Regarding restaurants
I always tip well, unless the service is absolutely horrible
I know how hard server's jobs are
I do, however,
give a much better tip if the waitress is good looking
this somewhat proves that better looking people make better money
how do others feel about leaving gratuities?

I don't care if the girl's a solid 10, if the service sucks, or she's not attentive or something is wrong with the food (ie. cold) then she's getting $2.00 tops.
-
I always give about 30%. I remmeber being poor, and when somebody tipped good, it made the whole day better.
however, there have been times when the server put her cig break or sitting with friends or texting above service. At times like that, they choose to put you last, and you can't leave a ton then.
-
Very dependant on country, in Holland we tip depending on service. In the UK they often include a 12,5% tip in the bill for groups of 4+ persons, in which case I don't tip extra, unless service was outstanding.
IMO a waiter's wages should be tip independant, a tip should be extra.

I agree, that's the whole definition of a 'TIP' or gratuity, it shouldn't be added automatically, that's bullshit.
I don't give a shit if it's an unwritten standard (15% or whatever) if the service sucked then no tip.
-
I try to understand how often the servers get punished by it just being a slow restaurant, busy day, etc.... but if I feel the service is really bad, I have no problem giving them an appropriate tip.
Like 240 said, it can really make a difference in that persons payday.

If you're a good waiter, you keep the customer up to date. Customers can sympathise with a waiter working his arse off, but you have to keep communicating with your customers. Goes for any branch really. Keep people informed, a lack of information quickly annoys just about everyone.

esp important if you frequent a place regularly...and they know you....don't want 'em to fuck with your food

one point to understand:
TIP='To Insure Promptness'
that's what it stands for
so, if not prompt, maybe less of a tip
-
being a good tipper is a must to be considered a good person, imho
if you're a shitty person then you (again, imho) are a shitty person

Go to the smorgasbord then you whining bitches.

http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=304965.0
btw, and i hate to do the whole "ask the gay guy question about gay people" thing but, in relation to this thread, do gay diners catch on to when a straight male server is trying to subtly flirt with diners to get a better tip.
For example, when i used to wait tables and i knew the table was filled with gay guys, i would purposely flip a extra button off of my shirt or walk away in a way that i would make my ass more appealing
-
20% (which is often 40.00 or so.) I give a higher percentage if I'm eating at a casual place,

You, my friend, are a dangerous person.

First of all anyone that does not tip even if they feel they got poor service is a fucking loser that should be eating at a fast food restaurants. Even if the service is poor you should at least leave 10%, don't forget that food was ordered for you, cooked for you, served to you at your table and cleaned up after you left, that is what the tip is for!!!
Secondly, my standard tip is 20%, however it can go up considerably if I get really good service. I have tipped as high as 50%, and it never hurts if its a hot (female) server that flirts with me.

At my table that would get you laughed at, but it would not get you a nice tip. Your strategy presumes that the gay guys at a given table find you attractive. Unless you have a reason to think this is the case, you are treading on thin ice. Flirtations from someone you find attractive are usually welcome, but overtures from a random guy—especially in a venue ill suited to flirting, such as a restaurant—are not.
The gay guys you are flirting with may be a coupled or partnered and your flirtations could easily be seen as annoying to one or all of them.
If you want to flirt with gay guys, go to a gay bar or some other gay venue. I can’t speak for all gay people, but when I go to a restaurant I’m there to eat not get flirtations from a waiter. If you want a nice tip, keep your shirt buttoned, stop showing off your ass, and provide superior service.

Considering the last ten years, you'd save more money if you tipped when the yankees won a title.

"A waiter goes up to a table full of old Jewish women and asks, 'Is ANYTHING okay?'"

Ha,both of us would only leave 2 tips!
-

Haha! ;D
Enjoy timeout.
-
With regard to the thread topic, it always a good idea to overtip in places you regularly patronize. Doing so usually results in better service.
Cheap people are always looking for a excuse to not tip, "The waiter's tie was crooked!"
-
I waited table while going to school, so I totally understand. Assuming that good service, here is how I tip:
Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner - 20% and more for exceptional service
Take out - 10%
Bar - $1/drink, 50 cents/beer
Luggage - $1-$2/bag
Hotel - $2-$5/night
-

i do the opposite, the uglies get a better tip

My #1 way for my server to ensure a good tip is to keep my glass full. I don't give a fuck about much else, but I HATE eating with an empty glass.

with all due respect Bay, but how is it that you are so uptight.
Gay guys ARE guys.
Guys (gay or straight) love to flirt with attractive waitstaff
you and your friends (in my experience) are the exception rather than the rule

lol your saying paying for your food is not enough? That is like saying when you go to a clothing store you should tip the people working at the store, because after all when you try on clothes, they have to re fold them, they have to stock the hangers etc etc, right, so they need a tip right right????! god fuckin disgusting.

