Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ryandushku: The OP and current tipping culture are not related. This is a silly thing to fuck with regs at a dive bar . You know that right? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ryandushku: Originally Posted By HiramRanger: Just another way they hide the true cost.

Fuck you, hope the stoners with munches are enough to keep you employed because nobody I know is doing delivery any more. We all go out and pick our food up. The thread title and OP aren't even related. At best, those Bar Tenders demand 4% or they'll list you as a shitty tipper. But, the title made the discussion diverge quite a bit. These things happen.  |

If you work in an industry where your livelihood depends on people giving you money based on your service, your service better be good. I went to Cracker Barrel with the family yesterday. Service was good and bill was $100. I gave the server $15 in cash. Sorry your skills don’t equate to me giving you oodles of money for putting a plate of food down on my table. Honestly, I would rather tip the cooks

One thing you will always hear is that EVERYONE in the waitress/waiter field is the absolutely best one ever in their field. Never yet heard one say they were pretty lousy and didn't deserve getting a tip.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Merlin: People who wait tables and are good at it are some of the hardest working people out there. My daughter waited tables (at two different Cracker Barrels, plus a couple other places); she worked her ass off. You don't even have to work hard... A study was done recently that showed just repeating back the order to the customer increased the amount of tips that were received. I'm sure it also reduced errors. I'd just like to see my coffee cup/water glass not being left empty for half an hour necessitating me visiting the bar or kitchen for a refill. |

Bar tenders pull a higher wage than food servers so fuck them.
I worked at bars as a young man and tenders usually got a buck a drink tip. It encouraged them to move more liquor and the ones with good shifts could pull $400-600 a night. I also doubt they were reporting all of that income. Most of them only worked part time because it was lucrative and they could do what they liked the rest of the time. |

You don't have to make a show out of it. The short amount of time I bar tended, the good tippers got fast service, heavy pours and good conversation. The shitty tippers waited and watched all that happen before reaching for the jigger to make their drink.
That wasn't really the problem though, most people who bought drinks tipped well. It was the poor, heavy drinking youngsters with ice chests in their trunks/beds. Hmmm these two knuckle heads were sober when they showed up 45 minutes ago and appear to be buzzed off the one beer they bought. Pick it up, still 2/3 full? In the sink right in front of them then ask what I can get them. Sometimes they got all fired up, it was nice to remove assholes then watch them leave on their own. |

So a tip becomes an obligatory non-obligatory surcharge.
If it's required, then add it to the base price. How someone else does their accounting is not my issue. If it's not, then something further than just doing one's job is required. If it's demanded, then it's plain extortion. I'm not sure I'd trust my food or drink if I were to fall into disfavor too. |
