I absolutely HATE it when a restaurant demands a tip, especially if it had poor service.

I put anywhere from 10-20% tip depending on service, wait time, etc etc.

When they ask for tip, I just say sorry, can you print out a new receipt? Then I put a big zero for tip.

What do you guys do.

Do you mean demand a tip in the sense that the menu says, "Gratuity automatically added to bill" or do you mean a receipt that prints with a blank line labeled "Tip: ______ " ?

What I really don't like is when you are a teenager and go out to eat and they see that you are a group of kids and automatically add the tip to the receipt. It hasn't happened in a while but it really pisses me off when it does.

Ha.. if they pulled that crap on me I would pay in cash minus the tip and walk out.

wonder if the menu states "Gratuity added to parties of X or more" (where X is some whole number)...

Expects it? As a pizza delivery driver I expected it.. if people didn't tip you'd be paying a $3 delivery charge instead of $1 to pay for my gasoline and maintenence fees.

Most waiters/waitresses get less than $2.50 an hour. They depend on the gratuity to actually get money at their job.

That said, I'd probably get pissed if someone specifically asked me for a tip or automatically added it to the bill, which would result in me giving a nice fat tip of $0.

Like I said, you GET A PAYCHECK. If you want more money, GET ANOTHER ONE or GET A DIFFERENT ONE.

You don't deserve anything other than a paycheck. You're a fvcking ape if you think you deserve to receive any money other than what's on the ticket from me and what's on your paycheck from your employer. I earned my money goddamnit and just because you chose to take a job driving around in no way entitles me to pay you anything more than what's on the ticket. Fvck off.

BOO FVCKIN HOO. :roll: I'm so sick of that sh|tty ass argument. I dated a waitress for years. I know all about the industry and I still couldn't give a flying fvck.

They chose to take the job. Don't like it? Get a different job or a second one. Or a third one. I don't give a fvck. You don't *deserve* anything more from me than what's on the ticket.

Ok then they should raise the food prices to pay the actual minimum wage or over.

I prefer the way it is now. I pay a set price for my meal and a varying rate for the service.

Whatever they do to compensate for their employees bitching about not making enough money is fine with me. If the service costs more than what I value it to be if prices are raised, I simply will take my business elsewhere. :)

My selfish, self-centered bitch of an ex girlfriend had this "I deserve a tip because I don't make enough money" mentality and yet she didn't go looking for a different job. :roll:

Even before I met her, you could have called me Mr. Pink.

Nice Guy Eddie: C'mon, throw in a buck!
Mr. Pink: Uh-uh, I don't tip.
Nice Guy Eddie: You don't tip?
Mr. Pink: Nah, I don't believe in it.
Nice Guy Eddie: You don't believe in tipping?
Mr. Blue: You know what these chicks make? They make sh!t.
Mr. Pink: Don't give me that. She don't make enough money that she can quit.
Nice Guy Eddie: I don't even know a fvcking Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don't ever tip?
Mr. Pink: I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.
Mr. Blue: Hey, our girl was nice.
Mr. Pink: She was okay. She wasn't anything special.
Mr. Blue: What's special? Take you in the back and svck your #$%?
Nice Guy Eddie: I'd go over twelve percent for that.

Not necessarily. She just solidified my already-set-in-stone hatred for fvcksticks who think they deserve to get tipped.

If you don't tip, please let the waiter know in advance. Don't be a coward and run off without leaving a tip.

It's common knowledge that tipping is standard practice, so if the waiter serves you, you pay for the service.

Best solution: Separate menus for non-tippers. Those menus will have higher prices.

Hey, Mr. Nik.

I'm not saying you should tip us but most pizza joints only have 7 or so drivers and they all talk to each other and they've more than likely worked at the other pizza joint and more importantly.... they're alone with YOUR food for at least 5 minutes. Maybe you should consider ---- Fast and Free Pickup!

Um, tipping is how a waitress gets their income. My mother is a waitress and her "paycheck" doesn't even exist, its just there to cover her work-insurance. As a matter of fact, she owes a little bit of money every "paycheck". All of the income comes from customers.

Not tipping is being extremely selfish.
