lol @ everyone who thinks if you don't tip you're a douchebag and that tipping is expected
EXACTLY THATS THE PROBLEM, its not required, if i don't tip you, im not gonna get arrested, so shut the fuck up with all that crap.Comment

I understand not wanting to reward bad service, but it's still service - and if you don't leave the waiter at least 8%, you're possibly putting him/her in a position where he/she has to pay out-of-pocket in order to serve you.
And that's buying a shitload of bad karma, imho.
If you don't like the level of service, leave 10-15%, and let the manager know... if he/she doesn't satisfy you - never go back.
Proper tipping's a reflection of one's level of class, I think.
Staying at home and cooking for and serving yourself is always an option.

I thought this thread was about Tipper "Second Helpings" Gore:
Anyway, here is what I think is the definitive debate about tipping (from Reservoir Dogs):
NOTE: Yeah, I know Steve Buscemi was Mr. Pink. Tarantino originally wrote the no-tipping dialog for Mr. White (Harvey Keitel). In the end, Buscemi did a great scene.NICE GUY EDDIE
Okay, everybody cough up green for
the little lady.
Everybody whips out a buck, and throws it on the table.
Everybody, that is, except Mr. White.
NICE GUY EDDIE
C'mon, throw in a buck.
MR. WHITE
Uh-uh. I don't tip.
NICE GUY EDDIE
Whaddaya mean you don't tip?
MR. WHITE
I don't believe in it.
NICE GUY EDDIE
You don't believe in tipping?
MR. PINK
(laughing)
I love this kid, he's a madman,
this guy.
MR. BLONDE
Do you have any idea what these
ladies make? They make shit.
MR. WHITE
Don't give me that. She don't
make enough money, she can quit.
Everybody laughs.
NICE GUY EDDIE
I don't even know a Jew who'd have
the balls to say that. So let's
get this straight. You never ever
tip?
MR. WHITE
I don't tip because society says I
gotta. I tip when somebody
deserves a tip. When somebody
really puts forth an effort, they
deserve a little something extra.
But this tipping automatically,
that shit's for the birds. As far
as I'm concerned, they're just
doin their job.
MR. BLUE
Our girl was nice.
MR. WHITE
Our girl was okay. She didn't do
anything special.
MR. BLONDE
What's something special, take ya
in the kitchen and suck your dick?
They all laugh.
NICE GUY EDDIE
I'd go over twelve percent for
that.
MR. WRITE
Look, I ordered coffee. Now we've
been here a long fuckin time, and
she's only filled my cup three
times. When I order coffee, I
want it filled six times.
MR. BLONDE
What if she's too busy?
MR. WHITE
The words "too busy" shouldn't be
in a waitress's vocabulary.
NICE GUY EDDIE
Excuse me, Mr. White, but the last
thing you need is another cup of
coffee.
They all laugh.
MR. WHITE
These ladies aren't starvin to
death. They make minimum wage.
When I worked for minimum wage, I
wasn't lucky enough to have a job
that society deemed tipworthy.
NICE GUY EDDIE
Ahh, now we're getting down to it.
It's not just that he's a cheap
bastard--
MR. ORANGE
--It is that too--
NICE GUY EDDIE
--It is that too. But it's also
he couldn't get a waiter job. You
talk like a pissed off dishwasher:
"Fuck those cunts and their
fucking tips."
MR. BLONDE
So you don't care that they're
counting on your tip to live?
Mr. White rubs two of his fingers together.
MR. WHITE
Do you know what this is? It's
the world's smallest violin,
playing just for the waitresses.
MR. BLONDE
You don't have any idea what
you're talking about. These
people bust their ass. This
is a hard job.
MR. WHITE
So's working at McDonald's, but
you don't feel the need to tip
them. They're servin ya food, you
should tip em. But no, society
says tip these guys over here, but
not those guys over there. That's
bullshit.
MR. ORANGE
They work harder than the kids at
McDonald's.
MR. WHITE
Oh yeah, I don't see them cleaning
fryers.
MR. BROWN
These people are taxed on the tips
they make. When you stiff 'em,
you cost them money.
MR. BLONDE
Waitressing is the number one
occupation for female non-college
graduates in this country. It's
the one jab basically any woman
can get, and make a living on.
The reason is because of tips.
MR. WHITE
Fuck all that.
They all laugh.
MR. WHITE
Hey, I'm very sorry that the
government taxes their tips.
That's fucked up. But that ain't
my fault. it would appear that
waitresses are just one of the
many groups the government fucks
in the ass on a regular basis.
You show me a paper says the
government shouldn't do that, I'll
sign it. Put it to a vote, I'll
vote for it. But what I won't do
is play ball. And this non-
college bullshit you're telling
me, I got two words for that:
"Learn to fuckin type." Cause if
you're expecting me to help out
with the rent, you're in for a big
fuckin surprise.
MR. ORANGE
He's convinced me. Give me my
dollar back.
Everybody laughs. Joe's comes back to the table.
JOE
Okay ramblers, let's get to
rambling. Wait a minute, who
didn't throw in?
MR. ORANGE
Mr. White.
JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
Mr. White?
(to Mr. White)
Why?
MR. ORANGE
He don't tip.
JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
He don't tip?
(to Mr. White)
You don't tip? Why?
MR. ORANGE
He don't believe in it.
JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
He don't believe in it?
(to Mr. White)
You don't believe in it?
MR. ORANGE
Nope.
JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
Shut up!
(to Mr. White)
Cough up the buck, ya cheap
bastard, I paid for your goddamn
breakfast.
MR. WHITE
Because you paid for the
breakfast, I'm gonna tip.
Normally I wouldn't.
JOE
Whatever. Just throw in your
dollar, and let's move.
(to Mr. Blonde)
See what I'm dealing with here.
Infants. I'm fuckin dealin with
infants.
The eight men get up to leave. Mr. White's waist is in
the F.G. As he buttons his coat, for a second we see he's
carrying a gun. They exit Uncle Bob's Pancake House,
talking amongst themselves.

