tipping at restaurants...

[slipknotpsycho]

you just had a 100$ dinner... what do you tip, if any at all?

just wondering... i can't consciencly walk out of a resturant without leaving a tip, but the wife, on bad service, prefers to just get up and walk out....

even if the quality of food and service was complete shit i just can't leave without feeling guilty if i've left nothing at the table but dirty plates...

so do you tip? and if so how much?

well i work in a resturant and i see bad tipping all the time... and it sucks..

especially cuz sometimes its not the servers fault, the kitchen fucks up at times and so does other things, but the people take it out on the server....

i always leave at least 15%, and thats with really bad service...

and i dunno why but it seems native americans usually dont tip well, not tryin to be mean but its just the way it is, and they are not poor they buy the most expensive stuff on the menu...

If the service is poor, .01 to 15% depending on if it is really the servers fault or if the kitchen fucks it up. BUT i have had some horrible service, no drinks, no refills, food comes out cold. or i order steak and ask for it rare and it comes out well done. and the server never asks about the steak. then it gets into the pennies, regardless how much the bill was, and they are lucky i dont ask to speak to the manager. because i can be a prick. generally im laid back though. but if i shell out a c note or more then i expect some good service.

$100 dinner? Who the fuck am I feeding, Rosie O'Donnell?

Seriously, I usually tip around 10%, and add or subtract some if the person was extra attentive or rude. I usually hook pizza boys up though, because I used to do that, and even a $10 tip can make your entire day.

Tipping In Australia is not expected ,only from the rich and famous. I never tip ,shit he or she is already getting paid for waiting on you.

$10-15 depending on the service

It depends, I to be honest,do not like too, and here's why. Servers don't work that hard, they take your order, then give you food, was it worth the tip? Probably not. If people won't tip people at the gas station, or ANY service, why tip a server? I know that server wouldn't tip someone at the gas station, therefore I don't believe they deserve one.

Always tip, or never. It has nothing to do with being cheap, but being fair.

Yeah, but here in the states, they make around $2-$3 an hour, about 1/2 minimum wage, which is why we tip.
