Waiter Racism Survey Shows 40 Percent Of Waiters Discriminate Against Black Customers
Posted: 04/24/2012 11:32
Many waiters give inferior service to African-American customers, according to a new survey.
The study, published in the Journal of Black Studies, found that 40 percent of waiters admit they discriminate against black customers because of a perception they don't tip as much as white patrons, according to the Daily Mail.
"Many people believe that race is no longer a significant issue in the United States,’ Sarah Rusche, co-author of a paper describing the study, told the Mail. "But the fact that a third of servers admit to varying their quality of service based on customers' race, often giving African-Americans inferior service, shows that race continues to be an issue in our society."
The survey is based on interviews with 200 waiters at various large chain restaurants in North Carolina and, as the Examiner notes, 87 percent of those surveyed were white.
The survey found that blacks were typically described as “picky,” “demanding,” and “rude,” the Examiner reported.
According to the article's authors, the research shows a "continuing significance of race in contemporary society." The authors also encouraged "further research on this relatively neglected area of inquiry."

Sickening.
They should fukin' serve everybody the best possible way even if they get no tip at all >:(
Sack those sluts, plenty of kind and professional work force available these days

i don't understand why these fucks expect fucking tips ???
they take your order and carry the food to your table. hardly rocket science now is it ::)

I can't imagine the misery of being a waiter in a Red Lobster

Because they get paid less than 5 dollars an hour before tipping that's why.

Brits don't tip at all. :)

I was in the restaurant biz for many years. They didn't need a study to show this. It's true and it applies to other people bit just blacks. Of course they focus on them because it's the "in thing" to do. Indian people get lower service too in many occasion. True people should be served equally well. However, when you get your ass run around catering to a certain type and get nothing in return, or they expect speical treatment, comped drinks/food; it's natural to not want to work for them.

I'd dump a full pitcher of ice tea on someones head at some point.
No way I could have ever been a waiter.

Truth be told blacks don't tip :-\
-
another TRUTH that the blacks guy here will have a seizure over.
As a whole, blacks are shitty tippers. common knowledge to anyone who's been in the business
servers rely on tips to make a living, let's not have a "reservoir dogs" moment here ;D
-
Truth be told blacks don't tip :-\
Maybe they should get a little sign for the table saying "I tip 15% - its ok to serve me" and they would get better service?
-

A buddy of mine was a bartender. When he got complaints from the blacks that their drinks were too week he would just dip both ends of the the straw in Everclear or 151 and send it right out without doing anything else to the drink. They bought it hook, line and sinker every time. 8)

that's there fucking problem, cunt
they should be paid at least minimum wage. the cost will be passed on the the customer. and tips left to the customers discretion.
fuck tipping (unless she's really pretty that is :))

With all my pilgrimages to Myrtle beach I might have made friends with a dancer or bartender or two ;)
they all take the week of Memorial day vacation because it's black bike week...they say they get treated like shit and don't make any money for it.
...lol,there are places that actually close and put up signs saying "closed for renovations"

hahahaha...Now that's some quality humor right there.I love hearing stories like that.
Go out there with a few big pieces of plywood and a nail gun for the windows...put up the sign and haul ass to Cancun or somewhere warm for the week. That's how it's done right there. :)

Lol,the favorite pastime of the rednecks that week is to sit on their porches drinking Buds and watch the blacks get pulled over on their bikes.
....seems the local police force and sheriffs department is out in force hiding behind every tree and bilboard just waiting for them to speed,pull a wheelie,or something like that ;D

Myrtle beach is where they try to rip off vacationing northerners. I ate a place that had in small print that an 18% tip was added to the bill. I never noticed it and gave a 20% tip. Those scum bags. I complained and the waiter removed it and said they have to to this because so many don't tip. What's with the meat in the south too? You can't buy a decent steak, roast beef, or a hamburger anywhere. There restaurants look super fancy but after going to 15 different restaurants the food in general is garbage. I guess I'm spoiled by living close to NYC.
I over tip. If I am asking every 6 minutes for another beer or something I have to help a busy waitress/waitor out. I give 15% for ordinary service and more if they give the extra effort. One thing I never do is put a penny in all those tip jars next to every cash register I see. Does everyone get a tip now? Another person I tip is some guy coming over my house to work on something. I give them enough tip to buy lunch.

