Title: Tipping - How much do you tip?
Post by: hardgainerj on December 23, 2014, 05:58:26 PM

Im probably alone on this but if they're standard dont really keep my drinks full and dont seem to friendly then 10%  if they are friendly but service is standard i do 15%  If they are just fantastic i will do 20% but thats rare to find

another thing i dont understand is this lets say  order 2 burgers and it cost me 20 buck.. the waiter has to make the same amount of trips to and from the kitchen as if i say i order 2 steaks at 60 bucks.. so because i want to spend more on myself he is entitled to a  300% increase in tip for the same amount of work?

Lots of restaurants have their servers tip out the support staff (bartenders, food runners, busboys) based on % of sales.  So, if you hold to what you mentioned above based on what you perceive to be the same amount of work, the model breaks.

I never looked it up, but it's no different than commission based off sales in any field - sell more, make more.

I generally throw 20% down for decent service.

My only experience with receiving tips in my life was working at a full service gas station when I was 15.  It was in a very nice neighbourhood with many wealthy customers driving expensive cars.  Never expected to get a tip, but the few times every shift that I did, it was always from the drivers of the crappiest cars.

20% for me but no problem with 10% if service really blows.  Servers have a shit job and I cannot stand cheapskates who are overly tight and skimp on tipping for good service.

For the record I live in Maine which gets a boatload of Canadian tourists in the summer months.  It is widely known that the Canadians are the worst tippers in New England and often leave nothing.  99% of these tourists are white.  The tradition of tipping for service varies wildly globally.

Most people don't tip because they are pinching pennies and barely scraping by because all the money they will make for the rest of their lives is going towards paying off debt for things that they bought to make themselves appear rich.

Everybody's a high rolling big shot who is "in finance" until it comes time to tip, then they are scrambling for excuses to save $5

Makes no sense. Tipping is specifically for good service, no? Why leave even a cent for someone being deliberately shitty? I paid for my food - the extra is not guaranteed, you entitled bitch/dick. (Never done this at a bar, mind you. No tip, you ain't getting another.)

Honestly, I've stiffed probably less than five my whole life. I overtip even if they're merely decent. It's these lazy, purposefully absent, never check on you for anything fucks I won't reward. Nothing, prick, get the message.

Just some thoughts.

1. Outside of the US in many countries tipping doesn't take place. In the US they pay a crap hourly rate knowing tips will pay the servers.

2. A tip suppose to be in appreciation for good service not a mandatory payment.

3. I tip 20% usually. For bad service 15%. If any server expects more they can take a hike.

4. My two nieces are bar tenders in a very ordinary big beach bar and burger type place that gets packed during the summer. Wait for it. They make over a $1000 in tips a DAY in cash for working Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

5. Some of the beach bars by me the management takes all the tips in these big beach bars. All the bar tenders and waitresses have to hand over every penny of tips to the management. At the end of the night they go into their office then dish it out as they feel like it giving them self the lion share. So think about this when you tip your bar tender server. The manager  who did nothing is walking to his car with the cash.

I am not a big tipper. It keeps wages low for service workers. Tipping was brought to America in the 1800s when predominate wealthy elitists where able to travel abroad to Europe where these elitists observed the custom taking place by other local elitists. It was never an expected custom from the general public. Over the years it caught on as an action for those to show of like an elitist. Personaly I could give two shots for the tipping custom. I do tip on occasion when traveling. I tip the bell hops where I stay not much else.

If I order a $5 beer I leave a dollar for standard service. If my chick orders some martini mojito Fugazzi drink that requires extra prep I'll throw $2. Or just 20-25% if we rack up a tab, but that isn't often. That's more than fair IMO.

You're truly a giant piece of human shit.

People take jobs as waiters/bartenders etc. in anticipation of receiving tips; their base pay is usually minimum wage or somewhere in the area of minimum wage. It's not "encouraged" for you to tip.... its expected.

You are not making a difference by not tipping, you're just that guy that doesn't tip. Take all your elitist ( ::)) quasi intellectual verbal swill and shove it up your funky little ass.

Then again you likely consider Chipotle or Panera Bread to be "fine dining", in that case don't worry; they don't work for tips.

One of the best tables I ever waited on was a young black couple..the woman was a true dime.   I brought out their food and checked back a minute or so later and the guy asks me if I can wrap it for take out...he was stammering like an idiot. He pushed his chair back and I see his girl's stockinged foot rubbing his crotch.   She looks at me and licks her lips and winks.  He tipped me like 30% and I walked around trying to hide a hard on for 15 minutes

I'm more of a Qdoba fan myself.

Chipotle is good in my book, especially during the anabolic window (obviously).

Qdoba is good also. Queso sauce of peace.

Generous tipper. Not generously stupid, but generous. A little more generous if it's a good looking broad who is friendly and flirty.

I grabbed a quick lunch for myself Saturday at a casual joint that came $14 and change. I gave the server a $20 and told her to keep it.