If you dont tip you re a bad person ::) bunch of heroes thinking they have moral if they tip.
I used to tip in the past, but not 50 bucks like the getbig-millionaires in this thread posting ::)
I remember that reservoir dog scene where the guy wont tip. Why tip these guys and dont tip mcdonalds-workers, they work harder for less cash than the restaurant waitress. fuck that shit, if you need a better self-esteem by tipping someone go and donate your cash like a foster-parent, then you can open your fucking mouth idiots. (yes i had a bad day) :)

exactly, not sure when tipping became mandatory for service. If your restaurant requires a tip, it should have a sign up when you walk in, else wise shut the fuck up and do your job. If you don't like the lousy pay, then go work somewhere else like walmart that will pay more an /hr then the waiting job pr /hr.

One of my friends used to be a server at Earl's when he was younger, and he told me that over there (and at most restaurants) servers have to tip 5% of their total billings to the kitchen staff no matter what. In other words, if a bill is $100, they must give $5 to the kitchen staff whether the customer tipped them $20, $10, or nothing, so if he got a 5% tip he would get nothing, and if he got a zero tip he would actually lose money.
He complained that the worst was large crowds, where the bill might be, say $400, and they tip $20 thinking "$20 is a decent tip" without realizing it's only 5%, and then he'd have to pay that 5% / $20 to the kitchen staff and in the end he spent a lot of time and effort serving a large table and got zero tips whereas he could have got much more if he spent that time serving several smaller tables.
...and he said backgrounds that have the worst rep for tipping are Asian...and East Indian second lol.

I would say get a different job, I hate to hear servers complain out their ass about tipping, complain to the fucking restaurant who is responsible for paying you, not the customers.
-
when a waiter or waitress is DAMN GOOD at their job, they get paid.
When they half-ass it, whine, complain, and act too busy to do their job, they can't cry about the tips.
Personally, it seems like waiters were stronger 20 years ago. Way too many distractions these days maybe?
-

They didn't have cell phones, twitter, facebook 20 years ago...well cell phones existed but no waiter could afford one..
-
I tip more for professional anonymous service. I don't care about your flare or your personality or what you think about the book Im reading or the conversations I'm having. Be precise, prompt, get my order right and then leave me be.
I also tip more if the waiter is sensitive to my being a vegatarian. For example, if I start off by ordering the veggie appetizer and you ask me if I'm a vegetarian or tell me about dishes to watch out for that might have meat or fish in the sauce. That will get you nice tip. If I've expressed that Im vegetarian and you 'fuck up' and bring me the dish with meat because the cook messed up or some shit you might as well go on to the next customer.
Also, when you gave me my CC receipt and glanced at it to learn my name and say thanks 'first name' for coming...not gonna get a good tip. If use my last name you will...sort of like being cold called by salespeople you don't know who use your first name because they think they're being your buddy... >:( I come from the south where you use a persons first name after they invite you too.
Also, I cant stand guys like my brother who start schmoozing the waitress with "darling" and "honey" like he just walked in and made her day...she had to wait on you fool you're at her table! She doesn't want to fuck you or flirt with you but now she has to as you've put the tip amount on her "playing along" with your shit..ugh it pisses me off.
man I hate humans today...
-
if im sober i tip 20% of the bill.... now if im drunk i tip 60% of the tab.. i always wake up pissed the next day when i tip when i drink
-

Yeah, imagine that, someone complaining about their job. I'm sure you've never done that before ::)
-
As someone who used to wait tables in college, the standard is minimum 15-18% and more if you get good service. Obviously this takes into the account that you got decent service and weren't completely ignored etc. by the waiter.
However if you got any sort of decent service you should at minimum tip 15%.
Most waiters have to share their tips with the bussers/hosts/cashiers etc (usually 3-5% of sales), so if you stiff them on a tip, basically serving you costed them money as they still have to tip out this 3-5%.
You shouldn't consider a tip as "extra". If you can't afford 15% you pretty much shouldn't be eating out. You should factor a tip into the cost of eating out.
-
Just to piss them off i will leave a 20cent tip.
-
As of recent I've started tipping 20%...I will never tip over $100.00 that's my cap.
-
I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.
-
This whole thing is pathetic. You shouldn't consider tip "extra"? What the hell does that mean "Azn muscle"? You tip when they deserve it and that is it. You are saying that you're obligated to pay extra regardless? How fucking STUPID is that? If they're polite, smile, give good service and so on you tip.
I think there is a misunderstanding here about how waiters are paid in america. They rely on getting tips here as they only get paid on the order of $2-3/hr by the restaurant.
-

