I am not European. I am not cheap. This attitude is the problem:
But if I'm on point and make you an order of 4 mixed drinks and pop 4 different beers for you and you don't tip, you better only order bottled beer or just don't come back to my bar at all or else you'll be drinking 90 mixer/10 alcohol drinks for the rest of the night.
Tips are 100% expected and judged. I've got news for you, they are voluntary.
- And you're a cheap fuck.dirtydesign
- You are cheap.hedge
- tips are not 100% expected. If you can't afford to go out and get served then you should stay your ass home.Point5

I bartended my way through college (that and hustling pool but that's another story). After doing that I'd like to consider myself a good tipper because I know firsthand how absolutely shitty of a job it is to serve 80% of the filth that used to come into the restaurant.

- This steak is Medium... I SAID MEDIUM WITH A TOUCH OF PINK AND 150 DEGREES!
- This beer tastes flat, gimmie another! Me: Uh, but sir you drank the whole beer.Waitstaff and bartenders are miserable because they have to serve miserable people. It's a vicious cycle.

well, I've worked in the service industry for almost 4 years and tipping was the way I made a living. I treated and served every customer with respect until they disrespected me. If my service was horrible cuz I was in the weeds and I didn't get tip, then cool, I can deal with that. But if I'm on point and make you an order of 4 mixed drinks and pop 4 different beers for you and you don't tip, you better only order bottled beer or just don't come back to my bar at all or else you'll be drinking 90 mixer/10 alcohol drinks for the rest of the night. and you'll wait til I serve the rest of the people at my bar til you get served.

I have not yet started this. I will start it tonight. I will let the 'servers' know they are not getting tipped in advance:
Server: Hi how are you tonight?
Me: great, I don't tip.- liesDr_Rand

Imagine if you worked for tips as a designer. Would it be okay that the owner of your firm pays you an unlivable wage and you were making tips from the clients?
- ok, but design takes a little more education than being a waitress.doesnotexist
- some of the best designers I have worked with could not wait tables. This is an unfair comparison

seems a silly thing to be so proud of.

waitstaff: Do you need change? [as they pick up the check]
me: I sure do.

15-25% depending on food and service.

Note that I can totally afford to tip, but I choose not to.

I was a really big tipper, usually 20% and up....
no more, almost as stupid as getting a tattoo

base it on your service + food. don't not tip all the time, really, don't be that guy. if you don't want to have to tip, go to mcdonald's and wait in line for your food.
ass-hat.

I RARELY receive bad service.. Mostly because I live in a small enough city that wherever I go I know someone who owns / works at / or manages the restaurant / pub. It's handy.

I tip 15% on the pre-tax subtotal, but only on a bill significantly over $10 and only if the server earned it (keep coming over to clear plates, refill water, that sort of stuff). I'm not made of money.
