- It doesn't matter how much the food costs. Always tip 20%

I mean that is uncool. Unless the service is horrible, leaving less than 15% isn't right. I generally always leave close to 20 too unless it's real bad.

Be happy with 15%

If you order a $45 dish, there's no need to tip 15% if the waiter did the same amount of work it takes to bring you a $8 dish.

its weird, i always see servers complaining about low tips but i never see them talk about how happy big tips make them, except when it's crazy like 80 bucks on a 20 dollar order or something else ridiculous like that

I always tip no matter what. In fact, it's part of my method.
Behold: The S.H.I.N.O.B.I. Method My method makes the assumption that you have already met a woman and have her number, which I feel is the easy part because it can just be a girl you matched with through online dating or met in a group project or something. Anyway: 1. S - Send Vague Text Responses Girls eat this s*** up. Don't give her any definite responses or make her feel like she's worth any more time than a text message. If you are too much of a "nice guy" then normally the girl gets turned off, but you can't be a dick either. You need to be aloof; this girl KNOWS she can pull a thousand guys on Tinder in fifteen minutes, but if you aren't acting thirsty it will instantly elevate you above them. 2. H - Have Her Meet You For Dinner at Olive Garden Olive Garden is the perfect casual dining experience. It is nice enough that it will feel like an actual date, but not too nice that your date is intimidated. It also offers ample parking. Make sure that you drive separately; this is important later on. 3. I - Indicate That You Would Like a Round of Breadsticks for the Table As soon as the waitress attends to your table, order a round of Breadsticks. The Breadsticks are not only free, but they are unlimited, and that will be key here. As many of you know, I am a huge Amiibo collector, so I find it important to let the waitress know right away that you want the Breadsticks, as there will not be any wasted time. 4. N - Never Let the Waitress See You Taking Breadsticks Out of the Restaurant Once your have received your basket of Breadsticks, you may empty them all out into your jacket pockets, but as this is uncomfortable, you will want to make sure you take trips to your car periodically to unload. This is where it becomes key that you drove to the restaurant separately. Make sure the wait staff does not see you leaving to unload either, or they will kick you out (has happened to me on rare occasions). 5. O - Order More Breadsticks As soon as the waitress comes back, say "nummy nummy, breadsticks in me tummy, yummy yummy, more more!" or something to that nature. The waitress will think you are a big fat f*** and likely go back to provide more, as Olive Garden provides these Breadsticks for free and the restaurants are insured for thousands anyway (so they aren't taking a financial hit from the Breastick losses). 6. B - Bring a Trash Bag to Store Breadsticks This part is key. You can only go out to your car so many times before you begin to rouse suspicion. I like to use the "Oh, I left my dog chained outside of the restaurant, better bring him water this time!" or "Methinks I have left my child in the hot car! Daddy's coming!" However, too many trips will start to get you looks, so bring a trash bag to fill up with Breadsticks (under your table). 7. I - Immediately Leave the Restaurant After Your Bag is Full Once the bag is full, you can no longer unload in your car, so it is time to leave. If you have done this correctly, your bill will be $0.00 and you will have a car loaded with warm, garlic and parmesan covered baked goods. From there, you can use these Breadsticks to make sandwiches for the month. I hope this advice helps some of you CEmen, because I know dating is hard and it's sometimes nerve wracking knowing how to behave on a first date.

With service is fine - but if I'm picking up the food and taking it with me, I'm not tipping anything.

For example, I ordered lunch one time for pick up and asked for them to throw in some bread with it. The guy on the phone said it'd be 2 dollars extra for bread so I said forget it. When I came to get it, he told me he threw it in for free. So I gave him the 2 bucks as a tip. But otherwise yeah no. |

If you're gonna be a b**** about it and whine like crazy I wouldn't really tip you.
Like sure she probably deserved more but don't whine about it to everyone it's not like you're entitled to it and at least you just made $15 you stingy f*** IMO

As a server, expecting 20% is insane. I'm happy with 15%. A lot of people I work with complain but we all end up making 15 dollars an hour in a state where the minimum wage is 7.25.

