Title: Jean-Claude Van Damme - only $40 tip
Post by: hench on February 06, 2011, 12:02:53 PM
His name is dirt at the moment, only tipped 40 dollars on his bill in a hollywood restaurant. :'(

It's so bad they even tried to contact him and staff for an explanation lmao

The purchase is covered so we can't see what he bought, could have been one bottle of wine and the waiters are crying.

The waiter could have provided horrible service, thus forcing Jean Claude's hand in providing a pathetic tip.

The way I see it, every waiter starts off with a projected 20% tip. Depending on whether or not his service remains exceptional, I will either keep the estimated tip at 20% or reduce accordingly to a fitting amount.

While I know that a waiter practically lives off of his tips, for a restaurant to try and contact Van Damme regarding the lack of a sufficient tip is downright insane.  There is no legal obligation to the amount of tip one must leave.  It's a damn tip for crying out loud..

They include 15% right off the bat, whether the service was good or not - he gave $40 more, and they call him cheap?   Screw the restaurant who complains on this. Jeez.

I went to dinner with a friends family when i was in high school.

His grandfather was taking everyone out for my buddies graduation.

Well, it was a pretty nice restaurant and what this old man did was. He put 5 $20 bills on the table. He told the waitress. "Right now this is your tip, now everytime my drink isnt full, u dont clear the table when your supposed to, or u dont bring me a bottle of ketchup when i get my steak im gonna take away one of these 20's.."

Needless to say that nite I had some of the best service I ever had and that waitress walked out with a $100 tip for a five or six hundred dollar tab......Not too bad if u ask me.

 No sales tax. No tips.

 You go to a restaurant and order a ten dollar meal. You pay 10 dollars.

 How it should be. I go out to eat every day here.

 In the US I don't go out to eat as much, mainly because of the bullshit tipping policy. It's more of a social thing in the US. Here it's an everyday thing.

plus - the tab was included.  van damme went 40 bucks above that.  he probably ended up tipping 200 bucks on a 800 table, right?  that's 25%.... that resetautant should see a loss in high end clientelle, knowing that credit card info can go public like that.

What a bunch of morons. Someone comes into your restaurant and drops almost $1k and the receipt ends up on TMZ. That'll be the last $1k he drops there for sure. What a great way to ensure you get less business from the wealthiest people in the area.

As for the tip - isn't $40 a good tip? Let's say I eat $100 in food and $100 in wine - a $40 top would be OK, right? Now lets say I eat $100 in food and a single bottle of wine for $800 - what exactly has the waiter/waitress done to earn more money from me?

I say fuck 'em. The US system of tipping is retarded. It's pure socialism.

X2 I tip based on the work done not the amount paid. If all you did was bring a 900 dollar bottle to the table FUCK OFF.

And yes I'm one of those cheap fucks that don't tip to often. On average I pay my 15 but it usually depends on how drunk I am. I.E. at a bar I don't tip for my first 5 drinks, on my 6th I usally start giving alot more, and by the end of the night I'm asking for my cash back ;D

Fuck tipping, this is what's wrong with society. People are too afraid of seeming cheap. Which is sad since with our debt obsession, being cheap is one thing we are not in short supply of.

Here in the states alot of places pay their waitresses less then minimum wage counting on the employees making their money through tips....so I tip off the standard 15%,better service I'll tip a little more,bad service less tip,normal service standard tip.

Gratuity's are include at most better places. In SoCal, around 18 to 20% (in Europe it's always included). Even though, that $40 was rather uncool. A tip required  may also depend on the size of the party. Table servers have a tough time dealing with drunks, guys trying to impress their dates/friends, just plain snobs (just think of TA in a better eating establishment) other all around A-holes. You really have to love taking crap from all sorts of people, including the managers and some chiefs.

  Van Damme holds a special place in the hearts of all of us in our late twenties to early thirties. His movies marked our youths. To many of us, he is seen as a hero. Even his worst films, like "Legionnaire"(1997) are so much better than the action crap we get today. The golden age of Van Damme(1989-1995) marks the best era in action films ever. Arnold and Sly were good, but Van Damme was the man. I remember when I went to watch "Street Fighter: The Film" and Van Damme's performance as Guile saved the film. His battle with Bison was epic. He is the fucking man.

Because waiters really don't want that.

I think that if you're a decent waiter in a decent restaurant, you can make MUCH more money by tips then by salary. If you have a good night, you can make more in a night than in the whole week.

The waiter could have provided horrible service, thus forcing Jean Claude's hand in providing a pathetic tip.

The way I see it, every waiter starts off with a projected 20% tip. Depending on whether or not his service remains exceptional, I will either keep the estimated tip at 20% or reduce accordingly to a fitting amount.

While I know that a waiter practically lives off of his tips, for a restaurant to try and contact Van Damme regarding the lack of a sufficient tip is downright insane.  There is no legal obligation to the amount of tip one must leave.  It's a damn tip for crying out loud..

"1"


Agree completely... Start at 20%... goes down from there... occasionally for awesome service, ill tip a little bit more...

I worked in a restaurant on Nantucket. Mid summer the waitstaff were making an average of 800$ in tips a night.

How are tips taxable?

Makes you wonder why to work a "normal" job.
