Giving Tip for Delivery?

[Peep Game]

My trim/shave is $7, and his tip is $0 cause he's always "on his way" which translates to "'I'm still in the bed"

I bet if you tipped right, he's already be on his way instead of "still in bed".

Being that I know him extremely well, this is false, as he's lost plenty of clients just from strolling in on a Saturdau at 3:30, probably the prime haircut day for everybody .

I'm always tipping just because. I tip my food servers, delivery dudes/gals, barber, sometimes even other service people. Everytime I go to a restaurant to eat I end up tipped $10 and my meals always are under $15. Feel like I gotta slow that down and stop doing it so much. That $10 adds up

Most people don't understand how much tipping well can actually help you in the long run. I'm a waiter. We all have SHARP memories when it comes to good and bad tippers. If you go to a restaurant often, and you tip bad (under 15% is BAD, and 18-20% is expected), the waiter will remember you. He/she will also tell all other waiters in the restaurant if you tipped bad too, and they will all memorize your face. Next time you come in, don't be surprised with how bad your service is. 

Likewise, if you tip well (over 20%), the waiter will tell all the other waiters about it, and the next time you come in, you'll be amazed with the service. If I know a certain guest is a GREAT tipper, I will go above and beyond to make sure every little details exceeds their expectations. If I know a guest is a bad tipper, or if another server lets me know they are, that guest gets THE BARE MINIMUM of service. At the end of the day I average 20-22% tips, so that's just what I expect. 

Everywhere I'm a regular, I get amazing service, because they know I'm gonna tip atleast 20%, and most likely more. I often skip the wait if there is one, and/or I get hooked up fat. At my local bar the other night, I had SIX DOUBLE JAMESONS on the rocks, and my girl had 5 grey goose and sodas. My total bill was 15 dollars (yes, just 15), instead of what should have been over 80 easily. So I toss the bartender 40 total which is almost 200% tip. My overall total was still less than half. And so the circle continues. 

TLDR: It's worth it to tip well. If you go to a certain bar a LOT...then tip stupid fat. Watch your future bills get smaller, and your drinks and service get exponentially better. It's not rocket science. Tipping well in many cases will actually save you money while getting better service.

your math is wrong. its 60. but if you gonna drop 20 on it i bet that you never dropped that much on a meal before.

The fact that I made an error doesn't prove a thing.

Of course I never dropped $300 on "a" meal. But if I did I'm only tipping $20.

$500 with $100 tip lolllllllll. Never.

Find a new place to work if you have problems paying ur bills.

Or find a new place to work. It's not my responsibility to put money in your pocket and the company's as well. That's their job.

if you can afford the meal 1 bill wouldn't be a problem. Continue going to Applebee's for you 2 for 20.

Nah I think I'll continue to go where I want and not tip anything over $20.

Continue on.......

cool ... I'm going to leave it at that. Good luck ... I bet the best restaurant you have been to is call red lobster.

Going to a regular bar, spent in the 100s a few nights and left a hefty tip. On a less rowdy night our 60 dollar bill came out to 15 bucks, still left 40 off the strength and that circle continued. Take care of the staff and owner and you'll have a great time.

 

[datznasty]

If you're tipping $20 on a $300 bill, you probably shouldnt be eating out in the first place. That's just wrong....smh.

Why?? Just because it's more expensive doesn't mean the waitor/waitress necessarily did more work. $20 for a table of 2 who was there 30 minutes is a good tip. You can spend close to 3 bills easy somewhere like Ruth Chris for a party of 3 or even 2 if you have drinks. If you wait at AppleBee's, Denny's, Chili's caliber places, I'm sure they'd be offended at the notion people at nicer places automatically deserve more for the same work.

 

[thug]

The fact that some of you are cheap with tipping is a reason why restaurants automatically calculate the gravity when they bring the bill. Now you have to pay it regardless of how bad the service is

I never said ANYTHING about where people were eating OR the type of service you are getting. Here's where I will make an assumption...I'm going to assume for this scenario the service was good. The point of my argument was whether it is a $300 bill at a place like Applebee's or a $300 bill eating at BLT Steak, tipping $20 is flat out wrong. If the service was good and that's all you can muster to pay at the end of your meal, maybe you shouldn't be spending that much in the first place to eat out.

Why do y'all act like people have to tip? And then if they do tip, people complain about how cheap the tip was can't win

thought we doing percentages not nominal amounts. imagine dude being in vegas with bottle service just dropping a 20 because the bottles are "marked up"

Serious question, not necessarily to you, but to all the non-tippers in here.

Did your Mom/Dad ever teach you about the social expectations of dining out, or were your Mom/Dad non-tippers as well?

30 minutes at a table, $300 bill at Applebees? $20 is generous. Its not about percentages everytime.

Wtf .. You think 30 minutes at Applebee's that render a $300 dollar bill is easy? You know how much food or people you have to served? Come on ....

Smh ...

 

[jjs07]

What is this 30 min a table? How do you even figure that $20 is appropriate for good service on a $300 bill? Glad I got no one in my inner-circle like some of yall. Some of yall would be a ******* embarrassment to dine with.

I honestly have no problem w/ gratuity being added to checks. It really does put a wrench of the plans of the tipping contrarians and cheapskates.

Shoudnt of said Applebees, just wrote that cause thats what other duke said, bad example.

But anyways.

I double the tax usually. Always considered myself a good tipper, but if im with one other person on a date or whatever and my bill is $200, im gonna tip $20-$30 max, regardless of tax. Im not trying to break my wallet, and if you say I shoudnt of gone there, oh well.

30 is appropriate not the best but appropriate.. It's 15%.

 

[datznasty]

You carried food from the kitchen to the table though, let's not act like it's backbreaking labor you were being sentenced too at the hand of the customer. The chef would have the most right to be upset in that hypothetical, but I was talking about "nice" restaurants where a $300 or more bill between 2 to 4 people is common place for just an appetizer, entree, and drink.

 

[jjs07]

How do you non-tippers handle eating w/ a group?

 

[picasso swerve]

30 is appropriate not the best but appropriate.. It's 15%.

Hope this isnt a real holier than thou attitude and were just talking extra in relation to the thread.

I have friends who tip well and wanna humble brag the whole time. Extra annoying. 

Tipping in a group is easier, youre putting out $5 max unless it was a HUGE meal with 15+ heads.
