I have a question for you bodybuilders (bb related) regarding tipping at a breakfast meal. I go to a restaurant nearby after a morning working that has a pretty good special. You can choose from one of two options that is less than $4. It does not however include coffee. The meal comes to $7 when you get coffee. Some of the waitresses will charge you for it and some won't. I tip the ones that do not charge me $5 on the meal, bringing the total to $9 and when they charge I tip $3 making the total $10. My question to you bodybuilders who are trying to hit the anabolic window is; is common practice to pay for the "free" item in the form of a tip, or just to tip heavy as I have been doing? Thanks.

I'd probably do exactly the same thing you do.
Face it, you don't need the $ from the free coffee. But getting it is cool, and makes you feel good, so you tip a bit more. Win-win for both of you since waitress gets more $, and you save a buck. Restaurant loses sale of coffee, but may gain because you'll visit more.

I don't believe in tipping unless waiter goes above and beyond what is expected so in your case some are doing you a favor. Essentially tipping is you paying what the owner should be paying. They pay minimum wage if the worker doesn't at least equal that. Waiter/waitresses choice to be in that industry so no idea why some get mad if a tip isn't given since they get minimum wage anyways. They don't really do anything beyond anyone else does in a job so why tipping has become a thing makes no sense except to benefit the owner who doesn't have to pay them/evaluate performance, etc.

I tip heavy, same as you. Most meals I tip between 20-25%. If the service is really sub-par I will go down to 15%. Only twice has it been so bad I left nothing.

I hope you don't practice this same cheap-ass method with pizza delivery people. Many make notes in the computer on people that don't tip according to my nephew who used to deliver. These people have your food "alone" in "their" vehicle. I bet you get extra toppings on yours. Enjoy your next pizza Ebenezer. :-*

What country do you live in?
Michigan, USA

Michigan, USA
Then I hope you don't go out to eat much
You're just cheap - standard practice in this country is to tip for good service, and that's not regulated to only foodservices industries.

Here`s a tip...."Don`t stare into the sun"!! ;)

Lol, must have a waitress/waiter in the family. Sorry to hurt your feelings. How's about getting a job in a different industry? If you like paying for what the owner, etc. should be paying then that's a you problem, not me. He's the cheap one. Your just the sheep one without logic. That's ok.
That employee should be fired if they don't perform their job correctly.
And really speaking on waiting jobs. No idea how delivery drivers work for those places. I do know that I didnt get tipped on deliveries (or not expected to)when I did it for furniture before because the boss/owner took resonsibiity and paid a normal wage.
-
15% for 1 of the 3-tits,ass,face
20% for 2 of the 3
25% for all 3, although rare
0% for dudes.

Your comparing 2 different industry's. I've had furniture delivered. They give you a 6 hour window when it will arrive, if your lucky. When I'm out eating and I need a drink I don't expect to have to wait long.
Waitresses don't get paid shit by the restaurant for a reason. They give you good service you pay in tips. This motivates the servers to do a good job. If you think they shouldn't get tips and the restaurant should bump up their salary, then there goes your service. They're getting paid so what the fuck do they care if you wait a few extra minutes to get your drink.
I went to a place last week that had a 20% tip included in the bill. Worst fucking service in history. I don't think that was a coincidence.

I was listening to a podcast with Ron Partlow on it, and he said in Australia you don't tip waters because their salaries are good. Said even in fancy expensive restaurants the service sucked, waitresses were rude, and didn't care if you were satisfied or not. He said even getting water refills was like pulling teeth. So I 100% see your point on this.

Our service had a two hour window with a half hour call ahead.
Once again that logically makes no sense. They aren't paid (and they are paid if you don't tip) well only because the owner does not want to pay their wages. If an employee underperforms/gets complaints then they should be fired as in any other job. Motivation would be raises/keeping your job as in any other job/service job. If they need motivation to work then that is once again their problem and owners responsibility to hire correctly as in any other job.
So basically your argument is that people in the restaurant industry are somehow different in their work ethic in comarison to other jobs (i.e. potentially lazier) which doesn't really make sense. The boss/owner should be the boss/owner as in any other job.
My main point is that to make tipping some sort of requirement/mandatory is pretty bogus all things considered. I do tip but only when above and beyond. Heck, I tied a subway worker like ten extra dollars because my wife kept switching what she wanted, lol. Made his day. I don't believe you should be essentially required to tip someone for doing their job correctly like a normal person. That's weird.

