Tipping Vol. Why am I paying you extra to do your job?

[hoosiergunner]

I'm just saying, if you don't tip, don't go back to the same restaurant, because believe me they remember.

Not tipping is a D--- move no matter how you put it.

Yeah, because Subway is comparable to a nice sushi dinner, right?

Why is it a **** move? Perhaps you should provide an argument rather than make a seemingly baseless claim.

You guys ever shop at a store where they work on commission vs a similar store where it's salary?  The service at the commission spot is ALWAYS going to be better when there is an incentive there for the worker.  




In addition to that, the prices you guys pay for the food will go up...its simple....they make less than minimum wage, so their job is to provide you with the BEST service possible. If you are too cheap to tip when this service is complete, go buy yourself a McDonalds meal or go out in a group of 8+

I made my arguments pages ago, i'm not going to repeat the same %!$@ over and over again at this point.
I'm convinced some of you are not even above the age of 23 or work a full time job (for the people who REFUSE to tip), cause if so....

[jordanpp30]

I tip waiters/waitresses good $ if the service is good.

BUT, as far as bartenders... Im not so excited to throw them a couple dollars to hand me a beer.

i throw the bartender an extra dollar with every drink. it pays off in the long run if you go to the same place a lot. they remember. mixed drinks start coming with less ice, and eventually free drinks start coming your way

I

@ people who don't tip me as a bartender

Especially if I make a cocktail or any type of mixed drink.
You go keep that bar clean without a barback and restock everything while getting paid less than minimum wage. (Like $6.25 I think)

I'm so

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_(gratuity)

A tip (also called a gratuity) is a voluntary extra payment made to certain service sector workers in addition to the advertised price of the transaction. Such payments and their size are a matter of social custom. Tipping varies among cultures and by service industry. Though by definition a tip is never legally required, and its amount is at the discretion of the patron being served, in some circumstances failing to give an adequate tip when one is expected is a serious faux pas, and may be considered very miserly, a violation of etiquette, or unethical. In some other cultures or situations, giving a tip is not expected and offering one would be considered at best odd and at worst condescending or demeaning. In some circumstances, such as with U.S. government workers, receiving of tips is illegal.[sup][1][/sup] Some restaurants require a tip, euphemistically called a gratuity, if many patrons are present at a table.

we're on page 23, quote 2 people that are "surprised"


and since you referenced "waiting" do you condone fooling around with food?

as I remember they didn't mess around with the food from the Europeans when they didn't anticipate a tip, and the Europeans didn't mind the "poor service", they just wanted their food.

and in the end, the main character was annoyed with a $100 tip, because it was condescending, but he works for tips 

 

[ricky409]

Truth, chunky...

The dude was like "I'm not trying to be on this waiting table swag forever"...

Waiting tables if not a career... Just Kylee bring a sales associate at footaction , a.can driver, pizza delivery person, or any of that other stuff that's up there on the list

 

[everysingletime]

I peeped that too. no one wants some grown %$! man drawing smiley faces on their bill. but its totally fine if a chick does it tho lol

 

[dvdjamm5150]

There's a couple of Chinese places here where they do take-out...but instead of paying at a cashier,when they give you the bags of food,they give you a receipt and expect a tip.


Is it normal to tip for takeout when you call to order and go there to pick it up?
