They do. Aren't there cafeteria style restaurants or restaurants where you pay first at a cashier and then sit down and eat by where you live?

Its like when im out eating..im not even thinking of the tip. it doesnt ever cross my mind until i get the check. I think quickly "should i give 20% or more" and i proceed to give what i see fit


people that go in and immediately start judging the whole experience based on the tip is literally opposite of what i do :shrug:

and i go out to eat A LOT. i did every single night basically for 2 years when i ran into a large inheritance

if something was 40 dollars..i gave 60-65. If something was 20..i gave 30.




Shit you're a big tipper. You're tipping close to 50% or more if you're paying a total of $60 to 65 on a $40 check.

I've only tipped 50% a few times in my life. One, it has to be a place that I go to regularly and a place where the staff knows me and remember me. And two, even then I only tip 50% if my check is less than $20.

Because like I said, at that point, the difference between a 30% gratuity and a 50% gratuity is only like a couple of dollars. So might as well pay an extra $3 or whatever and make the server happy, that's $2 or $3 I probably would have spent on gum or something else stupid anyway. At that point you're literally only counting cents by doing exact percentages, so just round up.

How much I tip depends a lot on which state I'm tipping in too. In California, servers make a $10 minimum wage on top of tips. So they're basically making a lot more than other people who work shittier jobs in retail and things like that. Being a chef is a million times harder and more brutal than serving, and they make a lot less than servers do in California. So I generally tip closer to 15-18% in California.

But if I'm in any other state, I know that servers usually make practically nothing hourly. So I will tip almost double what I would ordinarily tip in California.

By a sit-down style restaurant I mean one with table service, same format but with only the payment scheme changed. There are of course restaurants here where you pay first at a cashier, any fast food place works like that.

Yeah, but I'm talking about restaurants that are a little higher-tier than fast food. Better quality food and more comfortable seating so you can sit for longer periods of time.

I know a couple restaurants out there are experimenting with "no tipping" style of service. There's a couple Michelin star restaurants in Manhattan that pay their servers $15 an hour, and they strongly discourage patrons from tipping the staff.

But of course these places can afford to do it, Michelin star restaurants typically charge $100-$200 per head.

Personally if I was a server at one of these expensive restaurants, I'd probably prefer to be tipped out than paid hourly.

OK, yeah I'm not aware of any restaurants of the first type in this area but that might be my style. The second type is more what I was imagining, only not that expensive.

You don't eat out enough nor do you watch your server to know nor do you probably even go over your check to make sure they didn't overcharge you, so HOW would you even KNOW if it was bad or not?




1) How do you know how often I eat out? I eat out 3 times a week some weeks.
2) I don't need to incessantly watch my server every minute that I'm spending at the restaurant because I'm not a crazy person.
3) I do go over the check to make sure they didn't overcharge me, in fact this was something that I taught my last boyfriend to do, because he mentioned getting overcharged on a bill one time without even noticing it. That's something I've always done out of habit. I also always check my grocery store receipt and other receipts to make sure I got the appropriate discounts and everything too.

Quote:


Sometimes not, some are chit chatting and texting or one waitress we had was actually putting on make-up instead of doing it at home before she came in(it opened at 11a.m., we got there when it opened).  So NOT always HONESTLY.




I don't mind if they're chit-chatting or texting, if they are it's probably because the restaurant is running slow and there's not that many customers. That, or they've finished everything they need to do and are trying to kill time because they're waiting for food orders to come out from the kitchen.

Quote:


That's because you have no IDEA what's going on that you aren't checking anything or paying any attention nor do you probably even count if the server apologizes or not in the tip as I do since I am VERY SENSITIVE.




Um.... kay?

2. FORGETTING to put in an order. My husband and I have experienced this for REAL that servers ADMITTED to our faces they have FORGOTTEN TO PUT ORDERS IN. All of them were appetizers, bar drinks, and a cup of soup.

3. Did you put in the order CORRECTLY into the computer? Have had many times servers ADMITTED to our faces they did not do that correctly. Have had wrong entrées before due to our server putting in the order wrong. Have had wrong bar drinks too due to the server putting in the order wrong.

4. Did you FORGET ANYTHING I ORDERED such as a SIDE DISH? We have had this happen a number of times as well.

5. Did you DROP anything I ordered? Luckily, we have not had this happen, but I have seen a server once drop some fries from a plate before and I did have a waiter spill some margarita martini when pouring into a martini glass. In other words, it is possible, not likely, but very possible.




Yeah, that happens sometimes. Servers are human, they apologize when it happens, and there's no need to take it so personally.

Belive it or not, some people actually like to spend their leisurely time sitting down at a restaurant, they don't want to receive their food in a rush and leave in a hurry.

I also can't believe you spend that much time writing that entire thing out. You are over-analyzing and over-criticizing this way too much and blowing these things out of proportion. Makes me wonder if you've ever had to worry about anything legitimate in your entire life before.

those lies would be your lies, much of what you say is things that didnt happen,
that you did not witness and you even state this fact. so you're the one that
lied all to make yourself feel better about not tipping

Funny how the person who claims to be the most sensitive little flower is also the same person who screams at people and calls them idiots and morons simply for disagreeing.  :bored: I guess they're only sensitive about their own selves, and not about the feelings of other people. Self-absorbed much?

It's kinda sad really. How can anyone remain so infuriated about a topic like this for almost an entire decade? Why not just cook at home if restaurants are such a terrible experience?

It's actually borderline crazy to remain that infuriated about a topic that really shouldn't bother them that much. I'm just imagining what a micromanaging pain in the ass this person must be in real-life.

The epitome of first-world problems, mate.
