fukk.... 2-3 bucks an hour? what is the minimum wage in america? up in canada, im gettin 8 an hour (minimum wage) plus all the tips i (doing a delivery job)... usually like 40-50 in tips + whater the 8*hours i work is a night

Around the same, but they don't have to pay waiters minimum wage.

i always leave a tip, the amount depends on the service

i like to make things round so if my bill is $16 i will leave $20, but if my bill is $18 i will probably still leave $20 plus whatever change i have unless the service was outstanding then i will leave $25, just makes it easier for me.

at bars i never tip for an individual drink unless the drink leaves me with a quarter. if i am paying $3 for a beer there is no way in hell i am tipping a buck each beer. i will either leave $5 at the end of the night to the bartender who served me the most or give a buck every 3-4 drinks

as for tipping my mechanic, **** that, he already makes $50 an hour off me

Not all places are like that. Some restaurants get special treatment and don't have to pay their employees the same as every other business.

not our fault the owners a cheap ***. steve buschemi from reservoir dogs said it best. worlds smallest violin playing just for the waitresses. if they dont make enough quit.

You're an idiot. The price of the food is listed on the menu. The price of the service is a function of that. If you dont like it, go get fast food or learn how to cook. Cheap ignorant bastard.

I do not agree with people who think tipping is mandatory. When I hear people say that it makes me want to leave a tip even less.


Discuss.

i hope you dont go to the same establishment more than once. if they remember that you didnt tip, they WILL fuck with your food. cheap *** dick

sometimes going by the bill isnt a good factor in basing your tip

if your at a fancy restaurant and you order a steak or filet that costs $30 that takes as much effort to bring to your table as an $7 burger at another restaurant

if you tip 20% as a general rule is it really worth about $4 more just because the food costs 4 times as much although the amount of service was the same?

Nice Guy Eddie: C'mon, throw in a buck!

Mr. Pink: Uh-uh, I don't tip.

Nice Guy Eddie: You don't tip?

Mr. Pink: Nah, I don't believe in it.

Nice Guy Eddie: You don't believe in tipping?

Mr. Blue: You know what these chicks make? They make sh.t.

Mr. Pink: Don't give me that. She don't make enough money that she can quit.

Nice Guy Eddie: I don't even know a ****ing Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don't ever tip?

Mr. Pink: I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.

Mr. Blue: Hey, our girl was nice.

Mr. Pink: She was okay. She wasn't anything special.

Mr. Blue: What's special? Take you in the back and **** your dick?

Nice Guy Eddie: I'd go over twelve percent for that.

I'm very suprized no one posted that yet...

It explains everything you need to know about tipping.

Yeah, because then we wouldn't have waitresses. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Think of it like this...

Most commercial restaurants pay around $2.14/hr in wages. That is a base wage salary. As in some sales positions, you get a base + commission. A waiter/waitress's tip is their commission. Their total salary is based on their base salary and their commission. They are also taxed accordingly. As in sales, their service requires a minimum commission. Most states have regulated that to 15% of the total bill. We call this "gratuity". You are paying them for bringing you your food/drink. If you choose to tip more, then that is then considered a "tip". If you feel that your service was not up to par, then don't leave a tip. However, you are required by law to leave gratuity to pay for the services that you received. If you didn't like your service, complain to the manager about it. He/she will surely do something about it. Its as simple as that.

not where i live its not...its the employer's responsibility to make up the difference up to minimum wage. the only exception i've seen is on parties with 15 people or more...the gratuity is included in the bill. So unless the employer adds the gratuity hidden in the price of the food...it is optional here in ohio
