I tip nicely because usually I get decent service and if nothing else I want to keep it that way (but it does make me feel better about myself too).

I will tip less than HB 7s because I feel bad for them and will stiff everyone else. Especially guys. If the food sucks I will tip the server and then just leave. Cook better next time.

I guess the lesson is not to eat at a restaurant if you're ever in Florida. The chefs can cum in people's food at will, and the way it's done is probably so haphazard that three or four plates of food for Regular Joes get cummed on in the crossfire of the cumming meant for The Cheapskate's food.

Klauser posted:Sorry but I don't think I understand what you are saying here. I do pay for food, even if I don't enjoy it. No I understood you just fine. I'm mocking you by taking an equally retarded stance and using your phrasing to enumerate it. Try to keep up. As an alternative viewpoint, no sarcasm: Anytime I dine out with good service and the bill is under $100, I leave a 100% tip. Meaning I copy the amount from the total onto the tip line and add it up. It does a couple things for you: A) You get the satisfaction of doing something kind for a total stranger B) Any time you come back to that place, you get treated like a king. C) It makes eating out more expensive. Not so expensive that you can't have a little luxury now and then, but enough that you don't do it more than is healthy or responsible. You end up dining out just the right amount, and every time you do you have a loving excellent experience from staff who are genuinely happy to see you walk through the door. The way I look at tipping is this: Will this server miss the tip more than I'll miss the extra buck or two? If so, just loving give them the little extra. It doesn't make a real difference in your bottom line (if it does you shouldn't be eating out in the first place) but it absolutely does make a difference in their ability to put food on the table and pay bills, and it makes an enormous difference in how they feel about their station in life. Serving is hard loving work, and lovely tippers/entitled douchebags make it difficult to stay positive, but small acts of kindness like that make a tremendous difference and make the job as a whole a lot easier to deal with. I agree in general that restaurants should pay their employees a living wage instead of expecting customers to do it for them. Unfortunately, that's not how it works. The solution isn't to violate the social contract and take a poo poo on some of the hardest working people you'll ever meet. The solution is to remember that the people you encounter in life are human beings with the same amount of feelings and concerns that you have. They deserve dignity, and they deserve to be paid for the work they do. An extra $5 in your pocket is nice, I guess, but basing your lifestyle around compassion is a far richer reward.

Jeffrey posted:Did you do a chargeback? Well what was quite cool was that I didn't need to because the company advertised a 'no excuses' guarantee on all it's products and services on the website, and as such after requesting it customer services gave us a full refund which I asked for on the basis that we were left upset, hungry and out of pocket ($100 for an incomplete meal) on what should have been a special night. Was a little annoyed that the restaurant manager who I cc'd in on the email gave us the 'excuse' that needing adequate lighting for signing was an exceptional circumstance but let that one slide. I'm what you'd call a pain in the arse customer.

Crunk Abortion posted:I'm a bartender. I work at a 4 diamond resort, and I am only paid $4.50 an hour by the house. I'm the son of a bitch who has to handle you and your takeout order. When you place that order, I have to walk out of my bar, away from my paying customers, and go expo and package your food myself. In contrast, the people sitting at the bar? Kitchen staff plate their food and deliver it. So it's significantly more work for me to prepare a takeout order than it would be if you dined inside the restaurant. restaurant servers are the most lazy entitled piece of poo poo people. seriously. quit your stupid loving job and get a new one if you don't like it loser. sucks to be poor

Wait, he's saying more work goes into him putting plastic utensils and napkins in a bag than a line cook to cook the food, then plate it nicely, and then deliver the food to his customers at the bar? All while making more than 20% per check? WTF? This bartender is lazy as gently caress.

I didn't say you didn't understand me, although now I'm pretty sure you don't. I tip for the service I am getting when I go out to eat. When I get take out, I need to plate the food, serve myself drinks and whatever else goes along with the meal like napkins and silverware, and clean up the mess. These are a lot of the things I consider a value I get when I sit down and eat at a restaurant. It sounds to me like you tip for a different reason than I do. To make someone feel good, to make someone like you and treat you better the next time you go there, or to keep your dining out habits in check.

dEPENDS ON HOW the takeout person or staff are getting paid. Tipping is essentially a way for restaurants to trick you into paying for their staffs to work, depending no the joint, they may be trying to avoid paying fair wages to the people who deal with the takeout too.

I guess the idea originated that if your driver was actually really good, cautiously, and got you someplace quick then you would pay him more than some really crappy middleeastern guy who gets you nearly killed at every intersection and/or drives around in circles clocking it up. which makes sense. It just got turned into some way to give people bare lovely wages. same thing for bartenders. if they actually put time+knew their poo poo into loading up a good drink then you give them a little extra. generally this is still the case so it's worth it to tip your bartender and you'll make up for it in free booze+better drinks.
