Selfish? Why the fuck do they ASSUME I am going to tip. They should just raise the waiters wage, raise price of food, and that way I wont have to tip. I mean you know the saying about assumptions I am sure. I am not an ass. I want hot food, good service at no extra cost. Good service should be a staple at resturants and with good service people will come back.
They only assume that you respect the customs of the society in which you live. Those of us who understand that we have a responsibility to that society - beyond what is enforced - know that we can count on adding about 15% to a restaurant check. It is voluntary, just as saying thank you is voluntary. Wages have been adjusted because the service industry assumes most people understand this custom.
Good service is a staple at most restaurants, as is tipping.

EDIT: I mean who made up the rule that they could lower you below minimum wage just on the assumption the customer would tip. Fuck that. Get a real job if you care that much. Factory work pays good.
They can't do that where I live. I agree with you there, that's retarded. Minimum wage should be the minimum wage.
I love how any thread about tipping gets people up in arms 
Oh yeah another thing:
Anybody who spits/pisses/whatever into somebody's food (or witnesses someone doing it and doesn't say anything) is a fucking scumbag. That kind of shit is MUCH worse than not tipping. A person who would do that would serve us best by killing themselves. I'd give them a huge tip for that.

Hell if I could, I would go to the kitchen window, place my order, get my own drink, and pick up my food. But I cannot. So am i forced to pay for an unwanted service? I go to resturants to get somewhat quick, hot, good meals. I do not want the waiter service. Can you op out ono the waiter in order not to tip? that would be the option I choose.
this is directed to no one in particular, just waiters/waitresses.
i agree. luckily the tipping culture is relaxed over here. tip if you have money to spend, otherwise keep it.

Take-out is for people who do not want waiter service or a delivery driver.

Some of them do, definitely not most. I definitely think you should tip something, unless they were really bad. But assuming you will be tipped a certain percent is ridiculous.

In my area... most restaurants have takeout. All the restaurants in strip malls here do it. Even sit down restaurants like Outback and Fridays have take out.

lavod said: 93 Being another former restaurant worker for years, I have noticed this as well. $5 is also a very common tip regardless of the check. And my former black co-workers usually recieved the same treatment. Of course, this is not a racist thing, but a purely objective observation that african-americans tend to be poor tippers far more frequently than caucasians. Other poor tippers are usually Asians, Russians, and Indians/Bengalis. The best tippers happen to be american caucasians and western europeans(especially spaniards). Again, an objective observation and not always the case. Oh yeah, this is in the eastern u.s., could be different elsewhere. 93 93/93
Spaniards, at least in Spain are awful tippers, but then there is a lot of enfasis over here that if you go to the U.S. you have to tip 15%.
Romanians are good tippers in my experience. I just got 100 dollars off a group of them for 3 days work waiting at a conference stand (plus my wages)

I worked in the retaurant biz forthe last 26 years.I have asked a few "black" people why this is true.Two of them told me that this was a way to get back at the white man,no kidding,this is what they said to me.one said they just do not want to tip anyone white or black.
I also worked in mississippi at a casino,the ratio of nontipping blacks to tipping blacks was better,but still not as many.Some people are just a certain way when it comes to tipping.I have also seen black people not want to wait on other black people saying they don't tip!!!
Any time a group of black people would come in the word in the back o the house was,"YOU GOT A BLACKTOP!".The whole fucking restaurant thing finally burned me out,I am back in school now to be an RN.
