I never stated my opinion on the topic at hand, (tipping) it's just that I saw a lot of very telling statements from people, on both sides of the issue.

You're really riled up about this huh?

In Canada they get min wage which is in BC $8/hr. So they get paid. I tip when good service, I tip some for ok service and none for bad service.

how would i be "riled up"... contrary to your own inflated view of yourself, you are just pixels on a monitor.

i also understand the difference between a big party and the demands of that big party vs two people having lunch and situations where it can be expected to add a service charge or gratuity to the bill.

In the US I tip no matter what because they paid jack and its a joke. I do make sure they know why they got "less" though. The real sad part is the cost of food in the US restaurants and the Canadian restaurants is barely anything, yet the US places pay $5 less per hour to each waiter/waitress on staff. So who really is the loser and winner?

i did the same for most euros for the same reason

While tipping is still an option that is based on service it is still a common courtesy imho to tip atleast 15% if you received good service.

My avg tip starts at 20% as i was in the biz along time and i know how hard the work is. Now with that being said you can work your way down in the tip very easily and i have been known to tip 25 even 30% for exceptional service

Oh, and you were a dumbass for assuming. You should have left the 20% on and called it a fucking day! Dumbass.

i was simply saying that i can understand adding the gratuity to the bill for large parties. thats all. i wasn't trying to define "large party".

do you tip your full time caregiver thats wiping the drool from your mouth while typing for you?

Listen up douchebag, I was quoting your statement just as an example, I wasn't debating your post. But based on your response, which I find highly ironic, I can assume that English is your 4th language and your first three are; Ebonics, Dumbfuck, and Pig Latin (not in that particular order). Get over yourself, dumbass and if you're going to call people out for being retarded try looking at what you type first or at least have your overweight girlfriend proof read it for ya.

Thanks champ, now put your helmet back on. Don't want to fall and hurt yourself.

my only guess is that you found the paragraph tough, challenging and somewhat difficult to comprehend.

my bad. its not your fault... and i shouldn't be making fun of you for trying so hard.

I'm through with you. Everytime I read one of your responses I lose a couple brain cells. Now fuck off, you're starting to bug me.

It's just that this idiot decided to take it off the bill, and didn't mention it to the customer, so the customer probably thought he was giving a reasonable extra tip on top of the 20%.

at chops which is fine dining ur doing a ton of table side work

its not just a matter of bringing u your food. wine needs to be opened and poured constantly. the dover soles and beef carving are very time consuming and a pain in the ass

i always hated having to do ceasers or dover soles table side. they take forever

not really. most fine dining places have front and back waiters bus help wine stewards ect ect. but what most dont consider is all these people take a % of the tip

so this allows for more table side service from the front waiter and keeps the service at a level one should expect from a finer dining est.
