I'm young and latino. So we're in the same boat I guess. But I can't really remember the last time I got bad service. I'd say it's all inhow you and the server hit it off. They always approach like, "Hello, my name is ___, how are you all doing this evening?" And I follow with a properresponse, "Fine and yourself?" It's a way to distinguish yourself I guess from the young and immature. I say just present yourself as a humbleindividual. If that doesn't work, the tip goes lower, and lower, and lower. But I've never had to stiffsomebody. Co-sign on bad-service @ Denny's tho. That's the worst cust. service I've ever gotten anywhere.

Lol...
Go ahead and give me bad service, I'll leave a tip anyways...
But you can go ahead and pay for my meal after I skip on the bill....

Word, I always feel bad and leave something. Sometimes I leave a note telling them why the tip was short.Originally Posted by tylerhundley

You have to admit though, its a smart move on the restaurant owner's side:
Keep most of the revenue for yourself, minimize expenditures (ie wages, usually the biggest component of a company's expenses) by paying workers belowminimum wage.
Then make YOUR customers feel bad for your workers (tips are how they survive on these streets, sir!) and pressure them into tipping. Having yourcustomer's subsidize your payroll? Pretty smart if you ask me.
Working at IHOP, I got a 12-14 people having a graduation dinner....$70 tip. All black people.
Maybe I'm just a better waiter
That could be true as well. Some waiters just expect to get Saudi-type tips, regardless of how they perform.
I'd have to say though that potential customers who either a) Look rich or b) are female or c) look mature are going to get preferential treatment,regardless. I see this all the time at car dealerships.

Do black people not tip well bc they just don't like to tip/are cheap/whatever or bc there's already a preconceived notion that we don't tip sotherefore the service is poor?

hate when this happens. me and my girl like to eat out, but its just fustrating. one time we went to "black bear diner" and waited an hour and a halfjust for our order to be taken. didn't noticed cause we were enjoying eachothers company, but def was mad after checking the clock. another time, i had asprite with no ice (hate ice cause it waters down the drink with all the ice they use at restaurants) and the lady came to fill me up and asked what i had andi told her sprite, but she didn't believe me and poured me water thinking i was trying to get a free drink, then our first waiter walked in and told her(she never came back after that). and almost every time we go out to eat they take their time to take our order, almost never check up on us, and whenwe're ready to go they are never anywhere around to help us. SMH at people like that
