No, this is not a racist question. It is just a fact. I always work hard to give the very best service to ALL of my customers. But whenever a black family comes in, all of the servers (this includes servers of all ethnicities) cringe a little because they know that in all likelihood, no matter how much they bust their butt, they will be tipped poorly. I am not a racist person at all. I have black friends, just as I have friends of most every ethnicity. They are all just people like anyone else. But there is no denying that this "bad tipping phenomenon" does indeed exist. I am just curious if anyone has any insight as to why this is. I could understand if the blacks were from another country/culture. But they're not. They're as American as it gets. So why the bad tips? I can understand if the service was poor, or if all the server did was bring the food and drinks. But not when I do my best to "wow" with my service, yet still get next to nothing. What's the deal?
