Other - Dining Out

I don't want to offend any service related people, but if you're already getting paid hourly, why should you receive a tip for simply doing your job? The U.S. is one of a few countries where tipping is EXPECTED. Now, if your entire salary is based on tips or commissions, that's one thing. I'm talking about servers in the U.S. who are already making much more than minimum wage and still expect tips. And most of the time, they expect it, when they don't even merit that much. Example: you go out and eat. Bill comes to $70. Now I'm expected to pay an additional $13-$20 for someone to do what they were hired to do? I don't get paid extra for fixing something, or for simply doing my job. And honestly, for people who say, "oh, the job is very tough and demanding, etc..." I've been a server. I didn't like it, so I quit and got a job better fit for me. I think tipping should be reserved for services rendered above and beyond your normal job scope. Not a reward for mediocrity.

I just started waiting tables at macaroni grill and am also an opera singer. Part of the reason I wanted to work there was so I could sing. I have sung a couple of times now, but have not recieved any tips for singing, which I have been told is often done. Does anyone have any tips as to how to get tips for singing? I think the customers dont know that they can, or where they would give it to me. There isnt really anywhere I can think of to put a tip jar. Someone suggested I print cards that say "tips appreciated". Any mac grill current or past singer/waiters have any tips on getting tips? :)

If my food server is so so or bad I give 10%,
if they were nice or good I give double the tax..
if they were really good and made sure my drinks were topped off. I give 20% or more.

Have you ever spit in a customer's food? or done worse (ejaculated into it), i was watchin tv and they had hidden cameras in restaurants and a lot of chefs/waiters did that. Be honest please. Also if you know anyone who did/does that, please do tell. You can remain anonymous.

How much do you tip them? Ok, isn't the tip already included because they charge $1.00 for delivery? I'm a teenager and I don't work so I don't really have money to give them. Money is hard for me to get so how can I tip them?

Can I use them for delivery? Do i just hand them the coupon when they get here? or do they not work for delivery?

I'm always nice to people at fast food places and restaraunts, but I'm still a little paranoid about this. Have you ever spit on someone's food when they didn't do anything nasty to you? Why?

When you go to a buffet-type restaurant, how much are you expected to tip the waiter/waitress? Since you serve your own food are you expected to tip the same as in a regular restaurant?

Should you figure the tip on only the meal cost or the total bill including the tax?

2007-07-06 13:58:47 · 20 answers · asked by bbulloch2000 1

Do you never go back? Do you complain to the management? Do you stiff on the tip? Do you ignore the server's attitude and chow down?

Happy 4th of July to all my friends out there. My question is What is the most you've ever eaten at one time. Yesterday on July 4th, I watched the Hotdog eating contest at Nathans at Coney Island in New York. The guy that won the contest ate 66 Hot dogs. I mean I love Nathans too, but 66 hotdogs. GROSS!!! Now, I know that they train themselves for this. I know when I was a kid I once ate a whole box of Yodels and when i was older a whole pizza pie, but now being in my mid 40's if I have more than a couple of slices of pizza or overeat at a chinese buffet I will be on the toilet for a half hour.(sorry for being so gross) So, Whats the most you have ever eaten, did you barf afterwards did you get sick. Tell me about your biggest pig-0ut session, answer that makes me laugh the most gets the 10 points. THANKS!!
