Every waiter (even the Mexican and black ones) cringe when they get a table of Mexicans....they run you around and they tip HORRIBLY! Don't tell me because they are poor, b/c they always spend more on their bills than any other race does...between bar drinks, appetizers and the most expensive entrees?! I'm not talking about the "fresh from the river ones" (they will actually tip better most of the time, go figure)...I'm speaking of the Americanized ones---they are so ungrateful!! If any of you happend to be reading this, the tipping percentage is 15-20% of the bill--and waiters make $2.13/hr, just so you know. Is it because you can't do math, or do you just not care?
PS--I started waiting tables as a very non-judgemental person, and after years of doing this, I have come to some conclusions about certain types of people--so sue me, I have eyes and a brain and the ability to reason!

Uh yeah, well I don't have a bad attitude to my tables, and they would never know the difference of what I think of them...I've had only one complaint in seven years.
And---you obviously have never waited tables and don't know what it is like to have to live on tips, my bill collector's like to get paid to you know!

Be grateful I have a job, seriously, that is the worst excuse for bad behavior I have ever heard.
You must be a boss or something, and definetly part of the corporate machine.

They have no morals. Take a look at their country - They're still living in the stonehenge way. They're disrespectful and don't really give a damn what anyone else thinks. Their fat wife would rather her husband save the two dollar tip for an extra side of french fries.

I'm a delivery driver for a pizza chain and i have found that insterting parts of my body or some waste product from my body into other people's food really does relieve alot of the stress that bad customers can cause. After a while you get to know pretty well when you are and when you aren;t going to get a tip, so go with that gut feeling and find a creative way to add flavor to those soda straws.
And to answer your quesiton about mexicans, well,, i can't. Around here i haven;t been able to produce any real racial bias as far as tipping.

I understand. I myself work in a restaurant and am Mexican. It is true most Mexicans are cheap. Unfortunately you can't really say anything. I would suggest that if you see the same faces, talk to your manager to see if you can add the gratuity on their bill. You should do that especially if most of your customers are Mexican.

For the same reason that some white people tip badly and let their kids run wild (I've left restaurants because of white families, but I've never had any similar experiences with non-white families).
Most of my family is in food service (my mom works in a highway diner), and I'm pretty good with math and generally round up, but if you've got an attitude when I walk in, I won't go for 20% and may not even do 15%.
FYI, white guy here.

Even in Mexican tourist destinations waiters prefer non-mexican guests because they tip better and have less demands.

Bad tip #1 - because they are 'thrifty'
Bad tip #2 - because you are white
Bad kids - Because they are selfish a-$$holes. Period.
There are NO other reasons.

in answer to your question ....well I just don't know ...however the whole idea of tipping is abhorrent to me .....I would not tip... your fight about money is with your employer not the customer ....
This seems to be one of the less desirable traits of American life I live in Au , clean air, little or no pollution, low taxes ,Higher wages....the list goes on ........and no tipping.... generally
waiters wage about $16-$20 hr

They are a lower class race. They let their kids run wild because they have no cooth. I wish you had the choice not to serve them.

A question for the ages. Nobody knows except for them, but don't ask them or you'll be racist.
