No, most kids nowadays I feel go into waiting staff positions thinking they can do very minimal, subpar to okay service, and they still expect to see a tip, a nice one, at the end of the meal, because it's customary to tip well. It's the entitlement issue again. They think they deserve a tip no matter how bad they are.

I tip very well unless I get ignored at the place... no refills, ask if food is ok or made properly, bring the food out ( i fucken hate when a runner brings my food and takes off) etc. I usually never go under 10 bit I tip my fav waiters at Ruths Chris and Abuelos almost 40 to 90 percent cause they bring me free drinks and shit without me even asking. I used to deliver pizzas in the day and we made min wage... it was like 8/hr or someshit in Cali. if i busted ass, risked a few tickets and got you your shit 10 min early, and got no tip, well, lets just say next time it was usually 20 minutes late. And I was the manager at night so I wouldnt comp your meal if it was cold, Id tell you to tip your gd driver next time you want your pizza on time. Lmfao.

The ones that always tipped got their pizzas about 5 minutes out of the oven...

So basically, you justified treating customers like crap because, you didn't get money that you are not entitled to.

... besides DT, I didnt treat customers like crap, they just werent treated exceptionally. you yourself dont tip unless you get exceptional service. I didnt provide exceptional service when i knew I wasnt getting tipped... it goes both ways... these customers were 2 to 3 times a week, you remember the addresses where you got burned very quickly...

I didn't take any offense to what you stated. The way the idea of tipping is presented is that you have to do it or you're an asshole. Perhaps it is because I do not and have not worked in that field but, I don't think I am incorrect under the understanding that work is paid accordingly, whether it be terrible, subpar, average or above average. If I were a waiter, I'd do my damndest eact time to make sure I got a tip but, maybe that is easier said than done on every attempt.

Part of the reason I don't go to a lot of dine in restaurants. I don't want that being held against me if some waiter did average service and got pissed off that I didn't tip. Same thing applies to strip clubs. I just don't go. And dancers are more inclined to perform better since they have to pay to go work. So if they are terrible performers, they actually lose money. If that applied to waiters/waitresses I would bet that FAR better service and tips would be experienced.

Either way, a tip is just that, it's not entitled, just like my bonuses are not entitled to me, I just work hard to try to get them.

Lol at the entitled tips, you arent going to get chased out of a place with a broom if you dont tip, just probably dont want to go to said place often. . Lol I usually always tip something, as you said though its based off how good of service i got. I usually start at 14 percent and go up, unless they are rude or just flat out suck it, then i have to go to 10 or less. Ive left no tip less tban 10 times in my life.

Thursday it snowed and my pizza got to my house in 1.75 hrs and was a tad cold. I still tipped the poor kid 2 bucks for having to drive around in the snow. It was more of a pitty tip. If he got it there sooner it woulda been closer to 10 bucks...
