I don't work corporate and my boss will defend me because there are tons of assholes like you out there in the world. (I am also not providing profanity service to my customers)



If you want to give bad service, get a job that doesn't rely on tips.

I tip for service, not charity.

The problem is to many people go out to eat and stiff the wait staff just because they are cheap.

Politics aside it is kind of funny

I find myself wondering when and where the idea that a tip was for good service died.



When they decided to pay servers well below minimum wage, probably.



I'm not trying to be mean but I've had awfully bad service and still left 15% or more. If you make less than minimum you'd think the tips would mean more to you, not less.

They are required to pay them minimum wage.

Servers claim their tips and if they don't claim enough to hit minimum wage their paycheck will make up for it.

I've never met a server who claimed anywhere near all of their tips though.

edit: The disconnect seems to be that while there are a lot of people who do not tip simply because they are cheap, there are also a lot of servers who are terrible because they know they will get tipped by "nice" people anyway.

It's a terrible cycle that I'm not sure how we will ever get out of.

Prove that a banker was the one who did this. Name a name, otherwise, STFU and stop doctoring receipts.



I hope you're not naive enough to think this doesn't happen. It's happened to me before. A group of three come in, buy a sh** load of food and alcohol. have to wait on them for 3 hours, I got a penny as a tip for a bill over $200.

That's why I quit. lol



It's funny when assholes do that profanity, then whine when they find out their food has semen in it and someone pissed in their drinks.

CORRECTION:

On Monday evening, True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach released an official statement based on their investigation (described above) into the authenticity of the purported receipt showing a 1% tip. The restaurant's statement reveals that their hard receipt copies do not, in fact, match the photo (shown above) that was initially posted on futureexbanker.wordpress.com (since taken down). The complete statement from True Food Kitchen:

We’re glad to respond to the news stories about a tipping incident at True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach.

Our first concern upon learning about this situation was our staff. We are very fortunate to have employees that are talented, bright, and undoubtedly, some of the best in the business.

However, we would like to report that there is misinformation circulating about this situation. The dining receipt that was originally posted on the blog, Future Ex Banker, and then republished by various websites, was, in fact, altered and exaggerated. We’d also like to assure people that the receipt was not posted and altered by anyone on behalf of True Food Kitchen. We respect our guests’ privacy and take it very seriously; we would never share personal information.



Truly...