I took a lady friend to dinner at a nice place that night. We had a couple of steaks, potatoes, salads, and drinks each. Tab was a little over $150. I gave the bartender / server 2 Franklins and told her to keep it.

You've got to grease people up a little in life to make them work hard for you and do your bidding. But not so much that they see you as an easy mark.

you guys should always tip the males better than the women, they will appreciate it more

men in general are better tippers, even women that have worked as bartenders and waitresses don't tip well but they expect you to tip them well

Nothing, unless I felt like I had exceptional service. Which is never. A few times I made the waitress bring me a new bill after I told her to remove the 12.5% 'discretionary' service charge on the first bill. I decide, not you bitch.

On the other hand, the last time I remember tipping I gave the restaurant manager €200. This was on holiday in Greece and he was exceptional at his job. Ran a fucking tight ship and always with a smile. I'm happy to tip people like that. A sullen lip-smacking lazy cun.t that 'expect' a tip merely for putting on the uniform can go fuck themselves.

I've gotten a fair amount of ass from a number of attractive waitresses, female bartenders, etc over the years. A nice tip certainly doesn't guarantee I'll get anywhere with a hot server, but it usually starts there.  ;D

Post by: James28 on December 29, 2014, 01:20:43 PM
You're truly a giant piece of human shit.

People take jobs as waiters/bartenders etc. in anticipation of receiving tips; their base pay is usually minimum wage or somewhere in the area of minimum wage. It's not "encouraged" for you to tip.... its expected.

You are not making a difference by not tipping, you're just that guy that doesn't tip. Take all your elitist ( ::)) quasi intellectual verbal swill and shove it up your funky little ass.

Then again you likely consider Chipotle or Panera Bread to be "fine dining", in that case don't worry; they don't work for tips.




And I expect good service if you want to expect free money. You work for the restaurant, you don't work for me. I owe you nothing. If I give you a penny, it's a bonus, nothing more.

But this is how generous I am. I flew some of my staff members of my company home for Christmas, on my dime. And paid everyone a bonus, some less than others, but all got something. Because they work for ME, so it's my responsibility to take care of them. Just like it's the restaurant's owner. I might as well expect my client's to 'tip' MY workers.

Brother.

There is so much geographical beauty here it's retarded. Big part of why we unsophisticated, never-leave-home Americans are so untraveled is the vast diversity of earthly beauty here. California itself is a f'n continent, figuratively, considering what it offers geographically: mountains, forests, hills, deserts, rivers, lakes, farms, ranches, etc., and the most absolutely beautiful ocean postcard scenery the world has to offer (Google Highway 1, Big Sur); I'd put it up against any coast on the planet.

And that's just the far left. Drive east, north, or south, there's amazing shit in either direction that we Yanks will never be able to totally cover in a lifetime. Whatever your gripes, our f'n real estate is extraordinary.

No hate, James, but this place is pretty fucking glorious as far as landscapes are concerned. Sure you're home is beautiful as well, my friend. Enjoy your morning/day/evening. (I'm American, bro, ignorant about foreign timezones and all, 'cause we just don't care.)

Exactly, then round up. Bar: A buck per, unless it's a double or something fancy. Simple.

Take-out is where we've gotten sticky before. Seems crazy to me, but I've done it since reading some reasonable responses here. But it begs the question: Why not tip fastfood then, walk-in or drive-through? They cook, sort, and package just like take-out, and they're by far the lowest earners.

Makes no sense.

Here's the thing, I left $6 bucks but I've been questioning whether I should have discounted the tip some bit because I was obviously being ripped of for the body builders breakfast.  Isn't the waiter also to some extent morally culpable simply by working for such an establishment?

Sure there are some who will say they were "just following orders" but we all know where that leads.

For that price the tip should be included. But from a business standpoint I'm sure they have to charge higher prices in order to meet overhead. Rents/leases/property isn't cheap on that end of town. Hope this helps for all of you business geniouses out there complaining about price.

I don`t really use fruit in them as I like the taste of a pure pancake with pure Grade B Maple Syrup.  I find that fruit masks this flavor.  If I was going to use fruit, I would make a compound butter with something like apple.
   


    5 oz all purpose flour
    5 oz cake flour
    2 Tb sugar
    1 tsp baking powder
    ½ tsp baking soda
    ½ tsp salt
    484 grams buttermilk-whole
    60 grams sour cream-full fat
    2 large eggs
    3 Tb unsalted butter, melted and cooled
    1-2 tsp vegetable oil

    Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.Spray wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; place in oven. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, sour cream, eggs, and melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir until just combined (batter will be lumpy with a few streaks of flour). Do NOT overmix! Let batter sit for 10 minutes before cooking.
   
Heat 1 tsp oil in 12″ nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Using paper towels, carefully wipe out oil., leaving thing film of oil on bottom. Using ¼ cup measure, scoop batter into pan in 4 places. Cooks until edges are set, first side is golden brown, and bubbles on surface are just beginning to break, 2-3 minutes. Using thing spatula, flip pancakes and continue to cook 1-2 minutes, until the second side is golden brown. Serve pancakes immediately or transfer to wire rack in oven. Use last tsp of oil and repeat with remaining batter.

