I think it should be known that TaDoW has never held a server position, nor would he...so he says.

if they're my friend i tip a MINIMUM of 20%

I always tip my friends more.. why?..cause i love them and want them to be happy.
hate to have them glaring at me for taking up their time when someone else they could have waited on instead of you, would have given them a tip..:2 cents:

EDDIE
All right. Everybody cough up some green for the little lady.

Come on. Throw in a buck.

MR. PINK
Uh-uh. I don't tip.

EDDIE
You don't tip?

MR. PINK
No - I don't believe in it.

EDDIE
You don't believe in tipping?

MR. BLUE
You know what these chicks make? They make shit.

MR. PINK
Don't give me that. She don't make enough money, she can quit.

(Mr. Blonde laughs.)
EDDIE
I don't even know a fucking Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me just get this straight. You don't ever tip, huh?

MR. PINK
I don't tip because society says I have to. Alright, I mean I'll tip if somebody really deserves a tip, if they really put forth the effort, I'll give 'em something extra, but I mean this tipping automatically is for the birds.

(Eddie laughs.)
I mean as far as I'm concerned they're just doing their job.

MR. BLUE
Hey, this girl was nice.

MR. PINK
She was OK - but she wasn't anything special.

MR. BLUE
What's special, take you in the back and suck your dick?

(They laugh.)
EDDIE
I'd go over 12% for that.

MR. PINK
Hey Look, I ordered coffee, right? 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
Six times? Well, you know, what if she's too fucking busy?

MR. PINK
Words "too fucking busy" shouldn't be in a waitress' vocabulary.

EDDIE
Excuse me, Mr. Pink - the last fucking thing you need's another cup of coffee.

MR. PINK
Jesus Christ - I mean these ladies aren't starving to death. They make minimum wage. You know, I used to work minimum wage. And when I did, I wasn't lucky enough to have a job society deemed tip-worthy.

MR. BLUE
You don't care they're counting on your tips to live?

(Mr. Pink rubs two of his fingers together.)
MR. PINK
You know what this is? It's the world's smallest violin playing just for the waitresses.

MR. WHITE
You don't have any idea what you're talking about. These people bust their ass. This is a hard job.

MR. PINK
So's working at McDonald's, but you don't feel the need to tip them, do you? Why not? They're servin ya food. But no, society says don't tip these guys over here, but tip these guys over here. That's bullshit.

MR. WHITE
Waitressing is the number one occupation for female noncollege graduates in this country. It's the one job basically any woman can get and make a living on. The reason is because of their tips.

MR. PINK
(pauses) Fuck all that.

(They all laugh.)
MR. BROWN
Jesus Christ!

MR. PINK
Hey, I'm very sorry that the government taxes their tips. That's fucked up. 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 giving 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
Hey - he's convinced me. Give me my dollar back.

EDDIE
Hey! Leave the dollars there.

JOE
All right, ramblers, let's get ramblin'. Wait a minute. Who didn't throw in?

MR. ORANGE
Mr. Pink.

JOE
Mr. Pink? Why not?

MR. ORANGE
He don't tip.

JOE
He don't tip? What do you mean you don't tip?

MR. ORANGE
He don't believe in it.

JOE
Shut up. What do you mean you don't believe in it? Come on, you, cough up a buck, you cheap bastard. I paid for your goddamn breakfast.

MR. PINK
Alright - since you paid for the breakfast, I'll put in, but normally I would never do this.

u tip everyone and anyone no matter what. if u r a cheap fuck and cant spare change for a few students who work fulltime or people who are at least working and not on the system then u need to b slapped with a large weight.

it doesnt matter if they are friend or stranger, they are providing a serviceand basically get their wage from tips. my g/f is a waitress and some butch fucks have the nerve to leave crap or nothing after perfect service.

i would purposly take a crap in there sphagetti if they never tipped me and have the nerve to return.

AMEN sista!! Odie is the WOMAN!! Best bartender on the planet, and makes a mean drink too!! Fabulous times at the Rosewater!!:thumbsup

dude, relax. we understand you were in the business.

Tip them, friends I would tip even more!

Don't go cheap just because it's your friends.

well, since you won't see reason, just take our advice and tip or don't expect to keep your restaurant friends.:Graucho

fair enuf - I'll drink to that! :glugglug

50 more "tip or not tip" tips

50 cheap fuckers ;)

HAH! YOU FUCKING MISSED IT! JERK!

im always relaxed

:Graucho

just pointing out the obvious

:thumbsup

friends get at least 50%

Tim, you crack me up you goofy bastard.

I'm gonna come over there and squat on your face =)

is this what you meant to say?
"you are such a loser Errol, you can't even do the 50 fucking posts right! god you are such a stupid fucking Idiot, I hate you!"

actually in high end restaurants, the management is on a sales structure where if the restaurants sales exceed the previous years sales, they are tipped out as well but only if this is worked in to their contract...

servers and bartenders are usually paid $5.95 Can /hour, which is peanuts after taxes....which is why we live off our tips and depend on them as income...we also have to report our tips and pay taxes on those as well...

we pay 4.5% of our sales regardless of what we make in tips...waiters usually tip out anywhere from 4.5 to 9% and part of this goes to the kitchen, dishwashers, bussers, foodrunners, and barbacks...not to mention what I tip out extra to my barback...

It all depends on who u are working for and how greedy they are ..:2 cents:

It was pretty close - but it doesn't mean I don't love you.

:winkwink:

Was a bartender as well in college, I usually tip over and above, most former servers and bartenders all take care of each other and tip really well since we can relate to ll the BS you haveto put up with.

Any bar I go to, anywhere it would be...


If I end up having a great time and get very hammered, I always bring the bartender aside and say "write your tip here" on my credit card statement.

Some put a lot, some put next to nothing, either way its all good :-)


Combination of being happy and hammered....



:2 cents:

FF

christ, that could be the best solution ever!

Tipping is the one thing I probably overspend on, unless my experience was just bad... But you find out in most instances, especially with friends, you get what you give. If you consistently leave nice tips, they're either going to throw in a couple free drinks on the bill, or they're going to treat you with some pretty good service.

I've never regretted leaving a fat tip.

This is a great plan for those occasions. :thumbsup

I bartended and waited tables in college, as did many of my friends. We tipped each other just like we would any other bartender that was doing exactly as Odie described

Anything else is cheap and tasteless.

Tipping is bullshit.

It's not my job to pay the employees, it's the employers responsibility.

Fuck that shit.

My rules for tipping don't change no matter if the server is a friend, family member of complete stranger...

If I like the place enough to go back on a regular basis I tip BIG, sometimes 25% or 30%. Soon they know me and I get the most awesome service and food bennies even when everyone else is getting crap service. In smaller places I've had owners bring out new dishes for me to try for no charge. Once the owner of a Thai resturant brought me some of what THEY were having for dinner and it wasn't even on the menu.

This is all I have to say.

FF

most of my friends give me free services so i tip. but i try to always tip friends very well. hot girls very well. i dont think iv ever not left a tip for someone. if i get shitty service ill just start being a cock to the servers.
