Jean-Claude Van Damme - only $40 tip

[Disgusted]

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.

That's awesome. I'm gonna try that next time. Gotta remember to bring 5 ones with me.

 Where I live now.

 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.

How many fried crickets do you get for $10 in the shithole you live in?

 Enough to stuff your mama's pussy like a Thanksgiving turkey.

10$? That's an average months salary where BlackFagRedStarfish is, i bet he can have a boatload of crickets for this, and even some gratinated cockroaches on top!

 Crickets taste alright. I prefer the taste of your Mom's pussy though.

I knew johhny wouldn't take this thread laying down.....oh wait nevermind

[Tito24]

so because hes rich he has to give alot?

[spinnis]

we dont have to worry about tipping here. They are just doing their fucking job and they do get a salary, And dont see poeple tipping the people that takes care of your garbage? I would tip them before randoms walking out with my order. ITS THEIR JOB.

[Lundgren]

Why do they expect every guy that at some time in his life acted in a hollywood movie has to tip 500$$?

They should fire the waiter who let this slip, bad rep for the customer, what a fucked up restaurant.

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

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.

[epic_alien]

i see allot of snowbirds  (old people)here where i live. they are ruthless about tipping. a group of 4  leaves 2 bucks.

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.

[jpm101]

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.

why not pay a normal fucking salery and get rid of the tipping.. people would probably pay a little bit mroe if they didnt have to worry about tipping anyway

The idea is the staff get higher pay during peak hours, meaning service level is maintained. It's all about service when you eat out, if not save 50 bucks and goto mickyD's.
