They do tip.....you just gotta push on them...above the knee...mid thigh.

I went to South Beach Miami for a vacation a couple of years ago. I was shocked that every bar and restaurant added a 18% gratuity to the check. That's not done in New Jersey. The first restaurant I was counting out a 20% tip in cash when my wife said did you notice they already added the tip? I called over the waiter and asked why they were doing this and secondly why he didn't tell me the tip was included? I nearly tipped twice. I'm sure other people on vacation got caught tipping twice. The waiter said the visitors from Europe don't tip so they have to do this. Thought tips were voluntary. So many rip offs in South Beach I could type for awhile but I will spare you. At a bar where I had a burger and some beers the bill was sick high. I asked to see the manager and I wanted a printed bill. On the bill was a bottle of champagne. He immediately took it off and didn't bother to even argue the scam. I bet he thought I was a non English speaking foreigner on holiday he could run scams on.

you can always ask them to take of the added gratuity, its not compulsory you pay it..its not an enforceable charge,
-
for anyone who doesn't like to tip please see opening scene of RESERVOIR DOGS
-
I was a server/bartender during my university years, put myself through school working at a higher end resto-bar. This was common knowledge for sure. Also Europeans were awful. The reason they add gratuity in SOBE is mainly for the influx of European tourists.

Fuck you. Blacks tip no different than anyone else....but when we get good service ...if any at all. Had reservations at a nice place years ago and I still didnt my food for 50 minutes while people WALKING IN got served first

Paying someone 20% for carrying your food or drink from the kitchen to your tabie is dumb as fuck. Think about it. Do you tip your mailman? Garbageman? Best buy worker?Bank Teller? Do they deserved to not be tipped if you are tipping your 30 feet food carrier? It's one of those dumb society rules that nobody ever looks at how illogical it is.

Don't care so much about bringing food back and forth albeit recommending a good bottle of wine that pairs with my meal on a list containing 40 cabernets is worth tipping, for me at least. I assume you and I probably eat at different types of places.

You couldn't be more wrong. Especially since I waited on hundreds off them in my college years. Oh, did I mention the countless requests for a pitcher of water accompanied by a bowl of lemon slices with sugar packets? Just so they could avoid paying for actual lemonade?

I tip extremely well for good service but when it’s included they don’t try hard cause it’s guaranteed so if they add a tip I leave.I have no problem tipping 30-40% if it’s quality service and if I get lunch and it’s 10 I’ll leave a 20.But don’t ever make me tip you,fuck that.
That said bad service gets no tip

It's different for two reasons. First when I buy shoes I know what I want without needing assistance other than to get the shoes. Second both of the aforementioned positions pay more than someone working in a restaurant. I have high expectations when I dine out and service plays into the high level of experience I'm looking for. I'll pay for that!

The minimum wage for waitstaff in the US is $2.13/hr vs $7.50/hr for other food service / minimally skilled labor at the federal level. Even in high minimum wage states, waitstaff are expected to make up a good portion of their wages in tips. If you don't tip them, they're screwed, at least in the US. The restaurant owner should make up the balance, but it becomes a pain in the ass.

I used to work at Bob’s Big Boy as a teenager. No one ever wanted to wait on a black table, especially the black waiters. They knew it would be a combination of extra complaints, unreasonable demands, returned food, an absolute mess of a table and little to no tip. Once I volunteered to prove them wrong. I got everything right, made no mistakes, had the whole table laughing and enjoying my service. At the end of the meal, they sent the 10 year old boy over to me to personally hand me my tip. He gleefully handed me two one-dollar bills. On an $80 check. There was probably more food left on the floor than on their plates. Lesson learned.

Here is the reality based on what I know (I live with a server who treats all customers with respect).
It is absolutely true in US that African Americans (in a general average sense) tip substantially less than others (except for Europeans), often even when very satisfied with food and service. There are, of course, many many exceptions. They think in terms of a token of appreciation (my words) rather than calculating a percentage.
Not corporate restaurants, but many family restaurants give their waiters discretion in adding automatic gratuity on to bills of parties of certain sizes. The servers in these restaurants are often allowed to outright discriminate, adding on the gratuity for black parties and not for white parties of same size, knowing nothing in advance regarding what tip that party might leave. And they feel completely justified when asked about this. I tell them I would shut their restaurant down if I had authority to do so. That is the lumps of being a restaurant owner and server. You don’t discriminate against individuals based on predicted behavior.

