    A tip is indicative of the job you perform. A decent tip is not something that’s automatic regardless of how shitty a job you do. That’s probably why you get bad tips, you know?

     

    I have to agree with gayshooter on this one..

    Tip based on the service,,, because granted a tip is not mandartory unless of parties greater then 6 or 8 etc....

    It's sad to say, but I can USUALLY determine my tip , based on 1st impression of my guests. I'm almost always spot-on.

    __________

    I can believe this.

    One thing to add.  If it's a place I go to a lot, I will normally leave 10% or so even if the service is really bad and then say something to the manager.  Just to keep the odds of getting a couple of pinches of chewing tobacco in my pulled pork at a minimum.

    Its a server/bartenders job to serve you, not put your bib on and feed you your food by hand.  You are 1 of MANY people they have to take care of, they aren't your fucking slave.  Too many people expect to be treated like a king wearing a crown-as it sounds like the author of this thread does

    It's sad to say, but I can USUALLY determine my tip , based on 1st impression of my guests. I'm almost always spot-on.

     

    all day

    Its a server/bartenders job to serve you, not put your bib on and feed you your food by hand.  You are 1 of MANY people they have to take care of, they aren't your fucking slave.  Too many people expect to be treated like a king wearing a crown-as it sounds like the author of this thread does

    Yes, expecting a waiter/waitress to refill my drink when it runs out and to come by at least every 20 minutes to see if we need anything is expecting “to be treated like a king wearing a crown.”

    Do a good job = get a good tip.

    Do a shit job = get a shit tip.

    Don’t like it? Then don’t do a shit job.

    Just because you only eat at places where the difference between a 30% tip and no tip at all is only “a couple extra quarters” doesn’t mean the rest of us do.

    Waitstaff/barstaff minimum wage is much lower than normal minimum wage.

    Cheep skates should eat at home.

    my point was that i don't buy you EVER tip well.....i believe that the difference between a good tip and bad tip is a few quarters from you.....

    but i'll play along if you want--- sure friend- i bet all the servers at the fine establishments in hazzard county get giddy when you role up in the general lee...............

    I “clam up anytime anybody” asks me where I am from? Feel free to post a link to another thread where someone asked me where I was from and I refused to answer.

    Once you realized that you outed yourself as someone that regularly eats at restaurants where the difference between a 30% tip and no tip is only “a couple quarters” you tried to make it about where I live.  Dude, no one here cares if you are so poor you can only afford to eat at shitty restaurants. It’s ok.  You don’t have to keep trying to change the subject.

    And if you really want to know, I live in the 4th largest city in the country.

     I've had the same thing happen & I hate that. I complained & was satisfied by the outcome, but the attitude of the server pissed me off almost as bad as the poor service did. I understand why they do the auto-tip for big parties because I used to wait tables in a nice restaurant many moons ago........but you better guarantee good service if you do.

    You didn’t ask me where I was from and then I clamed up and then went off on a tangent. In my very first post in that thread I quoted a tv show and you didn’t get it so I listed the name of the factual town in the tv show in hopes you would think “hmm, I never heard of that place, maybe I should look it up.” Not only did you not look it up there, but even after I suggested that you google it you still remained oblivious. If I had known then what I know now about you I would have just flat out told you it was the a quote from a tv show because God knows you aren’t smart enough to figure it out on your own.

    I think your better off writing a polite letter to the restaurant after your experience than not tipping.

    I'm a sucker though and I always give the benefit of the doubt to the working person.
