    Are you for, or against tipping?

    I’m a server in training, and I’ll be making $2 below federal minimum wage (I’m in Canada), and I DON’T EXPECT TIPS.

    Here’s why: I, on my own free will, got this shit job. The customer shouldn’t bear the responsibility of my wage.

    If they leave a $1 or $2, that’s great! If they leave 5 or 10 percent of the bill, that’s fine too. I expect NOTHING from the customer, simply because I don’t feel self entitled.

    Career waiters and waitress – those who are not attending school – tend to be single moms, or massive failed faggots actor or models who wait tables, and they have this sense of self entitlement that they should get a 15 or 20 percent tip, FUCK YOU. Eat a dick.

    What’s your thoughts?

    td;dr Career waiters and waitresses are massive faggots.

    I went to work at noon today, I figured that the senior waiters there who is getting full share of the tip is making around $14 per hour slinging dishes. Overworked chinks who take their job so seriously, don't laugh, are very robotic in their work. They seem stressed out, and I would be too, if I'm working at this shit tier job for years.

    Also, I suspect the employees bowls are dirty as fuck, because I saw the manager furiously scrubbing his bowl before eating it today, I'm going to wash mine too and be careful; chinks tend to be very un-sanitary.

    Why would I make friends with the co-workers; some are cool, like the students while the career waiters are massive, psychotic faggots. One guy, insist on giggling like a school girl in front of the manager. When he's actually worker, he rages and yells at his co-workers; little does he know that customers can hear him in the work station.

    Today I encountered the "desperate waiter".

    Most people wait tables to get through college but single moms, or a guy with a kid and wife and needs money are stressed out waiter.

    Meet Victor - Victor speaks with a thick chinese accent; it's hard for me to understand him. He's stressed out and constantly bickers and yells at his co-worker; I would too, if I mortage and car payment to pay. Or maybe he just has a really small dick. Either way, I'm super friendly to him, since it's just work and it's nothing personal.

    In Canada, the waiting staff gets paid $2 under the mininum wage. A typical night, the waiter is getting $30 to $50 per night, cash ... tax free ... on top of his base wage! So you're looking at around $14 for waiting tables. At a higher end restaurant, you're look at $20 to $30 per hour. Not bad for a gig, considering minium wage is $10.25

    But the fact remains - career waiters are still losers.

    There's a fat girl at work, her face is wide like a saucer pan. Sometimes I would talk to her; and her eyes will be dreamily, deep in sexual fantasy. I mentally shudder.

    Today, I was serving 3 customers, who are westernized Asian; they're even chubby like them too. Three of them look like in their mid to late 20s. Okay; so one of them has a loud, clacking voice that is really fucking loud. "I'm dating this guy because ... well, because he's nice. He buys me stuff and does things for me, and he's ... just too nice"

    The bitch whines and goes on and on about her dating life; I wonder what kind of beta male would date a chubby clacking whore like her? A fat chick like her isn't going to find an alpha male - she simply doesn't have the looks. Instead, she'll be stuck with a beta male, and should be content that he's nice to her - in exchange for sloppy sex.

    She was about to put a fork in her mouth, and I stared at her, my face a blank expression. She let her fork suspend in the air midway, and her two friends look at me too. We stared at each other, blinkless, for 3 seconds. Then I turned away, empathic for the beta male dating the 4/10 obnoxious sea whale.

    as a capitalist I only believe in giving people what they earn and not a drop more, so if you want a tip out of me then you have better made my experience fucking magical. The most in normal situations is the loose change in my pocket or what I get back when paying the bill because I dont want to carry it around.

    I genuinely like working as a server, because it's Zen-like practice. I get lost in the tasks at hand, and my ego dissolves into nothingness. I feel pretty content, and the hours fast by pretty fast. For example, a 3.5 hour shift feels like 45 minutes.

    With that said, I have complete contempt for my co-workers. While I'm outwardly nice, inside I feel that they're fucking losers working this as a career. They put on a false facade being nice to customers, and inwardly bicker among each other for tips. Servers are nothing more then glorified beggers. Hell, I feel like a loser by standing close to my co-workers.

    Probably the worst faggots in existence are self entitle waitress / waiters, mainly white kids who are waiting tablse to put themselves through college. They feel entitled to a 20 percent tip, simply because they carry trays around. Get fucked cunt, next time I see a waitress threatening to spit on customer's food, I'm stomping her cunt.

