and about the times, yes thats when most people eat, but if it suddenly gets rainy, you may have NO one come to lunch that day. Also, you cant jsut load up the staff for little 2 or 3 hour rushes, theres pretty much a morning shift and a night shift. They gotta be there for the slow periods and the rushes.
Your last line would be fine if they took your idea and banned tipping all together. However it would be hard for a business to do away with tipping because it would make the food look more expensive than comparable resuraunts.
ok sorry for the hijack, to get back on the topic at hand...
my friend used to deliver pizza and he said its true, blacks dont tip worth sh!t period. point blank baby
So which is the correct term for you? Retarded or Mentally Handicapped? Wouldn't want to offend.
I'll stop hijacking the thread as well. I've got one final point to add that is on topic and is gonna sound pretty horribly racist, but oh well.
Blacks tip like crap and are obnoxious customers. The blacks who do tip well are either gay (as almost every gay customer I've had tipped well) or they act like white people. I know it sucks for those black people who are good customers and tip well, but when most black people come in, none of the servers want to take their table. I guess thats why there are lawsuits and stuff against dennys, but I do feel for the servers there who've probably been stiffed more times then I'd like to think about by ignorant patrons. Its by no means right, but I totally understand why it happens.

After car maintenance and gas, we're lucky if we make $8. If you don't feel our job justifies the tip, then get up off your lazy ass and come get the pizza yourself, you prick.
People like you always get their pizza last. In fact, if you're a constant stiff or a constant low tip, and I have 3 deliveries, I will deliver the other two, come back to the store acting like i delivered yours, and pick up more pizza just to make you wait, because I dont care about you. I have bills to pay and a child to feed.
This thread is horrid. I usually tip the tax, rounded up (we have 15% tax, here) unless whoever I am tipping was a douche in which case he/she gets the ol' finger.
Some of the replies in this thread are ridiculous and make me want to tip less, not more. All this "You should tip 20% minimum because I don't get paid enough" stuff is garbage, 15% is an excellent gratuity. That's right, gratuity, it's what I am giving you to thank you for good service. Heck, I *am* an engineering student and most of my buddies interning that don't make $15 an hour. Not only that, but I know people that get paid weekly wages (more or less salaried) that average half that, if it was tabulated on an hourly basis... and this is for writing C programs in vi.
In all seriousness, unless I one day become rich, I can't ever see myself tipping more than 15% on a regular basis. If you don't think you're making enough money with a 15% tip, take it up with your boss just like everyone else that doesn't think they're getting paid what they deserve.

When I waited tables no-one wanted to wait on black people cause they were very poor tippers in general...

poncherelli2 = dumbfvck. i normally tip in the range of 15-25%, depending on the level of service that was given. i rarely go under 15 unless the service is horrid, and trust me having a waiter/waitress confront me with a lecture on tipping etiquette at the end of my meal, no matter the level of excellence provided during my meal, will go in the category of horrid and will include 0% tip PLUS a meeting with a manager. i will leave a tip because its my choice to leave one. unless the day comes around when you get arrested for not leaving one, will i ever leave one out of my own freewill, but until then, servers should get used to the fact that there will be times when they will be stiffed.
people are saying that people seek service jobs because tipping is part of the job, well newsflash, getting stiffed is also part of the job.
and i do not agree with the statement that tips keep the service up. if tips were to go away, the only thing that will change is that the snotty brats will be out of the job, and the people who really need/want a job will have one. the a-holes servers will get fired and the good workers will stay. trust me, if you need the money, then minimum wage will be enough for you and you will be thankful that you have a job and will try your best to keep it.
I usually give 15% exact (I do the calculation by hand using the back of receipt)
If the service is exceptional, 20%
If it's below expectation, 10%
If it's nitemare, 0% and wont return again.

Phil Hendrie has a bit like that.....maybe you could also sit on their hood before they left in their car
I've been a waiter in college - did damn good money wise when there was something like an Arts Festival or big event in town. What PO'd me was when I'm making $2.80/hr. management came over and asked if I'd help the dishwasher - I said no & quit. You don't get tips washing dishes.
I've found Asians to be the worst tippers - overall (I went to Penn State) I found that the most generous people were those who had been wait staff or were just good 'ol folks.
I *do* have a problem with businesses that push the major labor cost onto the customers via a tip
to the OP, i really do not think that race has anything to do with it. it's just a mindset that you grow up with. bad tippers tip less because they were brought up that way. but if they were brought up in a good tipping family, i would think they would be better tippers. people do not tip less because they are black, white, asian, hispanic, wealthy or poor. your tipping habits will change based upon what the people around you tend to do. a couple of my friends used to be horrible tippers, but since they started to hang out with my good tipping friends and me, they saw how other people tip and they start to follow suit. and of course vice versa, good tippers can become bad tippers because they hang out with bad tippers.
I'm fine with tipping, but if the wait staff doesn't make me feel welcome and makes it seem like I'm a burden to their busy life of doing nothing else, then I'm fine with not leaving them a tip.
Example of BAD service:
Went to a Hooters in Myrtle Beach... restaurant had maybe 17-18 groups of people, at least 6 waitresses. Our waitress took our DRINK ORDERS after 10 mintes... (yeah, we should have left after this, but my friends were watching a game and wanted to see the last 2 minutes)... she got our drinks in a whopping 5 minutes (it was just a couple of beers and sodas) and then took our order. She stopped on the way back and started talking to another waitress and FORGOT TO PUT OUR ORDER IN. Because of this, we ended up waiting for our food for about an hour after our order was taken. When we wanted refils or another beer, she would drag herself to our table and one more than one occasion rolled her eyes at the thought of having to do work. In a non-crowded restaurant, this is NOT acceptable. If you guys who are a bit high-strung or set on tipping think this still deserves a tip for "service", then screw you. I left nothing. One of my friends, a waiter of 4 years at applebee's, wrote on the tip line of his receipt: "Here's a tip: stop being such a b!tch."
I know this is an isolated incident and doesn't speak for all service, but I'm just saying, BAD service = Bad tip.

I've always had the impression that this more or less forced tipping is an American thing.
The only people I ever tip are bartenders/waitresses or cab drivers.
And even then, I do it only if I feel they deserve it, a waitress who doesn't put forth any effort might get a little, but not much, some of them are even downright rude, they don't get $hit.
Of course some waitresses really do a great job, they're nice to me and my friends, they check out our table regularly to make sure we have something to drink, etc, and as a way to say thanks for the great service, we give plenty of tips.
I'm with Mr Pink, "I don't tip because society says I have to. Alright, I tip when somebody really deserves a tip. If they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something extra. But I mean, this tipping automatically, that's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned they're just doing their job."
Does anyone in here tip the people at McDonalds?

Yes I am aware that servers need to tip out bus boys and hostesses, and reset tables, and such.
Would you like to tell me how much their college education for wiating tables cost, or how many years it took? That's right $0 and 0. That is all there is to it, and why I don't thinkt hey need large tips. If they want to earn $20+ an hour they need to get an education and look for a better field.
I'm glad that you are working your way through college. I am doing the same. we have different points of view that is all. By the way if I had a cocky arrogant waiter like yourself I would only leave a handful of small change as a tip.