Using thing spatula, flip pancakes and continue to cook 1-2 minutes, until the second side is golden brown. Serve pancakes immediately or transfer to wire rack in oven. Use last tsp of oil and repeat with remaining batter.

Its very interesting and labor intensive as to how its produced.  I would never order pancakes or syrup from any ihop or place like that.  Two reasons, pancakes are retardedly easy to make and they will be much better than the bisquick mix those crappy places use and the syrup you get at those places are sub par and most of the time not even real syrup.

People waste their money and think they are eating pancakes and real syrup, when they really aren`t.  With real syrup, a good syrup, a little will go a long way.


I still have no idea why "bodybuilders" have latched on to pancakes.  Its bizarre.

Bodybuilders latch on to anything they think will create a movement. Makes them feel important.

As for the syrup, Ive often heard if you want really good maple syrup to go to vermont. It can be quite pricey, but I hear its insanely good!!!

It was 21 bucks including the tax and added banana slices for the bodybuilder's breakfast with chicken breast. 

Was 6 bucks too much for a tip? 

My baseline is 18%.  More if the service is above average, less if the service is below average.  There's no excuse for bad service in a service-based/hospitality industry.

If you feel that way just don't go there, again.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

As an aside, I believe in over tipping at places you go to regularly, as your order will probably get fast tracked.

This was my conclusion, that I pretty much won't be going there again.  It makes me sad though to see something good fade away.  I had good memories of the joint.

You were going to tip a minimum of $4 anyway, a buck or two is nothing. A buck or 2 extra from every customer equals a good shift for the server...

Actually in about 4 weeks I start training at a fine dining restaurant that is just opening up where the casino hosts will be bringing in all of the high rollers to go eat. Average of $98 charge per person not including drinks I am pretty optimistic with where things are headed and truth be told I do enjoy what I do. Like the saying goes if you don't have the money to tip accordingly then maybe you should't be going out. Stay home and make your own food and drinks. Yes I realize that saying is completely biased but come on  ;D

Well now, come on.  If we're talking about the kitchen staff this is a fair point but we're talking wait staff here.  Waiters don't make the food.  You should be telling me to stay at home and carry my own food and drinks to the table.  That's what waiters do.  They carry stuff.

Post by: Vince G, CSN MFT on January 04, 2015, 04:41:30 AM
Here's the thing, I left $6 bucks but I've been questioning whether I should have discounted the tip some bit because I was obviously being ripped of for the body builders breakfast.  Isn't the waiter also to some extent morally culpable simply by working for such an establishment?

Sure there are some who will say they were "just following orders" but we all know where that leads.

A waiter only makes about 2.15 an hour.  Always tip properly or don't eat out at all.  Don't take it out on someone who has nothing to do with pricing... ::)

Of course I tip when dining in primitive nations that haven't legislated a fair minimum rate of pay.  Everyone should be able to afford a basic standard of living, even if their only real responsibility is not to spill things on people.

$25 for one breakfast is stupid. I spend $140ish week on food and stupid bills like that for one quickly digested meal is not good. Would bet a huge pizza instead and eat for 3 meals.

My point is the 12 missed grams of protein, or the extra fat from just getting an egg isn't going to make any difference whatsoever.  "Needing" an extra four egg whites is outside the norm, and that will always be costly.   They can't utilize the lost yolk, so you have to pay for it.

$25 for breakfast is expensive, but it should be the exception, not the norm.  You  can't try to translate restaurant meals into regular food pricing.  The math will never work.

Exactly, then round up. Bar: A buck per, unless it's a double or something fancy. Simple.

Take-out is where we've gotten sticky before. Seems crazy to me, but I've done it since reading some reasonable responses here. But it begs the question: Why not tip fastfood then, walk-in or drive-through? They cook, sort, and package just like take-out, and they're by far the lowest earners.

Makes no sense.

Oh damn, I didn't know maple syrup went that indepth.  :D good to know!

Grades have nothing to do with quality.  It only refers to color and taste.

http://vermontmaple.org/new-grades-come-to-vermont/

For years, Vermont maple syrup has been divided into one of four grades based on color and flavor.  As consumer preference has changed over the past century, so too has the grading system evolved to provide a more accurate description based on consumer preference.  The names of each grade, however, did not necessarily provide a meaningful description of the syrup.  For instance, with no prior knowledge of maple syrup grades, Grade B does not mean much other than suggesting it would be a lesser quality than Grade A.

Beginning in 2014, Vermont maple syrup producers will start using a new grading system that will provide a better description of each grade, or class, of syrup.  Each grade will state a color and a flavor descriptor:

    Grade A: Golden Color with Delicate Taste
    Grade A: Amber Color with Rich Taste
    Grade A: Dark Color with Robust Taste
    Grade A: Very Dark Color with Strong Taste