    40 years old bartenders tend to be losers also; in the career totem pole, they're in the bottom rung. Who the fuck wants to date a 40 years old bartender? The worst faggotry is the bartender who expect $1 tip because he opened a beer bottle for you. Jesus fuck, more self entitled attitude. I find the worst bartender are white people, since their self entitle attitude were instilled to them by baby boomer parents.

    I leave 10% if the service is acceptable. As in they bring my food and drinks on time and check back at least twice during the meal for refills and reorders. People that go beyond that get 150-20%. TOPS. Never more than 20% even if they are an amazing waiter/waitress. Should never spend more on the wait staff than a section of the meal.

    Ex-waitress here. I learned 3 things while working this admittedly dismal job:

    1.) People don't look their waitresses in the face when they order their food. I try to do this now. It's a small thing, but it made me feel so subhuman - as if I wasn't worthy of their full attention.

    2.) People are messy as fuck. I always stack my dirty plates and try to scoot them to the edge of the table for ease of clean up. You have no idea how many waitresses/waiters have thanked me for this or have asked me if I was once a waitress too. It's just a small polite thing to do that makes a major difference.

    3.) My performance during your NEXT visit is affected by your tip. I have a memory like an elephant. If you tip me well, I will rock your socks with beverage refills, sneak you extra freebies and even "forget" to charge you for small things here and there.

    I honestly don't know why OP felt that his self-righteous opinion really needed it's own thread. This is a topic where NO ONE will leave the conversation happy.

    I try to always take a stance of never forgetting where I cam from. I started out small, I worked hard, i climbed the ladder and paid my dues just like how these people are probably doing.

    Who am I to judge their life's choices. Who are YOU that your opinion matters? We're no one, pal. We're not special unique snowflakes. Get over yourself and move on.

    I hate tipping, but I do it anyways, because this is the USA and that's just how it works.

    I especially hate tipping bartenders. Fuck them, tip them a dollar for shuffling behind a bar and handing me a bottle of beer? That isn't worth what I did to earn that dollar.

    Yet, I do tip them, because bartenders will hate and ignore you if you don't tip and are less forgiving if you act a fool, I always tip with ones, never with coins (coins are useless to a bartender, they will just hate you more) or higher bills. I save the coins for the jukebox.

    I tip 1$ per drink and what I do is I take the dollar bill and I roll it into an incredibly tight cylinder and when I had about 3 drinks, I hand the Scrolls of Trivial Wealth to the bartender with a bit of flourish and dashing wit.

    They almost always think/ act like it's charming and I've never been 86'd or ignored by a bartender, so I'm just going to keep doing that.

    I tip pizza guys heavily, because they not only drove to my apartment, which is dangerous, they hiked up 3 flights of stairs with a hot-ass portable oven sleeve thing. I either tell them to keep the change from a 20 note or I give those fuckers the all the loose coins I couldn't spend at the bar. Pizza guys like quarters, especially if it's like $6 worth of quarters and maybe a wilted one note to serve as a bag for it.

    Foreveralone awkward guy here, if you're even somewhat attractive I don't look you in the eye because I feel degraded when attractive waitresses are super nice to me because hot women are never nice to me IRL so I know exactly why you're being nice and I don't like it one bit.

    I prefer to avoid the humiliation by avoiding eye contact. Don't worry lady you'll get your tip, let's not make this any more fake or awkward than it needs to be.

    your first argument assumes that waiters should be paid more than their wage for the job they do, despite the fact that every other profession endeavors to do quality work for the wage their job specifies.

    your second argument actually implies that the food industry underpays their workers, which is not a problem for paying customers to pick up the slack for, but for employers to step up and remedy.

    your third argument is simply false since the outrageously inflated prices of food in the service industry itself discounts the incentive for customers to shell out additional money for the job of waiters to serve said food (no matter how much they smile or refill your water)

    It's not an assumption, it's the way it is.

    this would essentially triple the labor cost of every restaurant, that cost will then be passed on to the customer.

    And here is where you prove you have absolutely no knowledge of how a restaurant operates. Prices at most restaurants (not fast food/natl chains) are quite reasonable when you look at everything that must be covered.

    If you can't afford to eat out, don't. It's not the restaurant's obligation to operate at a loss just for you.

    The cost for labor will be passed on to you whether you like it or not, at least with tipping it's optional.

    Servers are what make an eating experience good or bad. If you have a bad eating experience, you whine and complain about it, it can ruin the entire experience, you will probably never go back to that restaurant again.

    A great server makes you glad you are eating out. Look, if you think that being a good server deserves below minimum wage, then really, you deserve to never eat out again. Cook your own fucking food and serve it to your own fucking self.

    Then go die in a fire.

