Tipping is optional.


OPTIONAL.

It an unspoken rule that you tip... the wait staff gets paid well below minimum wage for such said reasons



and that waiter didn't do any work for you, so why would you pay them?

If you went to work, and sat there and did nothing, what would happen?

I tip according to the level of service received. If it is bad enough, I have no problems leaving nothing but if I have time I will speak with the Manager so they understand.

I call that Thursday, usually what would happen is I'd go home and then come in on Friday and try to do as little as possible as well.

Being a moderator I KNOW you're not new here but could you possibly save your reasonableness and helpful contributions for the 5th or 6th page. please?

We still have a LOT of bickering and name-calling and whining about below-minimum-wage workers and cheap jerk Americans who won't tip enough and stupid people who throw their money away needlessly ahead of us, here.

I don't want to have to tell you again.

another consensus from this thread

I thought I WAS making a statement by only leaving 10 percent..

A better message would have been no tip at all.

Not everyone is a beggar like yourself, recession or no... =]

I would love to hear the logic(or lack there of) behind that. The waitstaff is the one "begging" for extra cash just for doing their job.

The logic is that you're poor and thus too cheap to pay people for doing a job. Get a real job, you mooch. rofl its not my responsibility to pay people to do their job....thats the responsibility of their employer. Learn how the real world works before spouting off inane crap again, kthnx.

Onslaught, when are you going to learn not to reply to NON in a thread about tipping? He is a lost cause, he lacks empathy.

Waiters around here usually make more per hour than i do, so my tip starts at 0%. If they just do their job, then no tip. Thats what they are paid to do after all. If they are extra friendly (without driving me nuts ), then i will tip 10%. I have tipped 200% before but that was because my daughter puked on the floor and the waitress that cleaned it up was still cheerful, and her only comment was "profanity happens" instead of freaking out.
