Wait what the fuck is the bullshit with if you can not tip at least 10 to 15 percent you shouldn't go out to eat? What about do an outstanding job and make my night out fantastic and I will gladly pony over a good tip but fuck my night up and you will be lucky that I not only write a big ass zero on the tip lines but also complain to the manager on the way out.
I do not care if you early a low hourly rate, yet around here they do get minimum wage plus tips so that argument not valid with me. I tip and I tip often, hell I tip many people who most never do tip just out of custom of what my grandparents taught me (mailman anyone?). However I was raised and still believe that tipping is 100% optional and based on exceptional service.
Hell as a kid when I delivered papers not only was it required that they be rolled, bagged, banged, and on a porch or in a paper holder by no later than 6am. I had to also pay for every newspaper myself, every rubber band, every plastic bag, my delivery bag, my receipt book, you name it. Then it was my duty to go collect from customers. Tips were very damn important to me and I imagine just as important to any waiter. Though I made sure to find out the customers desires and then meet or exceed them. No knocking papers off the door, placing them in the V of the porch support so the dog wouldn't grab it which also meant getting off my bike to do it, you name it. I however was rewarded for it. All the while also knowing that just two complaints in a month would mean me loosing my damn route. So yes I can understand the service industry.
I just have a peeve when people act or assume they are entitled or that I am less of a person if I tip someone according to the service provided.
Oh something else. Those laughing at the Quizno's tip jar, why? They not only are serving you, they are actually personally assembling your meal as per your request. Why is this different than some chain place you sit down at and Jane smith brings you your choose 3 from Apple bee's. Hell I actually think in that instant quizno's person should trump Apple bee's lady.
