Blacks are terrible tippers?

Yeah, and if they can't agree to get their shit together, I don't know what else they're gonna do.....not my problem.

 

I usually do a straight 20% for all tip related places. Sometimes I give less if its horrible service. I usually give more to places I frequent often.

How about take-out places?
I usually stay at Courtyards when I travel and use their little bar thingy for food and bring it up to the room. I always think that does not deserve a 20%...
But always feel ambivalent about it.

 

I tip 18%-20%, but if I get terrible service (which seems to happen often at chinese restaurants) then the tip will be <=10% or no tip at all if the service was piss poor. I've been bold enough to just walk out of restaurants with bad service. As for blacks not tipping well, its not the first time I've heard it, but it seems to be more recurring in online blogs these days.

 

its no doubt for the most part whites are better tippers

 

I have a baseline of 20% as many people on here have stated. Yes, the concept of tipping, and the way the restaurant industry is structured, is wack. However, I don't mind rewarding good service. My 20% is pretty much if you are a standard good server. There's more in it for you if you are great. Even for below average servers, I have given at least 15%. I would have to feel legitimately discriminated against to pay any less. That is the only way. I treat servers very well too. I am usually very friendly with them because a.) I am a nice person, and b.) they are handling my food. Anyway, service is extremely important to me. I have sworn off establishments forever because of some bad service, and I have made it a point to frequent others because of good service. Service, to me, is of higher value than the product.

 

Me and my girl went to a Greek restaraunt over the weekend and the service sucked ass. We definitely noticed the stares from the wait staff. The waitress was rude amd at the end my girl still wanted to tip her. I seriously dont get this bs expectation. It needs to stop because some just expect it and wont work for it.

 

That's the beauty of it. Bad service = bad tip. You are in control rather than held hostage by a set fee added to your bill. She will get what she earns. If you gave her a good tip when she didn't earn it....that's on you.

 

I wasnt going to give any tip at all but Ms Sunshine didnt want to be rude or make me look like a stereotype. Smh

 

Absolutely, petty - I agree with my whole heart on this one. Would rep if I could.

For the rest of you ignorant sods, you don't deserve to eat in a decent restaurant if you don't have the sense to know that the waiter is making less than minimum wage, if you CAN'T PUT YOURSELF IN HIS/HER SHOES, and your cheap ass can't come up with at least 20% to give for his or her service. Your graciousness and good humor will go a LONG WAY in earning you a great experience at this nice restaurant, where you will be welcomed back time and time again, and be given extra things (for free at times), and extra attention.
You will be treated like a King, and you will deserve it, because you paid for it, with your hard-earned money. The waiter will be happy, because he/she busted his/her ass for you, and will be proud of the job that he/she did for you - that is what service and the customer/server relationship is all about.

Whereas, if you treat one waiter like shit, you may earn spit (or worse) in your food, and if you never come back, actually whittle down the options of good restaurants to go to, until you are the classless schmuck who only dines at Indi's Fried Chicken, the drive-thru at Chopsticks, or MacDonald's, because you SHOULD be afraid of how the servers treat your food after you re-enter an establishment when on the previous visit you treated them like shit and tipped them little to nothing. Believe me, your trifling-ass reputation will get around. I should know - I worked in a fine dining establishment for years. People who don't tip and are rude and classless are the lowest of the LOW of low-breeds. It's the same as being late, and thinking everyone should be okay with waiting on your trifling dawdling ass, because you are SO much more important than they are. How do you think the stereotype got started in the first place? Who in the fuck do you think you are anyway? Grow up and start acting like a man who actually knows how the world works.

For the record, I don't make much money, but if I don't have any, I am keeping my ass at home and making noodles. If I have some, that waiter is getting my charm, my respect, and a solid 20% of the check. This is America and that's the way things are. Until the rules change, there is no reason to make another citizen suffer just to prove your pathetic point. You would hate it if the shoe were on the other foot.

 

You should have had the balls to speak to the manager.

 

I don't fuck with other people's employment that's not my style. You have to go above and beyond for that to happen. I just my business else where.

 

SA, I'll eat where I damn well please. Until you are paying for my meals or signing my checks, shut the fuck up. Dumbass mufucka.

 

Oh, you're just late for your reservation ... (if you even MADE a reservation, knowing your modus operandi) - and fucked with the whole restaurant's organization for the night..., then give a pathetic tip, also let the waiters disrespect you and your lady by the stares, etc., and don't hold the restaurant to a higher standard by telling the management that you felt uncomfortable by their stares, and as a result were planning on taking your business elsewhere (and standing up for IR couples in the process) SO THAT YOUR LACK OF A TIP HELD MORE MESSAGE. But oh no, you didn't have the cajones to do that. That's what a really valued customer would have done - he would have been concerned about the future of the restaurant and would want the manager to know, so that he/she could address it with the server. He would be backpedaling to apologize to you. If you were that concerned about the server's "employment", you should have tipped her enough for her to help herself to survive/pay her bills, otherwise you are perpetuating the problem - it's hypocrisy. You don't give a shit about her - you're prepared for her to be paid $2.00 per hour for slaving over your ass.

Instead, you just let them think that you were JUST ANOTHER SKINFLINT BLACK DUDE BEING CHEAP AND IGNORANT, and let your girlfriend think the same (believe me, it crossed her mind - she was raised to treat serving staff well). I wonder if the "bad service" actually happened as a result of YOU behaving rudely and ignorantly, and your girlfriend was trying to make up for it because she felt sorry for the server - it would not surprise me in the least.

 

Expect to be received with disrespect and disdain for the rest of your life, wherever you go, then. You get what you put out. This is leftover butthurt slave mentality, and that's the truth.

 

lmao if you say. I love hos GFUNK straight up told you to shut the fuck up but I'm the one you want to be harsh for. You are still crushing on me huh girl? Sorry boo I'm taken but I'm flattered

 

Reported. You definitely need to go

 

Yeah, everyone is gonna hate me and blacklist me over shit like tipping, as if everyone knows my tipping mannerisms.

And slave mentality? Bitch, you're just throwing shit out now. At least try.

 

I just don't understand why you would bother to go out to a nice restaurant when you know you are basically stealing service from a hardworking employee who is hoping beyond hope that you treat them fairly, yet you have these horrible attitudes. It's like you're trying to get back at Uncle Sam for something back in the day, and you're taking it out on those who are serving you. It's not fair. Why is it a black stereotype? Think about it.

If you won't tip, go to a fast food restaurant or stay home. Act like a civilized human being. Civilized people tip properly. Period. Behave in a civilized fashion, and nobody will feel the need to throw stereotypes.

If you have never been a server, you have NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE! Stop being trifling and bitter, act decent, or stay out of tipping establishments - it's that simple.

 

Think I'll exercise my right as an American to dine wherever I please. Went to McDonalds tonight. Going to a serving restaurant over the weekend. Unstoppable.

Funny how you make not tipping sound like it's absolutely barbaric.

And I do tip now to avoid people bitching.

Oh, and it's funny how all of a sudden your posting isn't a haywire bitch-fest with out of this world insults. :smt036

 

Gotta give you credit though, SA. At least you were "civilized" enough to sign your rep.

Only disgusting barbarians leave unsigned rep. Those monsters!
