Was this eat in, or take out? Wasn't  there an issue some months ago about a church group ordering take out from an Outback or something....and they went off because they didn't leave a big tip for a take out order?

A millionaire suggesting someone to some making less than minimum wage to be grateful is rich and hugely ironic. Bad form. Learn some etiquette and tip appropriately. Bad service is still service, someone waiting on you so your lazy butt doesn't have to cook at home. If you can't afford to tip, don't know how to tip, and/or can't do math for a tip, don't eat out.

I mean, I am not going to tip for bad service. Why the fug would anyone do that? I have no problem tipping for adequate service or excellent service but bad service? Hell no. I completely understand that servers typically are making less than minimum wage(a completely insane system, BTW) but that doesn't mean you can just suck at your job and then I have to subsidize it. The idea that a "tip" is mandatory is BS unless it is a large enough party the establishment has a mandatory tip(something quite a few restaurants do). 

Now all of that being said, waiters and waitresses shouldn't take heat for shitty cooks or for the restaurant being understaffed. Patrons need to be aware enough to realize when the service is shitty for other factors and not punish the servers/bartenders/etc. Another thing, don't cry about service on the internet or slam a restaurant on Yelp if you needed to eat quickly on a Friday or Saturday night and the place was packed.

Many people are never taught how or why they should tip properly. Hopefully Jackson learns how fugged up it is to leave a 4% tip on a $125 tab. I imagine he's just ignorant and not an a-hole.

Lots of notoriously bad tipping celebs btw. Tiger Woods, Scottie "no tippen" Pippen, Jimmy Page to name a few

BronBron....and i thought Smitty too.

That's a fair point. Bartenders and take out don't usually get my full 20% rule. Also delivery drivers get a flat $5 from me, regardless of what I order...unless it's huge or something.

The simley face has me thinking the service sucked.

The service may have sucked. You don’t know that it did though, and you certainly can’t tell by a childish drawing on a receipt.

Also, side note, if I ever own a restaurant and my employees are harassing or pursing bad tippers on teh interwebz/social media, you would get canned. Don't drag my business into your personal dispute with some shitty tipper. We all know they exist, it's just a fact.

Well we know exactly zero about the interaction at all. I am not going to skewer the dude for a $5 tip.

Agree. Did we find out what restaurant this was? Was it in Charlotte?

Fair enough I guess. If you are famous - it’s probably worth it for you to throw a few extra dollars on the tab to at least make it 15% to just avoid some bullshit like this. Or just have someone else pick up the check.

Looks like it's in New Orleans since there's a 504 area code at the top of the receipt

 

EDIT: I googled the number, it's for "Taste of Tokyo", looks like a sushi/hibachi style place

Out of curiosity, why not bartenders? Technically, they are doing more than servers in some cases. If it is a bar where they actually serve legit cocktails, they are doing the equivalent of the cooking and the serving.

I don't think they deserve to get drug out across social media for being a bad tipper but it is easier to just pay the unofficial "famous" tax and avoid the unnecessary headache.

Usually because the prices are inflated. If I were to order a beer at the bar, I would give $1 plus whatever cents change there was. If it was a tab with a credit acrd, it would depend on how many drinks I paid for and other variables. If it's a whole night's tab, the tip will be between $20-$50. But it all depends. Bartenders are a different thing than just a simple 20% for a server. They can end up being more or less if I'm ordering beer by beer. Also getting a beer doesn't require much of a tip. Making a mint julip or some such nonsense requires a bigger tip...and a slap in the face if ordering such a drink.