200 waiters.
North Carolina.
Monster research, breaking news. ;D

Everything in that article is true except for this line: "The study, published in the Journal of Black Studies, found that 40 percent of waiters admit they discriminate against black customers because of a perception they don't tip as much as white patrons, according to the Daily Mail."
It's not a perception, it's a fact. Blacks are the worst tippers out of all races. I waited and bartended for about 5 years, and blacks were by far the worst tippers. I would give them the best service possible, so there would be no excuse for a shitty tip, and they would still tip shitty. There was a black guy that waited tables with me, and I told him he needed to talk to his people and get them to start fucking tipping. He said, "Shit, I don't tip either when I go out to eat!" I said, "What the fuck do you mean, you wait tables and you don't tip other waiters?" He said, "Yep, that's just mo party money, and mo drink money for me." His name was Rob, and he was a sorry mother fucker.
Bottom line is, it doesn't matter how stellar your service is towards blacks, 95% of them are terrible tippers.

I was thinking WTF is wrong with the other 60% of the idiots in this survey?
I have a buddy who worked at a crab place in Westchester and hetold me abut once he got $30 on a 900 tab and was unning all over the place for these idiots and were demanding as hell.
He chased them out ino the parking lot and they saw nothing wrong w 30 tip for his slaving away for them. Payback?
-
blacks have always been horrible tippers... not everyone but id say 95%. They also require twice as much work. They ask for one thing, then their kid asks for another, then there other kid asks. Its just how it is.

See now all you hardass youngsters on here who seem to think that these servers should work for slave wages and take whatever bullshit that comes there way...this poster right here is what's called a "decent human being"
If he feels someone is doing him a good service then he rewards them properly WHEN THEY DESERVE IT. The way it should be.
-
I really hate to confirm what sounds like a racist view, but I've known many waitresess and it's true about blacks (from haiti especially, very cheap and annyoying to deal with) indians are very cheap and a hassle as well. Working in supp stores before, same thing. They're so fuckin' cheap, always want to negociate prices and shit. I put most foreigners in this shoe as well. People from Morroco and absolute bitches with their negotiating bullshit, mexicans as well. They always ask, "if I buy 1, can I get the second for 50% or some shit like that"
This place does spit out a lot of racist shit, but this thread is spot on. Anyone who's not sure about this can do just one day on the job to then find out if this is true or not...

x2.
I ALWAYS tip a minimum of 15% when out eating. More if theyre obviously busting their ass or busy as fuck but still making time to check in on my table.
I couldnt be a waiter. IMHO they deserve every penny of a 15% tip just for having to put up with so many peoples shit.
I also try to be polite to them, especially during busy times (unless theyre just dicks).
-
and that study is flawed, try like 90% plus of waiters discriminate...
-

Maybe they should um, demand more pay? Fools. Only in America.

My patients don't tip me either, and I'm not that expensive...... 8)
-

;D

bottom line though, being a waiter is good pay for the education it requires. And it pays more than $3 an hour to the jack asses who posted that before tips.

Wow another one of the 1000's of anti-american irrelevant posts by "klaus fan" void of any kind of humor or having the slightest bit of interest.
I wish I could live where you are where everyone is obnoxious and a complete bore. ::)
-
Waiters and waitresses bitching??????
How ironic, considering how far the acceptable level of service in a restaurant has fallen. If you come to my table with a shitty attitude, letting everyone know how bothered you are by being at work, chomping gum, unkempt, don't know the menu, don't check up on the table periodically.....you won't have to wait until the tipping part of the meal for me to resolve the issue.
Fuck that....leaving a shitty tip and running out the door is so Beta. Handle the problem right up front with a manager. No fucking way some $3/hr idiot is going to ruin my night out.
-
Having worked as a Waiter whilst at college I can say that it's always the ones that you don't expect that tip IMO.
-
Don't tell little j that, or he will show you his degrees and say he makes 9 million a year and tips 140%...he's supernegro

This is spot on. we tip here in the UK only if the service is above what they get paid for. a waitress gets paid the same as a cashier and you wouldn't tip them for packing your bags. a certain level of service is expected any less and you call a manager any more they go home with more money.
-
Tips are not a requirement. If service is good and you have the extra to tip and the desire to tip then tip. If service is poor and you still want to tip then tip. Tips are not a requirement.

