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.

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.

When are you ever going to diet down to 8 percent bf??  :D ;D

I worked at a Ruth’s Chris freshman college for a year,  good tips and love the steaks

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.  

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

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.
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.

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.


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.

X2, but servers don't make $9 and hour, its $2-4 per hour, sometimes less.  again they live off tips

I agree, the system is broken, but its the standards at the moment for servers.  And yes, serving jobs are usually for people who are uneducated and are desperate for income

Or, as in my case, in the process of getting educated and this is a job to help pay the bills while going to school.

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.

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.

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.

Women are a much bigger pain in the ass in restaurants. Everyone knows this too.
