Paging The Meltdown. Would The Meltdown please report to this thread immediately?
Multiple casualties.
All I Have To Say Is This, If You Want A Good Tip, Give Good Service, Thats What Being A Waiter/waitress Is All About, And Believe Me Ive Had Some Great People Wait On Me Before And Ive Left Them A Lot Of Money, But Ive Also Had Some Pispoor Service Where I Never Once Even Got A Refill On A Drink, And Believe Me That Deserves Nothing But A Pispoor Tip
ha ha ha tell me about it
Wow...im sorry, but this is probably the most ignorant thing posted in this whole damn thread.
please...id love to hear your argument about how this statement is sound...
tell this to people that rely on tips, rely on comission, own their own business and rely on customers, you name it...
cmon...think before you speak.
agreed...and if you get that good service, tip accordingly.if you want a good tip give good service....
As someone who was a regular on Sundays at a certain bird named establishment, I got to know a lot of the wait staff through the other guys I hung out with. We took at least two tables for a better part of the afternoon and always made sure whomever had us was well taken care of.
Ok, maybe I mis read you there.
How about this, let's say you are a 15% tipper wherever you go. If it's good service it's 15% if it's bad it's 10%.
Having said that, what if you go to a joint tonight, you order a meal, and have 4 beers throughout the night while watching a 3 1/2 hour game. Service was good, not great, but the place was packed and the waitress was slammed. What do you tip, 15 or more?
Now mind you, normally you are in and out of this joint in 45 minutes to an hour and you buy a meal and a drink. So now you've taken up almost four times as much time at this waitresses table and only purchased three drinks more then you'd normally purchase.
keep my glass full = more tip
is it that hard to comprehend?
You don't get my cash for free, you're working a job. If you want handouts, stand on the side of the road with a sign.
exactly...just tip accordingly.
..but if you are like soo many others, and sit for 3hrs...drink a water, and eat 15 baskets of free chips and salsa, and leave a 2 dollar tip, even if 2 dollars was 80% gratuity...its still ed up...i think this thread is directed at you...
I never tip just 15% i always over tip especially if the service is good.
and trust me i take my sporting events into great consideration, if i order a small meal and drink a couple of drinks and stay to watch the game, and the wait staff still offers me drinks and i decline i more than overcompensate them for their loss of money due to my taking up one of their tables.
My point is, if that waitstaff doesnt come around and at least offer to fill up my drink or order something else then what kind of tip would they deserve?
Why would I be offended? I work from home so I don't have to deal with pricks like you. I am not, nor have I ever been a waiter. But, I realize that if I sit in a bar or restaurant and take up an entire table for four hours, that I should give extra, not just 15% of what I ordered. Particularly if my bill for four hours comes out to like 20 bucks or something.
Fantastic, I'm in 100% agreement with you.
see yeah i can understand where that could be a pretty ed up thing to do
This quote pisses me off more everytime I read it. you dude, you're a prick.
And how the do I get "believe" out from under my name?
If you paying your rent depends on tips, commision, etc, then make sure you do a good job. Don't expect charity. If I were to watch the game tonight, order $25 bucks of food and beer and got great service, I'd write the receipt for $50. But don't expect a good tip for just doing the minimum. If all your table are being camped, it shouldn't be that hard to keep my glass full.
you gotta believe in what you want it to be and it will change
I dont think anyone was saying "tip more regardless of the service!"
You know, this quote is even dumber than I had previously realized.
So, you are saying that if you HAVE to depend on tips, get another job. So basically, you are saying that NOBODY should ever become a waiter because then they would have to rely on tips to get paid.
Geez, if nobody ever becomes a waiter, then who is going to serve your cheap, shyster ass?
read my other posts on this "matter"............then speak.
You missed the point entirely. NOBODY is saying give something for nothing. IF the service is bad, tip accordingly.
But if you buy two beers in four hours and tip $1 because your bill was $5, then you are being an asshole. Tip extra because the service was good and you took up a spot for four hours and basically tipped .25/hr. That's all.
It was said to tip the out of your waitress, since you'll be taking their time from them. If it was implied that they should be tipped well for a good job, then I missed that.
If you open your own business, and HAVE to rely on customers to buy your product, you should probably get another job!
If you work for a large medical equipment company and HAVE to rely on hosipitals to buy your xray machines, you should probably get another job!
If you sell cars/boats/anything and have to rely on comission from your sales, you should probably get another job!
If your a stock broker and have to rely on bonuses to supliment your income and afford you your lifestyle, you shoulr probably get another job!
we should all just rely static salary then the world would just be a better place...next time you take the old lady out to red lobster for your aniversary...you guys can do all the serving and cooking yourself...that would be romantic!
In regards to the original post, I'll tip for good service, but not just because they can't turn over tables and are swamped on a ing Thursday.
Give Kori a le for under your name and she can change it.And how the do I get "believe" out from under my name?