Ive noticed that too, several of the restaraunts ive been to recently have been like this, cant answer any menu questions, looking dirty, seems annoyed to even have to talk to us, I had one bitch actually check her phone while taking my order (my wife just about went ballistic). Its getting pathetic. Needless to say those people dont get my customary 15%+ tip, lol.
Especially when you try and flag one down for a refill after theyve walked by your table 10+ times and never stopped to pick up the empty glass on the edge, and then they give you a dirty look and mumble under their breath because they have to do something. guy pissed me off.
One dude even tried to hit on my wife while waiting on our table (I didnt even have to say anything, it was pathetic, lol. My wife wound up laughing in his face, which was way more embarrassing for him than any hardass line I could have pulled out.)
Always seems to happen at a places like Chili's and TGI's.
-
That's awesome, "I got two words for you, I don't fucking tip". Anyway, I tip 20% on the bill, like the taxed amount and double it. I know some people look at the pre tax amount and tip based on that. I am not sure if I have even ever tipped below 15%. If you're good, I'm really generous. I waited tables one summer while in college, and I was terrible, so I can respect a good waiter. When I went to Italy , they don't tip there , but the guys are being paid more than $2.13 and hour and know their shit, but I still threw down a few bucks if they were good. Germany was different, and I was told you can tip 10% by my waitresses, and did, even if they were lying. Anyway, back to the topic, blacks are the worst tippers. The place I worked at, a black chick I worked with hated taking black tables. I think it's reverse slavery or something.

30 buck tip is good thats what youd get paid for mowing a lawn in the hood

I didn't know Burger King, Carls Jr and Popeyes had waiters.
-

Good tip for mowing a lawn, but he serviced a group of people that paid 900 bucks combined, thats quite a lowball. Considering he probably had to wait hand over foot on each one, thats a pretty shitty tip.
-

that's why most restaurants charge an automatic 18% for groups of 6/8 or more.

On another related topic I have a niece that waits on tables at a seaside bar restaurant. It's a beer, burger and onion rings kind of place. On weekends they have a band. She makes over $1000 dollars cash in tips a night. She would work as a teacher Monday to Friday. On Friday, Sat. and Sun she would pocket around 3K cash.

Guys....I'll tip 20% when the service is good, about 25% when it is very good, and 30% or more and a talk with a manager when the service is excellent. I know the good ones work hard.
But no freakin way I'm giving 15/20% to some "Occupy Wall Streeter" because he/she feels I'm obligated.
-
lol @ oldtimer believing the piles of cash his niece is flashing is from her weekend job at the local burger shack ::) ;D
No it's not a burger shack you idiot but a place that can fit hundreds of people in a shore town that has million dollar homes jerk off. Even waitors in a typical burger joint can pick up 200 a day in tips. Working from 6 P to 2 AM waiting on tables running up tabs from $50 to $200 plus adds up. You must live in a hillbilly area where every one leaves a buck on the table.
-
I gave a chick 100 tip once.
She act like she didn't want to take it ::)
-
lol @ oldtimer believing the piles of cash his niece is flashing is from her weekend job at the local burger shack ::) ;D
Hehe. 1k a night. Right. That means she would be racking, say, 10k per shift. That's some 'restaurant.'

Jizzacked are you suggesting that she might be blowing old men in a motel room for $200 a pop rather than making minimum wage at a "beer, burger and onion rings kind of place."?
remember that at the weekend they have a band and the patrons own million dollar houses.
-
I can't imagine the misery of being a waiter in a Red Lobster
;D
-
When I was a kid one of my first jobs was waiting tables,
and I can tell you from experience that blacks either give shitty or no tips,
or they'll overcompensate due to the perception of them as bad tippers and give really good tips.
Usually it's the former (no tip).
The worst tippers by far are Indians (native American). If you get a tip out of an Indian you'll feel like you're in the twilight zone.

Wow, you hurt me so bad, how can I ever go on? :-\ :-\
The reality is is that a lot of people make minimum wage or less. A waiter should do his job because he is getting paid to do his job, with or without tips. You shouldn't not give good service to black people because they may not tip as much as white people. Like I said, if they don't like that fact, they could quit. I never told them to be a waiter.

