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.

Thanks Bro!

I'm hearing that the cubanos no longer count because too many in Florida voted R. Sorry broseph

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.

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

Never gone over the speed limit?

Fuck Off and Get a Life.

One is a felony. One is a ticket. Pay what you owe asshole. Tax evaders are fuckheads.

I prefer to call it aggressive tax mitigation strategies.

There are many legal aggressive tax mitigation s

The small business service industry is all about tax evasion. One of the top lunch places in downtown Portland (white owner) was the Red Coach. Place didn't take plastic, only cash. And the cash register wasn't turned on. Just the waitresses order pad yellow receipt was kept. You think the Koreans are reporting their cash receipts from their dry cleaning business? Then the entire hispanic landscaping business is run on cash.

So? I hope they get caught.

The obvious question this poses is what Taxpayer-Funded program are you benefitting from, Damone?

Otherwise, what business is it of yours?

You’re missing my point. I get reamed on taxes. I follow the law while taking everything legal way to avoid taxes and pay the absolute minimum. If I don’t follow the law,, they will fuck me. And they have the power to do so. If someone is evading taxes (vs legally avoiding) then fuck you, and I hope you get caught and get fucked royally. I’ve had my dust ups with various tax authorities. So fuck anyone who cheats on their taxes.

This is an entirely different argument as to what I think of the tax code, the IRS and government in general. I’m sure you’re smart enough to parse this out.
