Interesting, I get tips from black people I’ve served. The demographics here who do not tip: lesbians and latinos. Homosexual men usually tip fairly well, but homosexual women almost never leave much. As so many latinos are in service industries you would think they would leave decent tips, but no.
I found the same thing. Blacks tip OK, not great, very little if it is a group of black women. Perhaps they tip a black server better, I don’t know.
Any group of women don’t tip well, but they tip better if the server is male and especially if he is attractive and flatters them. Ditto the other way around with males customers and female servers. That’s what I observed.
Often when a group of women came in and were to be put in a female server’s section, she would “trade” that table to a male server. The male server knew he could make more and possible do very well with an all female table. Sometimes he would ‘tip’ the intended server a portion of his tip for giving him the table.
That’s just the way it works.
in the New York suburb I live in I have worked with folks rich and poor and went to lunch with them and sometimes after work for dinner and cocktails....
Black Folks don’t tip and are pissed at the suggestion.
Hispanic folks, to my recollection, do.
I have no idea what people who ‘play for the other team’ do.
