Why do we tip people?

See, thats what Im saying. I dont mind tipping when the service IS good..but more often than not..ppl expect a tip for doing shit.

My other problem is places that automatically include the 15% gratuity intot he bill. The service could have sucked, but instead of having an option to tip, you are forced to pay for shit. Also, its even worse when ppl expect a tip when it is already included..that sux as well.

Please explain why instead of expecting me to read your mind.

It just seems like countless times you\'ve had problems with people.

You legally don\'t have to pay that 15% all u have to pay for is what u ate, now we do that here, but for peeps of over 8.

Thanx for that info, I never knew that. I\'ve actually had good luck and have had great service from all of the places I have been to that did that, so there was no need to complain about paying it.

I know what you make..I was a server for like a month. I don\'t care if you don\'t get ANY wage from them. Judging from this
"people like u that get bad service cuz u don\'t wanna tip"

I tip based on service..if you offer bad service form get go..of course you won\'t get a dime. Work for what you want. im not gonna stiff a earned tip.

Just recently..we went to a resturant and ate..service was decent..no complaints. I go to pay the check and I overhear our waiter talking to another waitress. "That mother****er didn\'t leave me a tip"

Well i had to get change from the bill to leave him a tip, but guess what..he didnt get one. I walked over to him with $10 in my hand..he was smiling expecting to receive the dough. I told him
"You are correct, this "mother****er" is NOT going to tip you" and started to walk away. I then hear him, "but Sir, I only assumed"

Catch my drift mjps?

That\'s funny luckee, but you can probably expect a special surprise in your meal if you go back to that restaurant.:surprised

I tip really well when I get good service. Giving a good tip ensures me that my beer will be poured before I even reach my seat at my local watering hole. If I get bad to OK service then I lower the percentage to send a message.

I think the best way to deal with bad service is to tell the waiter or waitress why you are unhappy with the service and that you would leave a better tip the next time if the service improves.
Then never return because you know they\'re going to add some unsavory ingredients to your meal.

If you knew just this guy was a jerk.  Then why did you ask why any servers should get tips.

ACE: I never go back to places where I receive bad service..so Im not worried

Boz: Answer the question instead of avoiding it please. As for yours..So it wasn\'t worded correctly..suck my ass

Besides, it wasn\'t intended such as a personal rant or I would have posted in R&R, but more something for discussion. Everyone else seemed to have figured that out but you.

The whole reason you tip servers is because they get payed shitty wages.  And when they miss one tip it ****s them over.  I always tip some.  Anywhere from 5%-20%.  You wonder why the servers get edgy when waiting for a tip, some people are assholes and don\'t tip just because they don\'t feel like it.

If I worked as a food server I would be the nicest, fastest and most excellent waiter that ever existed. Why, because I want the cash.

I don\'t understand someone who depends on tips doing a piss poor job and then getting mad about the lack of a tip.

That is true, but it shouldnt be expected by them like soooo many do. They are expected to do their job thoroughly and promtly. Some don\'t feel they have to pay, and they dont. Doesnt make them any less of a person b/c they dont tip even when service is adequate

By jove I think he\'s got it!!!!!!!!!

Thats exactly what im talkin about..I almost wanna send you $15 bux for a good post

PM and I\'ll send you my address.

If you don\'t tip with adequate service I would say your a bad person.

And how do you expect a server to do a perfect job when they have 5 tables to handle.  After working for 7 hours straight I doubt they can be perfect.  But some people think they are "special" and they are the only ones that deserve service.

easy to say, huh?

try dealing with cheap, nasty customers like luckee all day long and see if you\'ll feel the same way