Yeah, "Europeans". ;D
The tithing comment is interesting.
Vince, you are not typical. I have no doubt you tip though.
-
I've been out to dinner before with black people and they tip just fine. I tend to tip on the high end (25-35%), but that doesn't mean that a 10-15% tip isn't fine.
I've been to countries where tipping is frowned upon. In Australia, Hong Kong and Japan, there was no tipping. I once tried tipping a server at a restaurant in Japan and it was almost insulting to the server. They were very apologetic about the entire thing and told me they never accept tips as great service should be included in the price you pay for the meal.

Yes, it’s ridiculous to try to suppress discussion and recognition of stereotypes. It would be a very boring world if all groups behaved exactly the same, and a lost cause for us to pretend that to be the case. The challenge is the tightrope regarding discrimination in regard individuals based on a stereotype. By the way, the water, lemon and straw stereotype also totally accurate. Americans on an airplane wanting lots of ice and Europeans wanting none at all in soft drinks also completely accurate, according to any working flight attendant.

10 percent tip in US is NOT considered fine!
-
.?.???
What is it that I said that you find perplexing? I'm speaking the truth. Black people pull that move a lot when they go to restaurants, especially at places like Outback steakhouse. "And what would you you like to drink, ma'am?.....just wahter for all of us....and bring out a big bowl of sliced lemons and bring some extra sugah."
::)
-

I look at it this way. Tipping isn't mandatory. It's customary, but in no way mandatory.
If a waiter provides terrible service, I won't tip at all. It would make no sense.
If a waiter provides average service and you don't tip at all, that would not be fine by customary standards, but the restaurant wouldn't make too big of a fuss about it as long as you pay for your meal and taxes.
If a waiter provides average to slightly below-average service, I will give a 10% tip. If they provide average service, I tip 15%. If they provide good service, I tip 20%. If they provide great service, I tip 25%. If they go above and beyond, connect with everyone on the table, offer recommendations for other services outside of the restaurant (Broadway shows, good places to find clothing items, museum recs etc), never skip a beat in refilling all drinks on the table and bring the check at the perfect time, then I tip 30%. If they do all of the aforementioned and I find another reason that I personally connect with them, I then tip 35%.
To each their own, but I have my criteria. You'd be amazed, but I've noticed that some of the worst tippers are rich people and some of the best tippers are poor people.

Amen. Good service, good tips. Great service, great tips, and so on.
-
That’s all well and good, but I suggest doing the job and then firming up your conclusions. A combination of minimum wage plus tip share (having restaurant management pull money out of tips to subsidize kitchen staff and bussers) means that an average 10 percent (for so so service) would put a fair number of servers at the food pantry.

you cheap asses, i tip usually 30-40%, servers only make $2 per hour and have to work alot of over time ($3 per hour), so they LIVE off tips

i don't remember anybody asking for hot water
but old people would often say "i'll drink whatever i can have for free"

Greek Americans sometimes bring their own desserts into the restaurant. Some restaurants allow this on special occasions. Irish American liquor tabs are substantial as a rule.

It's different for two reasons. First when I buy shoes I know what I want without needing assistance other than to get the shoes. Second both of the aforementioned positions pay more than someone working in a restaurant. I have high expectations when I dine out and service plays into the high level of experience I'm looking for. I'll pay for that!
But this is really case specific, though. Most restaurant patronage takes place in mid-market establishments. Most restaurant customers aren't looking for high-end wine recommendations. I buy shoes basically every week and every time I'm there the salespeople are being inundated with questions from customers.
I'm a proud Hebrew who is a fairly generous tipper, but tipping is a practice that isn't really based in logic. (And to add credibility to my opinion, a lot of white people I know feel the same.) I go to higher end restaurants fairly regularly because of work and there really isn't a huge difference in service from casual to mid/upper-mid, but it's a difference you're expected to pay for based on a percentage of the cost of your meal. To go back to the shoe example, when you go to most chain shoe stores like modells, they mark the box before you pay so the salesperson who helps you gets a commission. Most clothing stores work like that,too. You're expected to tip based on a percentage of your bill, so why doesn't waitstaff work on some sort of commission basis?

