Restaurant owner's Facebook post causes outrage: 'Why don’t many Hispanics tip?'
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | March 14, 2017 | Darla Guillen

The owner of a sushi restaurant is in hot water for a Facebook post in which he complains about Hispanics being bad tippers.

"My servers are thinking about building a wall around the restaurant," Steve Wayte reportedly wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post. "Why don't many Hispanics tip? Really? Zero, Ziltch, Nada."

Hispanics are generally cheapskates, that’s why.

Every year our small town holds a ‘Citywide Garage Sale’ and hordes of people in our metro area descend upon our small town.

Hispanics want you to practically give them the stuff you are selling. They always try to haggle and offer very little. They are generally rude and entitled as well.

I hate doing business with them myself.

Those are the rich ones.

The middle class liberals (and I knew hundreds from my 20 years working in Manhattan were very generous, and when I got sick, Extremely generous.

I don’t agree with any of their politics, but they were not cheap.

Mexicans tip great in cabs. I drove one. I think it made them feel like big shots.

They have to go. They are illegal.

Please don’t mistake any of my observations as supporting either group..

A middle class liberal is the most absurd thing on the planet.

An illegal working in our country without worrying about deportation for 20 years is a close second!

Not tipping is just part of the free ride they demand they get.

Do Mexican restaurant patrons tip in Mexico? I suspect that they do, so why can’t those who come here also “tip”? It helps the lower wage earners make more of a living, and most of the kitchen help that I have seen are Hispanics.

Talk is cheap and so are liberals.

No, I'd never say that, but sometimes I felt like it. Between college students and Mexicans, I appreciated whatever I got, and let them know that.

I understand that in Mexico and several other ? South American countries, it is not expected to tip your taxi driver.

I have learned, as a taxi driver, that a disproportionate amount of Mexicans/Central Americans/maybe South Americans don’t tip.

Not genetic, obviously! I hope.

Cultural

Although I think when you go to a foreign country you apprise yourself better about how things work.

I wonder if it’s true of restaurants/waitstaff, never heard that before.

Since when has uniparty media cared about truth?

They care about liberalism and socialism and defeating political enemies and pushing progressive causes.

They are not used to eating at a place with service. You know the saying: “a Mexican breakfast is a cigarette and a glass of water.”

Blacks are terrible tippers! I can’t imagine how bad it is today, when so many blacks have this huge racial chip on their shoulder.

Can't imagine either. A couple decades ago when working in an IT group of about ten people, there was one black woman who refused to tip. It made group outings to restaurants difficult and tense; and we made frequent trips to restaurants. Got to the point where most of us refused to go if the black woman was included, and she was the only black in the group. She quit within 6 months of hire, made it easier on us. Did not encounter this with other blacks. Not tipping is plain rude.

He may very well be correct, but dumb business move... Fresno is majority Hispanic. Heck, I’d be surprised if most of his staff complaining about the tipping weren’t Hispanic as well... wouldn’t that be a hoot. I may have considered supporting this business if it weren’t for the fact that is sushi in Fresno!

All of what you said and they come in huge bunches. While a kid is distracting you by translating others in the group are stealing everything they want.

The solution is obvious. Put a sign on the door saying no tipping allowed then raise the prices 15% across the board and pay the waitstaff 15% for the total of sales they took in for the night. Simple.

He’s talking about Mexicans

Cubans and Colombians tip fine in my experience

Paradoxically per stereotype the Jews I hang out with tip same as me

Well.

25-50%

i don’t hang with ‘tards

That’s true

Black women the worst

Chinese and Koreans prolly worse tippers than Latinos

Latinos are extremely varied group though

Tipping is micro-cultural. There are thin-slice segments of the population who just don’t think about it. And that is the key; they don’t think about it.

Mormon men, for instance, do not tip. The first Saturday night in April and October they all go out to eat, leaving great heaps of rubbish and no tips. My daughters are servers and have stories to tell. It’s practice for when they own their own planets.
