No not at all mate just that they should be paid fairly for the hard work that they do.

I agree, it is a necessary occupation and they have no control over pay, so I figure the cost of tip into my meal...I used their waiting service and i know they are being paid under minimum wage so i just compensate them, I couldn't in good conscience leave them no tip..its wrong the position the waiter or customer are put in regarding tip, but its necessary! And when someone knows they get paid shit and they don't tip
.they are dicks

I was meeting this guy for business at a small but busy french cafe, we sat for over 3 hours had nothing but coffee and the waitress kept our cups full of the finest French Roast. We asked for the bill... 4 bucks, so we both go to leave the tip, he put down a one, I put down a ten.
He says what? you're leaving that much? I said yea, he picked up his one one and said no way.
We never met after that.

I over tip every time. Why? Because I can. Nothing wrong with putting a smile on someones face. Maybe they are having a shitty day and one good tip makes up for it, you never know.

That's messed up. I have a buddy who when it's his turn to pay I always make an excuse to go back and leave a proper tip because he's a cheap bastard. Like a dollar and coins on a $40 bill, it's so embarrasing I have to make up for it. I've told him about it and he shrugs. dick.

I have a Daughter in law who works in a place in BlaBlaBla, the folks that own the place own a big assed home overlooking the local golf course.
The owner tends bar and takes a share of her tip if she gets her patrons a drink, he's a cheep fuck in my book.

I went back to work bartending/waiting tables when I lost my job a few years ago. I enjoy serving people, and talking with them about their day. There are some people you cannot make happy. I think there are a few here. Some people are horribly condescending, ask you for a straw, and when you bring it, ask for a side of wahtever, and when you come back, ask for something else, just to run you. All the while you have 6 other tables that need attention. Then, after receiving excellent service with a smile, they stiff you on the tip. No class is no class.

Trust me folks, people who work in the tip industry remember you like a MF, if you tip well, and if you tip poorly, or are rude, you will get shitty service the next time you come in, and lucky if you do not get fumunda cheese with your food.

The server isn't charging $29 for a steak that is $8.99 lb at the store, it's the restaurant. The rest of the food costs money, and so does electricity, insurance, payroll, building lease, taxes, etc. If you want your steak for $8.99 lb, go to the store, cook it yourself, wait on yourself.

The christians do seem to be the worst. There are some that leave these stupid cards about jesus dying for you, as your tip!!! C'mon back, Mr. Jesus Man. Free fumunda cheese for you next time!

^ This is why you tip. Remember no dishes, no overhead, O and a fat belly to go home with!

Tip whatever you want, your tips will surely find you out...

That's called "camping" and it's ok as long as you tip very well, because that is a table in someone's "section". In that 3 hours, they could have moved 3-5 other groups through that table and made $30+ in that same time.

wow i just looked up the rates for bc and apparently we've had the tiered minimum system since 2011..... when i quit bartending in '08 we didn't have that, everybody started at the same minimum.

i've had my ass totally SAVED by a random $50 ~ $100 tip on more than one occasion; i try to pay it forward as much as i can. my favourite is to leave a nice nugget wrapped in a $20 :)

i usually try to look for clues (hemp jewellery, blown-glass beads, etc.), but....... that's bc for ya. ;) you would be hard-pressed to find a young server who couldn't at least trade it to one of their co-workers for a better shift, or something. :lol:

(obviously the surly grandmama at the mennonite greasy spoon doesn't get the budtip.)

it's pretty magical, alright.
when you walk into a restaurant reeking of magic, half the place will start surreptitiously sniffing themselves (or wives sniffing their husbands). :lol:
