Word to the wise - tip your hair stylist/barber or you'll end up looking like the Dazzler.

Lol that doesn't make sense. You tip after the cut

If we're going to bash Moe's haircut, I'm out.

They keep notes. You'll get the Dazzler cut the next time in.

If you think about it, Moe actually had the nicest looking hair of all the stooges.

The Dazzler is the tallest midget, too.

Sounds like someone is trying to come up with an excuse to justify the fact that they are a shitty tipper. Talk to anyone who has waited tables.

A new study finds many waiters and waitresses feel that black Americans generally tip less than restaurant diners who are white. The study, by a researcher at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration, found that blacks tip on average 20 percent less than whites. In addition, restaurant workers of all races dislike waiting on black people because they assume the tips will be less no matter how good the service. NPR's Juan Williams reports.

Worst tippers are Indians followed by blacks and then Europeans.... then the tech bros from SF... Latinos are somewhat decent.

If you get an older Indian person (dot not feather), expect nothing for a tip.

I always refused service to Native Americans, because I did not want to colonize them.

I’m a 20% max guy. And it goes down from there if service sucks. But it never goes down past 10% though.

Here's something I've always wondered about tipping. If you order something to go do you still tip and how much?

I suppose it depends on what kind of establishment the place is. If it's a large restaurant, the cooks get paid differently than the wait staff so no unless you want to give a few bucks to the hostess or whoever packed it up for you.

I worked in nice joints all the way through college, and I tipped out the bartenders, hostesses, bussers and the line from my wad. When 5 or 6 waiters are all doing the same, each guy on the line walks home with about an extra $20-$25 in his pocket every shift he works. Bussers get even more tips because they earn less per hour than the guys on the line, and waiters were paid sub-minimum wage while declaring no less than 8% tips on their sales.

If you're good, you're averaging 18% and clearing 13% on a typical night shift, so the 5% non-taxable bonus is a gift for busting your ass.

My experiences were great, the system worked, Seattle won international awards for having the best service industries in the world and everybody was happy.

Then came the lazy, entitled, untalented socialists fomenting their revolution from shitty, overpriced, fair-trade coffee shops where the tip jar became a fixture like the penny trays at 7-11. Tipping shifted from a reward to a tax and it's been downhill ever since. Service in Seattle almost uniformly sucks compared to 20 years ago.

Welcome to the totalitarian world of mandatory everything.

Fuck Off, Socialists. You ruin every fucking thing you touch.

Non taxable?

Mandatory reporting of 8% while going home with 13% or so, if you're any good.

My thoughts on tipping:

1. It's literally people voluntarily giving workers extra money. Imagine thinking this is a bad thing.

2. It should only occur when paying for a luxury service, such as dining at a full service restaurant or having food delivered to your house.

3. In some states it's legal to pay servers half or significantly less than minimum wage, and I agree that is bullshit. Tipping is a solution for low wage workers to earn more, not a reason for businesses to pay them less.

4. Tips shouldn't be expected. I was a server for years, and overall I made damn good money. The secret is to always have the mentality that nobody owes you a tip. You have to constantly earn it. At one point I went 6+ months in a row with every table tipping me. No stiffs. Other servers would complain about a stiff at least once or twice a week. I'd always say to them "what could you have done better?"

5. If we eliminate tipping and instead charge customers more, we are still paying the same for the service, but without the option to give more or less based on the service received. It also removes the internal reward of feeling about giving somebody some extra money. People LIKE to tip.

Never got stiffed as a waiter.

But as a bartender? Many times. Turns out cutting drunk people off thwarts their generosity.

If you were ever such a dick as to ask me what I could have done better, I'd have punched you in the face.

So it's all taxable. You're just breaking the law. Got it.
