OK, tipping first....
I hate tipping. I know why I hate it, it's because I come from a country that doesn't tip, and I've lived the last 5 years in another country that doesn't tip. I spent 6 months in the states and I hated it every time I tipped.
- service doesn't improve or get worse if you tip, so what's the point
- you're expected to tip even if the service/food/drink is shit
- there's some sort of status attached to how much you tip that is TOTALLY DISCONNECTED from getting good service
- there's always someone at the table who worries about this size of the tip
Honestly, how hard would it be to include a service charge into the menu price and pay everyone a normal wage.
-
I gave up thinking about this 10 years ago.
Some service does go all out for the tip though, the tourist towns. My example would be K, she worked her ass off for fuck all some nights.

FUCK TIPPING AND FUCK THE WAIT STAFF IF THEY CANT GET REAL JOBS...
-
thank you
-
FUCK TIPPING AND FUCK THE WAIT STAFF IF THEY CANT GET REAL JOBS...
-
Thing is wait staff here get paid reasonable wages... tipping is only for good service, and completely voluntary.
-
Agreed ...
-
I totally agree with Mr. Pink. The whole thing about it being what society says I should do. Fuck that. It's just an excuse for restaurants to pay their employees SHIT and have the customers pay them what THEY should. Fucking bullshit.
-
Agreed ...

Someday, in the not too distant future...
"Here's your check sir. There's a 40% courtesy charge added because certain nationalities in the Southern hemisphere like to be assholish. I'll take that whenever you're ready. Have a pleasant day!"

"Oh you must be mistaken, sir, because I would never spend money at a place that charged that much! I chose to eat in instead. Thanks! Oh, by the way, you don't get any tip."
-
Thing is tipping isnt an incentive if it's expected. If I had a restruant and my staff were surviving on tips, then I'm not employing the best staff I can get. I'd rather pay better money for great staff and let tipping them be a voluntary thing than hire drooling, barely upright simians incapable of dressing themselves to serve my customers. And there wouldnt be a courtesy charge at the bottom of the bill. Sure, the food might be a bit more expensive, but you're not just paying for the food when you go to a nice restraunt.

I totally missed this thread.
What do you do when you go out with a guy who only tips 10%?

Raise the bar. Duh.
-
What do you do when you go out with a guy who only tips 10%?
10% of the total?

i skipped all the posts in this thread except the first one. i fucking HATE tipping and will not be persuaded otherwise.
that said, i do tip generously, especially in bars i frequent (you make your money back and then some in free drinks, especially in the city where shit is super expensive)
but what the fuck is up with tip jars EVERYWHERE now??? like why should i tip at dunkin donuts? they are literally just doing their job. a waitstaff/bartenders i could see they could concievably do some extra shit to earn a tip. but someone handing me a cup of coffee? am i tipping them so they don't throw the coffee in my face?
and why do we tip cab drivers? i am never going to see this person again. even if i take a cab every day for the rest of my life i will never see him again. he was on the phone like a 16 year old girl the entire time, almost killed me 3 times, did kill 1 pedestrian, and took the long way to kill time and sit in traffic. here's an extra 2 dollars cos i am, technically, still alive.

have you told him that you want more than just the tip?
you could also try pulling him toward you, and thrusting yourself upwards.

Awww isn't it cute, Luke tried to make a joke! :P

it was risky, too! i had to wait for an appropriate response, and hope that you didn't catch on to what i was doing!

I hate tipping because I write inappropriately large numbers on that line when I've had too much to drink.

this is another reason i don't get drunk at bars. it makes me fail at math.