It’s pretty funny that of all the times I’ve tipped which is 20-25% every meal, I didn’t tip right after this thread was created. I’m currently staying in Bora Bora at a nice resort on my honeymoon and sat down for lunch with nobody else at any other table. 10 mins later, a table of 10 or so off-duty resort workers sat down after we put our drink order in. I made sure to put our food order in before them as well which was two club sandwiches with no mayo. I noticed that they put in their orders right afterwards. What happens? We’re waiting for 30 mins on a sandwich and guess who’s food comes out first? And to make matters worse, ours comes out 15 mins after theirs and are both slathered in mayo and the bacon looked close to raw. After waiting an hour for a sandwich and being served after the employees while paying thousands to stay there, would you leave a tip? Every bill has a 4% service fee added to it and our bill was over $50 US for 2 shitty sandwiches and tap water, so I guess we technically still left a tip.

in most cases, its a difference of BASE hourly wage, retailers do get paid minimum of $8-$10 per hour while servers get paid $2-4 per hour. And Servers are constantly working
-
Calling bull shit on some of these 40% tippers. You leave 80 bucks as a tip on a $200 dollar meal?
One thing hasn’t been talked about. This happens in a lot of big establishments. The owner or manager demands all the tips from the bar tenders and waiters. At the end of the day he disappears into an office and “divides” the money up. Claims every bartender and waiter gets an equal share. Then pretends to be a saint by giving the bus boys and cooks a cut. What he doesn’t say is he gives himself the lion’s share.
I have a niece that works a popular seaside bar. She told makes thousands in tips for one weekend.

40% tip on a 20 meal, not $200, but i have tipped $60 for a $120 meal before. but my bill is usually $20-30 so yes 30-40%

I catch myself at around 30% to 35% a lot of the time on the smaller checks ($40 and under). I try to talk myself out of it from a fiscal standpoint, but I keep doing it.

$10 dollar tip on a $40 check is normal, good aesthetic number

If this is in response to what I posted, then my post was in favor of changing the way the current system is set up. There are any number of things that could be done- flat server fee in addition to per item commission, raise base wage, etc. A tip system isn't the best and only way restaurants can operate.
And it's not true that servers have no downtime. I'm not taking anything away from the difficulty of the job, but it is not unique in how difficult it is among other jobs on the same level.

If I eat at Ruth’s Chris in Boston I go in knowing dinner is gonna be 250-300 for my wife and I.Bill is usually 150-200 and I will leave 70-100 depending on service.Usually go there once a month.Steak house at casino my points cover meal and I’m usually there alone so my meal is 60-75 and since points cover it I will tip 30-50 depending on service as well.If my dinner is 50 I will usually leave 75 with good service up or down depending on service.my valet guys at Mohegan sun get 100 or better,400 3 days before Xmas.I tip very well to nice people who put in effort.I don’t tip at all for those who don’t.other day at casino had two johnnie walker blues which was 80 and I left 120.Guys were great.Im far from rich but I spend all of money on eating out.Usually eat out 10-15 times a week.Its my favorite thing to do.Oh yeah went to a seafood buffet in Rhode Island last summer and it was 4 of us at 100 each without drinks so bill ended sup being just under 500 and I left 750.Once again not rich and far from it.Im no gib or xfactor.I just appreciate good help.I also tip my workers a few times a month.
I don’t dress nice or anything so they are always shocked with my tips.The way I look at it is Easy come Easy go.i gamble a ton and make big swings for a regular guy.

I actually have to take issue with this to a certain degree. I agree that a lot of people who have no other options are servers. But I also think one of the reasons tipping servers has morphed into practically an ethical issue is because it's a job that is seen as fine for post-high school, middle class white people to have. Like whenever you hear people really stringently defending tipping amounts, they usually say something like "I was a server in college, you gotta tip this much" or "my mom was a server, so I always tip extra." I think this kind of financial martyrdom is reserved almost exclusively for servers.
-
Unless the server is rude or offensive, I don't go below 20%.
I am white and "woke". Blacks overall are HORRIBLE tippers if they tip at all. My best bud has been a career server. Lived all over the country. North, south, east, west no matter where he's worked, blacks have been the worst. He specifically says his experience serving in North Carolina is the bottom of the barrel.
My wife served at Olive Garden while in college. The black female servers at Olive Garden would fight over who HAD to wait on other blacks.
One of my good friends here at work who is black tips very well. But, he tells me how awful it is to go out to eat with his dad and other family members who leave next to nothing.
Makes me sick.
-
Fuck you. Blacks tip no different than anyone else....but when we get good service ...if any at all. Had reservations at a nice place years ago and I still didnt my food for 50 minutes while people WALKING IN got served first
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
Sorry, I never had any preconceived notions about how one tips but having worked in jobs where tips were customary Blacks were by far the worse tippers. Women are worse than men and of course, poor people, though they did tip, didn't tip as well as is customary which is expected.

i never trusted anybody when it came to sharing tips, especially since a lot of service workers are drug addicts and alcoholics, the women were the biggest thieves of all and in general are bad tippers even when they worked as service workers
my manager never had me give them tips to be divided but that definitely happens at places

