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.here it is kona the college years

It's a bullshit system. I no longer will put up with it. I love how it has gotten where even counter people set up their Jar as if they deserve some of my ca$h?
waitstaff: Hi can I get you anything else?
me: Nope and I don't tip.

If I get great service I will tip well because that person went above and beyond what is expected.
If service is just so-so, I will still tip because that person is earning a shit wage.
If I get poor service, I will not tip at all.
it's a very simple formula. Being in a tip earning position at a busy establishment is a great job because you have the potential to earn proportionally to the amount of effort you put into your job. Non-tippers are the minority so it's really not too big of a deal. For every 20 people that don't during the night, there's someone that will drop a hundo or two on the bar to even it out.

I was a huge tipper. Now I do not tip at all.
Me: Hey can I get this wrapped to go?

I'm new to this whole tipping culture. I don't mind tipping in restaurants where the staff have to take your order, carry drinks, refill them, fetch salt and all that. But I don't get tipping in bars. If I order a beer and all someone does is use a bottle opener and hand it to me why should I tip them? There's no skill in that at all. Just pay the staff properly and be done with it! I still do tip in bars though... I'm afraid what will happen if I don't!
I saw a barmaid scream at a customer once "Where's my F*&King tip!".

I gotta say...that is an impressive counter movement.
Why all the hostility?

It's a bunch of crap. Don't tip anymore. But don't be sheepish about it. I'll start tipping again when I start getting tipped for 'doing my job' at an acceptable level.

Does anyone here tip hookers?

Just had lunch....a nice little counter place in midtown....NO TIP.

I do not; however, I some times give them 'taxi money' to get rid of them if they try to linger. I view this as strategic and not a tip.

Tipping begrudgingly is one thing. Believing in it is idiocy.

threadpost, I feel that way. That would make it the highest paid easiest job in the world.

With my tattoos = unintelligence thread back in the open I figured it would be a good time to double back on my no tipping thread.
Do you need change?
I sure do. lol.

i received extraordinarily rude, racist service in times square once.
a friend of mine who happened to be black was ignored, patronized and treated very poorly. it was astounding. fairly sure the waiter was gay, which made it even more outrageous. i remember thinking: imagine all the shit you've had to put up with from bigots and you're acting bigoted towards another race?
i left him a scientology pamphlet that someone had handed me earlier that day. that was his tip.
