tipping

[willow80834]

I still can not believe some people have the nerve to go out and eat and not tip !!!   did u know most waitresses dont make min wages?  Did u know that when u dont leave a tip most places still TAX them on what u SHOULD of tipped !!!

[Fireman10]

lol....what if we don't have the money to tip them.....only to pay for our food?

[willow80834]

then u should stay home and not make the waitress who works for 4 dollars a hour take a cut in her income because of u....  invest in a box of hamburger helper

Sometimes I tip sometimes I don't.  If the waitress can't make ends meet on tips they need to get another job.  A tip should not be mandatory just because you do your job it is for service that goes above and beyond and most people don't do anything above and beyond that justifies any tip IMHO.  Filling my water glass and asking me how my food is once is not going above and beyond it's simply the job they are paid to do.  

How far does tipping have to go?  Are we supposed to tip doctors, policemen, the cable guy, cashiers?  Where is the line drawn?

WTF then if you know that only when you get tip you will have a good paycheck at the end of the week then why stay with that job. (not saying i have done this before i always tip the waitress). me purchasing something at a resturant i think that is a whole lot support......

exactly my point

[lynnc35]

Yes, all should tip, this is hard for me to stomach also, I thought all people did this, don't they know peoples wages are their tips.

[mlbevins]

I always leave a tip, but I think that it is terrible the businesses are allowed to pay below minimum wage expecting the public to pay their wages. 

[crystalhodder]

I tip even if it makes it harder for me to make ends meet.  I am a working mom of 2 boys and from time to time I can take them out to eat and we always leave a tip even if its only a dollar.  Something is better than nothing for doing there job.  Come on people.

If they are doing their job.  The purpose of the hospitality industry, and just about every other industry for that matter, is to exceed the expectations of the customer.  So many people are just interested in squeezing through with the minimum needed to meet expectations.  This usually leads to not meeting those expectations at all.  Now, there are quite a few servers out there who do very well at their job, and they shouldn't be subject to people who don't want to tip, but there are also those out there who don't do what is necessary to earn that tip.  My standard has always been:  current gratuity %, adjusted up for very good service, or adjusted down for very poor service.

I always leve something.

Good service gets a good tip.
Average service gets an average tip.
Bad service gets a low tip.

[sgluckadoo]

I over tip if the service was good. I usually do 10% for lousy service.
