You are taking the hard stand that you have to tip when, by definition of the words tip and gratuity, you don't have to.
Tips stands for To Insure Prompt Service.You are taking the hard stand that you have to tip when, by definition of the words tip and gratuity, you don't have to.
And school me on the tip jar at the takeout spot, and the tip for the delivery dude? Please! School me!
Liken it to PAST PRACTICE. A customary way of doing things not written into the collective bargaining agreement. Past practices can sometimes be enforced through... etc. (the definition of past practice in case you didn't pick that up) But who cares about how things have been done for years and years and decades and centuries? Right?
Piss poor comparison and you know that. At many churches, the money in the collection bowl goes straight into the pastor's pocket instead of the church and charity.
Agreed.
No they wouldn't. You're already paying that all inclusive increase when you eat out after a certain time as many restaurants force a gratuity after 7 and 8 PM which are the times that most people eat at restaurants.

Most people would like to believe that racial discrimination is becoming increasingly rare and unacceptable in mainstream society.
But a new study suggests that African-Americans still face subtle prejudice in at least one area of life - dining out.
A survey of waiters in North Carolina revealed that nearly two-fifths admitted to treating customers differently depending on their race.
And as many as 90 per cent said they had participated in or overheard racially charged conversations among their co-workers.
Prejudice: African-Americans may be at a disadvantage when they dine out (picture posed by models)
‘Many people believe that race is no longer a significant issue in the United States,’ says Sarah Rusche, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at NC State and co-author of a paper describing the study.
‘But the fact that a third of servers admit to varying their quality of service based on customers' race, often giving African-Americans inferior service, shows that race continues to be an issue in our society.’
The article, which is published in the Journal of Black Studies, reported the results of a survey of 200 servers at 18 different restaurants in the state.
Many of the waiters questioned said they perceived African-Americans to be less polite than others, while some added that they thought black diners tipped less generously.

These beliefs led 38.5 per cent of the waiters - a large majority of whom were white - to admit that they adjusted the quality of their service based on the race of their customers.
And 52.8 per cent of those surveyed said they had seen their colleagues discriminate against African-Americans.
In American restaurants, up to a third of servers will serve customers slower simply because they are African-American
Racial discrimination is even more rife behind the scenes at restaurants, according to the study, as most servers reported hearing or joining in with 'racialised discourse'.
Close to 90 per cent said they had experienced co-workers' gossiping about the race of customers.
Sarah Rusche of North Carolina State University, one of the study's authors, commented: '"Tableside racism" is yet another example in which African-Americans are stereotyped and subsequently treated poorly in everyday situations.
'Race continues to be a significant barrier to equal treatment in restaurants and other areas of social life.'
Internet users had mixed reactions to the controversial findings.
One commenter, who claimed to be a black waiter himself, wrote: 'I am embarrassed at the seemingly deliberate ignorance of African-Americans when it comes to tipping.'
However, another warned against stereotyping an entire race based on pre-conceptions, describing the behaviour depicted in the study as 'the definition of racism'.

tipping isn't mandatory. point blank. waiters who feel the need to complain about this really should get another job, as bad as that sounds.
i substantially tip, by the way.
Who said I didn't tip? I do tip. I just don't think its mandatory. You're wrong. In 36 of the 50 states, their boss is required by law to bump their pay to minimum wage if their tips do not exceed it. So you know who is going to tip by basing off of stereotypes and prejudices? I already knew you were a racist as you've shown on here throughout the years, but thanks for confirming it just a bit more. Read the article I posted.Says the guy who doesnt tiphave you waited tables? I doubt it, and NO - waiters and waitresses dont make $#*() without tips, so what are you talking about. Learn to cook if you cant afford to eat out. Oh, and if you've waited tables,for the most part (there are surprises, but by and large ) YOU KNOW who is gonna tip and who is gonna treat you like a slave and give you jack$#*() before they even order
In New York City they do regardless of party size after 8 PM.
Moron. Making comparisons that have nothing to do with the original argument.That's the same thing the homophobe says to try and prove he isn't a bigot. "I have a gay cousin by the way...." or "I have a black friend by the way....."

homophobia and racism being analogous to tipping or not tipping? This type of logic is heartbreaking, I understand your plight...but you go to far!
