these people can't even afford to switch to directv and you want them to tip well?
Not really trying to start another thread but I think its worthy of pointing out.
If you are going to a place other than a specific sports bar please tip the out of you waiter or waitress. They get paid by turning over tables and I know most of you guys are going to plop down for three plus hours and milk a few beers. These people are going to take it in the ass tonight, being swamped is one thing but being swamped and losing the lack of ability to turn tables over is like asking someone to work for next to nothing and to bust their ass doing it. Have patients and reward the out of good service because a night like this is brutal and I doubt most of these guys/gals will make anywhere near what they normally do on an average to above average night despite the heavy traffic.

hey noone is making them be waiters or waitresses. I tip according to the service I get. how long I'm there for.
good point hahathese people can't even afford to switch to directv and you want them to tip well?
I have NFL Network and probably won't watch it becuase a) it's in a dome b)I'm sick of the man crushes on Favre and Romo C) Bryant Gumble and Collinsworth are beyond terrible. But just think about all the people like me, that are wasting a valuable thing to Pack and Cowboys fans. Too bad I can't give one of you the channel for a day.

Here is a tip...
If you dont like it then find another job.
Im sure most good bar tenders and waitstaff will make a killing tonight. If you are taking care of people, then you get taken care of.
This is not always true, not even close. There will be plenty of people who go to a bar or restaurant, order say four beers and sit there for three hours or more. Four beers, let's say that's $20 with tax. Someone who adheres to the 15% rule will then give them something like $3. That's $1/hr.
I think that's what he is talking about. If you think everyone tips well for good service, you are sorely mistaken.
You're way off base. People at a bar will do well but people at restaurants are going to take it in the ass.
Its not a matter of finding another job, I'm not saying they are ing day in and day out. Specifically tonight because of all the people sitting around at a restaurant for 3 or more hours more than they would on a typical night. Most people who would normally eat out won't tonight because of the high volume of traffic. People at a bar will do well but people at restaurants are going to take it in the ass.
i think they'll survive after one night of ty tips. Maybe they can lobby the NFL to send them some cash to make up the difference.
And there are six people at the table, they also ordered food, a couple of them have six or seven beers, some of them have mixed drinks that cost more, so that one table alone ends up being more like $12/hour and the waitperson has more than just that one table. Not to mention a lot of people tip 20%, not 15%. Spare us.
Did you even read the first post? He said there would be people there nursing beers, he was specifically talking about them. Not a table full of people ordering food/appetizers, etc.
You're so nice. Really, where do you find such class?
You guys can be s all you want. All I'm saying is that a non sports bar that is typically not used to people sitting around nursing drinks for 4 hours will have a waitstaff that will suffer because tables won't be turning over. If you don't have enough common sense to see the difference I'm sorry. I just think some of you should take it into consideration.
And this coming from an asshole like myself who could give a about most to all of you ing know it all general public dumbasses.
Don't worry though I'll stay here and argue with you about for most of the day.
what the are you talking about? my statements lack class innnnnn what way???
I tip according to the service I get. Even if its bad though, I usually leave 10-15%. If I get great service, you will get a great tip, as it should be.
exactly... is'nt this how it should always be????
No one is disputing how it should be. Its not going to be a typical night of serving tables. Most people seated at a non sportsbar establishment will stay 4 times longer than normal. Cheating a typical waittress or waiter out of 4 potential new customers to serve. I'm sure you understand this. If you expect someone to go above and beyond the typical 45 minutes to an hour serving you its not unreasonable to tip a little more than normal or tip for each drink brought to you like you would at a bar. They are in fact tending to you 4 times longer than on a normal night.
I pray to everything holy that everyone here that disagrees with the point the thread starter is making gets in a car accident today.
Whoa...isn't that a little harsh, even for you?I pray to everything holy that everyone here that disagrees with the point the thread starter is making gets in a car accident today.
Which was my point exactly.If you expect someone to go above and beyond the typical 45 minutes to an hour serving you its not unreasonable to tip a little more than normal or tip for each drink brought to you like you would at a bar.

Not a major car accident, just something that really inconvienences the out of them. Sort of like they will certainly do to the waiters/waitresses today.
As someone whom works in a restaurant, I must say that Mel is absolutely correct.
I agree with the thread maker.
Ok..that's fair.Not a major car accident, just something that really inconvienences the out of them. Sort of like they will certainly do to the waiters/waitresses today.
I hope Manny reads this thread.
i understand perfectly and the explanation was unneccessary. I also see what you are trying to do with this thread, and it's nice, but not worth the effort. low-lifes are low-lifes and they're not going to give a more reasonable tip because you suggest they should. My point is waiters and waitresses can handle one night of it. It's up to the restaurant anyways if they want to show the game and they'll have to deal with whatever type of business that brings. No matter what day it is waiters and waitresses are going to get the occassional ty tip. today is no exception
