Whatever, you don't know me. You'll never see me, so don't worry about it.

Plus, tipping isn't mandatory. I don't see any laws on tipping, but if there are, I'd like to see them.

It's common practise to have a little change in any sorta' tip jar or collection plates, basic theory is that it encourages others to continue the fashion.

#86 - it's law of f-ing human decency. Are you seriously such a hateful person that you don't care at all about your server? Oh, probably not, because you don't actually see them as a real person! God, I am so happy to not work at the type of restaurant that people like you would go to!!

Tipping is a courtesy given to people that bust their ass for worthless assholes like you, clearsky. But at least you've just admitted you have no manners or common courtesy. And as for getting a "real job" or one that "pays more" I'll have you know that my husband is a software engineer, and on a good day, I make more than he does if we break it down hourly.

OK so if you make more than your software engineer husband, you have no right to come here and complain about the tips. I know you're not, but that's the point. Good waiters make good money and don't complain. Bad ones come here and whine about how people don't tip them.

This is not necessarily true. Some people just don't tip. Example- clearsky, among others posting on here, that believe they have no reason to tip, whether the service is good or not. Sometimes you get a table of teenagers that is going out to eat, and then they pay half the bill in loose change and leave nothing for a tip. It's not always just because they received bad service.

Being a server is actually a pretty sweet gig, if you're good at it! I very rarely get less than 15% tips anymore and usually average over 20% a shift. But regardless of how great a server I am, I do still have the occasional person who tips poorly or doesn't tip at all (I've actually been lucky to only be stiffed once in the past year). Some people are just stupid jerks or usually, just ignorant. The worst tips I get are from lower-class people that are trying to show off by going to a nice restaurant that they can't afford and they generally don't even know how to figure out what 20% IS, let alone that that's what they should tip! Most good servers know to expect it occasionally and don't let it ruin their night when it does.

I feel that tipping should not be expected. If I go to a restaurant, I am already paying for over-priced food. I also know that the server is already getting paid to provide a service. Why should I give them extra money for doing their job? If waiters expect a tip, shouldn't workers at EVERY job logically expect a tip? Today I went to a restaurant, at my bill was $28.54. I like even amounts, so I tipped $1.46, and I only gave a tip because the friend I was with thinks that waiters should get tipped. He pointed out to me, yet again, that I'm a bad tipper. I replied, yet again, that I don't care. It's a job, and they shouldn't expect free money. If some people feel like tipping, good for them, but if someone expects a tip they can go f*** themselves. They are greedy. If you expect a tip, but don't give free money to a friendly person in any job, then you are a hypocrite and an idiot.

For you, Mr. That_is_Silly. Dude, you're a douche-bag. Seriously, what do you do as a job? For people who work in a restaurant, should be tipped. They are doing you a favor by bringing you your damn food. (Not that you go get the food and bring it to your table yourself unless in a buffet type restaurant.) Like someone previously stated, they do accept tips or a gratuity payment if there is more than 8 or 10 I believe. Honestly, if you worked in a restaurant you would get really pissed off if you got tipped really shitty. I know quite a few people who work in that area and they complain about miserable people, such as yourself. I don't mind tipping as long as the service is well. If the service isn't good then I leave about a 5-10% tip depending on how much the bill is. Usually though I leave a 15-20% tip. I believe as though, if someone is doing something for you, you should praise them for doing so. I can't stand people like you. People like you piss me the **** off. I would love for you to have to be a waiter, just once in your life and see how well you do, and to see if any one leave you a damn tip. You stupid low-life miserable ****!

At my job, I made sure to be nice to every customer and treat them with respect. Did I ever get tipped? No. If fact I constantly got complained to for things I had no control over. I didn't expect a tip of course, because I'm not a moron. I'm getting paid to do something, I don't expect anything else. I'm nice for the sake of being nice, not because I think I'll get something out of it. By your logic, people in ANY job should be tipped if they are nice. Do you tip every nice worker in any job? I can almost guarantee you don't, so you are a hypocrite.

Servers get paid BELOW minimum wage. This is because it is expected for people that go to a restaurant and eat and utilize a servers services to tip. It's common sense, jackass. You really think that it's sensible that I make $2.13 an hour to serve multiple tables throughout the day as well as do sidework, clean, dishes, etc, and should not be tipped? People in other jobs actually get paid at least minimum wage. They are being paid to do their job. Why don't the supposed 'hypocrites' here tip people in other occupations that are nice? Because those people actually get a decent paycheck. If you think the food is over-priced to begin with and you have no reason to tip, go to McDonald's and buy a meal that's cheap and where you're not expected to tip, because everyone there makes minimum wage, dickwipe.

Well, that's your fault for getting a job that pays below minimum wage. You're an idiot. I have no sympathy for you.

You're ******* retarded. Nothing more I can say.

I'm not the one working for below minimum wage. You see, I make SMART life choices. This includes making sure I'm getting paid properly. Now, I'm guessing that you might say it's hard to get a good job. Well, maybe if you didn't swear so much, it'd be easier for you. It might also help to be more intelligent, but I guess that's a lost cause for you, isn't it?

Ahaha. I love how you think you know shit about me. Really, it's entertaining. :)

Okay then, glad I made you happy.