The disconnect is your belief in the way the industry should work is not the way the industry actually does work.
Either way, if the restaurant industry was required to pay the full wages as a standard, you'd end up paying for it anyway with higher prices. And, as it's been pointed out, service would likely suffer, as the incentive is diminished.

Not really a disconnect. Moreso, just reasoning. The disconnect is with the people that feel sorry for someone willingly taking that sort of job/don't know that they are paid minimum wage (at least in MI) if tips don't reach that amount. I think that's the case in most states as I read an article on it once via fb (forget what mag it was linked from). A lot of comments agreed with me.
The service argument is mute as shown by previous posts. Plenty of jobs that involve working with people that this is not the case.
Anyways, I'm not one for continually making the same argument anyways over and over. Just my thoughts on it. Doesn't really effect me anyways as I don't go out to eat that much anyways as it is expensive for what you get and in general I get disappointed and like the food we make at home more usually.

It's a good convo.....I didn't even learn that the restaurant was required to "make good" until I read your post and looked it up.
But, even though you feel that way about the restaurant industry in relation to other services industries, most who enter the field do so under the understanding that, overall, good service gets you 15% and better service can lead to more. Tipping for service in restaurants is standard USA practice, and expected from the restaurant, the waiters, and the customers, on the whole.

I would not go over to mazrim(job) house if he is ordering pizza if I were you. You know the driver cranked off at least 3 loads onto his supreme pizza and scratched his nutsack with the crust. :P

I see your point.Thank goodness for now we live in a free market society and the restaurants can choose how they pay their employees. You can go to the restaurants that don't allow tipping but have higher costs in compensation. But I highly doubt you will get the service you will at a place were the servers are working for tips. There are some great waitresses and some shitty ones. The shitty ones will go to a place with the higher salary. Your paying either way. Some restaurants here in NY don't allow tipping, but their prices are more then what I'd pay with a good tip at other places.
Delivering furniture and waitressing are totally different. Dropping something off at someones house vs watching a table for an hour,going back and forth non stop, making sure everyone is comfortable and meeting their demands.
Would strippers do as good of a job if they were on salary only and you couldn't give them dollar bills?
-
I only give the tip.
-
is common practice to pay for the "free" item in the form of a tip, or just to tip heavy as I have been doing? Thanks.
Sometimes in the bar industry, the bartenders will hook knowns up with a free (stolen) drinks sometimes. Usually the rate is every 3/4 free drink, you kick the bartender back the cost of the drink as a tip.
In your case, I'd probably give the difference back as a tip or if the service was bad, correct the bill.

Wait staff don't make minimum wage. In fact, they make substantially less than that and therefore, rely heavily on tips
-

If a waiters/waitresses tips + salary don't = minimum wage, their employer is required to make up the difference. That's what he means.
I don't agree with him on his stance on tipping, but your point has already been explained already.
-
I tip heavy, same as you. Most meals I tip between 20-25%. If the service is really sub-par I will go down to 15%. Only twice has it been so bad I left nothing.
I do exactly the same.

Yes, but if a waiter or waitress is overly rude, they shouldn't get a tip (or a lower one). Your tip is contingent on how well you do your job.
I am not against tipping, but Im not for tipping just for the sake of tipping either.
-

Don`t take any wooden nickels !! :D
Anyone that doesn`t tip for good service is a cheapskate.

I LOL`ed ! :D

When the wait staff fucks up your order, brings things out of sequence, forgets something, makes you wait forever then they shouldn't be tipped. No automatic tipping for sucking at your job. I've had waitresses just fucking disappear and show up to hand me the check after waiting forever. Fuck them.
-

You sound just like me. I actually feel bad about tipping when the service is shitty. I usually do 20% of the total bill with tax if the service is good. If I sit there for a while and have a few bottles of wine and dessert with my wife, I might drop like $60-$80 if they add to the conversation and are cool people.

