Never said that but rock on. They deserve fair compensation for their labor, the burden of which should be placed on their employer like it is in every other industry. And they can factor it into their prices by calculating overhead, operating expenses, profit margins, etc. and set their prices accordingly, again like every other industry. If you want $20 for something, tell me you want $20 and I'll give you that or not. Don't tell me you want $17 and just take for granted I'll give you $20. It's a stupid system that really works well for nobody except employers paying waitstaff $2.15 an hour

We all know what bad service is.

Staff know what bad service is.

End of the day if someone doesn't live the standard have personally as a customer its your prerogative to tip or not.

No matter what wait staff need the wage increase. There is countless testimony from owners and customers to how well service is in establishments that pay their staff close or above 15 dollars a hour. Those same studies show overwhelming customers still tip and in greater amounts becusdw thr service reflects their raised standards.

I watched a ted talk where a man spoke about how incentive based payments don't work beyond manual labor positions. If you work a ups and tey tell you that unloading two trucks instead of one means a extra 100 dollars people hop too. But when you take a job function where the very structre of how an employee is able to complete is reliant on others performances as well as their own suddenly those incentives dont yield better results.

Like someone said a waiter can be busting their *** hitting as many tables and making sure they get what they need but if the kitchen over seasons the salmon or undercooks the chicken the waiter is punished with little to no tip. The cooks and bussers get paid regardless.

My own experience working as a waiter in Seattle when i was young for tips and 7 dollars a hour sucked. I moved to the bay area for college and got a job waiting tables in san francisco. Tjey paid me 10 dollars a hour ( back in 2006) and i still got tips. Bruhs i loved thst job. I got paid somethkng thst allowed me to pay bills and tips gave me extra to save and enjoy my weekend.

No one should have to rely on tips to live so the sooner we get a increase in workers pay the better we all will vew

!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Anytime I go to an event where there is valet and open bar I make sure to bring cash.
 
i used to not tip friends. then i saw how bummy it was not to at least offer, so i at least offer now.
 
What? Homies that are waiters/waitresses are getting hooked up especially since they probably lookin out on a discount.
 
The best are true homies who don't expect that tip. My homey gets me 50% off Mr. Porter and he always tries to decline tips. I'm like bro you're saving me hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars. Take this tip papi

Eh I make alright money. It's more like I'll get you and then the next time usually they the first one to grab the bill. So you get into a rotating pattern :lol: sometimes the bill will be huge the next low. It happens. I'm not watching how many drinks they get either.

If anything we say take another lol
You have to know the homies too. Which will have your back and those who are stingy.

As said, if the service is good then I'll tip if not then no.
 
****** tipping friends

one of my friends automatically fills out a big 0 in the tip spot whenever i go see her.

if im your friend, id rather help out some other way than just giving you straight cash: buy drinks/dinner/lunch/whatever some time.

just feels weird to me. i will at least offer though.

It's weird. I've heard Japan has the best service ever but they'll get upset if you tip them because it's a sign of disrespect. Meanwhile we get mediocre service here and everyone's entitled to a tip and gets upset if they get a dollar less than what they expect. That being said, I tip well cause that's how this system is built and the waiter getting a decent wage depends on me tipping.

not even that it's "disrespectful".

people just don't do it. they'd be more like oh this dude accidentally overpaid
 
My dads group of buddies go on an annual trip, one guy always go out to eat at fast food joints by himself an hour before the group goes out, so when they're out, he don't eat just drinks, and when it comes to splitting the bill, he pulls the same "but I didn't even eat" card. They let if fly becuase he's the Costanza of the group (dudes professionally successful btw)

im learning there's a lot of Costanzas on NT...
 
But why should he pay an equal share if he just had drinks? He should just get his own bill really

What are you even going on about? He just had drinks he should pay his share of drinks and tip according to that
 
Dude shouldn't be paying an equal share as everyone else, but going out to eat at a cheaper restaurant before going to a restaurant with friends/family/coworkers/etc. just isn't a good look.  

There are plenty of opportunities in life to be frugal.  I'm of the opinion that nights out/time with friends isn't one of them.  The biggest thing that bugs me about some of my friends is that they nitpick the bill at restaurants/bars and whip out their calculators so that they can give their exact allotments, because god forbid they spend a penny more than what their food and drinks were valued at.  Then there's the person that thinks that they don't have to contribute to the tip.

It's annoying and tends to ruin the mood when everyone is supposed to be having fun.  These days I find myself dropping $10-15 more than what I owe in cash on the table and immediately excusing myself when the check comes.  I want no part of the nonsense that's bound to ensue.

You wanna be a cheapskate in life?  That's fine.  Just do it on your own terms and don't expect anyone else to co-sign it.
