Tipping
There's numerous situations where you might want to tip. Usually a restaurant or when I get a haircut. How much? Maybe five or six bucks on a twenty-five dollar haircut. Usually 20% at a restaurant. But it depends. If it's lousy service or bad food, I'll tip less. Maybe 10% if it's really bad. I know. It's not the server's… -
Re: Tipping
Excuse me if I was not clear there; I wasn't trying to make a correlation between those two things, but listing them as separate benefits of the tipping system. The server's voluntary participation in the risk & reward wage + tip structure (voluntary in the sense that we all agreed to work for that particular compensation… -
Re: Tipping
Yep. A buddy and I used to have a standing trivia night on Tuesdays at a place where we would sit for about 3 hours sipping top shelf cocktails and knocking down wings and the bartender would routinely hand us a tab for 2 draft beers and a pimento cheese sandwich, on which we would place a $100 tip. That place also went… -
Re: Tipping
Perhaps you can explain the correlation between giving others a pleasant experience and keeping prices down. 15% tip use to be the norm, however today 20% is the baseline expected rate. IMO, to EARN 20% tip a server better be at the top of their game and do more than take an order and collect the bill. -
Re: Tipping
Agreed. it's also insulting to full-service restaurant workers who might serve each table for 45 minutes up to multiple hours to earn a 10-20% tip while counter service people need photos of the food to even get your order right then get tipped for the 2-4 minutes it takes to process that interaction. -
Re: Tipping
That reminds ne of a situation I experienced as a server for TGI Fridays in the early '80s. Had a group of six or so people with the 70 -something gentleman paying the bill and leaving the tip. And as I recall it, the bill was around 80-100 dollars. And the elderly gentleman left a dollar or two thinking this was the norm.… -
Re: Tipping
A lot of full-service restaurants out here have been adding on a mandatory service fee since 2020, similar to what they used to charge for large groups (10+). They were trying to stay afloat but those kinds of charges never go away and so even for full-service, I won't tip if they've already included the mandatory fee. And… -
Re: Tipping
Generally I tip 10% for takeout and drinks, 20% for food table service; I have a hard time tipping someone for just entering my order at a fast casual counter and yelling my # when I need to retrieve it. I am careful to not include the taxes in my calculation especially in the areas where they hit you for the booze tax. I… -
Re: Tipping
”Tipflation” is real. You’re now asked at almost any Point-of-Sale to tip and the default options are always like 15/20/25%. And that’s when you place your order / before you even get your food. What if you generously tip and then wait forever for bad food? Can’t get your money back. I generally don’t add tip for… -
Re: Tipping
We don't order take out much. Same for dining out. Too many disappointments. Plus my wife is s a great cook. It also helps that she's retired and has the time to do it. Situations vary. If I'm eating breakfast and the bill is $15.50, I'll leave a twenty and tell the server to keep the change — a $4.50 tip on a $15.50 bill…
