En Sabah Nur Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 15% for servers, 20% if it's good, 10% if it sucks, if it's worse than that... you be the judge. bartenders usually get $1 a drink, but if i'm paying with a card i'm giving 20% because i won't remember how many drinks i had.

Decyferon Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Fuck that I couldn't imagine having to give someone a tip if I am buying a drink, it is bad enough I have had to wait at the bar for a beer in the first place. But then I have never known bartenders to get tipped in this country only people that get tips here is resturants and salons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decyferon Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 then again I suppose in America it is a given to tip, people actually include that in their wages, everyone I have known who works in bars or resturants doesn't include tips into salaries. Oh yea I would also tip a tattooist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I tip, usually pretty well. If the service is shockingly bad I tip a small ass amount just to let em know I did not forget but usually if it is that bad I will also bring it up. Back when I used to drink I would tip a dollar for everything the bartender brought me whether it was a 5 cent beer, a glass of water or a 7 dollar cocktail. So, if the idea of the tip is to compensate the employee for working in an environment that will not pay them a living wage do you tip the owner? I also tip a lot of people that I think many do not know to tip, like Christmas tree lot workers, movers, heck once I even tipped the tech at the mechanic cause he hooked it up proper.

ink face Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Haven't read any posts in here, but a good rule of thumb is $1 PER DRINK you order at a bar, meaning, you order 3 beers and 3 shots, you tip AT LEAST $6 a round. And 20% of the total if you go out to eat, meaning if 6 of you and your 'mates' go out and the total is $120.00, tip $24.00 on top of that, if you can't afford to do either, don't go out.

grd Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Looks like America is the most considerate nation on this planet. Except for the spookz. The rest of you fagz are cheap nurgaz. Not really, the rest of the world actually pay servers a real wage so they don't have to rely on tips. I tip delivery drivers, my hairdresser, my tat zapper and at Christmas I tip the postie and bin men. When I'm in the US I tip 20% mainly because I'm awfully bad at maths and anything else would only serve to confuse my tiny mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 A buck a drink at bars. Restaurants I go with the "double the tax" trick my best friend taught me. Since she's been a waitress for 10+ years I figure she knows what she's talking about. Other services I usually tell them to keep the change and if it's close to nothing I'll throw in a fiver. If you can't tip, you shouldn't go out. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone here gets their wage and tips are just extra on top of it. Our cabbies include a tip in the fare too. Postie gets a Christmas tip as a thank you. I remember when I would be in England my grandparents would get a present for the milk man at Christmas. Any tips here are just to say thanks not actually making up part of the persons living. Tipping confused me greatly in the states because I never knew what was acceptable, I probably over tipped but everyone was deserving of it anyway. The fact that I didn't know what was 'normal' and that I failed maths very early into school, I am completely useless with numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUN TZU Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm a chef, and we never get tips unless its the policy of the place you work for. And when waitresses bitch about what ever the fuck headaches they get from customers who tip them, chef's rarely get a thank you. So I say fuck that shit. To add also, tipping is a gratuity that rich diners give to traveling foreigners, students or desperate single mothers. Over here it's fuckin' earned or your just lucky. But if you tip your waitress, thank your chef, you pieces of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CILONE/SK Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm a chef Your a fry cook nigga, not a chef. 20% for real. I think most people do not do 20% because they can not figure it out in their head, so they do stupid gimmicks like doubling the tax or shit like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape Shit Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I work in the service industry, and giving a shitty tip affects not only the waitress, but also bartenders, barbacks, bussers, food runners, and any other person that has to be tipped out at the end of the night. Lots of times it's the kitchen staff that is responsible for your shitty meal, not the waitress that is making a base wage of $2.83 an hour. Black people don't tip. A black family of 8 came to my work a few weeks ago. All the little kids were dressed in suits and ties and each had their own iPad to play with. They left a 2 dollar tip on a 200 dollar bill, and my friend was their server so I know they got good service. I tip my tattoo guy somethin like 25% each session.

publicenemyno.3 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 20% is pretty standard now. a friend of mine is a chef and i believe he said it best, "if you can't afford a 20% tip, you probably shouldn't be eating out in the first place."

griteeth Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 how many people are going to mention tipping 1$ per drink at the bar open a tab and leave a large tip at the end depending on overall service ya cheapskates. I give my barber 5 on a 15 dollar haircut. restaurants are usually always 20 percent and for christs sake whatever you do, do not leave change in a tip when paying in cash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILONE/SK Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 If they give me change when I give them cash, it gets left there plus the 20%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 with good service a server will get 20-25% bartenders dont really do shit but get a beer out of the cooler. I usually leave them .50 cents or a dollar if i order 2 beers. Plus they get 7 or 8 an hour on top of it. If i order food from them its 20% tho 3-5 for a barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 i also tip based on service level if a waiter or bartender fucking sucks i will tip super minimal, if they act rudely i might not tip all together. if a waitress/waiter is really good, i usually tip pretty well. i used to never tip, then i was a bartender in college. now i always tip.

john brown Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 That bill is outrageous. Anyways i always tip, based on service for sure. Ive been noticing a lot lately bartenders crying about not getting tipped enough, sorry dude I'm not tipping you every time you open a beer for me.

CILONE/SK Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 If a bartender told me that, I would have told him that indeed he does look homeless and to go fuck himself because I was just trying to be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