Exactly.
-
They are only paid $2-3/hr? I imagine they'd get paid 20$/hr on average here in Norway. In that case, I would certainly be a generous tipper in the US.
Yup, its very low. I'm sure after factoring in tips they make about the same as european waiters.
-
Yes in many states in the US waiters are paid "waiters wage" which is BELOW minimum wage (ie $2-3/hr) and the rest of their pay is made up from tips. In other states it is min wage plus tips.
The majority of a waiters income come from tips. Tipping though theoretically "optional" is understood considered "socially mandatory" if u get decent service.
Same with why gratuities exists for large parties. It's to prevent the waiter from getting dicked out by cheapasses. Say you have some large party that occupies your whole section for your whole evening and the bill is $1000. A gratuity prevents the waiter from getting screwed becuz at min he will have to give $30-50 away based on his sales to bussers/hosts etc. So if you are a dick and leave only $20 instead of the gratuity, u actually cost the waiter money to wait on you.
-
Regarding restaurants
I always tip well, unless the service is absolutely horrible
I know how hard server's jobs are
I do, however,
give a much better tip if the waitress is good looking
this somewhat proves that better looking people make better money
how do others feel about leaving gratuities?
The only tip you provided all those boys you "helped" with their bodybuilding careers was the tip of your penis, moosejay.

if you want it that way, like I said there should be a sign out front telling customers tipping 15% is mandatory, or else do not complain, because a tip is optional. You are lucky most people pay their bill and don't dine and ditch.

or just don't apply for that job ever think of that??? So many suckers who think they will live on tips, when not all people believe in tipping these ridiculous amounts, paying for your damn food is enough FUCK!
-
Actually it has been my experience that most people have no problem tipping these amounts. It seems to
me you are part of the cheap douche minority.
-
i always tip. Unless the person is a girl/douche. I tip more at places i plan on eating again at. You guys that don't must like the special sauce. :-X
Anyway, i know a few chicks that were/are waitresses, they say that they hate waiting on Mexicans, from the country not mexican-americans, becuase they don't tip and some are very rude. culture thing?

it's unbelievable that you guys HAVE TO tip
in germany you can but you don't have to

lower class man.

lower class man.

lower class man.
Yes I agree that restaurant manager was a real low class fucker
-
I will usually figure 20% for good service, up to 30% if it was great service, the food was excellent and the dinning experience memorable.
Very poor experience and crappy service will get them 10% or less and rude, ignorant, not caring service yields them 0. That has only happened a few times.
-
What about spitting on money?
-
not exactly a royal
yes, i agree spiting on the money is very low class.
-
I tip well, depending on service.
Some people are just retarded when it comes to tipping. My Ex GF would make me leave 10-12 dollars on a 25 dollar bill at the diner, and break my balls if i didn't...saying "this is how they make their money".
So I would say "hell why don't i just leave her $100 dollars and she can go home for the day?... what the fuck." She was ridiculous.

-
it's unbelievable that you guys HAVE TO tip
in germany you can but you don't have to
we don't have to, just a bunch of stuck up pansies getting their panties in a bunch here about how much they need to tip to feel special.
again tipping is optional except if the place has it mandated, in that case they lose my business. The food is marked up enough, you should see the profits they make on the food they sell you, maybe instead of pocketing all the money they make from food sales like jews they should share some profits with the waitstaff and kitchen people and tips wouldn't be such a big deal.

Tipping is for whores only, otherwise fuck it

10-12% for substandard service (no refills, no suggestions, grumpy or getting order wrong and refusing to take responsibility)
More or less the percentages I use for tipping.
The exception is that there are occasions where substandard service should receive 0% tip. Poor service should not be rewarded. That waiter/waitress/salesperson needs to know they have to work on their service skills or consider another profession.

I tip based upon a bodybuilding trivia system.
I give them 10% of the bill for every Mr. Olympia champion they can name.
For most, it's Arnold they can name. And they get 10%. it's their own fault for not paying attention to current events.

Don't ever eat at the Firehouse in Venice. Most of the employees not only can name all of them, but they might even offer to name the Pro Master's World Champion for extra credit.

Only on GetBig.. typical tip range between 20-60% ;D
I'm sick and tired if hearing waitresses make $100k at popular restaurants / bars. Job that requires absolutely no education and hard work only during busy hours doesn't deserve money like that. Anyways, I tip around 15% after tax (so more than that before tax) and haven't seen anyone not like me even at my regular hang outs so I don't care - not there to impress anyone with huge tips!

The only thing i don't enjoy about the states is the constant tipping of everyone for eveything. Tip the cab driver, tip the guy who takes your luggage out the car, tip the guy who shows you to your room.........shit just never seems to end.

Yeah, you have to give the pilot a decent tip or he will crash the plane.
