ok not what i am geting at

[PhilosipherStoned]

Just give them 20% of your paycheck and call it a day. I'm being sarcastic, but making tipping customary, with wages often adjusted to account for it is bullshit if you ask me. tip for good service or as a show of thanks, or don't tip at all.. It doesn't really matter.

Please don't type at the restaurant.

[Clu]

Fuck your waitress... That's her tip.

i am confused

You can, but you should never tip above 10%.

In fact, don't tip at all and tell them to get a real job.

I agree.

Matta fact, complain and get that useless cunt fired.

Next time you feel like maybe doing more, try it and see what happens.

Watch your back

[NeurocideVibekillah]

If I had a 30 dollar meal, I wouldn't tip more than 10%. 

Just a preference.

i thought 20% was the "new norm"

i tip 15-20% for basic decent service and go up based on details and attention and other service based excellence. working for tips is hard, so i show love and give back when i can to those doing more than the minimum

I LOVE talking about tips. Okay, here's my rule. When I walk into that restaurant, I'm going in with a base of 15%, right? So if my waiter or waitress is absolutely average, middle-of-the-road fine, that's what they're gonna get. That's the base tip. And from there, I assess how the person waiting on me performs.

The worse they are, the lower is gets. The better, the higher. If my waiter or waitress is the absolute drizzling shits, they might get 5%. Or they might get no tip at all. Now let's say my waiter or waitress goes above and beyond, and is incredible, and everything is perfect, and they're super friendly. That tip might jump up as high as 40 or 50%. 

Okay, NOW let's say the service is not amazing, right? Like my food gets there late, my cup is only refilled once or twice, that type of shit. BUT, I see my waiter or waitress working other tables, and I can tell this person is working their ass off, and they're doing their best, and they clearly just have way too much on their plate (no pun intended), that tip will not go down. In fact, if they are doing their absolute best, that tip may still go up based on my respect for them and the fact that they're putting in that work.

I've worked in food service, I know how thankless that shit is, and I respect them. So I always try to give them the benefit of the doubt.

[André Toulon]

yes

[fuggstop]

I tip more for great service. If they are really amazing, i ask for the manager or write a letter about how awesome they are to the manager. 

[GunStarHero]

The servers out here make minimum wage on top of their tips, which isn't how things are everywhere. Most of them make as much or more than anyone in the kitchen, including the Executive Chef, depending on tips. If I didn't hate people so much I would have become a server myself. We're talking upwards of $100+/hour depending on tips, activity, and location. Nevermind the fancy places on The Strip where customers need to reserve a table, adhere to a strict dress code, and pay $2,000+ per person. No clue what servers at those places make. 

That being said, when I was in Texas, the servers made like $2/hour so they needed those tips. 

[wacky1980]

we tip a lot. like 1/4 to 1/3 usually. and always cash, even if paying for the meal with plastic.

Do you tell them why you're asking for the manager? 

Could just be me, but even as the manager, I panic when somebody wants to address somebody with some rank, even if the customer's inflection is pleasant and positive.

Better yet, do you tell them personally how well theyre doing? That sort of thing makes my day so much better much faster.

[Bouvre]

To answer, I always do at least 15. I work in the industry and even a modest amount tip-wise is super appreciated. As a worker, I try not to get hung up on amount specifics, even if if isn't ten percent.

I tell people they are doing a good job all the time.

But when they are serving me, i definitely let them know i want to tell the manager abt how great they are doing. Altho its fun when they think they are in trouble lol

I mean, I can't blame you for that last part. The relief that all is well when I expect the worst is pretty satisfying, even if taxing.

It usually goes like this after they hand me my check

Me: thanks. Also, can i speak to your manager? 

Them:(worried look) was something wrong?

Me: Nope 😜

I mean, at least the turn-around on the joke is p quick. 

[Naraku4656]

15% pretty much always

[SwimModSponges]

I tip 20% because its easy to figure out.

Bill less than $100? Take the first number, double it, then give them that many dollars. 

Also, fun fact- tipping in America started because businesses owners refused to pay black employees. 

[enad]

I tip a waitress based upon how much they allow me to sexually harass them.  If I get to slap your ass 30% of time you're at my table then you get a 30% tip.

Unless I start going to sit down restaurants a ton (I'm much more likely to get fast food), I just default to 20%, and you're probably going to have to piss me off for me to lower it.

I tend to forget that other jobs ask for tips. I don't get haircuts often, but when I do, I look at the tip line on the receipt, and I'm like, "uhhhhhhhhhh" and then just decide, "two dollars, why not", or "five dollars, why not," or whatever, depending on how much the service was.
