I had a conversation with this about three friends. It's pretty much 100% true that Black people don't tip. I on the other hand, do. It's only good maners. Who the doesn't tip? I mean seriously. If your the biggest bunghole the world has ever seen, then sure. Be a heel - don't tip. But if you really care about somebody servicing you and basically being your slave for a drink and a meal, then do whats right and tip.Its their job though, thats what they get paid to do. Yes, but when I was in Florida in 2008 we left an irish bar without tipping. Minutes later a waitress ran out and informed us it was pretty much how any of them make their money as they get paid such a low-rate.

I always absolutely Tip and usually I tip well too. The only time I don't really tip is if I'm in a place like Quiznos and they have the cup I'll put my change in there. But if I get food delivered or go out to eat, absolutely. I always try to tip good. The original poster comes across as a real dick by reading his past two posts

The way my server looks is very important. I dont want to be served by someone who looks dirty or is smelly. If you can not take care of yourself, why am I supposed to trust you with my meal?
To the fellow who commented on me wanting steak sauce.
Im the kind of person who wants the extras. That might be a great tasting steak but its going to taste even better if I sprinkle some salt/pepper on it first and then put some A1 or Salsa (depending on the restaurant/cut of beef) So G.D. right I expect you to bring me A1 with my steak. That should be a no brainer. It's like do I also have to ask for a knife and fork? I mean if according to you its cook to perfection wouldnt the meat just melt off on its own? Making it fine for me to use my hands?
I see it like this, if im paying top dollar for a meal I expect top service to go with my meal. My waiter had better be on top of there game. Im the kind of person who goes by this; If you're going to do something, do it right or else dont do it at all. Give 110% effort into doing a good job. That's just the way I am. I strive to do my job to the best of my abilitys and I expect the same of everyone.
I also forgot to mention this earlier in the O.P.
When I tip I calculate how much my tip is by adding the meal and drink. And then I take what ever 10 to 15 % of that is. So for example if my meal and drink total to 10 dollars but with tax it comes out to 11 dollars, I only tip on the 10 dollars. I refuse to add taxes into the tip.

What kind of ing bunghole doesn't tip? Unless it's TERRIBLE service, I leave a generous tip every time I go anywhere. Usually between 18-25%, depending on if I'm paying with cash or credit. This. I notice most young people are cheap asses when it comes to tipping. If you don't want to tip go to a fast food restaurant.

Well I have so little money and such tastes I'd rather have my mom cook or go to a fast food place or pizza hut. In the event its that 1 or 2 times a year I get a pizza delivered I usually tip $3-7 dollars. So 10-20% usually.

Absolutely. I'm not particularly picky about how I go about, though. I usually just determine a fair percentage and go with that. I don't really go out that often, and when I do, I don't spend a ton of money, so my tips are never that high.
My bills are typically under $20 if I'm just paying for myself, so my tip usually ranges somewhere between $2 and $4.
The only time I've felt uncomfortable about giving a tip happened just recently, actually. We have a well-established family restaurant that is famous for its chicken baskets in the area. Recently, they just opened up a mini location in my hometown and they function as a drive through only. I used a card, and on the receipt was a spot for a tip. Bear in mind, it's simply a drive through, no more personal than a McDonalds or any other chain. I usually give an extra dollar or so, simply because it's a locally owned restaurant, but I find it to be a little absurd.

I usually double the tax which I think is like 15%.
If I get really good service I may go to 20% and on the very rare chance it is pretty bad I'll go down to 10%.

I always tip, and fancy myself a good tipper. Never less than 30%. I used to work for tips, serving people probably isn't their first choice, ergo I feel that they deserve a little extra. Waiters/waitresses also usually make below minimum and have to pool their tips. I am not the nicest guy when it comes to many things, but this is one area in which I feel that I am better than most, especially considering that I am pretty poor myself. Of course, I remembered the regulars who didn't tip no matter how good my service was, and I certainly wouldn't want what I did to the food of people who didn't tip to happen to me. You will be remembered if you don't tip. To those of you who say "f#ck no, it's their job", your food has definitely been spit in or had a cigarette butt crumbled in, and you deserve it.

If they deserve it. I've had a few that didn't deserve anything at all, they were rude, acted like I was bothering them, and would only check on you once.

This is how I make a living, and if you don't tip 20 percent or more, you can go yourself.

Not gonna lie, you seem like an bunghole. You would be the guy who gets the pubic hair on your mashed potatoes, head lice on your steak, and spit in your gravy...

Tipping minimum is 18%. If top notch service means only $15 percent, then youre what we can in the biz, and a$$hole.
You seem like you go into a restaurant and care more about determining the tip then you actually do about your service and experience. If you go into a slammed bar/restaurant, and the server forgets a thing or two, dont be that guy who doesnt understand what its like. If its dead and you recieve poor service, then by all means. But servers have to tip others out at the end of the night so when youre screwing the server, you're also screwing bussers and bartenders, who may have been doing an incredible job that night.
Servers make horrible money hourly, so their main source of income is the customer.
And the self-entitled customers are the worst and can be spotted from the moment someone says hello. They sound exactly like you and i've seen first hand these people get exceptional service, but still find things to complain about. Things like not understanding that a stuffed pizza takes 45 minutes. They get exceptional service and still cant garner 18%.
Fact is, people will never appreciate dining until they work in it. Because only then do you know truley what constitutes as good or bad service. And even when things are bad, still do your part to help out the others that are getting money off that one tip you leave.
