There is no law or written rule saying "Tips are Manditory". Don't get me wrong I do leave a tip, but only when I feel I've received good service. That's the way it used to be, and that's the way it will stay. Until I see a law or rule; then a tip will be left when I see fit. If a law or rule does exist; I will no longer eat at an establishment that requires tips. Than it will be Micky D's, BK, B-Bops..etc for this patron! you're a cheap then basically? While his attitude is a bit rough I do agree that tips should not be mandatory. I always leave something, but the better the service, the better the tip. It just makes sense. There are variable factors, which I discussed earlier that also affect how I tip. But onto the point of this post. I've noticed that in other countries where tipping became mandatory, service quality dropped. People are not going to care about the job as much if there isn't incentive to. Tipping is a good thing, but you make it mandatory and you take away the reason it exists.

What makes you think I'm cheap?!? I tip; when I feel it's deserved! I do end up tipping more than not, but it's still my discretion!

I tip 20%, I don't care if they came to my table only once. I still give them 20%. Now if they are a better waiter/waitress then they'll get more then 20%.

Here is the definition of TIP - –noun 1. a small present of money given directly to someone for performing a service or menial task; gratuity: He gave the waiter a dollar as a tip. If a tip expected they think they don't have to work as hard to please the patron.

Not really effecting her ability to serve you, but goddamn - that sure makes her below your ass, huh? -A family of five, no wait, it's a freaking HISPANIC FAMILY OF FIVE (because race needs to be pointed out, huh?) get's seated and has their drinks brought to them first. Not because you guys ordered weirdo drinks that had to be made, but merely because of their race, right? Because you know, that's how it seems eluded to, to me. -You then notice that the HISPANIC family get's their food first, brought out by a runner and not your '50ish year old hag" as you so eloquently (read: douche bag) put it. -You weren't satisfied with the meal. Not your waitresses fault at all, it was the person who prepared the meal that fell short, but what the ? Let's take it out on someone who wrote down what your ungrateful ass wanted. -Then you proceed to bad mouth the HISPANIC family again, and call the waitress a hag. You're a ing prick. I don't know how old you are, but your mother should have put the fire of God in your ass when you were a kid.

Evidently you don't if you think people should always leave a tip no matter what!

I don't know about all of that. I doubt my head would fit up my ass, but you sure are comfortable having your's as far up your own ass as possible. Breathe a little harder, with any luck at all the stench of your own bull**** will rid the world of you. Awesome way to reply back to me Lurch, you sure put a hell of a lot of thought into that rebuttal.

So, using your english skills, AdamBomb has the biggest "bunghole" of anyone? Okay. I agree with AdamBomb though. The waitress didn't cook you and the HISPANIC family of five's food and decide to give them their's first and screw up your food. Complain to the Manager about the food and try to get a refund or something, but tip the waitress who took your order and served you the food you ordered.

To the servers/former servers on here, you will appreciate this. I used to work for a guy who would tell the bad tippers, "If you're not going to take care of my servers, you're not welcome here."
Greatest boss ever.
Some people get it, some people don't.
Like I said before, I'm so glad I don't wait tables or bartend anymore. I hate dealing with people who don't get it. One of the most frustrating things ever.

usually a lot of places require tip these days. Some are even on the receipt and added to the total of your check.