I'm a server. And even I say the only people that get screwed by the tipping system is the customers. The tipping system allows for many servers to make well, well over minimum wage, often coming home with a couple hundred a night in cash for just a few hours work. I guarantee you if there was a set wage and tipping was eliminated, servers would make way less than they do now. So while when I do get a check with little or no tip, it does kind of bum me out sometimes but I don't throw a hissy fit over it. Oftentimes there are those that overtip to make up for it. At the end of the night very few can complain about the entire night's payout, I never understood why some servers focus on those one or two people that gipped them. Move on.
Employers basically get to pay their employees s***, which makes the restaurant more profitable. The customers are the ones that get the short end of the stick in this scenario. So yeah, servers singling out those one or two people and shaming them while they go home with hundreds of dollars after a few hours, just a bad attitude and is probably the reason many are so miserable because they focus way too much on negative s*** than the positives. Just my .02 on the issue. Can't complain about my job at all honestly. My biggest issue with customers are the ones that are straight up rude to you out of the gate

How much do you think the average server makes a year with tips? Tipping didn't use to be a thing. It was considered insulting in the US. Then prohibition made restaurants less profitable and they lobbied for "Tippable Wages" to be a thing...

i always tip big because:
* if i get it delivered i feel like a lazy f*** * if i go out i've kept the absolute worst company before in a restaurant, so my sympathy and patience and money go to the people who literally wait on me, because there's always that slight chance one of those horrible f***-ups is somewhere else in the restaurant pissing everyone off |

It would be nice if more places just banned tipping, increased their prices, and payed a fair wage. The whole system is stupid. I'd rather just pay the money up front. That said, until that happens you should always tip unless service is absolute garbage.

I had an experience at one of those buffet places a couple years back that really soured my opinion on tipping culture. The restaurant was clearly understaffed, and the waitress didn't come around a single time during our entire stay. Keep in mind that, while understaffed, there was just one other person besides my group in the place. When the time came to pay the bill, I stopped my gf from placing a 5 on the table. We received terrible service, so why tip? This disgusting practice has become so deeply rooted in society that even trash service is met with a tip. And that's unacceptable. Period.

At mine though my tips alone pay for my rent and utilities, my car note and insurance, phone bill, and I still have well enough to pay for gas and groceries and going out on the town, etc. Luckily I also live in Nevada so I get an 8.50 base wage and I just direct deposit it straight into my savings because I never really need it. But at the end of the day, the tips alone are enough to live on and have leftovers. Not to mention you often can bring home food for free or at a big discount.

The average server probably makes around $20-$25 an hour with tips. That's a very good wage for a job that essentially only requires one to have good people skills.

Went to a beergarden with some friends about 2 weeks ago and we ended up getting a table and a server because the high tops by the bar had no place to sit.
Our bill came on one big tab and we all chipped in what we thought was a reasonable amount. (Remember, she's just serving us drinks). So as we're leaving the waitress tracks us down. I thought she was going to say we forgot something or to thank us again. Instead she says "Thanks you cheap f***s, glad you could spare some change for me!" Apparently my friend who calculated the bill and handed the cash over only left her like 10 bucks on a $100+ tab. Not a good look but whatever.

I don't tip less than 15% ever, and usually shoot for 20%.
The whole thing is more complicated than it needs to be, tbh. I can see where servers are coming from for sure. For most of them, tips are the bulk of their pay, because social standards have allowed them to be. So customers who act like it's not their fault the server gets little pay aside from tips are not seeing the big picture. Sure, it's not your fault individually that servers are paid little by the employer. It's also not your fault indiviually that there's a long line at the movie theater nor is it your fault individually that people get mad when you use racial slurs against them. But these are social standards and people who don't tip, people who cut in line and people who use racial slurs are all a******s and the victims of these random acts of dickery really just stating facts when they point it out. |

This whole situation depends on WHERE the waiter is working. Obviously if you're at a Denny's or IHOP most people aren't going to tip you a lot. As opposed to working at a fine dinning restaurant, where the bill is usually $60-$200 at the most. So, people will generally tip more. Granted, some people are usually cheapskates. If I can do the simple math in my head for a meal that was like $14, then I usually tip like $5 or $6 just because I feel like it's a better thing to do than to be cheap.

That might be their base salary. The employers are legally required to make up the difference if their tips don't get them to minimum wage, so they're always guaranteed at least that. Never seen a case where their tips don't make that and the employer had to make up the difference.

I worked as a delivery driver and a busser for three years. I get it; I always tip at the minimum fifteen to twenty percent to a driver or server unless it was absolutely horrible service. Either way, her attitude is that of an entitled child.

Servers don't want tipping banned because if it did we'd make less money. We're already guaranteed at least minimum wage, tipping allows us to make way more than that. If there was no more tipping many restaurants would probably pay around that area, so that would become our ceiling instead of our floor.

