as someone who use to be a waiter, let me tell you something.
1. tips are actually mandatory as wait stuff are taxed by the government on 10%
so. so they actually pay tax on that 10% tip you were supposed to give them.
2. If someone is a dick, they dont deserve a tip.
Most wait staff are friendly good looking people, for most of you trolls it is as close as you will get to a hot girl or a hot guy. So you should be nice, they are handling your food for fuck sake.
The last time i waited a table, they gave me 23 cents as a tip.
I was probably the best waiter going at the time. I could have been serving at 5 Star restaurants, but instead i was at an average restaurant. I made from 100 on a low night to 400 on a good night.
When they gave me 23 cents i was currently working night and day. Day at Dell computers in sales, and then at night as a waiter. I walked out into the parking lot, caught up with their car and gave them back the 23 cents.
then i went inside and told everyone what i had done. Then i went to the change room, as i came out the manager was there to tell me i didnt need to work that night... no shit sherlock
I was headed to Peterborough to go to a PArty, my first weekend off in 2 years.
Fuck your restaurant..lol
Anyway, these days i top standard 10%...and 20% if they are hot..or did a wicked job.
