this was years ago but i'm pretty sure i tipped 20% anyway because unless you literally attack me physically i usually think 20% is fair

like, it is really loving hard to not get 20% from me

i tip everywhere because you couldn't pay me 150,000 a year to work in a restaurant. i think i'd do it for 160

Can you tip me on a regular basis? I could use the money.

i just don't feel like a waiter should be punished for a mistake they more than likely didn't even make. and if they are being an rear end in a top hat, that makes sense, they are a waiter. they have to wait on assholes all day

like, if my food is wrong, there is a whole process involved and i'm not sure where it failed. did the chef gently caress up? did the waitress not hear me because she's being overworked? maybe

who cares. 20% should just be built in

the only time i'm actively an rear end in a top hat to people on my job, it's when they complain about the stupidest poo poo, and it's always hispanic mothers for some reason. when the pool gets rained out, they're always the ones to nag me for a refund if i'm working admissions despite there being a big loving sign saying "no refunds". what i can do is give rain checks, but if they're assholes about it, i can always just conveniently drop the pen or say i "misplaced" the checkbook and not find it for a good 30 seconds while they're standing in the rain. it's quite fun.

I live in a civilized state that requires that restaurant workers all make at least minimum wage, so my tip largely depends on the quality of the service I receive. If they want a good tip they better provide reasonable service - this isn't one of those barbaric states that allows wait staff to be paid like $2 because the rest is supposed to be made up in tips.

Also, in my drinking days, I always tipped bartenders well regardless. It helped keep those drinks coming frequent and strong.

gently caress tips and gently caress tipping. Just pay the drivers better and charge 50 cents more for your frozen garbage pizza, it'll still save people 2 or 3 bucks.

Also hour+ delivery times any time after like 8pm are 99% of the time our polite way of saying we don't want your business, go away so we can finish cleaning and go home because we don't get paid enough to give a gently caress about the customer.

this, and as i said there's a large sign right outside the admissions booth that says "NO REFUNDS". that's management's decision, not mine, so all i can do is write rain checks.

ehhhh, depends. prices change after 4. let's say it's her and her cookiecutter family of a father and two kids. if she had paid before 4, then it'd be $22 ($5 for kids, $6 for adults). after 4, $12 ($3 per person). i can see being a tad upset at $22, but for $12 it's not worth it to make a fuss and honestly, if you sass me over $12, you're a dick and i will loathe you.

kids are assholes, especially at the snack bar and 50% of the time they either don't have enough change so they have to run back to mommy or they pay for $1.75 worth of candy with a $20 bill. assholes.

well they get taxed on a percent of total sales, so the government assumes they got a tip on that order. A nominal tip is appreciated. No one is expecting you to tip as if you had table service.

lmao 68 minutes for a papa johns pizza you could literally walk to a grocery store and shoplift like ten totino's pizzas (they cant arrest you as totinos pizza is legally classified as refuse) and then walk to a convienence store and use their microwave to microwave them all and then eat them in the store and shjit on the floor and still make it back home before 68 minutes had elapsed

actually, most of the dads at the pool are either chiseled or average weight. i hardly ever see beer guts, and if i do they're usually on some 60 year old guy who comes with his decidedly younger wife.

For take out, generally no.

The only exception I make is if the person getting my food is extremely happy/outgoing and interacts with you because they want to, or does something like finding a coupon for us that we didn't know about.

Yeah, this. I picked up 6 pizzas (think individual pizzas... it's a "Famous Pizza" chain in NJ) for my parents and some family this weekend and the guys behind the counter were working their asses off (football + baseball playoffs = lots of orders) and were still polite. Came out to $24 and some change and I let them have the rest of the $30 because, hey, I feel they earned it.

Under normal circumstances I don't tip with takeout unless I'm paying with cash (this place is cash only) and I don't feel like the coins. Otherwise they need to be going above and beyond to get a tip.

Same with a sit down restaurant. If friendly/outgoing or really make it seem like they value me as a customer, they get rewarded for the service. As in the definition of what a tip is.

For sit down service, I always tip unless they are straight up disasters... and even then I would only not tip if they were rude on top of that.
