    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.

    I was a waiter at Sunriver near Bend Oregon and in the San Juan Islands at Roche Harbor. Minorities don't tip for shit. When I started in Roche Harbor, one of my older fellow servers told me up front "don't waste your time trying to drain tips out of sail boat owners (blow jobs as we used to call them) and minorities. They don't tip". She was so right.

    One particular summer in Sunriver, they had an NBA All Star week and the place was flooded with NBA players and NBA brass and all their families. Virtually everyone from the canoe excursion leaders to the wait staff and room service people were bitching. Tips were few and far between and when you did get one it was 10% or less.

    Not sure why it was that way and don't know if it still is, but your quote is right on the money from my experience.

    No tippin Scottie Pippin is no racist

    My friend was a waiter at the Heathman in downtown Portland and the bane of his existence was No tippin Clyde the Glide. My daughter waitressed in Eugene part-time while a student and her beef was with native Chinese. Sexual harassment and crummy tips.
    Had plenty of dinning experiences with members of my wife's family. They're all lousy tippers. I'll pick up the tab and tell them they can leave the tip and they still tip like crap. I don't know what it is but blaming slavery is pretty fucking pathetic.
    Do they understand the bare minimum expectation should be 15% unless the service was bad? Do they understand that most people with decent means and a modicum of human decency tip 20-30%? Moreover, do they understand how to determine what 15-30% of the tab is? I ask because many people surprisingly do not.

    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 love it when stereotypes are supported. I love it when they are contradicted as well.

    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.

    Not fast food. There's a sushi restaurant that I often place orders to go with, I never know what to leave as a tip.

    To me it is a service tip. I don't tip unless some service is involved. Me at Starbucks for takeout, no. If I was going to sit and drink it and take up a table for an hour. Sure. Me at the drive thru at MacDonald's? No way. Never punish your wait staff it the restaurant is understaffed. I'll drop the tip, sometimes to nothing if the wait staff is lazy and I'm waiting because they are phucking around. If Costco doesn't have toilet paper, it ain't the fault of the checker.