No, actually, I have a good job and am far from poor.
And I do tip. However, I tip when its deserved, and not because I have to. If the service is poor, Im not going to give a tip. Why should I?

So Firday night all her buddies are going out and she's off to work to sling hash at 6pm till 2am then Back at it again Saturday night then back again Sunday night, home at 3am MOnday Morning, up 3 hours later for home room?? LOL Get the fuck out of here you old geeezer lol ::)

Im not the stereotypical billionaire getbigger, lol, we eat where we can justifiably afford to. Im not going to go spend 50 bucks/person for lunch lol.
Thats why you PACK a lunch dummy :P

waiters and blacks = both losers so who cares.......

waiters and blacks = both losers so who cares.......
You guys are fucking culturally ignorant, its not the kneegrows fault kfc dont allow tipping.
-
No, actually, I have a good job and am far from poor.
And I do tip. However, I tip when its deserved, and not because I have to. If the service is poor, Im not going to give a tip. Why should I?
First you said you don't, now you say you do??
Yeah, if the service is bad of course you don't tip. What's yer point? ???
-
Do black patrons tip black waiters?
-
First you said you don't, now you say you do??
Yeah, if the service is bad of course you don't tip. What's yer point? ???
Oh really? I said, "Who said leaving a tip is required? In most jobs people dont get tipped. You dont like it, quit."
I never once said I don't tip. I said, "who said leaving a tip is required" meaning if I don't want to, I shouldn't have to. It is not a REQUIREMENT.
I also said, "in most jobs people dont get tipped." This is not indicating that I don't tip. Just pointing out an observable fact.
I also said, "you don't like it, quit" Again, there is no indication that I never tip. Its saying that if you dont like that people dont tip, then you can always quit your job. Never said I don't tip, just stating that if they are pissed about their job, find a new one.
Okay, I am done ;D ;D
-
Blacks are notorious bad tippers. I have a black friend and she always tips very well to avoid being part of that stigma. When I worked in the casino industry however Asians were good tippers to the dealers but whites were not.
-
imagine working at a TGIF PR Applebees in Harlem or Brooklyn? forget going postal - a waiter would just shoot those fools.
-
Do you work at a restaurant
Just a sardonic attempt at humor is all.

I better get to deleting my Craigslist ad.

Newflashs: black people hate white people, and brainwashed white people force themselve to love black people because they re neutered pussies who dont want to hurt their feelings.
Were your parents bigots?
-
The first problem is thinking that waiting tables is a way to make a living. It's a job that requires no qualifications and should be filled by students or unemployed people living with their parents.
-
There is a local bar that has a party every year, and thousands of people show up and drink all day. I have heard the bartenders make over $5,000 each and the waitresses make $3,000 each. Not normal, but not bad for one day of hell. Oh, mostly whites attend(no racist).
-
i hate it when they say "hi, im XXXX and Ill be taking care of you" shut up and bring me my chicken wings.
PS i tip 20% unless the service is shitty, then 10%
-
i don't understand why these fucks expect fucking tips ???
they take your order and carry the food to your table. hardly rocket science now is it ::)
its called the service industry, you cheapass
-
Completely understandable. They really don't. The most noticeable time I can remember from being a waiter was when I had a $250 bill and provided excellent service, and had no tip.
-
its called the service industry, you cheapass
my argument is that you shouldn't be required to tip. the tight arsed management should be paying decent wages to begin with. then if you want to tip for good service then so be it..
does tipping still happen in expensive, posh restaurants ???
-
Maybe they should um, demand more pay? Fools. Only in America.
What does this even mean? Does America have a reputation for not asking for more pay?
-
Completely understandable. They really don't. The most noticeable time I can remember from being a waiter was when I had a $250 bill and provided excellent service, and had no tip.
I am a part of a pentecostal church, and we have a whole spectrum of cultures/races in the congregation - so one night i'm out with a few of the married couples and that night it just so happens that out of 8 couples only myself and wife were not a black couple - rest from jamaica/nigeria/zim..........so anyway all of our friends were really demanding and spoke down to the waitresses a bit (not rude just a bit short if you know what I mean) so at the end of a lovely meal, we are all putting the bill together and I put an extra Ł10 ($20) on top for the great service.
Sad thing was as we are leaving, I notice only my solitary tip on the table next to the cash for the bill. These are christian/otherwise generous who would give you their left arm if you needed it - so can only be the black culture to blame I suppose for why they don't tip.

