Tipping at a resteraunt

[stinkbelly]

What do you think about tipping on a tablet where the waiter never sees what you gave them? The tip is supposed to be an appreciation for the hard work they did. If they don't see your individual tip, they will never learn cause and effect.

I try to leave cash for the tip in most cases but I get what you are saying.

Yep, just as I do every other financial document. It’s just good business. You’d be amazed at the number of mistakes I catch.

A very good practice for sure and yes they do make mistakes on occasion.

As long as it’s not a $100 mistake in which I would know , that’s between them and God

I think k that is more likely in a dive or bar and grill setting in which I don’t partake . I used to itemize every check out bill but when I looked back over time there just weren’t that many mistakes . They lay the bill down and I pay it.

The only ones that agree with you are the ones making mistakes. Lol

This! If I can’t afford to go out to eat and leave a good tip then I just wouldn’t go! I bet a lot of y’all go over the complete bill also lol

Yep, but I'll point out mistakes either way. Sometimes I order something, then never get it. Should I still pay for it? Should I still tip on it? I always check the bill every time. I only pay for what I order. I will also let them know if they forgot to charge me too. Just the way I roll.

Tip on the total....why complicate everything?

A $40 bill comes to $43.30 after tax. So a 20% tip would either be $8 or $8.66
So you leave $51.30 or $51.96 LOL

So my question is does anyone really not just round either of those two to $52?


Also - I hate tipping percentage. Why does the waiter at a place where your bill is $200 deserve $40 but the waiter at a place that costs $20 only deserve $4? Assuming they're both working just as hard etc.

Just saw TVC post #47... Exactly!


Where are you guys eating that you actually get good to great service? Larger towns with meal for two over $100 or so? Seems like most service sucks these days but we don't eat out a lot either so....

How about actually paying the at least the minimum wage to start.

Oh I get it, one of my sons is a server as well. But, and it isn't just him it is almost everyone to ever work in the industry, he complains about tips/lack of money and people out of one side of his mouth and then when I tell him he can make very good consistent money as a plumber, etc. he says he makes more for much less work as a server and I'm crazy. There is a huge disconnect with not only him but in my opinion the whole industry when that is the narrative. Even at hole in the wall places the food prices are high enough to where a typical tip is around $10 per table or many times more if there is a large group or alcohol is involved. If they serve 3 tables an hour at that rate, that is $30 an hour or the equivalent of what my wife makes as a teacher. I hear everyone talking about low income servers but an hourly rate that leads to a $60k per year income is not low income. It isn't rich but it isn't low income!

And I'm not against tipping but 15% was standard and more than acceptable before. Now it has to be 20-25% or your a cheap *** but again the reality is their raise shouldn't come from an increased percentage as a tip it already came from increased food prices.

So should people start to tithe their Church 15-20% these days?

Well there ya go !

I bet you're just a real peach to be with on date nights.

He prolly pays for those also. And still dont tip

I don’t frequent any place unless they are open 7 days per week, have a consistent menu, military discount, and have their chit straight. Those folk I reciprocate the good favor.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT...........you'll go into a restaurant, order food and then ask for a veteran discount and still not tip?
