this is why i don't come on here, other than the fact that i am an asshole i guess.

the shroomery is the exact opposite of what it is portrayed to be.  i couldn't imagine what you guys would say to somebody who committed adultery.




agreed.

i only come on cause im really really really bored and like to fuck with people.

i have a feeling that 90% of the people on here arnt anything like that like to make their selfs out to be.

this reminds me of the old school chats where all the bitches in the room were 5'5 blond hair and blue eyes at 120 :lol:lbs.

This thread needs to be closed. Too many of these are made each year and it is the sane redundant shit all the time.

I don't really understand why people tend to tip based on the amount of the check.  There are a lot of things that are expensive because the materials used to make them cost more for the restaurant to buy (like new york strip steak vs. chicken fingers for example), but there isn't much difference in how difficult it is for the cook to prepare or the server to deliver to your table.  I tend to base my tip only on the quality of the service, and the amount of work that is involved in making and preparing my meal. That method just makes more sense to me.

Can someone answer this for me?

When you order food "to-go" from a restaurant, are you still expected to tip? I usually leave some sort of tip, but is it really necessary? Will they frown on you if you don't?




I don't think it's expected, but I still tip.

However, I don't tip my normal %, It's significantly lowered as there was no waiting on me.  I tend to tip 10-15% for these orders.. maybe a little more if they bring it out to the car.

Does nobody have any funny stories about tripping in restaurants? I know I have a good one and I know there has to be some more around here somewhere.

Please share!

I do not.. I don't think I could bring myself to go into a restaurant while tripping.

I have been into CVS and gas stations while tripping. :lol:  Good times.

I was working at a waffle house and this group of punk kids that lived
near by would  stop in every day for a little something to eat and
bullshit, anyway several times the manager asked me to boot them out and I
told her no, that they're paying customers, they dont cause any trouble
and I rely on their tips as well as everyone elses... one afternoon they
were short on cash, couldnt afford the tip thy usually leave (kids are
notorious for not tipping according to people I worked with) which was
almost the amount of the check, so they left what they had

it just so happened the manager was called to the table to look at the tip
by the drunken cunt I worked with and they both started laughing, I
scooped up my tip with a smile on my face and they wondered why I wasnt
insulted and pissed, I asked them, how often does anyone leave you their
life savings or most prized possessions for a tip?

they left me 3 cigarettes, a couple of pieces of gum, a polished rock and
a dead kennedys button, and if you dont agree that that's the best tip in
the world then you just dont know great tipping


but then again... you wanted tripping stories, a friend and I were
tripping in a waffle house and a cop came in, sat with us and started
telling us all his financial and woman troubles... less exciting than a tip

It is not really worth it to try and argue with people to get them to tip.  Those who don't "believe" in tipping won't do it, regardless of what you tell them. 

The response of "if you don't like it then quit" is really fucking dumb.  As a college student I have class all day and there are not a lot of job opportunities working at night that don't involve getting paid in tips.  Gee, I'm not making a ton of money, I better quit, that will surely improve my financial situation. :rollseyes:

One bad tipper will not make or break my night, so I don't let it affect me, it's on to the next. Does leaving no tip make you an evil person? No. Does it make you a total tool?  Imho, yes.

25% and up = :aweoverdose: :awesomenod:
20% = :awesome:
15% = :thumbup:
10% = :sad:
0%  = :shakefist:

Personally if someone leaves something I feel like my extra effort was appreciated, for me it doesn't really the matter the amount because I know that some have more than others to give, so even a small tip is appreciated (unless the bill is overly exuberant).  Also, I never add the mandatory gratuity if people want to give they will I don't think it should be forced upon anyone though.

i tip not a dime. hate the stigma associated with tipping.  why don't you tip the cooks, they're doing most the work?

ever tip anybody at a fast food joint?  they bust their asses there when they get a rush of people.




Also servers have to tip out the hostess/food runner/ w/e so know that when you come in and run up even a $50 tab w/o tipping it actually COSTS ME MONEY TO SERVE YOU. :shakefist: 

If you don't like to tip order your food takeout.





wow! you brought me out some food, you deserve extra money:rolleyes:

trust me, that doesn't happen everywhere.  I have a lot of friends as servers and they dont have to do that and if they did they would lie about what they took in for tips.  but of course, your the one honest guy in the world right?

and ill take my food any fucking way i like it! i am taking a large group of friends out to dinner later tonight and wont tip a cent!  quite crying already or find a new job.




:werd:

All they do is write the order down run it to the chef and bring it out to you. Thats it, and you demand a tip as common courtesy? :facepalm:

Do you guys eat at waffle house and dennys every time you go out or something?  My job involves more than just taking an order and running it out.  And no one is "demanding" tips.  You guys make it seem like whenever the check is brought out your server is up in your face like "Yo you better fucking tip me dude!!!"  If you can afford to go out to eat you can afford to throw down a couple bucks for tip.  It doesn't have to be a crazy amount, but leaving nothing is pretty weak.

Your not getting up in anybody's face but the sentiment is there its pretty obvious you see people who dont tip you as useless tools.
