Pie Tip

Actually 20% is what you’re supposed to tip. Not 15% you cheap ass!

Well, Sara, I must say I agree with you. I see both sides of it for sure but your hourly wage is based on the work your doing. I bet 100% that it can get crazy and customers get cranky but anyone can qualify to work as a server.

I’m sorry, i have no idea where you all work, but you’re all ridiculous. If you really think a 20% tip is normal and expected, you’re delusional and as said be for, inappropriately self entitled. Keep in mind that tips are based on food prices, NOT overly priced alcohol. Anyways, 20% is for good service, not just basic service and increased or decreased based on satisfaction. I agree with earlier posts, get a better job if you’re trying to make a living OR, imagine this, give good service, anticipate guest needs, exceed expectations and get great tips for your great service…..

AND, just to point out, this photo post is about a clever, funny joke on a peice of paper. You have no way of knowing whether or not it’s real, or at a place like a subway, which by NO means deserves a 20% tip.

Get over yourselves.

Honestly, in these times if you can’t afford a good tip, don’t go out to eat. I go out of my way for every table I wait on and expect to get decent tips for that. The other day I got tipped $5 on a $52 bill, that crap ruins my day. My rule as a tipper is minimum $5 to pay for the service and the post-meal clean up (even if it’s just me), but 20-30% or sometimes higher for excellent service. it’s a rough job but nice people make it worth my time. Don’t be assholes freaking out over one late drink refill when your poor server is obviously busy as hell and having a rough night. My $2.15/hr doesn’t cover my bills, but the few amazing people who come in and make my night do.

Haha! Sara you think everyone out there getting paid big bucks all skilled or just happen to know the right route of action to get a good or possibly have their educations paid for, better yet they live in a different country where it’s much easier to get a good job? Higher base pay? Or even have the upper hand because of good genes, lack of learning infringements? I can write poetry and handle a group of kids better than I can serve any day of the week… Does that make me unskilled? We all must start somewhere! Don’t put people down. Everyone works for what they have and those that don’t well lucky you. Keep on trollin in the blogosphere.

20% is steep for me, but just to echo previous opinion and not to diminish the work you do, if what people can afford to tip isn’t good enough get a better job. Going out to eat for a lot of people is to do something nice for someone in their lives. Your job is to keep the customer happy not vice versa and if what the offer you as a generosity from themselves isn’t enough…you already know the rest.

Who’s to say they didn’t leave more? Maybe they wanted an even $30 deducted from their card and then chose to leave some cash too? By the way when you leave cash it’s better for the server, if it’s off your card, it’s taxed on them.

Im a bartender and I get paid 2.65 an hour. While I don’t expect people to leave a 20% tip because everyone doesn’t have the luxury of leaving the extra 2 dollars after they have made me run there credit card 47 time( sarcasm), I work a 40 hr work week I have 3 days off and I make 3200 dollars a week. You take the good with the bad. If your a cheap dick your service will suck, known fact but don’t tell me to get a better job I have 12 days off a month and make close to 90k a year. Get a better job, no thanks I’m good. Enjoy your cubical.

I think you don’t tip because you don’t like yourself

I think people have forgotten the whole idea of tipping. It’s not “pay me or I’ll give you crap service ” it’s “thank you for the excellent service, here’s a little something for you.” On that note, the joke in this picture is quite funny, I’ll try it next time I go out to eat.

Nope, sorry but I am going to have to disagree with the majority of comments here, and feel free to troll me after because I’m still entitled to give my opinion. Tips are not something you should expect, they are something you should earn. It’s attitudes like that which is why America is going down the shitter and the rest of the world hates you. I work as a server and bartender in the UK and from what it seems things are very different. We are given our base pay of just under £6/hour. Any tip we receive is considered a privilege and a thank you for our hard work. Last week I worked 40 hours and made less than £5 in tips. Not because my service was poor, but because here its not customary. So personally I think all of you complaining about getting less than 20% need to buck up. If I made even 5% off what I sold I’d be loaded. Get a grip

I don’t tip.
I don’t feel bad about it.
Not my fault they do not have a skill.

My niece is a servant.
She thinks her job is hard
because she is stupid and lazy.

Servants can be replaced by a conveyor belt.
