agenda.
