So here's the deal. I have decided that from 2007, I will not tip anyone for anything. Darn it, it's your employer's responsibility to pay you, not mine. Why should I tip people? They should be happy cuz you they have a job because of clients like me. They should be the ones grateful to me not the other way around. And if they don't make enough money, why is that my fault? That's between them and their boss. I am sick of these people that have this entitlement complex that think you owe them a living. Why should I get poorer because some guy wants a handout?

I usually kick the waiter in the nuts when I leave a restaurant.

You know, I'm a good tipper. I usually leave at least 20%. Average is probably 25%. Thing is, I'm getting sick and tired of receiving sub-par service, everywhere I go.
So the other day, I just gave this bitch a buck. If that doesn't give her a hint, then there is no hope for her.

Agreed. Unless I get good service next time I'm out, I'm leaving a dollar as well. Getbig.com...changing the world one post at time. :D

Honestly, I have no problem tipping.
But enough is enough. Service has gone to shit. I swear, nobody greets you anymore, nobody refills your drink, can't get your shit right.......fuck.
Also, when I go out to eat, I ask for extra beef, chicken, etc., and they look at me like I'm nuts or like it's hard work for them. Then, they tell me, "you know, I have to charge you extra." No shit, I figured that. Just add it to the check dumbass. ::) Let me see if I have enough food stamps.... ::)
All I'm saying is, earn your fuckign tips. I don't care for extra attention, just good service, which is in your job description. I'm VERY easy to please.

I tip if I like the service from the waiter and if he doesn't stare at my wife's boobs.

You know, I have a buddy who just leaves a penny, when he gets bad service. Technically he tips....... :-\

Nothing wrong with checking out the boobs. Take it as a compliment. Face it, if your woman was a pig, nobody would be checking her out.

gordiano - would you consider tipping to be a sport?
professional sports athletes like Phil Heath

i know bro...i dont take offence at people checking out my wife, I just think that when serving someone in a nice restaurant the waiter should be well mannered, not a perv...:)
sometimes they spend so much energy tryin to impress your woman w/ jokes or some shit that they forget to bring you the right meal...just the other day the mofo was so busy making good impression on my sister-in-law that he brought me a crab maki instead of a tuna one...

The problem is that if there was no tipping in restaraunts there would be no restaraunts because no one would want to work the front of the house at one. Beleive me, if you think the service is bad where you go, just imagine if the waiter were just working for minimum wage. Then what?

Tips actually means To Insure Proper Service. It was only done by business men to insure they would get a good table and service next time they brought clients to that restaurant. Now it is a joke. Restaurant owners are the riches fuccks around, and we have to pay their employees. They don't even give their employees health insurance. The biggest rip off around.
I can see if its a small mom and pop start up. But if its a big place forget it, don't tip and tell the owner/company to start paying their employees.

Hahaha...thats why they are the richest fuks around, lol :)
300% profit on a meal and lowest payrates to employees - thats how one makes fat cash! ;D
-
I uasually tip 20% if the service is good - if bad no tip or a 1 penny tip....
For massages I tip $ 10 or $ 20 for a $ 80 massage (not a rub and tug)...

I have also walked out of resturants when waiting to long for service - even after ordering a meal, I don't have time for bullshit 8)

if there was no tipping the waiters would either demand a higher hourly wage or would quit. if the owner gave them the higher hourly wage the owners would just add that cost into your meal and raise the prices. tipping is too engrained in america's society to change.
and you can always not tip, but the service will be even worse the next time if you go to a place on a regular basis. and i'm never inclined to piss people off that are handling my food out of my eyesight.
-
any restaurant grossing over a certain amount per year, say a million, should be required by law to pay their employees.
Enough said.
-
well, there is a minimum wage, so they are paying them. but when we start raising the required wage we get into socialism and start messing with the free market, and thats a slippery slope. and nyc im sure you know a few things about slippery slopes

You just contradicted yourself with that last statement. The big restaraunt corporations are the ones making millions. The small single person owned restaraunts take years to make any money and almost half the time they end up selling within 3 years of opening. So your statement "restaraunt owners are the richest fucks around" is totally untrue. I have been working in the restaraunt and bar business for 12 years and I can assure you that the owners making tons of money are few and far between. I'ts a tough business believe me.
-

I find that people who do not tip well are not very good at attracting money into their lives either. It's like the law of attraction at work.

Yeah, good luck. I like when someone insists on charging another $1 per egg, like their made of gold. I was in a pizza place the other day and asked for grilled chicken, she said they didn't have it. After browsing the menu, I saw a pasta dish with "grilled chicken". So I said, you have it right here. She said, "No, you only get that with the chicken alfredo."
Brilliant!

Not just that. But some places, waiters/waitresses are TAXED hourly for "tips" that they may not get. So not tipping is not cool.
Like I said, I have NO problem tipping. Just EARN the fucking money.

