Tipping on a percent basis is classist.
    #5937712 - 08/06/06 05:13 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

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 usualy tip $5-$10 no matter what it is, I figure that's a good tip for anything.

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."

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.

Nah, that just ends up being bad karma for you, then. Just let them be, give them the least amout of service possible, and get it over with as soon as possible. The only other women that tip worse than black women are women from India. There's a term for Indian women: Rice, Spice, and no ice.:grin:

That's not necessarily true. Alot of Europeans don't have to tip, in their home country, so they are kind of ignorant of the procedure, if they are just visiting. Most know our customs, though.

I would have tipped better if I hadn't just paid $40 for 2 martinis and a plate of curry which came on a serving table that had edges crusted with salt like an inch thick in the corners. Maybe I just ate somewhere out of my price range but I couldn't afford to tip and I was grossed out a bit by the tray it came on.

I usualy got great tips from kids and foriegners, both are claimed to be lousy tippers, my best 3 ever were from some kids that left eerything in their pockets
including gum, string, a DK button and about a buck (the girl I worked with thought it was an insulting tip)

another was a $100 from someone that never tipped most waitresses, he didnt wanna hear anything about their problems, just pour his coffee, serve his food and pleasant chit chat

the other was an inter-racial couple that was treated like shit everywhere they went, I just treated them like I do everyone else, they left 3 dollars but gave me a note that was worth much more than the money, I almost cried

I guess another difference is here people serving food are paid at least $8 it's not like they're depending on tips it's just a nice bonus. I think at the end of a shift the tips are usually split.

to have a great deal of influence in political decisions and managed to keep the
wage low, now with the inflation rate, people here cant even aford to drive to

Ive had so many arguments with young black women, the older ones are usually very nice. Its amazing how a mass of people can be steretypical, dont get me started on the Insane Housewifes.
