Guest web_norah Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 i am not a waitress, nor a bartender ...never said i was an expert, unlike you "mr know it all"it is called COMMON SENSE/ COURTESY/ ETCi tip 99.9 % of times, you have to treat me like crap for me not to leave a tip, you know why? because a lot of service people live from making tips and as a human, i dont have the lack of decency to do that to someone. you on the other hand, complain over $5 ?

Guest Devilicious Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 I leave a dollar per beer. A mixed drink like kettle tonic I'll leave $2.If I have comps tix's I'll leave $3.If I know the bartender and they're hooking me up, I'll be generous.call me cheap, I guess food I leave 20% min. bad service 10% and a fuck u j.kThis is pretty much the standard by which all people SHOULD tip.Mursa has it right also.I've worked all angles of bars/restaurants/clubs. As such, I tend to be less forgiving of rude people, and more forgiving of those who appear slammed and are doing their best. Some people don't deserve your dollar. Some deserve a lot more. I'd like to see the naysayers step behind a busy bar and have 2495874 people screaming for your attention for a solid 5 hours. One of the most humorous things about being a bartender is watching those assholes who don't tip stand at the bar while we all completely ignore them. Sick gratification, I know, but it is none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mursa Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 To ensure prompt service .........your right but what occurs when your being Slammed (as a waitter) and can't refill someones drink order in 2 minutes , but rather do it in 5 minutes ...sometimes greeting tables that just arrived , placing the entree orders into the computer take priority into refilling someones coors light...you as a customer also have to take those things into consideration on when evaluating someones Service Efficiency .

Guest Electric Eel Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Pay Attention people... T.I.P.ToInsurePromptness...try again http://www.wordorigins.org/wordort.htmThe popular explanation of the origin of tip, meaning a gratuity, is that it is an acronym meaning "to insure promptness." This is incorrect.Tip is underworld cant meaning to pass on, to hand to, especially to pass on a small sum of money. It dates to at least 1610. The verb meaning to give a gratuity dates to about a century later, and the noun dates to at least 1755. And as we've seen many times in these pages, there are no pre-20th century acronymic word origins.http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/english/ti/tip.htmlA folk etymology for tip states it is an acronym that stands for "to insure promptness". However, the Oxford English Dictionary states that is is derived from the English thieves' slang word tip, meaning "to pass from one to another". The notion of a stock tip or racing tip is from the same slang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
