*********Tipper's Name: Serena and Venus Williams Restaurant: Italian Where it happened: Boston Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $280.00 / $20.00 / 7% What happened: They came in with coaches managers and groupies....ordered things that were not on the menu only drank a strict 40% water 60% cranberry juice mixture and very rudely snapped their fingers for water refills (they had played that afternoon). The manager payed one bill and tipped well the groupies payed the other and left only 20 bucks. They were awful, and when they got the bill had us split it 12 ways and denied ever ordering half the things their fat asses just ate! Never again if these two walk in will i jump to serve them and their group of 12- 14 aunts uncles cousins neighbors and any or all other groupies that walk around kissing their asses!

******Tipper's Name: Natalie Merchant Restaurant: Campagna Where it happened: New York Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $108.00 / $8.00 / 7% What happened: Not to mention all the shit she got for free that night from the evil owner of this now defunct B-list celeb shit hole

from reading this thread I have summised the following are poor tippers: Blacks, Jews, Indians, French Canadians, Asians, Europeans, athletes, Movie stars, rock stars, single women and Senior citizens. Well, I guess we've finally come up with something that young white men are still the best at!

I am going to agree with that. When it comes to generosity on any level, the white american male will usually come out on top.

I disagree that asians, single women and athletes are bad tippers. They are not good or bad. These are mostly middling tippers, about 15%.

[strela]

Are you a bad tipper?

I consistently tip between 15 and 20 percent. I have been known to leave a penny for really, truly horrible service though.

I think its a conspiracy. But then again, everything is.

[staytrue]

Whenever a server mentions a tip to me, I tell them, "Plant yer corn early this year". :)

I also love it when I give someone a hundred for a 20 dollar bill and the waiter asks, "do you need change ?"

[Balding_Eagle]

Your surly attitude reminds me of waiters I've had from time to time.

They, and you, won't be getting a tip from me if their lives depended on it.

I don't suffer fools or arrogant waiters well, and if my only recourse is no tip, well, I'm more than eager to do my part.

good manners are taught.

I think good manners are about having respect for other people's space and privacy. I don't think tipping is about manners. Tipping is a custom that does vary in different countries, over different eras and over different occupations. Not tipping correctly is about either a lack of knowledge to the custom or about can be about being cheap.

For most things, if you respect other people, you will mostly have good manners.

[wardaddy]

Respect is given unless actions merit the removal of it...then it must be earned.

I think tipping as is customary is good manners ...just my opinion.

Willie Nelson "Now there's a man with class"

Too Bad he is a socialist.....

[Vinnie]

I admit I have problems with places that are generally self-serve buffets.

I know what you mean. However, My wife worked at one before we were married
Her stories of generally poor tips, having to clean up after the slobs that frequented the place convinced me that even though the server didn't actually bring me my food I would tip at least customarily.
Unless the service is unusually bad I leave at least 15%.

Watch them sometime. They usually 'bus' also.

I was only trying to be funny. I thought ,if you were a bad tipper, that was the reason your computer crashes at Bitterwaitress'.

Not funny! Maybe next time.

I delivered pizza and chicken delight for 5 years in my car that I repaired myself when it broke down. You cannot say that, can you?

Actually I delivered pizza's for about a year. The car did not break down but I did the maintenance on the things I could and took it to a mechanic to do the things I couldn't. It was from tips that I kept my car running. That's why I was so vehement about people who stiff drivers. A waitress invests time on a customer, a driver actually has "spent" their own money to deliver whatever. I'm sure you know that.

[fortunecookie]

Still, with all their left wing views, you'd think they'd show the working class some respect.

Actually, the further left they get, the more they seem to think of the little people as their personal slaves, there to do their bidding, because they know what's best for the great unwashed masses. All the while proposing that what they are doing is to make life better for the working class. As long as they don't have to live like the working class, or be treated like them. Afterall, they are sooo much better. They just want to help the working class, why won't the working class let them?

[fortunecookie]

I wonder how many of these low tippers started out, themselves, as waiters/waitresses hoping for that the tip money would help make their earnings more livable. Funny how quickly people forget. Or want to feel so important that they have to make someone else feel or seem worse.

[Fraulein]

I personally find liberals to be hypocrites on just about everything.

I agree with you 100%.

Penn is the only one that talks (in public).

I got dragged up on stage one night in Vegas to staple Teller to a chair. He talked to me when I stapled his ass down good. They said staple his collar and cuffs but I got his pants, coat, shirt, and socks, heck I would have had his shoes down if he hadn't said anything.

He had tensed his arm when I went to fasten him down so I couldn't get the cloth to wrap tightly around his limbs. He had incredible arms but if you use your knee to leverage him down, well he's not that strong.

So, he's mocking me on stage while I'm pulling the staples from his suit (cheap Sears thing if I remember correctly), so I wouldn't spoil the act.

Marvelous entertainers, Unusual politics.

At the end of the show, they ran to the exit and shook everyone's hands as we exited the theater.

Their show BullSh*t on Showtime is pretty good as well. Man did they skewer the rats on Global Warming and also on genetically modified foods.

[AdA$tra]

Is Penn the short or the fat one?

He is the LOUD one.

[cyncooper]

How about Hillary? Didn't she leave some waitress at a diner a couple cents in upstate NY during her campaign? ....

Actually, I think she left no tip whatsoever, but I could be wrong.

[PizzaDriver]

Well SAID. I started "moonlighting" as a pizza driver when we put our youngest into private school.

The logical conclussion is Tip More when the roads are BAD.

Don't punish the "Pizza Driver" for the Blizard.
