I am not trying to be rude. I truely would like someone to answer me honestly. Is it a cultural thing. I am white. Do they tip everyone poorly or just me. I am a very experienced server and do my best to give everyone the same service. I have actually made it my goal to go above and beyond for African Americans just to see if I can get a good tip.
Sorry if this offends anyone.

I will tell you why. Because you are supposed to and they work harder than most people.

We are not your servent but you do provide an experience for diners. Next time pay attention to what your server does for you and all the tables around you.

Also if all of you cheap asses want to do away with tipping than you will be paying through the nose for the food you eat. I make 20-30 dollars per hour and would never work for less than that hourly. Noone would. The job is way to demanding.

If you can't afford to pay your bills or tip your server than you shouldn't be going out to eat.

There are people who go out to eat and are complete pigs. Appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks and run their server all over for them. Then make comments like I can't afford to tip. Then why are you spending your money on WAY TOO MUCH food.

I've always enjoyed Sam Seltzer's Steak House in Tampa, Florida. We love going there for the Prime Rib. About two years ago, we went to the location in Clearwater, Florida. The steak tasted old and like it had almost gone bad. We sent it back and they brought us more that tasted exactly the same. They told us we were the only ones that complained that evening.
Tonight, we went to the one in Tampa and got the same thing. It was awful but by the time we got it , we had already complained about two other things and thought we wouldn't be taken seriously so we just dunked it in the au jus and toughed it out. Now with torn up stomachs, we wish we had said something!! We are not normally complainers so this was definitely not just in our heads. We have also eaten there many, many times and had great experiences. Today (Saturday), we got there when they opened at 3:30. I wonder if that had anything to do with it. So anyway, has this ever happened to you???

I'm getting tired of places like Outback Steakhouse, The Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc. as family or date night restaurants. They are crowded, noisy, and not excellent or exceptional at service, and they are expensive! I'm starting to really miss the old mom and pop restaurants that always had a table, a table with elbow room between table guests and other tables. That always took a moment to say hi and to get to know your name. That always had decent, if not great food, that everyone in the family could enjoy. I guess I'm getting old and missing the good old days. Anyone else feeling the same way?

I was eating dinner tonight at a California Pizza Kitchen in St. Louis, and listening to the table behind me chatter about what tip to leave after their meal. I heard one guy say, "She was pretty good" (about the waitress), followed by another person saying, "Leave two bucks," and the first person said "I'll leave a dollar twenty-five."

The guy ordered a pizza and a soda. That's gotta be 15 bucks, so this person was leaving anywhere between a 13 percent and a 7 percent tip, and decided that was acceptable for a waitress who did good service.

I always thought the standard tip was 15 percent, and I usually tip around 20%. Do people not understand that most waitstaff make $2.13 an hour? Or do they just not care? Is there a general feeling of "it's not like he/she has to pay for anything?" What's going on?

And what do YOU tip?

I realize that this is a pretty big question and a lot of really existential-crisis type subquestions.

When the waiter only serves you drinks and brings you your check

Also what about buffet resturants that are only clearing your table. you get your own food and drinks?

Why does the % that you leave for a TIP keep creeping upwards? Inflation accounts for the price of the meal going up, but the TIP % should always remain the same. When I was young i remember 6%, than 10%, than 15% and now i see it creeping to 20%. Doesnt it make more sense that the meal price would increase and along with it the TIP?