First of all, if you are going to a restaraunt that serves chicken alfredo as an entree, you are going to a shitty restaraunt like the Olive Garden or some other shit Italian chain and you should expect an idiot for a server. Stop supporting those kinds of places. Second of all, if you cant afford 1 dollar for an extra egg than you shoul just make your goddamn eggs at home. At least that way you can buy better quality eggs.

for waitresses: 'here's a tip, become a stripper'

Yes.
Total bs. Fuck, I don't care how much it costs, just get it. I can fucking afford it.......geez...... ::)
Fuck, sometimes I'll even tell them, if you HAVE to charge me for 2 dishes, then so be it. I just want extra (insert item ). >:(
-
i know a guy who pretty much calculates how much the bill will be beforehand and lays out the corresponding tip, in one dollar bills, on the counter. then he explains to the server "this is your tip right now, but it may not stay that way" and he takes away a dollar for every misstep the server makes. pretty funny. i've seen him do it once and the tip ended up being the same.

How can you guys not tip? Thats how they make a living. I just got Outback carryout and the bill was 18 and I gave the young lady 25 total and all she did was bring it to my car. You can't take money with you, and I am assuming most of you guys make "easy" money cuz you can post on here while you work, so why not help out the people with the shitty jobs that no one else wants? What you guys should be complaining about is welfare cases. I can't stand people who want money for nothing >:(

Very true.

Anyone who can't understand that the act of "tipping" benefits the servee more than the server should go to a nice restaraunt in a country that doesn't practice it.

I will tip, but I'm not giving jackshit to some bitch/asshole that gives me a nasty attitude and overall bad service. Just the other day, this mexican made me a nice sandwich at Subway so I tipped him 2 dollars. If resteraunt service is good then I always tip atleast $10-20.

I think the restaurants and bars around me are different. I go to low price places and high price places, and the wait staff is almost always nice and the chicks good looking no matter where I go. Plus there is something nice about going to the same bar a few times a week and never having an empty glass and getting espn turned on at "our tv" cuz the waitress knows that between the 3 or 4 of us she is going to get at least 70 bucks that night. But, I have heard that people in NY are very rude, so I have no idea how I would treat such people.

If we didn't tip, mexicans would have even more jobs to flood our country for, so tipping is good trust me. I was raised to be a good tipper, and that aint ever gonna change.

I just got home tonight and came into this thread...i walked with $500 in a bar where beers are $4-7 and your average meal is $9.95...i know i'm a damn good server!!!!

I totally agree, until you have had people bitch because they wanted their water room temperature, and complained there is too much pepper or soemething in a sauce on their dish, or demand their meal be free because they made up some stupid reason to be mad and are just taking advantage of the system, you will never understand. I worked as a server for a couple weeks, not for me.

I love being a server...made the mistake of getting into it at 18 and now at 41, i'm still doing it...it is absolutely the easiest money to be made. I'm fortunate now that i work somewhere that i do NOT have to put up with jackasses and if i want to make a comment about the money they left (or did not leave) i can...best part is i know it wasn't me, some people just do not have any restaurant etiquette.

Your guy sounds like a weirdo, sounds very easy going and fun to be with. I dont serve food but if any asshole explained to me about the money laid out on the table in that manner I would take the money from him and then tell the fool to get the f*ck out.

I have found that 20% is good if I have the cash on me. The more I give, the more I seem to make. If I act cheap and selfish, than I have found that I make less money, and less opportunity comes my way. I'm very happy to tip, and tip well just to perhaps make someone else's day.

These are known as the laws of Karma or "what goes around, comes around"
-
Well, how about the restaurants that "ADD" 20% gratuity right to your bill. You have no say about what you want to leave and the service could be great or it could completely suck. Now that...pisses me off! >:( A tip is something EARNED, not something that should just be EXPECTED and paid regardless of quality of service.

So here's the deal. I have decided that from 2007, I will not tip anyone for anything. Darn it, it's your employer's responsibility to pay you, not mine. Why should I tip people? They should be happy cuz you they have a job because of clients like me. They should be the ones grateful to me not the other way around. And if they don't make enough money, why is that my fault? That's between them and their boss. I am sick of these people that have this entitlement complex that think you owe them a living. Why should I get poorer because some ass wants a handout?
You ignorant, dumbfvck, cheapskates!!!
Has all "dem ILLEGAL 'roids and rec.drugs" you BB drug freaks shoot-up on, constantly, destroyed your brain cells...seems like it has!??
If you've ever worked as a waiter, or in a similar position, then you would probably have more than the "double-digit IQ" IGNORANT level of knowledge to realize that these people are usually paid ONLY the minimum wage (or very close to it!) and rely HEAVILY on tips to literally "survive". Duhhh...try making a living on JUST the minimum wage, dumbfvck!
Many hard-working, law-abiding, honest, waiters are often students struggling to get through school while working part-time, and some also have families to support. Anyway, practically all of these individuals usually desperately NEED the added tip-income to supplement the minimum hourly wage paid by their greedy, stingy, employers!
However, I guess all of these individuals working in positions which rely heavily on tipping to "survive" could turn to illegal drug-dealing and getting/trading blow-jobs from/with fags to make a living, instead...like all of you competitve BB "superstars/wannabes"!?
-
All guys that are waiters, have you seen how the owners of your establishments live? The restaurantors that I know are rich, live in expensive Manhattan apartments or big Conneticut mansions. They act all middle class in front of their staff but believe me they are loaded. Have you ever asked them for health insurance, or how about a decent salary? The public shouldn't be paying your salary your employer should. Believe me he can afford it.
TIPS means To Insure Proper Service. It has nothing to do with paying waiters salaries. It was only done by wealthy regular customers that planned on returning and wanted a good table and good service to impress friends, clients etc.