Correct!
Europeans are by far the worst tippers, period. Germans and Austrians are leading the way. They give like 2 or 4 cents to round up a check. lol
I know because I stayed in Austria for 2o some years.
Of course Prime says if you tip like an American (10-30%) they will look down on you.lol
Complete bullshit of course. ::) I tip extra for good service and that is the best way to show.
Europeans love to get good tips but don't like to tip others.
My experience as an ex Coffeehouse owner is black people's tip just as well as any other race.
Europeans truly suck even in Europe

Do you tip your foot locker worker for picking out a pair of sneakers? Home depo for finding you the right screws? If not, then why not?
Taking orders, keeping them straight, bringing your food and coming back to ensure everything is fine is a lot more labor-intensive than suggesting a show or showing you where an item is. But it is also a matter of custom. If you don't want to observe a society's customs that's your right but if you don't tip at a restaurant or when a pizza is delivered then I wouldn't recommend that you go back. Speaking from experience employees do take note of how well one tips and it will be reflected in the service.
I always tip well. I just do it just out of goodwill. And whenever I turn down a homeless person begging for money I make a note to give a little bit extra for someone actually working for a living.

Hah, I remember that ploy when I use to deliver pizza. They would send their kid to pay. That always told me that they knew they were stiffing me but didn't have the guts to show their face. It's didn't matter. I took note of their address and let the other drivers know.

Well, I guess it depends on your bill. I'll never leave a waiter/waitress anything less than $5. Leaving a few dollar bills seems like such penny-pinching. I was at Denny's and my bill was about $10 and I'll leave a $5 tip. So that's 50% but it's still only $5. But I also look at it this way. If they are making the minimum wage which is about $9/hr and I now increase that to $14/hr.

I am white and "woke". Blacks overall are HORRIBLE tippers if they tip at all. My best bud has been a career server. Lived all over the country. North, south, east, west no matter where he's worked, blacks have been the worst. He specifically says his experience serving in North Carolina is the bottom of the barrel.
My wife served at Olive Garden while in college. The black female servers at Olive Garden would fight over who HAD to wait on other blacks.
One of my good friends here at work who is black tips very well. But, he tells me how awful it is to go out to eat with his dad and other family members who leave next to nothing.
Makes me sick.
I once asked a friend of mine who is Black why he is such a shitty tipper. He said, "Fuck them. After all they did to my people they owe me." So I wonder if some of it has to do with this whole reparation bull shit.

X2, but servers don't make $9 and hour, its $2-4 per hour, sometimes less. again they live off tips
Not here in Hawaii. Most service jobs pay above minimum wage. $12/hr starting at McDonalds. If it's a tip related job you'll just get the minimum. I guess because the cost of living is so high and finding decent employees is not easy because unemployment is so low here and because we have a generous welfare state.

It is, I know lots of black people, and many of them, particularly black women, love to stick it to servers, etc.... Really work them. Also, I've seen blacks tip black workers better on the sly, if it was a multi-racial crew working a party, etc...., but that last part happens across many races.
In my experience, it's like 75% bad to mediocre tippers / 25% really good tippers in regards to black people and tipping.

40% tip on a 20 meal, not $200, but i have tipped $60 for a $120 meal before. but my bill is usually $20-30 so yes 30-40%
Where are eating where you get a $20 dollar meal in a restaurant?

Holy crap! I can't believe anyone would take a job paying barely over $2/hour. Jobs must be hard to come by or maybe you're working as a stripper or in some high-end hotel or restaurant where you're making hundreds a day in tips.

Some Blacks tip, but, as a group, blacks are shitty tippers.
Everyone knows this.
Women are a much bigger pain in the ass in restaurants. Everyone knows this too.

Is there anything worse than making your order in one sentence and then listening to a woman ask questions about obvious choices and try to change the menu?
-
Correct!
Europeans are by far the worst tippers, period. Germans and Austrians are leading the way. They give like 2 or 4 cents to round up a check. lol
I know because I stayed in Austria for 2o some years.
Of course Prime says if you tip like an American (10-30%) they will look down on you.lol
Complete bullshit of course. ::) I tip extra for good service and that is the best way to show.
Europeans love to get good tips but don't like to tip others.
My experience as an ex Coffeehouse owner is black people's tip just as well as any other race.
Europeans truly suck even in Europe
Re-open cafe in Australia & you'll see........... ;D ;D ;D
Who in a fuck would tip barista ::)

My favorite is when a woman asking about a particular item on the menu will ask, "Is it good?" Like what are you supposed to say? I remember as a teen I use work as a short-order cook at a drive-in. When you approached the window to order the grill was right there so I would be standing just a few feet from the cashier. So this fatso lady orders the beef ribs and then she turns to me, "Eh brah, make um good, huh?" And I replied, "Oh, you want me to make it good this time? Sure, I'm glad you told me," then I rolled my eyes. The manager took me to the side and said don't be so sarcastic. I said, "Oh, you thought I was being sarcastic?" in a sarcastic tone. He was a cool guy and just kind of laughed.

