My question is this: (in a restaurant) What do you normally tip if service is good? If sevice is crap how do you tip or do you tip at all? Do you tip differently if its a man or woman? Do you tip differently if the waiter or waitress is attractive or ugly?
Here, see what the dog man being / monkey being tells his men, he's so fucking cool http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/3776/coolfh9.jpg He's like "Don't worry about whether you live or die, life is a waste anyway."
About a quarter of the total, more or less depending on the money I have. Depending on the money I have, the tip will be decided by their service. Service to me is getting a good meal in a reasonable time with a friendly attitude. If the food tastes like ass and it took two hours to get to me because the server ignored us or worse, then nothing is coming to them. If the food is bad, it's the product or the cook. If either the attitude or service is bad, it's the server.
i dont eat in restaurants, but ive never heard of anyone tipping over here... it might be different up north where living costs are insanely high, but even people on minimum wage can earn enough for a comfortable standard of living here.
dont go to restaurants, dont go to the hairdresser, dont order pizza. even if i did i would see no reason to tip them unless they did an outstanding job. they get paid to de their job just the same as everyone else.
Why tip at all? It makes no sense. Lots of people have bad jobs...why tip someone? There is no obligation. They are doing nothing extra for you. I find pizza delivery and door man the most ridiculous situations. I don't even want someone to hold the door open for me. Pizza delivery? WTF, it's driving? I paid for the delivery, where is this tip coming from?!
You are paying a delivery charge whether they specify it or not Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! It is the EMPLOYER's job to pay them.
i know but like a month ago i ordered a pizza ( we do in a blue moon) and it was here in 15 mins i thought wow.....and i tipped the guy a few bucks. My neighbour was doing it and they don't get paid much at all. I don't know its just me but if i get good pleasant service.....I will tip...... Like I get my nails done....I tip but it depends on how good a job they did, and did i have to wait long... and if its crap I won't tip. But sometimes at a restaurant its a debate.....nietchze is more generous then me....i am like forget it they took to long.....they didn't come for refills with us asking and so on.......he feels we need to leave 15%.....i think thats too much sometimes.......and I try and take money away...lol
There are two types of people. Those that had a low paying service job and those that didn't. Only way I won't give 15%, is if I detect ATTITUDE.
When I am buying something I expect that excellent service is including my bill. If I were to adopt your style of thinking, I'd expect some money back if it was awful service. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Haha, wrong. A lot of cultures don't tip, and if that is not enough evidence, I used to be a bus boy. I also used to be a caddy, which is a job that tipping is customary. I had the same uniform as the waiter though, so half the time I was doing half of the work at the waiter's table (at less pay, btw). But did I get the tips that went the waiters way? No, because it's just a retarded set of traditional rules. Tipping just makes no logical sense whatsoever. Did anyone see that curb your enthusiasm episode where there was a "captain" at the restaraunt, who seated them, and Larry didn't tip him? lol
I'm not sure where you live, but waiters and delivery drivers tend to make very little money on an hourly wage. I made $2.15 per hour as a waiter. It's not that way because the owners are greedy, but because the restaurant business is very tough to compete in... The last time I checked, they typically make only 3% profit on food. To compare, most companies make around 5.2% profit or so... and the employees at these companies typically make more than even minimum wage.
If it is bad service, you simply do not tip. If you get good and nice service however, it is good manners to give a tip. You have to keep in mind that a waiter (for example) is earning very little. The expensive bill that you are paying for the food does not all go towards the waiter's wages. I remember when at uni, a lot of my friends worked as waiters part time and all of them used to comment that without tips, they would simply not be able to pay their rent, buy food, etc. Don't forget, they are earning very little to serve you and serve you well. They have to put up with your questions, complaints about the food (etc), put up with your unruly kids, etc. If they do their job well, they should be tipped.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
No, you tip $1, 50 cents.... something small. If you don't even leave a tip, the waiter will think you are forgetful or at least try to rationalize it to be this way. Leave a small amount and its clear that you didn't forgot. It's also clear to the waiter that they suck or that the tipper is an asshole. If the waiter gets enough of these small tips, he'll quit or get better Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
