Buggernut Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I recently had lunch at a Chinese-owned sushi restaurant and the waitress who served me had the worst atittude. Her facial expression indicates that she doesn't want to be there. This waitress rolls her eyes while taking orders, doesn't respond to customers calls for more tea or napkins. Plus the restaurant was only half full. After the meal, I paid the bill upfront but didn't leave a tip. She gave me a dirty look afterwards. I feel that a tip should be earned, not expected. If the service is bad enough, no tip should be given. I've tipped 20% for excellent service before. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 One thing I hate is when they come to your table every 2-3 min asking how everything is.. Let me eat ffs.. Wait till later to ask how everything was.. We have food in our mouths and want to enjoy our meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dank. Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm leaning towards not giving tips anymore. I don't see why waiters/waitresses deserve it over other workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 So...if someone slams a shopping card into your car door, but you don't know who did it, you slam it into the car next to you just to get revenge? So I guess you're an eye for an eye type of person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gally Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 You should keep a penny and use it to tip a crappy server when they are out of circulation haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseupsucker Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Agreed, but the restaurant industry will fight tooth and nail to keep it the way it is. Why cut into their profits when they can force their patrons to help finance their workers salaries. It's a genius scam they have going on, gotta give them that.

dank.sinatra Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Wow you guys are such cheap bastards. I get not leaving a great tip if the service is bad but leaving no tip? c'mon tips are what these people work for. They make 9 bucks an hour on 4 hour shifts. You can't live off that. It's pretty embarrassing to go out to a bar with a guy who doesnt tip too. All you have to do is give the bartender a buck or two every drink. If you can't pay tips you should save your money and stop going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dank.sinatra Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Do you also tip retail workers who make 9 dollars an hour on 4 hour shifts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dank.sinatra Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 A lot of them don't. For example, Best Buy (or was that Future Shop?), Toys R Us, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 A friend of mine is a stickler for good service at a restaurant. From the minute we arrive till the minute we pay the bill she takes note of how we were treated and she makes all of us follow her verdict on the amount to tip. I totally think that it should be earned. The whole reason to dine out is to be treated to a meal where you get good service and you can enjoy your food without having to worry about the little things you have to worry about when dining at home. If the experience is anything less than pleasurable it's always a little disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think tipping is a joke. Somehow the employer is getting away with under paying their staff and the consumer is expected to support them. Well I'm a courier. Should I be tipped? Apparently not. A pizza boy should be. McDonald's staff? No. Some crapty restaurant that serves burgers and booze? Yes. Messed.

GoaltenderInterference Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It's comments like these that make me feel like I want to stop tipping all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Sucks for them. They should get a better job that pays more maybe as a waiter? Being a waiter (or waitress) is not supposed to be a minimum wage job. A lot of people make careers out of it because they make good money in tips. It's not an easy job and they deserved to be tipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Person Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I've usually been lucky with service. The worst I had was about a month ago, I was at Milestones for a birthday dinner. There was about 10 of us. The service was decent, food was good, but the waitress gave us individual bills with a tip on each bill. Each bill had about $2.50 on it. So $2.50 x 10 = a nice $25 tip. I wasn't too thrilled so I just didn't pay the extra $2.50, but nobody else really noticed or gave a crap since it was only a couple bucks. But still, frack you, waitress. I'm a high school kid making $9.50 an hour, no tips so don't try to take my money! You can't do that, tips are earned. Yeah, that's the worst waitress experience I've had. /end grouchy rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If its crap service I give 0% but if its good I give 15% or more. I knew people when I was in school who did serving and they would make more money in tips than their wage because they had a good personality and made it worth while for the customer.
