For those of you going to a restaurant to catch the game. Please tip well.

Second line first post

If you are going to a place other than a specific sports bar please tip the out of you waiter or waitress.


No I'm talking about restaurants that don't normally show games. I know here in Corpus last year two sports bars had to close their doors because they were at capacity. This year a bunch of restaurants are helping out the community by bringing in TV's and carrying the game. They don't typically show games. These are the places I'm talking about. If you work at Hooters you deal with this every football season, I'm not talking about these types of places, those waitstaffs will do well. The reason the restaruants are doing this is for the people that don't want to cram in a bar with a bunch of drunks.


Well that math doesn't add up. So you want more service for less on a night where people are going above and beyond to provide you with a service you wouldn't normally have.

Then the restaurants and their staff should just not show the game, if they're not comfortable with having table campers. So, are you saying, regardless of the quality of service, we should tip better just because they're not used to people just waiting around to watch the game.

The math does add up if you figure that with 4x the time means I'd order 4x the beer. What service am I getting that I normally wouldn't have. I drink, they fill up my cup, rinse repeat. Why should they expect the 15% just for me being there?

Surely you didn't think I'd expect this thread to go over perfectly do you. It was a matter of time before some dumbasses chimed in to be funny. I mean it was hilarious wasn't it. We all laughed, good time were had. I even bookmarked it for a later laugh when times are down.

I made a nice thread for no reason other than to make it. I think people forget the little things....like other people living and functioning around them.

If you can't tell the difference between my sarcasm thats intended to mock the assholes here I'm sorry. You know what come to think of it, you've never gotten my sarcasm. Its pretty much your thing to mouth off about nothing, then point fingers and ultimately back off while proving and backing up nothing. You're a top 5 poster for me here based strictly on the scope of vision you live by.

B2B, "backing off" as you put it is actually me getting bored with you and moving on. As for mouthing off about nothing, I'm not the one who posts a really 'funny' thread about tipping your waiters and then sits around defending it all day.

I'm glad I've got things other than bookmarked threads to turn to when times are down.

i think i agree with every word that thispego has posted so far.

So you should tell these people to take a hike for trying to do something nice vs. simply showing a little gra ude.

Whatever helps you feel better. You totally pwned me...can I do that? Can I put the little p before the w and n to make it seem like you're getting over. Are you bored with this thread yet?

Good point.

I think this thread just illustrates the brilliance that is B2B.

Yes I am.

Thanks for being pwned. Talk to you later.

I'm not telling them to take a hike, I'm expecting them to do their job and ing EARN their tip. They shouldn't expect a big tip, just because their boss decided he'd show the game. They do their part, I do mine.

The same people that order a side salad and a water at Hooters during PPV wrestling to camp out all night will be out in full force tonight.

[Mixability]

I was planning on watching the game at home, but now I feel like getting a bunch of friends and camping at an Applebees or wherever they're showing the game and leaving a ing 25cent tip. Are you working tonight B2B?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

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.

no offense, but if you HAVE to depend on people tipping.....you should probably get another job. i give my 15% and that's all. i'm sorry.

The utter hilarity in that Manu thread is the epitome of SpursTalk and its posters' rivalries.

I re-read the whole thing and came to two conclusions:

Things really haven't changed from then.

@ Manu actually apologizing to Manny

[samikeyp]

For s sake people. I know most of you here wouldn't go above and beyond at your job ever, much less if someone told you to not only go above and beyond but take a paycut to do it.

Show your appreciation for getting a game you wouldn't normally get and service you wouldn't normally get by simply tipping a little better. you people are the worst kind Ungrateful typical general public, is always about you isn't it. you all.

Even those of us that agreed with you.

Come on now...they order a side salad, water and a slice of key lime...get it straight!

[johnsmith]

Yes I am.

Thanks for being pwned. Talk to you later.

Hey, remember when you were going to fly down to Corpus to fight me?




That was good stuff.

Now shut the up and make sure you tip well.

I agree with Danyo, its pretty ing stupid to expect a big tip cause you're serving someone during a game!!! If you want a good tip, I expect my beer glass to be always full and great service from beggining to end otherwise you're getting a buck

[johnsmith]

You know, I'm not a waiter, never have been, but this is the type of that pisses me off more then anything. "you should get another job".......what about the people that are busting their asses for tips because they need the extra money? Or they can't afford to buy their kids clothes because head mexicans like yourself ran out on the?


you. You should get a new job that doesn't deal with people because you ing suck at it.

[Soul_Patch]

Wow...there are a bunch of really cheap ungratefull s in this thread.


hey i sat at your table for 3hrs...here is 2 bucks...be thankful i gave you that!!


i hope someone s in your salad.

Thought you'd have a different perspective on life.......nope, you're a .

[johnsmith]

I especially like men that treat waitresses like because a football game is on. Just because you played high school football 15 years ago doesn't afford you the right to treat someone like , be loud, be obnoxious, and then tip poorly because you have clung to hard to your football days that you now dig ditches or are a out of work comedian.

you. You should get a new job that doesn't deal with people because you ing suck at it.

settle down honkey!!!! i don't run my tabs. i pay and tip ACCORDINGLY. plus i didn't force people to wait on tables. everyone makes their own choices just like you accusing me of being a " head mexican".

if i sat somewhere for 3hrs i'm eating or drinking the whole time i'm there. i'm not drinking one beer an hour. if someone does that and tips accordingly to their bill, then yes, they're cheap bas s. me. i don't do that. if i'm there i'm spending money.

[batman2883]

how do you figure??? if you want a good tip give good service....you cant expect things in life to be awesome if you have a pispoor at ude while doing your job

man there are some latent emotions being laid out in this thread.