You see that guys? A US citizen is not EVEN getting minimum wage? And you guys think it is wrong to tip..it's laughable ::)
That's exactly why this planet is going to shit, grownup people afraid to share the millions ::) they make every month... sharing that's a nice work, pin it on your fridge when you've got some time ;)

Some years ago i had moved to Illinois and worked for a place called Cheddars...i think i made $2.35 an hour and struggled to get at least 12% per table...it was awful although the people were the nicest!!!!

It's not like I wasn't making more than minimum wage...I would work for four or five hours at a time and easily make a hundred dollars...

People who work in bars always say things like that.
I'm sure that "over $500" was really about $200, and if you made $200 every friday and saturday night, every single weekend during the year, no vacation, no holidays, no sick days....you would end up with a little over $20,000 a year.
Anyone who has ambition to hussle money at the bar should start their own business. I've been my own boss since I was 20.

i know a guy who pretty much calculates how much the bill will be beforehand and lays out the corresponding tip, in one dollar bills, on the counter. then he explains to the server "this is your tip right now, but it may not stay that way" and he takes away a dollar for every misstep the server makes. pretty funny. i've seen him do it once and the tip ended up being the same.
your friend thinks he cool but he doesn't realize that these servers are getting the last laugh by spitting in his drinks and drying their armpit sweat with the bread of his sandwich
don't fuck with or disrespect anybody that has access to your food in any way
if you don't tip I wouldn't go back to that restaurant because they will remember you and tell their friends ;)

People who work in bars always say things like that.
I'm sure that "over $500" was really about $200, and if you made $200 every friday and saturday night, every single weekend during the year, no vacation, no holidays, no sick days....you would end up with a little over $20,000 a year.

You know what's interesting about your statement? I actually came home with $600 but that to me didn't sound believable to tell all you smart GetBig folks so i knocked it down to $500. I make $200 on the two weeknights that i work. I don't have to lie about how much i make because i think it goes to show that i am good at what i do...plus where i work is in both my husbands and my hometown so i have many many regulars.
As for starting my own buisness...my husband and i were going to buy the bar i'm at now but thank goodness they didn't except our offer...all i have to do is go to work, make money and leave...WITH NO HEADACHE :-*

Yep $600 and 2 packs worth of second hand smoke. What a nasty place to have to be >:(

I think the restaurants and bars around me are different. I go to low price places and high price places, and the wait staff is almost always nice and the chicks good looking no matter where I go. Plus there is something nice about going to the same bar a few times a week and never having an empty glass and getting espn turned on at "our tv" cuz the waitress knows that between the 3 or 4 of us she is going to get at least 70 bucks that night. But, I have heard that people in NY are very rude, so I have no idea how I would treat such people.
Yeah, people here are really rude. If people at dining/food establishments are rude to you, then I suggest you bust out the racial insults, that always gets them. ;D

Smoking is not allowed in bars/restaurants in California...we do have an outdoor patio where people can smoke if they choose...so to me it's NOT "$600 and 2 packs worth of second hand smoke" ::)

Dishwashers do harder work and get paid shitty, and get no tips.
-
Hahaha...thats why they are the richest fuks around, lol :)
300% profit on a meal and lowest payrates to employees - thats how one makes fat cash! ;D
Actually restaurant owners are the poorest of all business owners. The typical profit on a meal is roughly 5% when you factor in hydro, wages(both front and back),gas,food. Of the 50 best ways to make money restaurants are not even on the list. Most restaurnat owners own other businesses.

You are exactly right. Cooking is the worst...most of the time minimum wage. At our place we tip the cook 5% and the dishwasher is also the busboy and they get 15%.

Especially if they do not own the property.

depends what restaurant....few restaurant owners I'm aquabted with are very well off. Ofcoruse, they own upmarket places (upmarket italian cafe, top sushi/seafood rest., and continental cafe). Guess if you run a shitty diner in a suborb you might be earning 5%, I agree.

To all the "hard" guys who think a few dollar tip is going to hurt their income ::) think of this, most people working in a bar are either students or mothers working hard for... wait for it... MINIMUM WAGE !!!! Most of these hard working people who serve YOU need a little extra on their god damn MINIMUM WAGE because what you guys get in the USofA on MINIMUM WAGE is ... wait for it.... SWEET f**k ALL!!!
I would love to know how many of you NON Tippers are actually rich spoiled Colleague boys playing with daddy's money ::) yea I know most of you going to spoil us now with stories how you "made" it and that you have been born poor and did not stay poor = 500 pounds bench.
