FYI the industry standard tip is 18% before the discount!
Any way i just wanted to rant

Really, it's 18%? It seems like this number slowly creeps up every few years. I just don't understand how every other industry builds things into the base price except food services. From my understanding as well, it isn't a global thing. I'd complain about waiters, but really it's a double ended racket. Consumers in this time don't want to get charged out the nose, and are pinching pennies, while below minimum wage people get shafted.

Uh, are half the responses in this thread a troll?

There are special minimum wage laws for waiting staff, due to their jobs being highly performance based. The majority of the money they make is from tips.

This and good lord the fucking retards on this board. People ready to call OSHA and shit with no understanding of labor law.

in attempt to derail your complaining thread, with food service on topic...

How do people feel about fast-food/deli/take-out/etc places (e.g. places where waiting/service isn't really there apart from a cashier) having a TIP blank on the receipt upon using credit/debit? Do you ever tip such places why/when/etc.

I base tips on prompt service, politeness, checking-on for drinks, attitude etc.

Politeness and attitude may apply for what you've listed but the other factors weigh more heavily at a restaurant and sometimes prompt service is out of the cashier/servers hands at a deli / fast food joint.

I'd rather they make minimum wage + time earned over tips. Then again I usually tip 20-30% on avg so maybe I'm being a cheap fuck on their part.

If I have it delivered, I give the driver a tip.

If I'm picking it up myself, I don't tip.

If I'm at a sit-down restaurant, I tip 15% minimum, 20% if they're outstanding.

On-topic, that sucks about all the Mother's Day business. I used to work at a CVS, and it's just as busy there with people buying cards/candy as as a restaurant. I feel for you OP

Yeah, I've seen that number alot more lately, but when I was in high school the "suggested gratuity" was 15% or so. I think I might have been to some restaurants that automatically charge it to you, but don't quote me on that.

Some restaurants don't allow employees to accept tips if they are paid more than minimum wage, but subway does. Publix and Winn Dixie have signs that ask customers not to tip. Alot of the Latino supermarkets (if not all of them) in NYC always had that flat, cut-off soda base for tipping the baggers and I always saw them full of change every day that I went.

I always think that if the service experience is non-existent/shitty, then don't tip. Most people in the service industry seem to want to help you, but if someone there is ever rude to me, I wouldn't go back. If it's meh, I'll tip at least a dollar. I'll tip more if I felt good about the service

tip 20% regardless. stop being fags

well, at least it is busy

[Conrad]

"it's" can be a contraction for both "It is" and "It was," shut up >(

edit: Dictionary.com failed me, for the last time.

[_chuchu]

I didn't mean that, my bad. Was just placing emphasis on the "is" in my statement/post

as someone that's served in restaurants and been a delivery driver and dealt with shit like delivering 30 damn minutes away to the farthest possible fucking point in the boondocks only to have the piece of shit demand his 18 cents of change back...


no.

don't tip people that are pieces of shit, they don't deserve to be in the "decent" part of the industry, and can take their asses to McDonalds if they want to be lazy retarded fucks by choice

[Stromgarde]

I thought 15% was standard. When did this change?

[Plow]

also, we should fuck each other's mothers

[Kenshiin]

I just started serving about 2 months ago. I released my shift today because I knew it would be nuts and I didn't want to deal with all the hassle. I'm glad I did because I had a nice day with the wife.

[Cyn]

I tip based on how cute and flirty the waitress is.

cue Reservoir Dogs restaurant scene.

20% is easier to calculate off the top of my head and the plus side it makes you look like a generous prick. This has its advantages.

A+ trolling.

[Jefe]

Tip? Fuck that.
