Never Tipping 1

I'm eating lobster at Red Lobster and not going to tip anymore.
Some people never tip, but say they do....just like recycling. They never do though.
I bet I could save over $200 a year.

Servers are overpaid anyway.

Hopefully you don't keep going to the same Red Lobster, or you're going to get spit in your butter sauce.

That's a dick thing to do, and servers are not overpaid.
When times have been hard in the past I've fallen back on serving in fine-dining joints and bartending at a nightclub. I made 2.13 an hour, +tips.
Granted, I usually walked out with 50% of my sales dollars in tips, so I was pretty well-off for a young person. All of my bills were paid, and I had some money left to play with.

servers are paid 2.50 an hour.
if you don't tip we don't pay the bills.
Of course there was this same exact thread a few months ago, but I can assure you it's a bitch move to not tip. Try being a server and see how easy it is. In restaurants like the one I work in, where there aren't servers assistants and you are responsible for greeting, seating, watering, learning about and informing the costumers on the nightly special, being knowledgeable on wine and serving it in the proper way, running food and collecting money, all the while being polite, helpful and graceful in your movements/not dropping food or breaking shit. It is real physical work.
don't be a douche, tip your server or eat at home.

Sounds like you were well paid after all.
Servers are among the most highly paid of all entry level workers. I was a server and a pizza driver for years, I made much more than I deserved and I liked it, but I know I didn't deserve it. I was overpaid.

bills are just some construct of the man to get you to pay money to huge evil corporations for supplying you with what's already free and stuff they dont own anyway... stop giving in to those douchebags

That's why you open a tab so you can not tip at the very end.

Darden restaurants just started a new tip sharing process so servers are giving more to busboys and it's actually mandated. They still make plenty of money though, and I tip depending on service but I'm never a dick about it I always leave something.

ya that last thread a couple months back was pretty fucking lame... I'm a bartender, so i make my living off of tips. If you don't want to tip me that's fine but if I see you back in my bar you're not gonna get good service. 
if you can afford to go out, you can afford to give me $1 to make your drink. If you choose not to because you feel like I don't deserve it, then I'll stiff you on your next one...
what goes around comes around
edit: although i do agree that tips are conditional based on service. If i get really bad service, my tip reflects that. That's a tool for the servers though, because if they see a small tip it might make them think "maybe my service was bad" as opposed to not tipping which leaves the server thinking "wow that cheap fuck didn't even tip me..."

depends where you live. in my state servers are paid at least $8.50 an hour. minimum wage is the same for all jobs here. which makes being a server an awesome job rather than a shitty job. i don't care when people don't tip here. its not like they deserve tips any more than any other minimum wage job in this state.