I used to be a cook and it drove me nuts that I came to the restaurant after they made the decision to stop splitting the tips with the kitchen staff. The restaurant was almost always busy but no matter how many dishes I pump out, the pay was always the same. When I tip, I normally tip because I enjoyed my food (and because it's expected of me), but now that I've worked in the kitchen and never got that satisfaction of hearing any compliments from customers and have to see their cleaned out plates in the dishwasher to proverbially get it, and how I'm constantly working in the heat and every time I look for servers, they're on their phone or just chatting, the whole tipping situation just sours me.imgtc.com/i/4HgTl0ebzq.jpg imgtc.com/i/60CWP2Gtlg.gifMorbidFaithless posted...Also, if you're with friends are you each supposed to tip 20% (or whatever percent) or pull your resources and do one tip equaling 20% of total bill?

It's almost like the 20% tip system is a load of crap. Pretty stupid how a table of 4 ordering $100 worth of food has to tip more than a table of 2 ordering $200 worth of food. Surely larger tables are more work.Kind Regards,
DarmikThe standard tip is 10%. Always has been.
The job didn't get any harder in the last couple decades. Servers have just gotten more lippy and pressured people into giving more.

Paid enough by our employers? Yeah we're not. But at the end of the night and we collect all our tips with our actual wages just being lagniappe? Lmao. At that point we're overpaid. And I'm goddamn loving it, Kinda the reason I went into it. But when I get stiffed I'm not going to go to social media like a little b**** and shame that person. It just happens sometimes. Yeah when I get the ticket and I see I made basically nothing from it, it sucks.
But then I get a ticket that tips $30 for a $70 ticket. How many servers do you see going online to post about their insane tips they get? No, it's just the scumbags they have and they need to shame them so it doesn't happen again.

Tips are not like taxes. One is optional. Now a gratuity, that is like a service tax. You literally don't understand what a tip is. (Hint - you aren't entitled to a tip).
How are they 'robbing the service'? If people didn't come in to eat, the server wouldn't have a job. Less people eating means less serving shifts. Attitudes like yours with these expectations are why restaurants fail. Alienating customers because you think they're cheap. Wow

It's not free you dunce. You get taxed brutally on your paychecks. Servers survive on their tips.Only in America could you find a way to earn a healthy buck and still keep your attitude on self-destructPics_nao_plz posted...I always tip no matter what. In fact, it's part of my method.
Behold:
The S.H.I.N.O.B.I. Method
My method makes the assumption that you have already met a woman and have her number, which I feel is the easy part because it can just be a girl you matched with through online dating or met in a group project or something. Anyway:
1. S - Send Vague Text Responses
Girls eat this s*** up. Don't give her any definite responses or make her feel like she's worth any more time than a text message. If you are too much of a "nice guy" then normally the girl gets turned off, but you can't be a dick either. You need to be aloof; this girl KNOWS she can pull a thousand guys on Tinder in fifteen minutes, but if you aren't acting thirsty it will instantly elevate you above them.
2. H - Have Her Meet You For Dinner at Olive Garden
Olive Garden is the perfect casual dining experience. It is nice enough that it will feel like an actual date, but not too nice that your date is intimidated. It also offers ample parking. Make sure that you drive separately; this is important later on.
3. I - Indicate That You Would Like a Round of Breadsticks for the Table
As soon as the waitress attends to your table, order a round of Breadsticks. The Breadsticks are not only free, but they are unlimited, and that will be key here. As many of you know, I am a huge Amiibo collector, so I find it important to let the waitress know right away that you want the Breadsticks, as there will not be any wasted time.
4. N - Never Let the Waitress See You Taking Breadsticks Out of the Restaurant
Once your have received your basket of Breadsticks, you may empty them all out into your jacket pockets, but as this is uncomfortable, you will want to make sure you take trips to your car periodically to unload. This is where it becomes key that you drove to the restaurant separately. Make sure the wait staff does not see you leaving to unload either, or they will kick you out (has happened to me on rare occasions).
5. O - Order More Breadsticks
As soon as the waitress comes back, say "nummy nummy, breadsticks in me tummy, yummy yummy, more more!" or something to that nature. The waitress will think you are a big fat f*** and likely go back to provide more, as Olive Garden provides these Breadsticks for free and the restaurants are insured for thousands anyway (so they aren't taking a financial hit from the Breastick losses).
6. B - Bring a Trash Bag to Store Breadsticks
This part is key. You can only go out to your car so many times before you begin to rouse suspicion. I like to use the "Oh, I left my dog chained outside of the restaurant, better bring him water this time!" or "Methinks I have left my child in the hot car! Daddy's coming!" However, too many trips will start to get you looks, so bring a trash bag to fill up with Breadsticks (under your table).
7. I - Immediately Leave the Restaurant After Your Bag is Full
Once the bag is full, you can no longer unload in your car, so it is time to leave. If you have done this correctly, your bill will be $0.00 and you will have a car loaded with warm, garlic and parmesan covered baked goods.
From there, you can use these Breadsticks to make sandwiches for the month. I hope this advice helps some of you CEmen, because I know dating is hard and it's sometimes nerve wracking knowing how to behave on a first date.
i laughed at this way more than i should have.I just tip between 10-15%.
I've only never tipped like 3 times but once was because i was super brokeThe night brims with defiled scum,and is permeated by their rotten stench.
Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content.If you don't like the tips, get a better job and stop your crying. It's that simple.Parental Guidance

I mean... I'm the same... the check MUST be a solid number ending in 0 or 5. Depending on the service, will dictate how many increments I jump.