when I retire I'll come to the states and we'll go to a bar and not tip

Here's how I feel about tipping... I've waited tables and it's a shitty thankless job. The restaurant pays you shit, and you average about 10% of your food sales in tips. Then, you're expected to tip out the bar staff and the buss staff. Next, the govt assumes that you will walk out the door with at least 8% of your food sales in tips and they tax you accordingly and take those taxes out of the paltry pay check you get from your hourly wages.
That being said, I feel uncomfortable tipping below 15%. If I've gotten good service I tip 20%. Once or twice I might have tipped 10% for really lousy service.
When I was younger I worked at sandwich shoppes and pizza joints, and it appals me that someone doing that job would put out a tip jar. In fact, when I was doing those jobs people would try to put out those jars and I'd make them get rid of them. I never tip someone who's only doing the job they're getting paid to do, those assholes can go fuck themselves.
Now, when it comes to bartenders the tip can be your greatest friend, especially when it's really busy and it's hard to get a drink. (Think like penny beer nights and shit.) All you gotta do is throw down a huge tip with your first drink order, and you won't wait for a single drink after that. This works great if you're out with 5 or 6 people, just have each person pony up like five bucks, go order the first round, pay for the drinks, and make sure the bartender understands that they're gettig a 30 dollar tip and to keep an eye out for you. After a round or two you can have people from your party start going up to get drinks with you and the bartenders will recognize them and give them the insta service too. That way you won't have to be the designated drink getter all night.
When it comes to getting a tip from tattooing people my motto is, "never expected, always accepted."
-
Krsna is spot on with the bartenders. Back in the day if 8 or more of us hit a bar, we'd all pool and drop $100 on the bartender and he'd remember what each one of us was drinking hours later even in a crowded joint.
Money talks.
-
Oh yeah dude, I totally forgot that they remember what you're drinking too! It's like you walk up to the bar, stand there for 30 seconds, and they walk over and hand you your drink.
Fucking awesome.
-
Once when C & I were out and about I think I gave a cab driver like a $5 or $10 tip because I was too drunk to realize I can't do math when I'm drunk. That was great.
-
That being said, I feel uncomfortable tipping below 15%. If I've gotten good service I tip 20%. Once or twice I might have tipped 10% for really lousy service.
This is what I do at restaurants, with an exception:
When I tip below 15%, I will explain to the waiter of waitress why they're getting the tip they are.
If they get bitchy, I will ask for their manager and then explain it to him or her.

i wonder why he's here, too, but for a different reason.
if i was having a bad day, stuck in a shitty waitstaff position and i gave you bad service and then you took me aside, gave me a shitty tip and then told me WHY you gave me said tip... well, i think i might stab you with whatever utensil was handiest.
-
Yeah dude. For real.
Just leave the shitty tip man.
-
I think I tipped you with a round or two at the titty bar full of underaged girls. Or something.

I think you bought me a beer at the titty bar, which is an excellent tip.

Yes you did, thank you as well ;)
-
Man, this thread's making me want to go to a busy bar (with dirt cheap drinks) and get me some snappy service. It's so much fun.
-
Seriously.
-
I'll drink to that!
But unfortunately I have to go look at a dead fat man, in a room full of people who hate me. Maybe I should get drunk first?
-
It's the only way.
-
don't puke on the casket/feel up the widow, dude.
-
OK you're almost making me want to puke. The widow is like 60 and works for the DMV. But she makes Selma and Patty look hawt.
-
Funerals and plane-trips, man.
-
Change of plan... Puke on the widow and feel up the casket.
-
what's with you having "r" issues? did something sticky get on your keyboard?
notes from an acceptably tipped service industry:
i've relied on tips for survival (i'll beat you all to it: "and cock") for nearly ten years now. thankfully i've been fortunate enough to primarily bartend for the last three years, as opposed to waiting tables. i have always averaged nearly to over 20% since i began waitressing nine years ago. behind the bar, i started at an above 20% avg, and now as bar mgr pulling the money shifts behind the bar, that average has gone up to anywhere from 30%-80% i'd say on any of my given nights.
i generally give excellent service, always remember your name, your drink, sometimes a back up drink, and even your life story as you've told it to me. if, of course, you're the type of patron who wants to chitchat. if not, key points are important of course, especially in case you're the only one there and there's any uncomfortable silences. if you tip me well at the start, especially in a large, seemingly pain-in-the-ass group, i will remember you and your drink, and busy as i may be, will try to have your drink, or drinks for others in your party, ready as soon as you need another.
like many bars, mine can offer a free drink or two when i deem it appropriate. higher and more frequent (in the case of regulars) tipping play the main roles in deciding who i give these drinks to.
cunty or asshole behavior (which is first defined in my book as poor tipping) will ALWAYS result in a check for everything consumed, not to mention subpar to poor service on busier nights, waning friendly responses from me, weak drinks, and in extreme cases a ban from the bar.
please tip your bartender.

i think the date rape balances that out.

