10000 bucks tip to a waiter from..

Quite a lot of places in the UK put a service charge on the bill anyways. You can request to have it removed though, but I think it's a shady way of forcing you to tip.

 

Min wage round here is around 10 bucks an hour so meh.

 

I used to wait tables. It sucks. Mr. Trump's assement is spot on, a lot of people do not even consider you human.

Too bad he never came into my place to eat.

 

Personally, I think it is crap that the US restaurants depend on this and I honestly think that it needs to be changed. However, I usually, I tip on percentages.

20% and up if the service is good, drinks are refilled on a regular basis, food comes out in a reasonable amount of time, friendly, and just doing well above what a normal waiter would do.

15% if it is normal service, drinks are refilled fairly frequently (I have a bad habit of going through 3-4 diet cokes at a big dinner out), food comes out a little off time (Not the waiters fault, but still), and just being average.

10% and below is when you just suck at your job, which is really hard to do. Never refill drinks, food comes out late and tastes like crap (and I am not a picky eater, either), and just being lousy. I very rarely get people like this, but I will not tip generously if any of the above is done.

On big occasions, I try to give a decent enough tip if I have a large amount of people (Usually about $50 and above on a $100+ meal), and about $3 tip on Pizza delivery, even when they already charge the tip on there (It tears up your car pretty badly). From what I understand, there are even places that charge the waiter if the guests stay for a long period of time or even just in general (Which is crap, those are the places that tend to go out of business in 3 months).

 

Very true. One of my 1st jobs ever in high school was in a Chinese restaurant...I made $3.00/hour - I relied on tips to pay the bills.

The fakeness of this story aside, if you are not strapped for cash, then why not?

If you want to really know somebody, see how he treats his inferiors.

 

why not?because tips arent tax exempt and registered charities are. 10K to a charity is more nobel and rewarding hence.

 

Ahhh... but you don't have to declare the actual amount of your tips. You only need to delace a certain amount of your sales for that day (back in the day it was 8%, but this was a long time ago.)

Rather, if you didn't declare at least that much, it would looks suspcicious. Thus since it's customary to tip %15 and you only delcare 8%, then you make out ahead. That's why it's such a savage burn when someone stiffs you - becasue you have to declare that sale anyway. Thus the waiter actually loses money when you don't tip.

If I got a ten thousand dollar tip, it would be pretty hard not to delcare that. But a few hundred bucks? A thousand bucks? Hell no I wouldn't declare it. The IRS can kiss my ass.

 

i live in the tip-less country!

btw. anyway a nice story about donald. seems to be a nice guy in some ways.

 

I love the tipping system in this country. It weeds out the crappy servers from the good ones. Good ones get paid, bad ones quit.

 

I wanted to punch the shit out of the Hilton in Narita. We stayed there the day before we had a flight. I went and had breakfast, and noticed at the bottom they add 10% service fee to all checks. The thing is, it's not a fucking tip. It doesn't go to the waiters, and it's not customary to tip in Japan anyway. Fuck those assholes.

A prick in every other one.
