How long has it been since we had a good thread on tipping?

Well, that too long.

[dalereed]

the idiot that started the tipping crap should have been executed and tipping made a felony.

[Dr. Sivana]

Bigger places share tips with the bus boys and the hostesses.

I was a cook at a sit down Pizza Hut, and we always rooted for the waitresses, who bore the brunt of patrons problems, even when we made them.

Whoever wrote this ... Cheapskates! Go to the McDonald’s for your meals.

This is a hoax. What patron would carry this letter into a restaurant without having folded it into a manageable size? This sheet has never been folded.

[Nifster]

I assume you mean cows....

[angcat]

Since the town my daughter waitress in has been invaded by illegals she is not making tips. They hate to tip the white girl. Especially they invading females who eat in the restaurant. I told my daughter to go find another job with a more business like clientele.

My meal was made possible by an entire team of kitchen staff, servers, managers, and the establishment itself.
You didn't serve this meal.

[factoryrat]

I used to tip generously when I went to a bar or a restaurant. After they enacted the smoking ban in Michigan (at the behest of the bartenders and waitstaff), I stopped going to bars and restaurants altogether. Even if they allowed smoking in a restaurant, I wouldn't smoke inside. A bar is a whole different story. Now, thanks to militant, arrogant employees in the foodservice and hospitality industry treating me like a second class citizen because I happen to smoke, I will oblige them by not giving them or their employers the correct time of day, let alone my hard earned money.

I tip 20% if the service is good. If it isn’t, I deduct accordingly.

[IronJack]

I tended bar for a number of years, and while servers weren’t required to share their tips, if I worked the service bar and they didn’t, they could freeze in hell before they got any drinks from me. I shut out one particlarly nasty waitress once, and she was forced to spend her next shift walking clear across the crowded bar to the other service rail because I refused to work her orders.

I would imagine the kitchen staff in a decent restaurant could make life equally miserable for a selfish waitress.

[PJ-Comix]

A liberal justifying his cheapness. A political way to get out of paying a tip.

[Political Junkie Too]

The real question regarding whether this is true or fake is that this would have to have been a premeditated event.

Somebody printed this letter in advance at home with the intent of bringing it and leaving it at a restaurant. This is not something that someone did spontaneously at the restaurant.

So, is that premeditation a liberal or conservative trait?

Not sure how it works elsewhere, but when my daughter worked at a sushi restaurant, the chefs/cooks made a (pretty nice!) salary and the servers were paid minimum wage plus tips. She had to share her tips w/the busboys.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Another useful idiot.

[Fledermaus]

A moron wrote that.

[exit82]

I tip 20% or more, usually because I know that the waitress has probably been stiffed by some stingy a-hole during his or er shift.
