Tipping on a percent basis is classist.

Why should you tip higher for a more expensive meal if the waiter does the same amount of work? I went to Denny's this morning and gave 3 bucks for an 8 dollar meal considering this principal. However, I've yet to low-ball anyone at a more spendy joint.
What do you think?

I use a percentage as a guideline but it's always adjustable from there. If I don't like a waiter I just won't tip. I was at this one place and the waiter remembered my name and used it frequently, he brought me a paper, but the whole time i just felt like a prospect for a big tip so I didn't.

I tend to tip based on the service I recieve, if the place is busy as hell and I never have to look for my waitron unit, then a hefty tip is in order, if it';s slow and I'm begging everyone that passes my table for a refil or asking where my appetizer is, 12 cents is what will be left. there have been time when I've tipped in excess of the bill because I saw just how hard the waiter was working he was taking care of his tables as well as a couple for another waitress and once in a high brow place because the waitress was thrilled to see normal people instead of a bunch of stuffed shirts
we created quite the ruckus because the 'audience' was staring from the moment we walked in

I worked as a bartender and as a waiter, I know how hard the job can be, on holidays especialy, I also tend to watch how servers interact and the extras they do for customers as well as other employees, I had a group of 10 black people come in one night, the men sat at one table, the women at another, the men were great and tipped well, the women were total bitches, wanted food put on to-go plates complained about every little thing... not even a nickle...

because they didnt like people that were not like them I would assume I'd have expected it of the men before the women, after they asked to have their food moved to to-go plates I told them they had to eat outside

When you go to work at your job, your goal is to make money, yes? Why should it be any different for a waiter? Maybe you thought you were sending a message: "Please don't give me such good service." But the message you really sent was, "I'm a reeeeeaaaal asshole."

I tip based on quality of service and the amount of the bill.

Black Women rarely rarely tip, and they always are bitching about the food or something to find to bitch about.

Yeah, most waitors make like 2.13 an hour and they depend on people's civility to pay their bills. I understand that you should tip shitty if you get shitty service, but to not tip and get great service? That's just being a dick and showing that you have no class. If you don't want to tip, go eat fast food, or cook your own shit. I have given many cheap fucks their dollar tips back and said that obviously they need it worse than I do. It's really just more proof that the general public consists of cheap, degenerate assholes.
