| It seems like most of the kids working at different places are just there to grab-ass, and act like asses. I'll say this, if me or my family run out of drink, it will be reflected in your tip. If it's empty for a while your not getting a thing. That to me is one of the most important things when i'm eating. Thats like the Chili's in pace when they first opened they were very unprepaired for the surge that they had, but as a consumer thats not my problem. I even gave them another shot, but still left madder than a box of spiders. Bottom line bad service = $0.00.

ive seen it but thats 2 different subjects. remember tips come after your meal not before. they dont know what their getting till its done. besides they need to earn it like everyone else earns their wages. that would be like me(the waiter or waitress) sitting in my air conditioned service truck and only going out there to work when something breaks or absolutely needs to be fixed(angry customer not getting the service he deserves) instead of being out there working all the time on stuff to keep it running well(happy customer who leaves nice tip).

| so...just how much should a waiter or waitress make in one hour? $8, $12, $18? how many tables are required for that? At some point the value of a meal, including service,is only worth so much. If someone wants to make 200 per hour, then maybe waiting is not the right profession for them. One could go broke just by tipping...hair, cab, airport baggage guy, waiter, etc.

| First off I agree with Murph, I have been on the cooking side and the server side. I never tip based on what the cost of the meal is! I have been to buffets and had great service and have been to fine dining and had shitty service and attitude. The restraunts that we frequent we have made friends with the servers and they take good care of us. I tip based on SERVICE not the price of the food. I have given $10-15 at for a $46 bill at Barnhills and have left $5 at "nicer" restraunts. Bottom line = do your JOB and take care of your customers and quit thinking of them as just anouther tip! And never try to judge your tip by apparance I have seen servers that kiss people wearing a suits arse and them leave a $2 tip while I am dressed casual and leave $10. And yes I tip my barber!

| There are quite a few good points here. I had the pleasure of working with Murph this past weekend and he sure busts his ass in that HOT kitchen for what he doesn't gets paid. Murph...my hat is off to you (as well as your co cooks) ,as you really must love what you are doing and the hours you put in. Unlike others I have a range of tips that I give out. I NEVER leave nothing...NEVER. If what you consider bad service and warrants no tip...I leave $0.01...That tells the server he did a shitty job vs forgetting. I will also talk to the manager on two occasions...1) Bad service...2) Exceptional service..that goes along with the food. My tips vary from $0.01 for bad/lack of service, 10% for good but nothing out of the ordinary, 15-20% for those that are there without my asking for them. I don't tip on the entire bill....If I'm going to tip around 15% I'll double the tax...easiest way to figure. How I feel about delivery as in Pizza is another story. I've done it and those cheap BAS****S that stiff get my goat. I've seen cases that it cost me/drivers money to make that delivery to the customer. I tip drivers what it would cost ME in gas to drive there and pick it up plus extra based on the time it took. I had a customer that worked for UPS (they make good bucks), he/she never tipped. One night I took the change of all of $.16 and lined it on the roof of his car so they would see it when they got in. That was the last time they stiffed any driver. Think about it..some drivers get your Pizza to you within 30 minutes, drive as much as a 20 mile round trip and get NOTHING.........It just cost him about $2.00 out of his pocket to make that delivery. I help a neighbor at his Pizza shop a couple nights a week as he needs ideas on how to better run his new business. I told him that I would NEVER deliver the first Pizza in my auto. PERIOD. At that store they drive as much as a 20 mile round trip and it cost no less then $3.50 just in gas, and get what a $1.50 per run, NO WAY. One driver had 5 stiffs (less then $1.00..just the change) in a row one night.