Good point except it's completely false. They just do their job like anyone else who has a job to do. Why is everyone sufficiently motivated by a paycheck to perform their work except 'servers' who, for some reason, are going to require the dangling of an additional carrot of indeterminate size?
Tipping discussions. Everyone patting themselves on their self-satisfied backs because they gave someone money. "And here's a little something for yourself." Did the waiter polish your monocle for you? It's so lame.
Besides, it's not like waiters bring some extraordinary skill set to bear for you. They ask you what you want and then carry food from the kitchen to your table. What kind of moron would you have to be to fuck that up?
-
Here`s a tip...."Don`t stare into the sun"!! ;)
-
I usually tip 15 to 20%...What I do not like is "tip Jars". The kind of shit you see at Starbucks etc. Nothing worse than throwing a buck or two in the thing just as the person turns their head and never sees you do it.
-
For average service, I tip 12 percent on the bill total. To offset the tax added.
If someone is shit, I give 'em a good three or four percent, plus a written note on the receipt to get fucked. Usually accompanied with a frowning face.
Like another says, they're taking my order, bringing me a plate and checking in on me at some point to see if I'm OK. Maybe top up my root beer. All with a smile.
Big deal.
I'll be equally pleasant and toss ya 12 percent. Now move along.
Fortress has shit to do.

Lot's of Charlie Cheapasses in this thread.
The American federal government requires a wage of at least $2.13 per hour be paid to employees that receive at least $30 per month in tips. If wages and tips do not equal the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour during any pay period, the employer is required to increase cash wages to compensate.

I fully agree. I don't necessarily tip a standard amount. If you want to earn more, work more. If you are rude, you run the risk of getting stiffed.
What about takeout orders? Do you tip the cashier or the sandwich shop who's workers don't make min wage? What about the pizza delivery guy? How do you guys handle that?
-
One of my exes was cheap and tipped poorly. Worse yet, she was incredibly high maintenance, always wanted exceptional service, and special menu modifications by the chef/cook.
I solved the problem by getting separate checks.
-
Rarely do I tip less than 20%.
I typically survey the restaurant and if it's packed and my server is handling a bunch of tables and the restaurant is clearly understaffed I know that's a function of poor management and not a server issue.
Even if I have a grumpy server who takes my order and basically never comes back I'll still give 20%. I just figure the server needs it more than I do and I'm happy to give it.
Tipping is an accepted and well known custom today when dining out so be prepared to participate.

Tips should be earned, not just given.

I just feel differently about it.
If $12-$15 on top of a my bill doesn't phase me in the slightest and I can give it to someone else that needs it more I'm good with that.

Tipping is not a fucking charity. It is a wage. If you paid someone to paint your house black and they painted it pink, would you still pay them the $500 you owe?
Same with a waitress. They have a job to do to earn that tip.
-
When I was a kid, I remember my Dad giving the guy at the full serve gas station a $1 tip after he pumped the gas and wiped down the windshields.

Do people seriously tip a waiter/waitress if they did a horrible job?
I had one waitress who was exceptionally nasty for no reason at all. Guess what? No tip for her. :D :D
-
one hand washes the other. I always give a nice tip when a nice tip is due, but on the otherhand there has been once or twice where i literally left the change on the dollar.
-
I'd tip if I was in the US but they're not a hand washing another hand. They're useless people who have interposed themselves between the chef and the diner and think they deserve money for it. You could replace them with a conveyor belt or a little motorized trolley. Professional plate carriers. How is that even a job?
-
Like most good, honest folk here I tip well when I know I will be back or I am with people whose opinion I crave.
Other times I simply offer a prayer for the server and pen in an inspirational quote from the word of The Lord.

If service is so bad that we're not going to tip, I'd get another waitress.

Where I'm from 10% is considered a decent tip and most people don't give even that.
It's considered optional depending on the service.

And then the waitress who you "fired" spits in your meal.
-
And then the waitress who you "fired" spits in your meal.
Plus the whole thing about "giving them a chance"
It's not like you know ahead of time that your whole meal will have shit service, so it's tough to "fire" your waiter ahead of time.
All in all, I don't mind the tipping aspect. It's part of the cost of the meal. If everyone worked with an eat-what-you-kill attitude then I feel like we'd get better service in general across the board.
-
I understand tipping in a restaurant and how it can be of benefit to everybody.
I don't understand why I should tip a taxi driver. So he doesn't take me the long route? Surely not.
-

Your father was a man of considerable means.

LOL @ firing your waiter. :D
"You're fired, Pasquale! FIRED!"