Waiter Racism Survey Shows 40 Percent Of Waiters Discriminate Against Black Customers
Posted: 04/24/2012 11:32
Many waiters give inferior service to African-American customers, according to a new survey.
The study, published in the Journal of Black Studies, found that 40 percent of waiters admit they discriminate against black customers because of a perception they don't tip as much as white patrons, according to the Daily Mail.
"Many people believe that race is no longer a significant issue in the United States,’ Sarah Rusche, co-author of a paper describing the study, told the Mail. "But the fact that a third of servers admit to varying their quality of service based on customers' race, often giving African-Americans inferior service, shows that race continues to be an issue in our society."
The survey is based on interviews with 200 waiters at various large chain restaurants in North Carolina and, as the Examiner notes, 87 percent of those surveyed were white.
The survey found that blacks were typically described as “picky,” “demanding,” and “rude,” the Examiner reported.
According to the article's authors, the research shows a "continuing significance of race in contemporary society." The authors also encouraged "further research on this relatively neglected area of inquiry."

Does anyone know if, in fact, African Americans are generally poor tippers? It would seem to me some waitstaff might discriminate against anyone who was a poor tipper, such as young folks often are. Unfortunately, it is just human nature for us to form opinions based on experience which causes us to generalize. So if a lot of folks in a particular group tip poorly, most all folks fitting that description might be discriminated against.
My wife and I tip well, especially when the service is good. More often than not, we get really great service when we eat out. We are senior citizens. I don't know if senior citizens have a good or bad reputation when it comes to tipping. What I do know is that our showing appreciation for good service has resulted in us almost always getting it everywhere we go.
In contrast, when the service is very poor, we do not hesitate to complain about it. However, this seldom happens and we eat out frequently.

As I said earlier, I used to wait tables with a black waiter. He said he didn't tip when he went out. In his words, it was: "Mo money for me. Mo drink money, and mo party money."
-
yes, the only restaurants where its not 'required' to tip are those that have no servers
right..
servers and waiters not the same thing ?
-
Just change the title that 40% of people in general discriminate. Probably more.
-
right..
servers and waiters not the same thing ?
yes
-
Because they get paid less than 5 dollars an hour before tipping that's why.
In california waiters get california min wage.. which is 8 something.. plus tips.. i know in ga they get somethin like 3 bucks.. that has to suck

from my experience white trash, mexicans, blacks, africans, east asians, indians, middle easterners happen to be bad tippers
oh i forgot, gypsies might be the worse not only do they not tip they also try to get free food
-
east asians, indians, middle easterners
on the same token these ethnic restaurant tend to provide bad service

What are some of your favorite local restaurants?
My wife and I eat out for breakfast mostly. We frequent several restaurants which are close to where we live in West Linn, OR.
Yesterday, we went to Shari's in Willamette. Shari's is a chain. There prices are moderate. My wife really enjoys the strawberry crepes. That is what she had for breakfast yesterday. I enjoy their potato pancakes now that they changed the recipe to make them more basic.
Sunday morning, we took my sister who had been house sitting for us for several days to Biscuit's for brunch. Biscuits is about two miles from our house. I had biscuits and gravy with basted eggs and bacon. My sister ordered a Greek omelet. Toby, our waitperson is moving back to her home town in a week. We are going have breakfast at Biscuits on her last day so we can take her a card and wish her well for the future. She is the best waitress we have ever enjoyed knowing. She will be sorely missed by many.
Easter Sunday, we made reservations at 503 a local eatery. This is a fairly high end restaurant. However, it is definitely a neighborhood restaurant as it is relatively small. Everything they make is delicious. We had a several course breakfast meal which we languished over for almost two hours. Their Bloody Mary's are great!
The list of restaurants in our area is long. They range in price, starting with fast food restaurants which are so inexpensive that they are cheaper than cooking at home. The other night, I drove down to Taco Del Mar for taco salads for dinner. Two taco salads to go came to less than $12. You cannot fix them at home for that price. Then there are some higher end local establishments like Bugatti's Italian restaurant where a dinner for two can run about $150.
Frankly, we are a bit spoiled here in West Linn. There are so many choices of places to eat meals out. And if we want to drive a little further, Portland has many, many excellent restaurants, such as: Blue Hour, The Ringside, Jake's and many, many others.
The funny thing about us eating out so often is that both my wife and I enjoy cooking. She is the better cook, although I tend to experiment more and will make more elaborate meals. One of my signature dishes is vichyssoise.
-
I think its a reverse racism and payback thing. They love the idea of bing in charge and bein served for once.
I see when i am in a restuarant like TGIF or Applebees or Charlie Browns and some fat disgusting greasy thug is just sitting there flowing out of the chair bossing the wait staff around like he owns the place.
"Yo - get me some more ketchup."
"Yo - there aint enough cheese on this bitch"
"Yo - when you come back i wants another beer (half already done) - dis one be cold yo."
"Yo - you take this coupon in here?"
"Yo - tell the chef this steak aint cooked right . . . and also bring me some extra bread too"
etc etc.

