Do you guys tip for pizza delivery? They already charge you for delivery. If so how much for ap izza from say Dominos or Pizza hut? Would you give a bigger tip to a local place or like a fancier pizza place that delivers?

I think it's funny when people (especially nerdy shut in types) overcompensate and tip like 50-100% or those weird people who tip a bartender a 20 with their first drink. They'll go on and on about how it gets them better service and they are the favorite customer and it's almost like they are trying to buy a friend, but really they don't care about you and just see you as a bag of easy money they don't have to work hard to get.

You're supposed to tip a bartender before you close your tab out? I always tipped at the end... Also one time I had to tip like 30% because I literally didn't have any change on me and I didn't want to look like an rear end in a top hat in front of the people I was with. So I just let it slide and the waitress was so happy. It was only like a 5 buck tip but still lol.

Servers, give me your thoughts on getting those gold or silver dollar coin tips instead of actual dollars Are they more fun? Do they make you feel like a pirate? Will the jingling of doubloons in your pocket make you feel good, or simply intensify the yearning for a golden age that never was? Thanks ahead of time

People claim it will get you faster service but even if you don't tip they will still serve you, and even in a packed bar they aren't going to not take your order out of spite or whatever. Anyway I think it's fine to tip only at the end if you have a tab, or 50 cents to a dollar per drink depending on how much it cost if you are paying cash for each drink. Anything more than that is a waste.

I prefer not to pay more for things when I don't need to, and spend the money instead on things that are important to me, like MOBA microtransactions.

Know who I don't tip? loving coffee places. You tip for service, not for them to make the food. That's what you pay for the loving food for, in my opinion.

You people overestimate how much attention they pay to who is who or even look at/remember your face if it's truly packed. No matter how well you tip you'll still have to muscle your way to the bar and catch their attention and service is going to be slow no matter what. They will not outright ignore you because that's a quick way to get paying customers to leave. Even if you are right, tipping something stupid like 20 dollars on your first drink won't get you meaningfully faster service than the guy tipping a reasonable amount like a dollar a drink. There are diminishing returns. I am entirely convinced the people posting that poo poo are just bartenders trying to make it seem like it's a common/expected practice to guilt people into over-tipping. For most customers, if the bartender ignores them or is rude because they didn't empty their wallets into their tip jar, they'll just go somewhere else. There are plenty of bars and plenty of bartenders who aren't entitled pricks who just do their job.

I tip at least 300% even before I know what my food order is going to be - because I am rich as gently caress. Throw $300 on the table, order your food, then eat and drink politely, then leave. That is how you do it.

When I tended bar I did in fact remember consistent tippers. But I never had a stranger throw down a twenty or whatever. My favorite was "it's my friends birthday can you give us a round of shots on the house?" Hahahahah.

Here in California they actually pay servers over minimum wage as base pay so tips are on top of that. For working at a chain restaurant, the servers working at Cheesecake factory make a decent amount where I live because of this. In other places, I think it is pretty unfair for an employer to use his customers to directly subsidize paying employees. If you're gonna be such a cheapskate, then hire your underaged relatives like they do in chinese food restaurants.

There's nothing wrong with the round up to the next dollar with a minimum of 50 cents tip per drink and any bartender who whines about it can get hosed. Also bars that have drink prices that are like 3.75. It makes you look like a dick to hand them a 5 and ask for a quarter back - it makes you look cheap even though your tip is very reasonable.

I mean, my 15 or so years of weekly bar going has pretty much confirmed the opposite. I travel for work and go to like maybe a hundred different bars in a year and the "tip $10 on the first drink" has never not gotten me faster service then my coworkers who don't. Bartenders make a hugely higher percentage of their income on tips vs salary, why the hell would they prioritize getting more tips?

bongwizzard posted:Lol, never mind, you are either cheap as poo poo or too poor to afford drinking out. Yeah, a dollar for the 3 dollar beer you poured into a glass to me is "cheap as poo poo"  It's just a pathetically transparent thing to tip a huge amount on the first drink. Any benefit you get from it is in your head while you pat yourself on the back for being such an upstanding citizen sticking with the little man. Their job is to sell as much alcohol as they can, not get as much tips as they can. The spiteful bartender that ignores me or gives me slow service for "only" tipping a dollar a drink seems to be a myth - I go out to drink a lot, and it has never happened to me. I've always been able to get near-immediate service by just getting the bartender's attention and gesturing in some way to indicate i want another.

I could've cared less how the bar was doing. But a buck a drink was (15 years ago) and I think still pretty much the standard tip.

If I found out an employee was ignoring a heavy drinker but poor tipper in favor of well-tipping people ordering a drink once an hour and a half, I'd fire them.

It's not ignoring them it's really just volume. Being good and fast at the job was the best all around way to do it . Get everyone in as timely manner as you can. It evens out in the end.

Unless you're asking them to make a complex cocktail, it's ridiculous goony overcompensating to tip more than 50 cents (for "they grabbed a bottle out of the cooler and opened it for me") to a dollar for a standard drink (i.e. liquor+other thing).

No one is going to spit in your food, you're good. What we would do is find creative ways to make your food taste less good, or cheap out on the ingredients. Just don't be a dick. Servers at places that make lots of tips (hundreds per night, like fine restaurants) usually have coke problems. They're a lot of fun.
