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,

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.

A server best put on the cheer if she expects a tip from me.

Ms. Grumpster ain’t getting squat.

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.

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.

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?

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.

I once saw a couple leave 3 pence as a tip in a Chinese Restaurant I was in..

Yeah, "Europeans". 

The tithing comment is interesting.

Vince, you are not typical. I have no doubt you tip though.
