Got in an argument over me leaving a $2.00 tip.

[Puddles]

Sure, servers get a salary, usually something close to minimum wage, enough to cover their costs of gas and paying for the automobile that gets them to and from their jobs and a meal, they rely on their tips more than their salary. For most of them it's not a career, it's something they do while they're in school, inbetween jobs, part-time, etc. and unless you've been in the business, you have no idea how tough it can be. Like Lexi, I waitressed in high school. Fortunately I don't remember ever being dissapointed with the tips I got, and I worked for my father who did not give me any salary, it was my obligation as his daughter to pitch in and work for him. Before I was old enough to wait on tables, I worked in the kitchen, washed the pots and pans, swept and mopped the floors and other prep work before we opened for business.

In the US it is customary to leave a 15% tip when they've performed their job correctly. In many upscale establishments, a 15% gratuity is automatically added to the bill before it is presented to you, probably because there are so many snobs that think they are so high and mighty, well above the servers and they would snub them of their tips if given the opportunity.

They CAN get paid less than minimum wage, and they usually do. Sucks.

I can't stand being out with people who don't tip well. I almost ALWAYS leave 20% (more if it's close to a bill, like if 20% is $8.50 I'll leave $10 if the service was good)....unless there's legitimate reason not too....and then I still leave 15. Bouncer you cheap ass :p

Yes, they do that here as well. I deduct 20% for wasting my time to correct the bill. And if they really wanna start some shit. I go to their bathroom, take the lid off a few toilets and rip out the long rod with the float on it. You should see the stream of water that hits the roof. You ever go into a bathroom and see the lid bolted on with a nut? That's because of me:rofl:

Helpful hint, when you dont feel like leaving a whole 20 next time, and the server asks if you need change, say "Yes, can you please break this bill into..."

Bro seriously, 2 bucks is fucking insulting to someone, I dont even give the kid that delivers the pizza that lil of a tip

[JUICE]

I only give what i can give, im not an ass or anyting but sometines u cannot give alot of money on tips. I say this because i earn little ($230 every 2 damn weeks) enough to pay my gas, my foods, and my bills. I spend $150 oncredit card, 30 dollars on gas, and $45 on my damn phone. I dont have jack shit for myself. Thats all not go out and buy shit for me but for those things only. Its once in a whilei take my girl out to eat. When i do i give what i can.




-I dont know why restaurants pay very little to bussboys, waiters, and severs. Here its $2.15 per hour/plus tips. THATS SUCKS, what if the jiob is slow and no money. SERIOUSLY, I RAther spend time on a boring job getting paid than be waiting for customers and no pay. OR THE RESTAURANTS should pay the minimum wage or something, cause what if the day is so and no customers. I say this cause i ve had friends and cousins who've worked there and at times had shitty 60 dollar check every 2 weeks and little as much as 40 doloaar tips in a week. Kinda shitty. They should change thigns a bit.:)

If you can't afford to tip or if you are a stingy fuck, then simply stay the fuck home and cook. This thread pisses my ass off beyond belief. I can't believe you people actually admit to being this much of a social asswipe and think it's funny and that people will go, "Wow, this dude is so cool cuz he stiffed some shithead waiter"......grow the fuck up. I truly hope something bad happens to your pompous asses one day that will make you change the way you treat people.

Hun, who pissed on your Wheaties? :D

Quality post, brother.. :rofl:

I personally tip, and overtip if she's cute.. ;)

[DJ TurboSexy]

Yeah Bouncer that's pretty bad, not wanting to break your $20. I was in the same situation before, but I went to the cashier and asked for change, went back and left a decent tip. But it's your money, so you can tip or not!

I think you should shit the fuck up don’t make yourself the man :rofl:

Most people tip because they want to show the other people that they give money; they don’t care about money

specially the guys, in front of their girlfriends. ((See my love I can take care of you because I tip, if he tips that means he has money. That is the story:D :D And unfortunately I am not one of these guys:3some:

Sorry, but I don't sugar coat shit when I have a strong opinion about something and put little smily faces after disagreeing to make it look like I'm half joking. This shit really irritates me.:mad:

Do you not get paid by the hour for the job you do? Does is say that customers have to leave a tip? No it doesn't! Who the fuck started this tip bullshit? Your boss pays you for the work you do. The customers pay the boss. End of story.

Its usually COMMON courtesy to tip because yeah they get paid by the hour but about...oh...$2.50 -$3.00 an hour because tips are the bulk of their income.

So no its not end of story.... but hey if ya dont want to tip dont...I bet you've eaten some nasty things due to your rudeness. ;)

[hitmansb]

Never eat there again if you value your health. Usually, if you're still within visual range after leaving a tip like that, the waiter/waitress will chase you down and insult you while handing you back the money...something along the lines of "Keep your change...you obviously need it worse than I do".

That's seriously bad karma Bouncer....keep your head up out there, because it's almost surely going to get you.