My "fuck you" tip is around 10%.
I generally tip 20% or over. My cousin routinely gets paychecks for $0.00, so fuck that noise.
When at a bar I tip a buck for domestics and two for imports. When I get whisky I tip about a third.

Tipping is giving a stranger money. You are not making a purchase of anything whatsoever. You are not purchasing their service of bringing you food and being pleasant to you. If you were, than walking out of the place of business without tipping would be theft. It's a fucking donation. I should never have to feel obligated by society to give a stranger money. It's one of the single stupidest things ever to have been thought up. In what other situation would someone get justly pissed at you for not giving something to a stranger or making a donation when all you want to do is make a purchase? Feeling obligated by society to give a stranger money......doesn't that sound fucked up?
Once you are soley responsible for your own well-being, you see things a little differently.

So when you hit rock bottom, the federal teat dries up (and make no mistake it will) and are living on the streets, standing on the corner with a cutesy sign that reads "will chug robitussin for spare change" I'll just punch you in the face and you won't be offended?

i am seriously about to just not come here anymore the filters are messing me up so bad.
-
The only thing filtered was "IAN", "mother", "father", "Dylan", "crack", and "DXM" ...
I removed the "tricky->Billy Corgan" one ...
We'd never filter anything that really changes a post in any way ...
Nothing really to be confused about ...

At restaurants, I tip 20% pretty much across the board. Great or shitty service is probably based on so many factors outside of whatever is going on between the staff and myself. Mood, what's going on in the kitchen, if someone's cat is sick, etc. But only for table service. If I get handed something across a counter, I don't tip. If there's a jar, I don't tip. Only table service waitstaff gets the crazy-low minimum wage in the states. It's also very easy math.
At bars, I have no clue what to do. I've heard a million things about what's "standard": If you tip a dollar a drink, every drink, you're asking for a free drink. If you tip any less than a dollar a drink, you're an asshole. Once, when working up the bill, I put in my share of the drinks and a tip, and the guy I was with was like, "how long have we been sitting here?" as if there were a per-hour tip, not a per-drink tip, or a 'how well taken care of you felt' tip.
Left to my own devices, I probably tip a dollar for every other drink. I pretty much only drink beer and neat whiskey, though. It's not like I'm asking anyone to shake up exotic, 12 ingredient cocktails for me.
-
This is reason enough not to tip. Or maybe it reason to tip large. Dunno:
Today, I was serving a family at the restaurant where I work. When I went to ask the little girl what she wanted, I was tongue-tied and got "cutie" and "hun" mixed up and ended up asking: "What can I get for you cuntie?" FML

Ha ha! Did they totally freak out or what?

I know... I was doing my parody of a cluless Internet goofball, but I also didn't really expect anybody to get it.

and usually i'm so in tune with your humor parallel. i think we're growing apart.

this has been coming for a while, and i think we both knew it all along.

I'm taking the Ralph Lauren towels.

homo. i should've known you were gay from the start when you wanted to lick your own cum off my tits the first time we fucked.
i have a feeling this is gonna be a nasty breakup.

Oh yeah, it's gonna be ugly. For the record, I'm not taking the towels because I like them, but because you do.
-
you're good.
how's this for funny: i'm leaving YOU these asshole kids we made. i'm moving to tahiti with jauncarlo and never coming back.
and oh yeah, i'm into chicks now, too. we are gonna threesome it up in the tropics.
-
I fucking knew it. I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!!
-
Good job, you turned her off guys!
Bravo!
-
that was all a lie and she's en-route to Narita as I type.
Cue up nyotaimori

Oh hell yeah. I'd eat sushi off hips ass any day of the week.
I'd also drink sake that's been poured down her body and pooled in her lap.

Being bound
Another variation of the human platter is the "bondage sushi bar", which can be found in some BDSM conventions and play parties in Britain and in Europe. In this variation, the individual acting as a living sushi plate is tied up to hinder movement or prevent it altogether.
how kinky is it if i like the sound of this? i've really been into light bondage lately. thank you for a new fantasy!