Are you being serious???
In my entire life, I have never experienced such behavior in a restaurant. Proprietors have the right to refuse service. I would imagine that they'd exercise that right with customers as rude as the one you describe. No waitstaff should have to put up with people talking to them like that.
Some of the waiters in restaurants here in the Portland area are Latino or African American. Do you think this would make a difference in how someone who is also a minority would treat the waitstaff?
Oh, and don't tell me this mainly happens in New York City because I've spent some time in New York and I still have not ever witnessed anyone of any race speaking thusly to their server.
-
Maybe they should get a little sign for the table saying "I tip 15% - its ok to serve me" and they would get better service?
Maybe that should be rephrased like this for better service
I'm black, proud, & a little sentimental at times, but "I tip 15% - its ok to serve me".
-
Not Manhattan since the blacks have been pushed out.
The real shit goes down in Brooklyn, Bronx, Yonkers, Mt Vernon, etc.

Everything in that article is true except for this line: "The study, published in the Journal of Black Studies, found that 40 percent of waiters admit they discriminate against black customers because of a perception they don't tip as much as white patrons, according to the Daily Mail."
It's not a perception, it's a fact. Blacks are the worst tippers out of all races. I waited and bartended for about 5 years, and blacks were by far the worst tippers. I would give them the best service possible, so there would be no excuse for a shitty tip, and they would still tip shitty. There was a black guy that waited tables with me, and I told him he needed to talk to his people and get them to start fucking tipping. He said, "Shit, I don't tip either when I go out to eat!" I said, "What the fuck do you mean, you wait tables and you don't tip other waiters?" He said, "Yep, that's just mo party money, and mo drink money for me." His name was Rob, and he was a sorry mother fucker.
Bottom line is, it doesn't matter how stellar your service is towards blacks, 95% of them are terrible tippers.
I like the way you put that - that 'he needs to talk too his people'
ROFL... ;D
P.S. Report this post to Jesse Jackson so he can have a talk with this gentleman. :)
-
i worked as a partime bartender for weddings and banquets for a few years
blacks in general weren't good tippers and they were easily the biggest complainers
they weren't the worst though, anybody over 65 and anybody with a foreign accent was worse than blacks
women in general also aren't good tippers, they could seem like the kindest and sweetest girl around and you were still lucky to get a dollar from them, they ordered drinks that take effort to make (unlike guys) and tell you how great it tastes and still often times no tip
guys are much more generous with money than women

Nice, I hear a lot of good things about Biscuits just haven't tried them yet. I don't go to West Linn much but I'm pretty close in Gresham. I have taken a few friends to Jakes, probably the most expensive meal I ever bought. And Sharis wouldn't say I love them but since it's 24hrs I tend to go there a lot. Speaking of 24 hr you need to try the Original Pancake house it's roughly on SE 12th and Powell. But speaking of tips I tip ok but make it a point to really take care of waite staff that I know from being a regular. Also my number 1 determination of the tip will be if my glass is kept full. I don't care if they are rude or if the food is shitty as long as I always have something to drink.

