this idea that all servers must be tipped has gotten increasingly worse over the years, and this is coming from someone that worked in the food industry for a while. tips should be reserved for GREAT service. you shouldn't have to look at your bill and automatically tack on at least 20%, especially if the service is terrible.

I received terrible service yesterday at a BWW and left a 2 dollar tip. oh and this whole taking a picture of someones bill and posting it on social media thing is ridiculous too. it just goes to show that servers think they're entitled a tip regardless of their service because they're busy and it's hard work. 

I understand that some servers make a minimum wage salary and rely on tips to make ends meat, but that should inspire them to give excellent service and be very cautious of how they treat customers and handle apologizing or making up for their mistakes before the bill is paid. 

Some places, from my understanding, pay servers less than minimum wage. The difference is supposed to come from tips, as these are service jobs...

So... that's a whopping $2.13 an hour in NC...

But you just can't bring yourself to tip well because Susie took too long to fetch your food or didn't refill your drink 100 times because you're storing fluids in your humps like a camel?

If you can't tip at least 10%, stay your entitled, uppity, worthless self at home... IDGAF how much money you make...

Most people get it. Bad service = no tip. 

I don't care that the server makes their money off tips. Want a good tip, do your job, which isn't difficult. 

I don't ask much from my waiter/waitress. Timely, friendly service, keep the drinks filled, and communicate any problems. 

If you can't do that, then ya shouldn't be in the business.

would pie this twice if I could...

Most of the people here agreeing with DWill probably generally tip around 10-15% for even great service.
 

exactly

 

ignorance abound.

 

The type of people that sit around waiting for the server to make a mistake so they can all look at each other, silently nod their heads and leave a crap tip while feeling like a social justice warrior.

AND if the service was spectacular?  They'd probably leave like $10 at at most, no matter how big the bill is.

servers seem to think they are entitled to a mim. Tip, regardless of service. 

That attitude can kiss my ass.

If you were forced to work a minimum wage job basically being people's slave for 45 minutes or more, you'd think you were entitled to at least minimum wage. That's $7.25 an hour, and I illustrated that, in several states, these people get $2.13 and hour.

Throw in a swamped time frame, undependable co-workers, poor management, etc. and add in people with the shitty mindset of "oh these servers (slaves) are so entitled" and you get a big effing problem...

why can i short a server for poor service but i can't short the establishment for poor food. like if mcdonalds gives me a burger that doesn't look like it does in advertisements i should be able to walk out the door with it without paying and without the police getting involved

Because it's not theft if I don't tip. Make it a law to tip 15% and I'll tip 15%. Otherwise I'll treat a DISCRETIONARY TIP as what it is - discretionary.

No the law should be that workers should make minimum wage, no matter the industry... Then you can all tip the size of your peckers and nobody will give much of a poo how small it is...

I know some black folks (and some are waiters/waitresses too) that say black people are just terrible tippers, regardless of service provided.  Obviously this is a stereotype but I've never really been refuted when I ask black people this (and not just a handful).    Anyone else run into this and why do you think it's a thing, if it is?   Maybe a tinderbox question but I'm legit curious.

 

Anyway, me personally, even if bad service, I usually leave a normal amount, I don't think I've ever left nothing, ever.  I just feel bad if I do, and, really just don't know what that person is going through that day, at their home, with their kids, etc.   I've been fortunate and never had to work a job for tips (not putting those folks down at all, because I couldn't do it) and I could only imagine having to earn like that and have a job having to be nice the whole time, every day.
