couple arrested for theft for not paying a tip

[Cream Soda]

(5:44:45 PM) Nasty Nate: I hate tipping. lol
(5:49:23 PM) Tee: lmao yea
(5:49:56 PM) Nasty Nate: I mean I do it but it's a pain in the ass for me because I don't like carrying money. I leave most of it in my bank account.
(5:50:38 PM) Nasty Nate: Last time I ate out, I told the waitress to give my change back in singles so I could tip her. She gave it back to me in 5 and 1 single so I left the 1 single and bounced.
(5:50:53 PM) Nasty Nate: She fucked her own self up

I'm a waitress, I'm in college, I make ok money or I wouldnt still be doing it. When people have problem with the service or the food and don't tip or tip horribly, I don't have a problem IF THEY TELL US WHY. We have 3 Managers on the floor during busy times, and of course the servers, if they can't be assed to explain why they tipped shitty I assume its because they are an asshole. At my restaurant there is only gratuity included for parties of 8 or more. And no we cannot split your bill when theres 8+ people there, but we do take multiple credit cards.

Also people who bring laptops and sit for hours in a restaurant should be fucking shot, we arent a coffee house and when i only get 4 tables to rotate customers, you taking up one of them is reducing my profits by 25%

@Kaparu: As you said. Upselling is the key. So many times I'll say, "would you like an appatiser like our delicious Cheesy bread stix?" and they'll just nod their heads and go "that sounds great."

Also Asians tend to tip terribly no matter what.

I once had a waitress who came to my table and wouldn't address me at all. Only addressed my g/f I was pretty fucking pissed but I kept it to myself. Let my wallet speak for me. Funny part was I was paying for the whole thing. Stupid bitch.

The first time I went to a restaurant in South Korea I left a tip on the table. They chased me down the street to return it to me. Tipping just is not done and they don't include it in the bill either.

In Canada, I'm expected to tip everywhere but I don't. If I go to Tim Horton's and the girl behind the counter turns around, pours a drink, grabs a muffin, and turns back around to face me, she does not deserve a tip. I got into an argument with my mother over this, who was horrified I refused to tip at Tim Horton's. She even gives big tips at the drive through windows!

If I'm sitting at a table and a waiter/waitress is coming to me for my order, bringing my food, and being a generally nice server (asking me if I want refills, etc) I'll give them a 15% tip.

But really, why are customers expected to make up the sucky wages of restaurant employees? I have my own sucky wages and I don't really want to suplement your sucky wages with mine.

I feel like I'm missing something here. What has she done that's so wrong?

For the most part a transaction at Tim Horton's lasts about 30 seconds. I don't know of very any people who do bother to tip. If I do "tip" I just throw whatever change I have left from my purchase in the Tim Horton's Camp money thingy. This store isn't like a Starbucks where it's a gourmet coffee. It's all just sitting there prepared it just needs to be poured. In fact, even their doughnuts are shipped in pre-prepared from wherever they get them from.

I still never understood why people like being fucking waiters/waitresses. If the money sucks without tips, why not look for another a fucking job instead of crying that someone didn't tip you? I know someone posed this question but it still fucking boggles my mind.

[Zilong]

All boils down to the lack of qualification to pursue better career path.

[Jodwahh]

It would be lovely if everyone was educated and qualified so that no-one needed to be a waitress, but then every resturant would be self service. And that would suck.

Because it's easy as shit... assuming you aren't a quadriplegic and know you'll encounter asshole customers and how to 'deal' w/ em. Also, the majority know they'll get more than minimum wage.

Are you kidding? The money is wonderful in general. Even before I started bartending, I could work 20 hours per week and be set. Now its even more of a joke, I could work one shift a week and pay my bills.

[Khajit]

Wait wait. So bartender's/waitresses can make enough money to live off of working only 20 hours and yet people in this thread bitch about people not tipping when the service is shit? OMG i feel soo sorry for the people that can make a living working half the time as everyone else getting a paycut when they suck at thier job. Perhaps even more bad than i felt at the idea of them getting a paycut when i thought they were dirt poor.

The reading comprehension issues in this thread are alarming.

There is only one true way of tipping.

1. You pull out 10-15 singles from your wallet and put it on the table.
2. Tell the server 'that is your tip and with every mistake i'll take away a dollar'.

Make sure to remove the dollars right in front of them so that they know they are messing up.

This reminds me about 10 years ago going to an all you can eat buffet in Florida while on vacation, was a party of 6, and they had the balls to charge a 15% gratuity when the only work the servers did was bring our drinks.

I've never actually eaten at a buffet, why do they have servers?

[Jefe]

To pick up your dirty dishes, unless you don't mind eating in your own filth.

Holy shit, I need to do this.

I'd rather walk them to the kitchen personally (its like 5 feet away from the food anyways) than pay 15% for someone to come do that for me.

Get take out if you dont want to pay a tip for someone doing their job (to serve you) right? AMAZING CONCEPT I KNOW

Buffets are pretty trash example of servers, I never go to buffets so I don't know how much I would give them.

[Cream Soda]

You know I was talking about buffets, right? They don't do shit to serve. Hell, most bufffets you fill your own drinks. They seat you and bring your check. What the hell does that deserve a tip for?

Also, it's a fucking buffet. To go? Unless they let me take as much as I want (all you can eat buffet), then that's a retarded suggestion.

Toshiko gets an F for reading comprehension.