    I don't see why the fuck I should have to pay extra if I have already pay for my food and the service. If I am very satisfied with the service and food the. Maybe I will leave a tip. That being said when I used to work in a pub restaurant our pub landlord managed to smooth talk a table of 6 pensioners into leaving a £50 tip which I thought was pretty low, also the staff were a bit pushy towards customers when it came to tips and usually badmouthed them if they didn't tip.

    But in America, you don't pay for the service unless you tip.

    I am for tipping, only if they deserve it. I've not tipped twice before on purpose because it was the worst service I've ever had.
    I normally tip about 15-20% if they did good and refilled drinks, etc.
    If the tip is like a $1 or something, I'll give them $2-3 instead. If they did a really good job and went beyond expectations, like free food or something, I'll tip them 20% at least.

    I hate it when they expect tips though. I used to work at a local pizza shop. I'd make minimum wage there, but at times I was called to deliver a pizza. If I didn't get a tip that didn't bother me since I'm being paid to go deliver the pizza already. At resturaunts it is probably different, but I'd still stand by the 15-20% thing if they did an acceptable or good job.

    you have both proven that servers just want extra money because they think they deserve it for absolutely no justifiable reason.

    if every other profession in the world could not endeavor to do a quality job without expecting an extra pat on the head for having done so, every economy in the world would collapse.

    YOU EITHER DO YOUR JOB FOR THE WAGE YOU'RE OFFERED OR YOU FIND ANOTHER FUCKING JOB

    I will never tip another self entitled douche who expects 20% of my bill for doing the job they're already getting paid for. fuck that.

    why should the paying system of the food industry be different from any other service industry? do you expect to have to tip your mechanic? if you worked as a janitor, would you expect to get tipped for cleaning up a bunch of puke? NO

    so why should food service be any different?

    I work 30 hours a week in a sandwich shop in a college town. The shtick of this shop is that it closes at 4am. College students, drunk off their asses, come in late at night and fumble with orders and generally harass the employees.
    I typically leave the shop at 5am, since I have to clean the area of food, dirt, and vomit. I earn minimum wage, and a substantial portion of my paycheck goes towards rent and tuition fees. When I get handed my share from the tip jar, I feel slightly comforted. I usually take the $1-$6 tip I receive and treat myself to Ben & Jerry's or junk food [which is outside my food budget].

    Work in the food service industry is harsh. By giving your waiter/waitress a tip, you are making another human being's day a little better. It has nothing to do with capitalism or business ethics. What you are doing is showing basic empathy and kindness.

    by your logic, you should tip accountants, janitors, school teachers, grocery store clerks, farmers, movie theater employees, fast food workers, and anybody else whose job is 'harsh' and/or minimum wage.

    I just don't see the logic in it
    I do however see the logic in servers getting paid more than minimum wage. that is something I would advocate for.

    Because it keeps the cost of the food itself down for the customer and allows them to tip each server based on performance rather than paying a mandatory service charge or just a flat out increase in the cost of the food.

    but if servers got paid more, people wouldn't hire shitty servers, and the ones that kept their jobs would deserve the wage they got. if they didn't perform their job well, the establishment wouldn't get as many customers, and eventually that server would probably be fired.

    this is how every other job works.

    Let's try this again...

    If servers get paid minimum wage you will effectively triple the labor cost of every restaurant in the country while simultaneously decreasing the actual pay of the server.

    This cost will be passed on to the customer in the form of increased menu prices or a flat service charge who will then be forced to pay regardless of the quality of service.

    That's three times.

    10-15 dollars for Chicago

    it was a pretty hack comparison . You didn't even define what you meant by "moderatley". In birmingham if you paid £15 for an entree the resteraunt would be a bit above "moderate" on account of birmingham being poor as shit. The only place in the uk where £15 would be regarded as "moderate" is in certain parts of the south east of england.

    unless you have a special meaning for "moderate" which you should have stated at the outset... like maybe you meant to say "expensive"

    I would consider myself a career waitress/bartender. I really only do it because I like to, not because I have to.

    I am really good at my job, and pretty cute, too.
    People like me, and they tip me a lot.

    A waitress around here(midwest USA) makes about $4 and hour before tips. As the head bartender(the top service position at my establishment) I was making $6 an hour. Minimum wage is $7.50, and that's not really enough to pay the rent. I would never work for that little; it's not worth my time. Most of the people I've ever dealt with understand this. My regular customer typically leave me 20% or more, and they leave happy in doing so.

    There is no shame in being a career waiter as long as you're good at your job and people like you.
