Bad Fucking Tippers

They chose poorly.

Ideally you pick a job, even a part time job that has a pay rate that is typically higher than what a hard working illegal can make in the field. Hell even the illegals know that they can go commission and get per bushel or ton and then send out the family.

Well for most it isn't a poor choice. Good waiters still can make decent money, even if the hourly is $2.13. While I made tables for instance, I was making anywhere from $500-$800 a week. That is between $15 and $20 an hour. It does suck however when you never even get a paycheck at all, because it all goes to taxes. It isn't uncommon where the pay is low for a server to go in, and not even have a paycheck. To make up for that, some server take a shift or 2 a week as a host, so that they don't end up owing the tax man money. While I don't think most servers should have a base pay of $8-10 an hour, I do think that minimum wage is only fair.

Just for whining about what you did get, next time you get nothing.
karmas a bitch!!

A good waiter, bartender, chauffeur, etc. doesn't dislike the overall pay. They can make VERY good money with the right company. We are talking about "why" one should tip here. 15% isn't a lot to ask for a minimum tip if the service was average.

You're beginning to sound like Mr. Pink in "Reservoir Dogs."

Some of you are just plain ignorant. If you don't understand the concept of tipping by now, you will never understand. You were probably brought up as a child with the "I don't believe in tipping" belief and continue with it as an adult.

Why is this here? I am lost

Tipping is part of the cost of going out to eat, it's assumed that most people realize this and accept it... it's why servers are paid far below minimum wage, around $2/hour in some places. When you stiff a server that's given you decent/good service, you're not only being a gigantic douche, you've also wasted his time (he could have been serving a table that would have actually paid him). If someone has given you shitty service, by all means, complain, get your food comped, leave a lousy tip... but stiffing someone who actually worked for you is just fucked up.

Servers are paid to serve you, yes, but most of their paycheck is supposed to come from the customer, not the restaurant. It's shitty, but it's how it is. By not tipping, they're essentially not getting paid for the work they just did.

Bonus fact: when you dine and dash, the server has to pay for your meal out of his tips. Most of the time the restaurant will not cover his ass. It always drove me crazy to see some suburban rich fuck decide he was entitled to a free meal, while the broke college kid who had the shit luck of having to serve him ended up paying for it.

For those of you whining that the servers should've picked another job, they took the job with the expectation/promise of tips. Most people realize that tipping is part of the experience, so this is a realistic expectation. It's just the ignorant assholes who apparently need to learn how to budget properly if they can't afford a 20% tip who fuck shit up.

If you understand all this and still screw over good servers, you've just been promoted to Captain Douchebag.

Bottom line: If you don't want to tip, go to a fucking buffet.

I always tip well for good service

Tipping is a courtesy, not a rule. Be lucky you got any tip at all.

You took a risk by taking off the automatic 20%. It didn't work out in your favor, you made a bad decision...get on with it and charge the 20% next time this guy comes in. Now...back to porn...

Are you serious? Tipping is a courtesy at Starbucks or now even freaking Subway wants a tip. Tipping is a rule at a restaurant that you sit down at and they bring all of your stuff to your table.

Aahahaha...!! lolol

Amen

To waiter should make $300 on 1 tip, he just a waiter