why is it so hard to grasp the fact that the menu shows the prices of what you are paying for.I understand not wanting to reward bad service, but it's still service - and if you don't leave the waiter at least 8%, you're possibly putting him/her in a position where he/she has to pay out-of-pocket in order to serve you.
And that's buying a shitload of bad karma, imho.
If you don't like the level of service, leave 10-15%, and let the manager know... if he/she doesn't satisfy you - never go back.
Proper tipping's a reflection of one's level of class, I think.
Staying at home and cooking for and serving yourself is always an option.
the waiter is the person paid to be there, take your order and bring it to you.
tipping is not an obligation of the customer.
if i MUST tip the waiter just for being there or just for doing their job... why don't i also have the option of going to get my food myself? or placing the order myself? or grabbing a fucking menu and some water the second i walk in the goddamned door?
what the fuck is wrong with you people?????
TIPS are REWARDS for GOOD service.
tips aren't given to reward someone for just happening to be there and doing their job poorly.
fucking communists in this place.Comment

the other 8% you were shorted equals 128.00 divided by two is 64.00 - the other tip outs you need to accomplish equals about another whopping whole 30 bucks maybe.Comment

Realize I'm speaking from an "In America" perspective here... I realize other countries have other customs.
In America, it's customary to tip your waiter just as it's customary to give the cabbie an extra buck or 5... just like it's customary to give the skycap a buck a bag at the airport.
Like I've said, tipping's a matter of class - some got it, others don't.
I wouldn't necessarily expect those without to understand... especially if they're content in being ignorant, or take pride in being an asshole.
In the case of restaurants, it's so customary that it's actually designed into the way they conduct business. As I said in the post you quoted, if you don't tip at least 8%,it's possible you're putting the person serving you in the position of having to pay out of their own pocket for the honor of serving you. That's simple fact.
You do have an option to serve yourself or place an order yourself or whatever... stick to a counter-service restaurant if you must eat out (fast food, or what-have-you) or stay home and handle it yourself.Last edited by D; 11-14-2007, 12:10 PM.-D.
