gee, do you tell this to the people that help you pay your rent?
quit being so dramatic. now go get me my turkey pot pie!!!!!!!!!!!
Despite your stupidity I will go ahead and agree that I was implying to tip a little based on the amount of extra time you'd be taking up. Time is exactly what waiting is all about. The more people you sit and make happy in your alloted time or shift the more money you make.
Sitting down and sucking four hours out of a normal 45 minute dinner is basically taking food off their table, their job is to flip tables for money. You fail to see that, you like everyone else thinks its all about you and it isn't, they don't give a about you they care about getting you in and out. Serving you well is just a small piece of the puzzle. Their job isn't solely to make you happy, the goal is to flip as many as possible and thats how you get paid. I'm not saying to tip more if you get ignored and on. I don't blame you for stiffing in that situation but all I asked was for you selfish self-absorbed pretentious s to do was be a little more generous with your tips because you're taking up their time which = potential money. I didn't say tolerate and tip for it.
This thread just proves how most people think its all about them when in reality you're nothing to anyone. Just loud obnoxious cattle.

It's not about me, I know that. But I don't see why I should pay to offset the time I'm taking. If the restaurants waitstaff isn't prepared to lose out on the deal, then they should go to the higher ups and say to not show the ing game.
Here's a question, since I'd like to know.
You and your girl go out to see the game, order drinks, food, etc, 4 hours later, the bill comes out to $50.00. What do you fill in on the tip section of the receipt?
You really truely are the worst mexican ever, now go tell some bricklayers and laborers to get another job because if you don't like sitting out in the sun in 109 degree temperature then you shouldn't be there. You'll get no pot pie because you don't tip for .....and you'll ing like it.gee, do you tell this to the people that help you pay your rent?

I would tip 30 to that 50 and I'd tip a buck to 2 bucks every round of drinks they bring me after my table was clear and I was done with dinner. Just like I would at a normal sports bar. That would pale in comparison to what they could make with 4 other tables or more, some people eat in a half hour, I know I have. Now typically a 50 dollar bill would get about 18-20 out of me.
Its a ing courtesy to carry the game.....as a favor to the customers at the establishments expense. Not every employee is just going to and moan and be selfish. I think it would be nice to make up that expense for the innocent staff by compensating some of their time in the form of a stronger tip.
I feel for the people that go home with 100 bucks in tips on what would normally be a 150 dollar night. 5 times more exhausted and metally beat to boot.
And that's with flawless service or the "piss poor, gimme charity, because I'm a waiter" service?
I hope the owner of the Freetail Brewing Company reads this thread.
That would be with average service. Depending on the amount of customers I'll have more patients than most night. I don't mind waiting a little for another beer or a refill if I see her busting his/her ass to get to everyone.
You'd have to really go out of your way to ignore me or you'd have to actually attempt to piss me off for me to tip 5,10,15 or less dollars.
are you a waiter or surgeon. i tip surgeons pretty well
don't forget to tip your dancers during the commercial breaks!
Probably wouldn't mind some photos of people, either.
If you don't like your paycheck, you should talk to your boss. Why should the customer care about it? What's next - tipping a cashier in supermarket for providing you with excelent service? Tipping is a scam - employers can give lower pays to workers and give "lower" prices to customers - ing both of them in the process.
man, i'm glad someone said it. i knew it would really flame up the place, but hey - it does make sense.
ing genius, someone get this guy a feminine mixed drink.
I think the funny part is that these waiters/waitresses can see you coming from a mile away. They know if you're nursing the beer/food and about what they can expect. And you courageously eat the food thinking you're pulling one over on them.
I never understood being a jerk to the person that handles what I'm about to eat behind closed doors.
I'd guess you've ingested quite a bit more than you ordered from these people.
don't forget to serve it with all the necessary flair
Bishop is takin it to em
First off you might want to actually learn something about how business is conducted in other countries before you insult someone who is relaying the way it is there.
Secondly, what restaurants even have the NFL network-- ones that are not used to having a boatload of people come and sit around and watch a game.
Thirdly, I would think many would be happy to have a crowd on a Thursday night.
Fourth, if you want a good tip tonight, you have to actually wait on me and not be in the back watching the game yourself. At a very nice place I eat often, I had a horrible waiter who kept disappearing to the back to watch the Spurs game during the play-offs. If I wanted to watch the game, I would have been there, and if he wanted to watch it, he should have taken the night off.
Fifth, and for the record, I do tip well when I know I am going to be sitting somewhere and not spending the standard amount. At a bar, I only ever have one drink, and so I give a huge tip to the bartender because I am sitting there using up space. Some restaurants, I like to eat at the bar when I am alone and so again I tip really well because I am occupying space that usually turns over quickly.

What the are you doing going out to eat on a playoff night and not watching the game. I can't take anything seriously from you after reading that.Fourth, if you want a good tip tonight, you have to actually wait on me and not be in the back watching the game yourself.

Why is he a ?
Because he lives in a country where waiters are treated equally to other professions and have decent wages?
I've asked the question before, but never got an answer. Why are waiters in the US second grade citizens? Why is their profession the only one who's salary is dependent on the good will of their customers?
And if this is such a good system why aren't other people in the service industry paid the same way (minimal salary + tips)?
Do you even know the tipping standards in Europe-- thought not.
As to going out to eat during a Spurs game, you missed the point entirely. The waiter should still be waiting on me, not watching the game in the back room. Given that the proprietor knows me, not a good idea.
My issue is not with your initial message but your comments to everyone after it. I stated what I do but no one else is obliged to do the same.
i've never been able to wrap my mind around that one either, Slomo. I made more in a single night as a newly hired plate dresser than some of my waiter/waitress counterparts would make who had been there years longer than i had.
