how much do you guys tip? - Page 4 - The Drunken stepFORUM - A place to discuss your worthless opinions

I am a restaurant manager and have worked in both the front of the house and back of the house. I hear servers whining all the time that they only made 10% or 15% on a $20-25 dollar bill. I guess being guest oriented as I am, I feel that the tip should reflect the service. It kills me when I hear someone whine because they work for tips and only make $2.13 and hour, but guess what? That's the job they chose. A tip is not required, if it was, it would be standard in the industry to automatically add it to the bill. If I am out to eat and the service is good I round up to the nearest $5, i.e if the bill is 25.89, I go to thirty and if the service was doing a good job, I add 15%. If they were inattentive, they get the $4.11 only. If they are horrible at their job, then they get the standard $.01. Believe me, when you leave a penny as a tip, it really does make the server question what they did wrong to deserve it.

You've never eaten in some of the restaurants in the outlying areas of Charlotte. There are servers in restaurants that I've seen there for years that I always know are going to suck when I get them, sometimes I'll ask to be moved or just leave. To me, that's the way to get attention. You don't tip the server, the server may, possibly maybe, learn his/her lesson. If you get up and leave before you've ordered anything and the whole place loses your money (if I walk out or drive away from a restaurant they don't get a second chance for at least 2 weeks) then you've made a statement and hit them all where they live.

i was a waiter in college and also delivered pizzas. i tip a min of 20%. Out at the bar i sometimes tip up too 100%. might sound crazy right...... well my food is never wrong.... some of the bars/ clubs i go to the waitress actually argue over who gets to serve me and some places i go the by the time the hostess seats me my waitress is there waiting for me with my beer waiting for me. when i delivered pizza..... u always remember 2 groups of people..... the ones that tip well and the ones who don't tip at all. if i left the store with 3 pizzas and i knew the oldest one (the one that was Suppose to be delivered 1st) was a bad or no tip..... well that was the last place i was going..... always deliver the best tip first.

After i posted i began to think about it..... a few weeks ago my friend and i were out drinking and decided we were hungry.... one of the girls in the group wanted sushi. well we have a little local Japanese restaurant in town that i frequent quite often. we were pretty hammered when we left the bar and checking the time never occurred to anyone. we walked into the sushi bar right at closing time..... the hostess looked at the drunken mob that we were and proceeded to tell us they were closed..... as soon as our favorite waitress saw us she yelled out......WE ARE NOT CLOSED FOR THEM. she came over and seated us after close and lol we didn't even have to order...... she brought us our drinks and the sushi and sashimi we usually order without us having to say or ask for anything. THAT IS THE SERVICE GOOD TIPPERS GET.

Before my second marriage, my buddy and I used to hang out all the time at this O'Charley's south of Charlotte. We got on good with two of the managers, and all the waitresses knew us. We always got the same seat near the bar, and pretty much never varied what we ordered. The one manager even began to give us his employee discount when we came in.

Anyhow, we were out one night to eat and we each had a 20. Our bill came to $20.02, so we left the $40 and headed out. The waitress we had was one of the nicer girls and she had been having a bad night, so why not.

we always do 20%. the woman used to be a waitress so she has this undying devotion to the profession.