You should have marinated them beef ribs between your cheeks or in your armpit for that fat pig.

How do Jews tip?
How about French people?
(Guy I work with, if we go to lunch as a group, just pays the 10.99 for his silly little Chili's meal, doesn't pitch in for the tip. (French guy).
He also will spend his weekends at work, when no one is there, taking stuff out of the scrap bins and stripping out what might be good, to sell at metals yard.
Like he got 20.00 for spending 8 hours at work, stripping CAT6 cable for the little bit of copper and was happy/bragging about it. (Lonely feller, complains about having no girl).

When I used to wait tables and bartend, three things were commonly known.
1. Blacks were by far, the worst tippers. Everyone dreaded getting blacks.
2. Asians, Indians and foreigners were also shitty tippers, but not half as bad as blacks.
3. Fat white women were the hardest to wait on. They are extra picky, and will run your azz ragged.

I'm sure you enjoyed waiting on black tables when they brought all their little kids as well.

This is Getbig. Cut the politically correct bullshit.
Were people in this thread being politically correct? Other than the thread title and opening post, which looked like an attempt at this thing called humor that I've heard of.
It's interesting that this topic came up, though, because I remembered that I was interested in getting getbig's opinion on a tipping matter. (I always like to get the getbig consensus on something so I can consider doing the opposite.)
On a recent trip, I took an uber to and from the airport. The trip from the airport was okay, the driver was fine and I tipped him $15 on a $45 ride. On the ride back to the airport, I got a driver who I really thought was great and she went above and beyond to make the trip nice. The ride was $30 and I tipped her $25 Both rides were basically identical, but the first ride was priced with surge pricing. I was looking through my uber history at a later point and realized that I actually ended up paying the driver that I thought did a better job less. (I did end up tipping her an additional $10 several weeks later ::) )
That got me thinking about how weird it is to customarily tip with uber's pricing structure. Surge pricing has always been sort of controversial, but it never occurred to me that even when you want to show your driver a higher level of appreciation, customary tipping kinda skews that.
So, question to getbig: Is it reasonable to pay a lower tip rate during a surge? Or would doing so just be niggardly?
(Yes, drivers do take home a larger cut when there's a surge.)

There are people that make careers out of serving. In some cases, it's hand to mouth, but for some people, it's somewhat lucrative.

My buddy chased down one family in the parking lot at a Red Lobster after they left nothing on a $700 tab years ago. He asked WTF was wrong? They said they loved the food and the service. Cheap MOFO grifters.

How do Jews tip?
Jews, in my experience are good to great tippers most of the time. Part of it is they don't want the "cheap Jew" stereotype hanging around them. They make sure they get everything sorted out the way they want it, but in return they're going to be decent to you.
This doesn't include Hasidim. They've been nice to me over the years, but I haven't had any business dealings with them to form an opinion. They are a very clannish people.
Indians (dot, not teepee) are worse than blacks about tipping, etc.... but they aren't rude about it. They can be annoying hagglers. I've seen them try and haggle in a dollar store.

Years ago, I worked with a black waiter, named Rob. He was probably late 30's to early 40's. It was near closing time, and we were all counting our tips and cashing out. I can't remember the number exactly, but that night, a black couple left me a shitty tip. I think it was 3 bucks, on a 50 dollar bill. I asked Rob, "Why do your people tip so shitty?" He laughed and said, "Shiiiiiit, I don't tip either when I go out to eat." I said, "Rob, WTF? You wait tables and you don't tip?" He said, "Yeppppp, that's mo money for me. Mo drinking money, mo smoking money."
True fucking story. All I could do was shake my head in disbelief. I hope Rob is still waiting tables today.

Yes, all stereotypes are true. It's not like all societal leaders got together years ago and decided to pull names out of a hat for each stereotype.
First group will be the group that likes to drink most....and the winner....the Irish.
Next the group that likes to run organized crime rings.....and the winner is....the Italians
Next the group that is the most greedy and money hungry....and the winner is....the Jews
Next the group that is most violent and leaves shitty tips.....the winner.....the blacks