Lol, must have a waitress/waiter in the family. Sorry to hurt your feelings. How's about getting a job in a different industry? If you like paying for what the owner, etc. should be paying then that's a you problem, not me. He's the cheap one. Your just the sheep one without logic. That's ok.
That employee should be fired if they don't perform their job correctly.
And really speaking on waiting jobs. No idea how delivery drivers work for those places. I do know that I didnt get tipped on deliveries (or not expected to)when I did it for furniture before because the boss/owner took resonsibiity and paid a normal wage.
While I agree with you that the owner should be paying their employees, it is a regulation here in the states that they don't have to for food services. We subsidize their pay with tips for good service. It's got it's pros and cons. If we are paying a portion of their salary we have some say in what they get paid for doing a bad, mediocre, good or outstanding job. If they were flat salary, they would have little incentive to take care of you. Also, if they were making $10 bucks an hour the cost would be passed on to you in the form of higher prices on the menus. That you know all this, and still don't tip doesn't make you a righteous person bucking the system, it just makes you a prick.
-
This percentage thing is bullshit. Is a waitress carrying a $100 plate of food more special than one carrying a $10 plate ? Why does one deserve $15 vs $1.50 for essentially doing the exact same thing ?

I don't believe in the whole tipping percentages thing. If me and my buddy go out to a restaurant, and he orders a $10 burger plate and I order a $25 steak dinner, and we both get the same service, why should I give more of a tip just because my meal cost more? That's just stupid.
And I don't think the laws in Canada are the same. Minimum wage is minimum wage, doesn't matter the job. So a waitress will make $10.50/hr, and if one table gives her a $10 tip, well she just made an extra $10/hr. And that's just 1 table. Most waitresses are working 2-3 tables or more at a time. So they could potentially be making like $40-50/hr.

I don't put anything past anyone, especially in the food industry.

Some cheap motherfuckers up in here.

This percentage thing is bullshit. Is a waitress carrying a $100 plate of food more special than one carrying a $10 plate ? Why does one deserve $15 vs $1.50 for essentially doing the exact same thing ?
Nothing about $100 plate restaurants is similar to $10 plate restaurants.
If you just want sustenance you don't eat $100 plate food.
Let's stop pretending much of this has to do with food. Otherwise we might as well debate oats in the microwave vs the audacity of paying an entire dollar for a cheeseburger.

Unless the you waitress gives you a handjob why does she deserve more of a tip for walking from the kitchen to your table as a Denny's waitress does?

I always tip generously at breakfast. Sometimes the waitress will give me free coffee, muffin or an occasional blowjob behind the dumpster off the kitchen. I like to help those that help themselves. I won't give money to bums, but a waitress who hustles a bit, no problem.
-
I always tip, and more if the service was exceptional.
Trust me if you are regular anywhere and treat the staff well and tip good, you will more than get back in return free shit like drinks, top ups, desserts etc etc
This is a service announcement for anyone considering being an asshole to restaurant people.

Should someone who can't afford to tip even go to a restaurant?

absolutely not
going out to eat is the first thing that needs to go if money is tight

But you shouldn't tip if the service is crappy.

I'm a big tipper because I'm not a broke phaggott. Unlike a lot of the people here.

Only if there's enough room on the EBT card.

You shouldn't tolerate crappy service.
I also meant ability to afford it spiritually.
Someone who leaves a prayer, crap from their church, or random blessing in lieu of cash, and sincerely thinks it will benefit their server should be beaten to death.

Listen, your suggestion to get another waiter/waitress is stupid and unrealistic.
When you go to a local chain restaurant, this is not feasible. If I am having crappy service, I usually give the waiter/waitress 1 or 2 chances to do a better job. Anyone can have an "off" day, so I am patient in the beginning, in hopes that their performance may improve. By the time this actually happens (or doesn't), your pretty much done with your meal. At this point, it would be dumb to request a new server.
On the other hand, if you feel like your server is bad from the get-go, then you can request a new one. But that would be kind of impatient, as it would not allow the server to perhaps improve their performance (maybe their just a little buy at that moment). So, you either get rid of the waiter/waitress right away, or you give them a few chances to improve. But by the time that happens, youre pretty much half-way or done with your meal, and it would be dumb to request a new server.

Have been seeing these things more and more frequently.
Has a neat tipping feature when paying.
