I picked yes the first option. But That is not entirely true. i tip well whether it is male female fat skinny bald ugly, that is waiting on me. As a matter of fact Abe and I went to Chilis' a few days ago and the bill was about $30 and I left a $20 tip just to see a smile on the guys face. And no he was not good looking at all.

According to my sage, Julian Niccolini, co owner of the four seasons resturant You should tip twenty percent no matter what. If you want to leave more it's fine, but if you have bad service, you should tip and tell the manager your service was bad. That way the server knows they sucked and doesn't just think you're a lousy tipper. (paraphrased of course from detials)
 
I'll for the most part leave a good tip... but it's not because I'm gay... It's because I am a waiter, and have been for the last 4 years-ish, so I know what it's like. Plus, the way I see it... I've gotten enough tips in my lifetime to cover all tips I would need to leave... and then some.
 
I have a few friends who were waitpeople. They always insist on leaving a good tip if the service was good or just OK.

I tend to leave 10% if the service was bad, and 20-25% if the service was good. I have a very annoying friend (for servers) so if he's with us, we have to leave a bigger tip!

Once the waiter had a very loud frat boy burp while he was tending to us... No tip for him!
 
I have high expectations. Not unreasonable ones. People make mistakes. The real test of service is how well they recover from those mistakes.

I give insanely high tips when they are deserved. I praise the server, I speak to the manager about how great it was.

When the service is poor, I don't tip (unless the server had nothing to do with it), and I speak to the mananger, and explain extactly why I won't be coming back. And, refuse any late attempts at recovery.

I'm a bitch, what can I say. :)
 
While I freely admit to giving the odd large tip to a cute guy waiter/bartender, my general rule is to tip according to service (I've also given quite large tips to female servers who were truly spectacular). If the server seems to take an interest in my party (regardless of slow kitchen work or things outside their control) and is personable, I'll easily go 20% or so. If they're all business and average, 15%. I have, on very few occasions (maybe 2-3), given less if a server was snotty or rude or totally disinterested, as in lazing around the service area in plain view when we asked for something simple like water or ketchup.
 
I tip according to service, 10-15% usually, and a flat rate for delivery. I will tip more than the usual 10-15% if the server is friendly and/or charming in addition to being attentive and efficient.

It's a throwback from my own waitering days, I suppose.

I think the all idea of tipping automatically is silly.

Service should be included in the price of what you buy - in a restaurant you can hardly go and fetch your plate in the kitchen ! . Next thing you'll pay more to have a knife and fork or a napkin.

Tipping should be restricted to exceptionnal service.

It is the same in the shops. You see a nice thing in the window, costing 99 $ and you end up having to pay 110 or more. In Europe that is considered robbery, or commercial malpractice.

Service is always included as is VAT.

Ya, I'm also broke...lol

No, I just know that it's a tough job servicing people and they live off tips. So I try to be nice. ;)
Click to expand...


I am broke too elvin, yet I tip NO LESS than 20%. I've had too many friends in the industry tell me horror stories!!

Yet, if he is hot AND nice, I will tip a little more.

So bad, I know. BUT, 20% is the minimum, even if they spit in my food and I don't know it.

;)
 
We don't tip in Australia.
 
I hear in some countries they automatically charge for the service in the bill. Makes sense, evens it out, no one can complain about some customers being cheap.

Personally, it's 15% if the service is good. If the service is basic, then I won't bother to do the mental math and i'll just shift the decimal point (10%). If they rush me through my meal because they want the table, then all they get is the table ;)

I would like to mention that cooks and dishwashers don't get paid much more (at least, around here) and they don't get tips. The waiter might bring you your food and drinks, but it's people like me who scrape off the filth from your plates when you're done ;) The bright side is the kitchen staff get away with being sloshed :p
 
Ok, im a student, so i dont have a lot of disposable income, so when it comes to tipping, i abstain. I just cannot afford to anyhow, and anyway its not like i go to these major restaurants where tipping is mandatory. I usually go to some fast food place where you dont have to tip.
 
I prefer the "Mr. Pink" method of tipping, as told in Reservoir Dogs.

I expect a certain level of service to warnt a tip.

Rule #1: The refill.

If I'm at a place that gives free refills on their soft drinks/coffee, I expect a refill when my glass is starting to get low. Some places catch this quickly, and will bring a drink to your table before you even finish the first one. A place that does this automatically gets $2 contributed to the tip.

Rule #2: The Service.

If my waitor/waitress is absent minded, or obviously would rather be somewhere else: Then that's a deduction. I'm not saying you have to be overly perky, that's a deduction too...Just, make an effort. If I see you less then three times (not including the ordering/bringing of food/taking away plates) then something is wrong. IF I see you more then ten, you might be flirting...Who knows?

Rule #3: Memory

Not a necessity, but damn does it impress the customer. I went out with my family once, and our waitress did not write anything down. Not only did she get the orders completely right, but she also remembered who ordered what...Considering there was six of us at the table, that's damned impressive.

And thats all...But 1 and 2 are the most important.

*Rule 4: Cute server...Automatic $2 increase...
 
I always tip at least 20%. At a bar, I tip $1 per drink ordered. I used to work in the service industry and I know that I made $2.13 an hour without any health benefits. It's one of the thankless jobs. Most of my friends are still in the service industry. I've broken up with people before who were poor tippers. I don't care if the waiter/tress is gay/straight or male/female or ugly/pretty. I just want to be taken care of and I will take care of them.
 
I'm a generous enough person, but I rarely go to places where tipping is customary. I prefer chinese all-you-can-eat buffets (being self-service, nobody to tip!)... the curry at one of my local ones is just AAAAAWESOME! :D
 
Stereotype is the buzz word.
I worked as a bartender in a gay bar for five years. It was more of a neighborhood bar than a dance club.
There were a sprinkling of straight people, mostly friends, relatives or cowrokers of regular patrons.
Generally other "service" people tipped best i.e. bartenders, servers, hair stylists taxi drivers etc.
There are exceptions to that too. One regular was a hairstylist who refused to get a cell phone. He frequently came with his lover, his Mom, sister and sisters bf. I served their drinks, emptied their ashtrays,took their phone messages. After a typical visit I served around 5 drinks each to 5 people, he would leave a $1.00 tip.
Personally I tip very well, but if times are tough financially, I don't go out if I can't budget in a fair tip. I'd rather stay home than to be so arrogant to expect people to wait on me without adequate compensation.
The one exception to generous tipping is a bad haircut. I feel I shouldn't tip for a rotten haircut that I have to bear with for a couple of weeks (until it grows in), and then pay for a second haircut to correct the bad one.
 
I tip average unless its a gay establishment and then I tip higher.
 
My usual formula is twenty per cent. Because I travel four to five days a week, my tips usually add up to fifteen dollars per day.

I worked as a waiter, and my tip average was 18 per cent.

The only time I tip less is for poor service.

I also seek out the maitre d' or hostess, and advise them of the excellent service I received (I do this with discretion).
