The Worst Tipping Celebrities.

[Kettle]

i've been giving a dollar and the change that makes it the next even dollar so i guess i'm doing alright then.

[Snake]

I do tip 20% if everything is right but that rarely happens. My motto is if you care about your job Some of the worst service I have ever had was in so called "fine dinning" restaurants. Waiters/Waitresses expect a big tip because its fine dinning and they don't do sh*t for it.

Allot of people need to understand that being Tipped is not a requirement but a privilege. Its food service and if you don't give the service then you don't get the tip.

If you can't afford to tip properly or are just too much of a cheap ass you shouldn't go out to eat. That's how these people live, they make 2.15 an hr otherwise. The restaurants are required by law to compensate up to minimum wage if their tips don't cover it in a night, but who can really live on minimum wage?

[*] Learn what it means when someone puts their utensils at 5 o'clock. It means they are done and you can take the plate without asking.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. After one time of assuming that someone was finished and the bitch all but slapped my hand...I always ask. Maybe if it's licked clean, then I'll take it..but other than that, I ask.

if you've got your server running around the place bending over backwards for you which is what a $600 bill entails, you'd better tip them right. Just karma if you ask me. I have plenty of friends that work in the food service industry....bottom line is don't fug with people who handle your food.

Sounds like we need to have less seedy individuals handling our food.

Mine was always "Are you still working on that?"

some people just like to sit there and pick at it for a while until they decide they are finished.

pre-bussing is very key though.

So a woman orders a "Fried Sirloin", and asks it to a certain temperature. First of all, a fried steak is fried, not cooked to a temperature. When the meal comes out, the server says "Here's your fried steak ma'am". She flips out, tells the server to take it back because she ordered "Fried Sirloin". Server attempts to calm the woman, says "Sirloin is steak ma'am, we just change the name to class it up a little." Sort of a backhand to the woman I'm sure she didn't get. She threatens to not pay.

So the server goes into the back, has another server bring back the same exact meal and calls it "Fried Sirloin". Then she asks for ketchup...FAIL

Servers might sometimes be seedy, but the customers are JUST as bad.

Worked in food service for almost two decades both front of the house and back, full service to fast food, dish-pig to manager, prep cook to waitron. In short Ive done it all. Just putting that out there to quell the "well you've never had to work in food service so you dont know" retorts from above.

When I sit down at the table I don't owe the waitron poo. You want a tip? Earn it.

What is earn it? Simple. Be efficient and be professional.

• I will not hold it against you if the kitchen screws you or if the host/hostess slams your section. I can tell the difference.
  
• I will hold it against you if you sit down to take my order, try to have a personal conversation about my day/my kids/my wife's clothes/or anything else besides the matter at hand.
  
• Don't ask me if you can replenish anything that doesn't cost me additional, just fill up the glass and don't interrupt my conversation.
  
• Learn what it means when someone puts their utensils at 5 o'clock. It means they are done and you can take the plate without asking.
  
• Do tell me about your specials but unless I ask do not tell me about your favorite dish.
  
• Do not serve my entree, check back in 5 and then disappear. More wait staff blows what could have been a good tip because they cant be found when I want more drink after I'm done eating or I have to wait 10 minutes for my check.
  
• Its your job to pace my meal. Bringing my appetizer, salad, and entree all within the span of 10 minutes doesn't cut it. Get in the chefs face if you have to and risk invoking that drunks wrath but its up to you to make sure I have time to enjoy my meal. This is not getting screwed by the kitchen BTW.
  

Ill tip upwards of 40% for excellent service but I wont think twice about leaving $0.50 on a check of any amount.

Except for lunch. Lunch tips are 2 bucks. Period.

Oh I agree. But you are in a service industry. You should be prepared for every sort of customer. If you arent and are thin skinned or nefarious then stop serving food.

[Kettle]

i'm so glad i'm not in the service industry any more

Point is, these people are handling your food. In my experience, it's the poorer more ignorant people that come to nice restaurants, put the waitstaff through their paces, and then don't tip shiz. The people with money are usually polite and tip well. Generalizing for sure, but I think it's pretty true.

But this is about celebrities who don't tip. They probably don't tip because they think they are better than other people, naturally.