As a server myself, I agree. The reason it's a % of the bill is to allow for the tips to be in line with the cost of living, so if food prices go up, servers can make more money. But honestly, serving one huge table that has a $200 bill is actually less work than serving 5 tables that all have $40 bills. So I don't think anyone should b**** about the % once the bill starts climbing into the hundreds. You're gonna get a good tip. $15 is good.God Bless YouLol wanting 36 bucks for bringing 180 worth of food from point a to point b? That seems crazy in my eyes.

This thought process baffles me. Why would someone be a tough guy because they don't tip? You don't tip because you don't tip, there isn't any reason behind it beyond that.
What is worst than non-tippers is the tippers who believe in it so religiously that if someone doesn't do it they are a scumbag and that the tipper mafia is going to go after them.fenderbender321 posted...Tryhaptaward posted...

I'm a server. And even I say the only people that get screwed by the tipping system is the customers.
Servers get f***ed too, they just don't notice. How much do you think the average server makes a year with tips?
Tipping didn't use to be a thing. It was considered insulting in the US. Then prohibition made restaurants less profitable and they lobbied for "Tippable Wages" to be a thing...
Varies a lot depending on the restaurant. At mine though my tips alone pay for my rent and utilities, my car note and insurance, phone bill, and I still have well enough to pay for gas and groceries and going out on the town, etc. Luckily I also live in Nevada so I get an 8.50 base wage and I just direct deposit it straight into my savings because I never really need it.
But at the end of the day, the tips alone are enough to live on and have leftovers. Not to mention you often can bring home food for free or at a big discount.
Wth kind of four star restaurant do you work at? Because you clearly cannot do something like that at a Dennys.You come up with something better!The waitress can f*** herself. I dont believe in tipping. At allI usually tip if I'm in a seated eating restaurant. I'll tip delivery drivers as well, as long as they've delivered my food within a reasonable amount of time (my tip will degrade every few minutes after 20 minutes)
However, if I'm picking up food, I REFUSE to tip.
Also, this one time at a restaurant the person I was with was so mad with their food he just started throwing "NO TIP!" out whenever the waitress was around. He was a jerk. Don't be himi5-4570 3.2GHz, 8gb DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Founder's Edition

But nobody is interested in raising the minimum wage for servers there. Even though that would cost the consumer less.Kind Regards,
DarmikMy opinion on this is a little biased, because I work as a cook in a busy sit down restaurant. Servers are constantly complaining about their tips... acting greedy, spoiled, entitled, you name it. And yet, even on their worst night, they are still going to get paid more than me. All while sitting down reading the newspaper, doing a crossword puzzle, watching videos on their phone, taking a dozen smoke breaks, etc.
Meanwhile, if I stop working for even a minute, my boss will chime in and ask me what I'm doing. Watches everyone like a hawk, it seems like. And when it's busy, I need to hustle. I take passion in making a dish that looks as good as I can make it under the time constraints (most of the other cooks don't care about that). However, I don't get paid extra for putting more effort into making presentable food. I just do it, because that's what I would want to see as a customer. I think about how much money they are spending, and try to make them feel like I made it special just for them. Even though I will never see or talk to them. The purpose of a restaurant is to give customers a satisfying dining experience. However, sometimes it seems like its actual purpose is to save as much money as possible by being cheap. The flaw in that logic is you lose money by driving away customers with crappy food. But I digress....
However, I do tip 99% of the time, and try to give at least 15%. The problem is, I feel like I very rarely get good service. Most of the time it's mediocre. They do the bare minimum, often don't know anything about the food, and seem impatient. And I get the feeling that they have a bad attitude. Most of the time I tip because I enjoyed the food, and that's entirely because of the cook/ingredients.
In the case of more exotic restaurants, like Vietnamese pho, actual communication can be nearly impossible. But good places have awesome food and good portion sizes that cost the same amount of money as a McDonald's combo, so I will always tip for that reason alone.(edited 9 hours ago)Shiek120 posted...
