That explains it.... Tipping is Racist.

[Clem72]

See, I like to tip. It makes me happy to reward a good server because in my mind they make all the difference in the world when it comes to enjoying my dining experience. The food can be amazing and plated in 24k gold, but if the service sucks the whole meal sucks.

I guess that depends on your definition of good service. I don't really like being chatted up or asked every 30 seconds if I need a drink refill. I'm an introvert and not looking to make a fake friend. And i'm sure its got to be emotionally draining for some (not all) wait staff who have to fake being perky or risk not making enough money that day.

I always liked the style I saw in Japan. Little button on the table to call for service. Ready to order? Hit the button. Need a refill? hit the button. Want your bill? hit the button.

They had several servers for the whole restaurant, not each server to a section, so when you hit the button someone would be over immediately and not 15 minutes after you have been trying to catch your waitress' eye as she seemingly hits the same table 300+ times and never comes over to your section.

BTW I do tip well, I just don't think it's the most optimal system for customers or servers. Works great for owners though.

I am also of this mindset. I do however tip according to SERVICE. Crappy service gets crappy (or no) tip.
What I do disagree with is the "We automatically add XX% tip if parties are more than X people." Why exactly am I forced to tip a certain amount regardless of the quality of service just because I have 6 people eat at the table? Do I get a guaranteed refund on my bill if the service quality is sub-par?

This is due to 1 demographic being notorious for being lousy tippers in addition to running wait staff ragged with myriads of requests. Big after church parties leaving some religious pamphlet in lieu of tip.

That's because you're a cheap ass Democrat who doesn't value those you consider "servants". You think it's your due to be catered to and waited upon, and have no respect for the people who do it.

That's hilarious. You think the person who wants them to be paid better and not be forced to grovel for your tips is the one that doesn't value them.

You've obviously never worked in a service industry, which doesn't surprise me.

"Forced to grovel for tips "


And your previous comment "have to fake being perky"

 

[vraiblonde]

Because doesn't everyone want to pay premo prices for restaurant meal with a cranky server who tells you to GFY when you ask for something, or sits outside smoking while your food sits in the pass getting cold? At least they're not groveling for tips or faking perkiness...

They won't be paid better. Not the good ones, anyway.

Explains why restaurant and bar businesses are historically some of the most successful of all business types.


Wait....

I don't eat at chitty white trash chain restaurants. Never experienced any server telling me to GFM when I asked for something. Never had one outside smoking while my food sits in the pass getting cold.

Must be you.

And I like to give my tip in cash, small bills.

So if tips are pooled, they can claim "lousy tipper", throw a couple singles in the bucket and hold the rest back for themselves. And come racing over next time I walk in the door.

If I don't have that cash in my pocket, I don't eat out.

I like to say that the server's relationship with Uncle Sam is none of my business. Cash tips whenever possible.

Why can't Marxists learn to read, or at least read for comprehension? Is it all those dog whistles and codes they program you with?

Just let them get to know ya a bit more. It'll come.

I always knew blacks did not tip well, that is one reason most of the restaurants in Myrtle beach close during black bike week, I didn't know it had anything to do with slavery, I just thought it was because knee grows were cheap ass holes, matter of fact I still think so.

I have noticed a trend with your posts on here. If they aren’t displaying your hypocrisy they usually are riddled with I this, I that, I travelled here, I don’t do this. You are so self centered I bet your wife has never had an orgasm, from you that is.