No doubt you are correct about this, based on your personal experience. However, my wife and I both tip reasonably well at 20% or better and we are both over 65. I never tip a bartender less than a buck per drink and often more. I usually put a $1 in the tip jar at Starbucks when I get a drink. Neither of us is African American nor do we have foreign accents unless we are in traveling in a foreign (non-English speaking) country. Speaking of which, it is a good idea to study the tip culture in foreign countries before traveling there. For example, according to my German daughter-in-law, it is poor form to tip generously in Germany. Perhaps this is because the waitstaff are better paid there.
-
both were socialist hippies. You fail.
Questions can fail?
How did you become a bigot?
-
Truth be told blacks don't tip :-\
I heard that. I don't know from experience because, "it stays pretty white, pretty late up here".
-
Cause they are getting paid $2.13 an hour, dumbass.
They rely on tips to make a living, this shit ain't rocket science
That!
-
well increase there pay and up the price of food to cover the costs
lol @ tipping.. what a joke.
-
If you are a low tipper, you should never eat in the same place twice. :-X Many people don't tip, or under tip. Most places put tip on check for parties of 6, or more... :'(
-
This is spot on. we tip here in the UK only if the service is above what they get paid for. a waitress gets paid the same as a cashier and you wouldn't tip them for packing your bags. a certain level of service is expected any less and you call a manager any more they go home with more money.
Wages in the UK may be more equitable then they are in the States for waitpersons. A checker at the grocery store here makes better wages than most of the folks working in restaurants. Actually, many folks tip the bagger. This is certainly true at a PX in Europe.
-
Who said leaving a tip is required? In most jobs people dont get tipped. You dont like it, quit.
Say this when you go to a restaurant and it is serve yourself only.
-

Why am I not at all surprised you'd post something asinine like this?
-
Say this when you go to a restaurant and it is serve yourself only.
People offer service to other people all the time in a variety of different jobs. Do you always tip them? No.
-
my argument is that you shouldn't be required to tip. the tight arsed management should be paying decent wages to begin with. then if you want to tip for good service then so be it..
does tipping still happen in expensive, posh restaurants ???
This is were waitstaff make the most money from tips.

My wife and I have been to the Original Hotcake House on Powell. It's a fun place. The Original Pancake House is on S.W. Barbur Blvd. It has been there since 1953. They've never expanded at this location despite the fact that they are busy every day. The wait for a table is usually about an hour. Their German pancakes are excellent....as is pretty much everything there.
Like my dad once said, if the food is good, the customers will flock to the restaurant regardless of where it is (and apparently, no matter how long the wait is for a table).
I am not too familiar with restaurants in Gresham. I rarely get out that way. Last night, I was at a meeting at Papa's Pizza on 169th and Stark. The management gave us four extra free pizzas. Too bad I am not a huge fan of pizza.

I was a waiter in college...there were black people I wanted to throw a beating on...there were white people I wanted to stomp....Hispanics? don't get me fucking started. And the jews...oh man...at least they weren't italians or asians. Asians...WTF? Where do you even come from?
I probably shouldn't have been allowed to interact with the public at large...

I did suck as a waiter....met some really great women though. Best table I ever waited on was a black guy with this really great looking woman. I brought out their food and I didn't get five from from the table when he asked me if I could wrap it up for him. I looked down and saw that his woman had her bare foot in his crotch. I looked at her and she just licked her lips and winked. I wrapped that order right on up and got them out of there....they left me $20 on a $50 tab...

There is a thread going already here about the black family who were made pay the tip - http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=424516.0
I posted my experiences as a 20 yr old student when I went to America for the Summer as a student. Blacks were by far the worst and rudest customers I experienced. I'm gonna repost what I said here.
I was a waiter in Myrtle Beach for 3 months while I was a student (7 years ago). I gave EVERYONE the same crack of the whip no matter what race they were. Black, white, hispanic, whatever - I was nice to them ALL. I went to America not really racist but I left quite racist after how badly blacks acted and had such a bad chip on their shoulder and rarely tipped. Their attitude was sickening to me. It left me with a bad taste in my mouth that is still strong. I fucking HATED seeing them after a month or two and generally avoided black tables.
a few examples
The only cool black table were a group of guys my age, about 4 of them. They actually tipped me the standard. 5 minutes after they left the hostess was looking for her phone, it was stolen. They were the first table in and out that afternoon (it was definitely them, lol)
2 black guys in their 30's came in and acted like twats. My gf told me after one of them asked her "had she ever had any black cos he had never had any white ass" and she never told me 'till they were gone because she knew shit would have went down bad (I was OFF THE HOOK crazy back then).
I was keeping an eye on them while she served them and they tried to leave without paying but I stopped 'em.
Also...
If a table of 4-5 came in, they would get buffet and sit down for maybe 2 hours and eat plate and plate of crab legs and steak and then just leave a 5 dollar tip between them and walk out like they owned the joint. Jesus, that used to make me rage because they'd complain about the food but eat it anyway and expect discount lol
-
A lot of poor white trash here that can't afford to tip. ;D

