I always feel awkward when I go to a fast casual type of place and they flip the thing around to sign with my finger and theres the option for a tip. Like what. no. why you puttin me on the spot.
At the grocery checkout
Would you like to help hungry children today?
Hell no!
Always gets a laugh and they don't notice that I didn't help hungry children today -
I'm a good tipper, and I don't feel awkward. If they come and take my order and bring me my drink or food fine. If I walk into a chain driven Sushi joint, then no.Pitchfork51 said:I always feel awkward when I go to a fast casual type of place and they flip the thing around to sign with my finger and theres the option for a tip.

10% for takeout is standard. Alotta places tipshare with back of the house (chefs), especially sushi when they are more artists than chili's.SFGbob said:
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.RaceBannon said:
I don't tip at all at fast food jointsSFGbob said:
Here's something I've always wondered about tipping. If you order something to go do you still tip and how much?Kaepsknee said:I’m a 20% max guy. And it goes down from there if service sucks. But it never goes down past 10% though.
I do tip the Dasher driver
I'm also biased and over tip everywhere I go. -
Since Covid I'm just thankful that the person showed up to the job and is even reasonable friendly and competent. I don't think I've left a tip less than 25%.WestlinnDuck said:

Thread title needs changed to "Just the Tip"

Put myself through undergrad living on tips.SFGbob said: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.
Racist or not, $2.00 was pretty standard among exactly one demographic of the population, even to their own. It was a fucking joke, but we just rolled with it and turned the tables as fast as possible.
Hilarious that we used to hate Canadians and Europeans because they only tipped 10%. -
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.RoadTrip said:
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.SFGbob said:

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. -

That's a good insight that I've never ever thought about. -
I only tip for exceptional service. If you suck, expect to be rewarded with fuckall.
