I've always felt that having a tip jar out is kind of an "honor" system, in sorts. Tip if you feel like tipping, if not, we won't hunt you down. Since most people at those types of places already make minimum wage, those tips are just divided between everyone else.

Why is it so hard to understand? They aren't holding a gun to your head. The people who work at those places don't make a lot of money and it wouldn't hurt to have a little more from people who appreciate the service they received. If it's appreciated, put a lil something extra in there. If you don't, then don't. It's not hard to understand. You guys are just being hard headed cheap asses.

That's really cool, I live in NRH let me know next time you go to a fast food place I'll follow you

Seriously though 15% tip is pretty much my standard 20% if exceptional and if its horrible I will not tip, that has happened just a few times in my life.[/QUOTE]

My parents just moved back to NRH, off Iron Horse (across street from the 13th fairway. You live northern area or south of 820?

I'll admit I'm cheap when it comes to tipping sometimes. But that being said, I can't afford to tip a couple of dollars if I eat out a lot because it starts to add up, and I'm not exactly stacked with cash right now.

I feel like a cradle robbing pervert at Bone Daddy's. Some of those girls are way to young for some of that stuff they wear.

Agreed. Being the father of two little girls it's just...weird to me now. Add to that the food at Bone Daddy's is the usual mass chain subpar quality overpriced for what it is grossness.

I tip everywhere unless service was plain crap. But I don't always hold that against the waiter/waitress. Not tip related but I was at Braums for lunch the other day and it took 25 minutes to get my food. By this time the whole place was packed with people waiting for orders. I'm certain it was not the person who took my order but probably the 2 jaggoffs that called in the day after the Super Bowl making everyone else work harder.

Outside of that; if your a not a fun person to be around....you don't get tipped well. Most of the time I could care less how long it takes my food to get to me etc.

My uncle is a pleasant man with a rather interesting way of tipping. He likes to place 10 one dollar bills on the table before he orders and says "this is your tip but one will be taken away as I choose.....and I like a lot of tea" lol. Kinda seems crappy but he always gets good service I give him that.

Yeah, the food there isn't really anything special either. Redneck Heaven has much better looking girls, IMO, and better food. And I've been there once, compared to Bone Daddy's twice.