It left me with a bad taste in my mouth that is still strong. I fucking HATED seeing them after a month or two and generally avoided black tables.
a few examples
The only cool black table were a group of guys my age, about 4 of them. They actually tipped me the standard. 5 minutes after they left the hostess was looking for her phone, it was stolen. They were the first table in and out that afternoon (it was definitely them, lol)
2 black guys in their 30's came in and acted like twats. My gf told me after one of them asked her "had she ever had any black cos he had never had any white ass" and she never told me 'till they were gone because she knew shit would have went down bad (I was OFF THE HOOK crazy back then).
I was keeping an eye on them while she served them and they tried to leave without paying but I stopped 'em.
Also...
If a table of 4-5 came in, they would get buffet and sit down for maybe 2 hours and eat plate and plate of crab legs and steak and then just leave a 5 dollar tip between them and walk out like they owned the joint. Jesus, that used to make me rage because they'd complain about the food but eat it anyway and expect discount lol
Very interesting to have a "foreigners" view of how things are here in the U.S.A.
I live in a part of the country where only 1% of the population is black. Realistically, I don't experience these issues as would someone where the black population is of a higher percentage.

come to the Bronx NY. Those white panzie ass liberals who claim to be the most tolerant often become worse rackets than anyone when they actually have to deal with this shit on a day to day basis.
most white leftists like yourself are far removed from the natural outcome of the policies you advocate.

Perhaps it is needless to say, but those African Americans who live in the same suburb as I do are likely not thugs or ghetto trash as we have no low income housing in West Linn, OR. However, nothing lasts forever. No doubt someday, West Linn will be part of the inner city of Portland, OR. However, even today the percentage of minorities in Portland is much lower than in other cities.
My daughter, son-in-law and grandson presently live in El Paso, TX. Whites are a minority in El Paso. Hispanics are the majority population.

Cool. The restaurant business is tough from what I hear. Jake's is part of a large chain now, since McCormick and Schmick's was bought out.
In 1972, William "Bill" McCormick purchased Jake's Famous Crawfish and hired Doug Schmick as his manager. Several years later, the pair formed a partnership that would later become the restaurant chain McCormick & Schmick's.
Tilman Feritta, owner of Landry's Inc., sealed the deal to acquire McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurants Inc. Tuesday.
McMinnville is a fair distance away from where I live just to eat out. Maybe, I'll look for that restaurant on the way to the beach next time we go.

I rarely tip. Very very rarely. It's so rare that I receive service that's tip-worthy anyway. I was in the States a last month with work and in America it's expected to tip. Naturally I would make a point NOT tipping due to the expectations. You're not getting fuck all Betty Sue unless I see them teeth smiling and a spring in that step. Here in Britain it's not expected ... or if it is, I wouldn't notice anyway. In Europe, Slovakia and Hungary especially I remember, being a water seems to be a career choice so it's incredibly professional without being overbearing. I always tip.

You seem cheap.
In some countries waitstaff are paid a decent living wage. However, in the U.S. this is most often not the case and they are paid minimum wage. Without the tips they can't make enough money to survive. Working in food service, regardless of where one is is a career choice....however short that career may end up being. I worked for a couple of restaurants when I was in my late teens. At one I was a cashier, another I worked in the kitchen as a sou chef. I once worked at a restaurant in Santa Monica as a busboy/cashier. I hated the work. It had nothing to do with tips or rude customers though. Maybe this is why my foodservice career was very shortlived.

Well..we fuck your mothers when they can no longer be satisfied by your fathers..by doing this, we keep white families together so that mom can tolerate you dad's shortcommings by getting satisfied elsewhere by a black guy...this way you don';t have to cry in divorce court begging mommy and daddy to stay together :)
