That's funny! Below average service gets 10-15%, and shitty service gets NOTHING . . . hopefully they'll quit waiting tables and go back to washing dishes, where they belong.Look, 20% is standard, absolute minimum, for average service. If you can't tip, stay home in the trailer park where you belong
At the Chinese place, the folks behind the counter do it. I seldom get takeout elsewhere.Dijos said:If you think that "all they have to do on a takeout order is hand you a bag of food", who do you think takes the order and packs it up?
$1 a mixer is fair . . . for beer, it'll be less.Dijos said:If you're in a bar, it's $1 a drink. If you think that's crazy, then die of thirst.
There are 2 things to consider; The kitchen makes the food, not your waitstaff. Too many people punish the waiter for bad food. That is a matter that the manager should take up with the kitchen.
and yes, Waitstaff is paid below minimum wage; 2.15 an hour, my friend. On their feet for 6 to 8 hours a day, no breaks, Literally running for 8 hours, no benefits, and now they're taxed on tips.
Everyone has forgotten this acronym, and lousy waiters feel entitled to undeserved tips . . . like some folks feel entitled to panhandle in the parking lot outside the restaurant. If you consistantly fail to provide satisfactory service, then you need to find another line of work -- like scrubbing toilets or washing cars.T.I.P. That's right tip is an acronym, which stands for To Insure Promptness. Tips should be worked for, and not taken for granted.
Wow -- opposite problem here. I usually request NO ICE. I once was at a place where I ordered a couple of brandies -- dipshit put ice in it. Ice will screw up a bloody mary or martini as well. When you order a drink down here, glass is overflowing with cubes, with a swallow or two of fluid at the bottom.hlee said:why does my drink come from "where ever" with a meager two cubes of ice? Is there some sort of global ice shortage? Must be global warming.
Good servers quickly learn that discourtesy is seldom rewarded.hlee said:And the one that will instantly shrivel a tip to single digit coppers... "Do you need change?" No you're not getting the leftovers from that $100, or whatever, not now anyway. It is so easy to say "I'll be right back with your change." Which can just as easily be followed by "That won't be necessary." Expectation, or an entitlement attitude, leads to poor service, and poorer tips.
Here's a question, how much to tip the pizza delivery guy?
Firstly, some waitstaff may make $2.15, but not good ones. Good ones are rewarded by their employers for the quality of their work and get paid more. Good service is just as important to me as good food and restaurant managers know this.

Secondly, if you tip lousy waiters 20%, what motivation to they have to get better, and how do they know that they are doing a crappy job. "Hell, they me tipped 20%, so they must not have minded me taking 30 minutes to bring them their check...".
[/I]
I hate to disagree with you, but this is complete bull$hit...
My friend's sister makes about $7 plus tips.
I recommend that those who are too cheap to tip make sure the server .....[/i]
