Most of the time if I'm with friends we all tip to make it 50% , but the other times I don't go on percents , I go on service.

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... ....what? Go watch the movie Waiting.

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. If your place of work takes 45 mins to make a pizza it had better be the best and biggest pizza I've ever eaten. The most I've waited for a pizza is 20 mins. At my fav pizza place, on a busy night. If you think your job as a server pays too little do not work there. I couldnt care less how much a waiter makes per hour. Your job is one of the easiest in the world. A CHEF/COOK makes a meal, all you have to do is carry it from the chef to me. What major responsibility do you have? Don't trip and spill the food on the way to the table? Chances are someone like me, truck driver, carried the food from the distributor to your restaurant. Where's my tip? See, everyone has a job. But it is very rare for you to get tips at your job. So if I decide you get 10, 13, 15 percent of a tip you had better be gratefull you got that cause not all of us get tips. And on top of that we all have jobs, you tell me what job is easy? You show me a person who doesnt have to work hard. So im supposed to feel like tipping big just because you have to work?

You do realise that these people may have real life responsibilities to consider? Maybe a terminally ill relative, maybe they are a single parent struggling to pay rent or maybe they were in a rush doing something important before work. There are plenty of reasons why a waiter/waitress may have zoned out and forgot to bring your steak sauce or maybe not combed their hair properly. Get a grip dude.

Wow after reading the orginal poster post a few times, he comes across as an extreme dick. You seem like the type of guy who helps a friend do something and waits with his hand open after the job is done. Maybe if you tip generously people will reconize you and next time you will get the better service you deserve. I have never been to a place to eat and said wow this person don't deserve crapthey just brought me the food. Most people work those jobs b/c they are struggling with their schedules, if its b/c they have kids, school, whatever the case. Lighten up pal.

Those sound more like reasons to make sure you look your best and put forth your best effort, so as to maximize your tip, not excuses to do the opposite.

Yeah you gotta be a real dick not to tip. 20% is standard for good service, more for great service.
I really get annoyed when people say "Thats there job!" I dont know if most young people know that waiters and waitresses get paid less than minimum wage. Its $2.75 an hour in RI for a waiter or waitress, they make all their money on tips.

I tip everytime I eat out. Get a delivery. Go to a place often.
And when I do tip, I throw at least $4 to the person. I was getting wings last month, my bill was 21.00, i gave her $40 total. Not rich, just have a heart and am not a dick.

I usually tip taxi drivers, restaurants and deliveries etc around £2 or £3. The least I tip is usually £1. I'll tip my balls in your mouth, how does that sound? Rather ironic that you recently called me an idiot with "well thought out posts".

10% poor service, 15% standard, 20% good, 25% great This man here has a near perfect tipping scale. Bump standard service to %18 to keep it minium, and its flawless. And Milincoln, im talking about a stuffed crust pizza (aka Deep Dish pizza) made fresh the moment you order it. No pre-made crust crap, im talking dough rolled the moment your order goes through the system. That takes at least 30 minutes to prepare to our serving standards, and its a damn good pizza. But when someone orders that in the middle of a rediculously slammed night and has the nerve to complain that it took 40 minutes just top cop a free pizza, is a Grade-A douchebag. True story. And just to outline what a servers job IMO is, with minimal busboy help, its to: Greet table, relay specials, take drink orders, process drinks, serve the drinks, take food orders, process the food, serve silverware/condiments/, serve the food, take away dishes, bring you the check, and cash you out. Not to mention periodically checking on you, bringing you refills, take out boxes and maybe even finding time to small talk to go the extra mile. Fulfilling every one of those tasks to me constitues as exceptional service. Now tack on about 4-7 more tables expecting that same service from one person. Easiest job my ass.

Are you really trying to say that if an average people gets a $21 check and they don't give the waiter/waitress $40 in total they have no heart and are a dick?! That is 90.45% which is WAY more than I'm sure any waiter/waitress was expecting from an average customer even if their service was phenomenal! It's nice you can tip 90.45% however I feel that a normal 15%-25% tip is more than justifiable for an average person to leave without being labeled heartless or as a dick.....

So if I decide you get 10, 13, 15 percent of a tip you had better be gratefull you got that cause not all of us get tips. Well due to the amazingness that is the US government, the expectation has been set that servers make less than minimum wage (around $2-3 less per hour), in most cases, than people in other jobs do. So unless you get paid less than minimum wage to drive your truck, I'd probably just go ahead and not compare yourself to someone who depends on those tips to make even a decent amount of money. On top of that, the tips that your cheap ass DOES give to waiters and waitresses get absolutely raped by taxes... You know, the same taxes that go toward paying for the federal highway system that you help tear up with your truck, that the people who are serving you probably RARELY make use of. Look, there are people who make an absolute KILLING at being a waiter or waitress. And you know what, you're probably right that they don't DESERVE what they get. But things like your local kid at Applebee's or a pizza delivery guy -- trust me, they're not making some absurd amount of money. If you spend $25 at one of those places, a 15% tip comes out to $3.75. A 10% tip is $2.50. Can you REALLY not spare the extra $1.25 to be a DECENT tipper? Seriously? $1.25 isn't crap. It's probably what, 1/20 of what you make per hour? Three minutes of your time? If all five [approx] of the tables (or deliveries) that this person does in an hour do this, the person making deliveries is actually making a moderate amount of money to do their job. $5.25 in Minnesota, for example, is the minimum wage for tipped employees. So $5.25 + $18.75 (3.75 * 5) = $24.00/hr. Then you have to consider that these poor people get murdered on taxes, so it's more like $16/hr. or so. But when cheap ass people like you tip them 10% because their hair isn't attractive to you, suddenly that number drops from the $24/hr they were making before taxes to like $17.75/hr. Then they STILL get smashed on taxes, so it's like they're making more like $11/hr. See how much of a difference you being a cheap er makes to these peoples' lives? A $5/hr. difference. And for what? So you can feel good about yourself for not giving them "too much" for what small amount you think they do? Is that seriously your life? Do you seriously have THAT low of self-esteem that you can't help other people? ...... Or you could support Ron Paul for President in 2012, who has worked to create the Tax Free Tips Act, which would remove the 1986 IRS code that made tips taxable income. If this was passed, I'd hop on your bandwagon of being a cheap ass on tips because the $17.75/hr I talked about before would be their actual income. Not the amount they get before the government's greedy little piglet hands steal their chunk. But considering the fact that borderline intellectually- disabled people like yourself who admittedly don't follow the issues whatsoever are actually allowed to vote in this godforsaken country, this act will probably never pass. Ron Paul won't be the President, you'll continue to tip like a ing bunghole, and people will continue to spit in your food. Enjoy.

I mean this in all seriousness... If the longest you've EVER waited to get a pizza delivered to you is 20 minutes, you probably shouldn't be eating those pizzas. If the pizza place that's right down the street from me told me, "Your pizza will be to your house in 15 minutes," I'd tell them to off and that I'm calling a place that's actually going to make sure my meal is cooked properly before I get it.

If you dont tip, ur a ing scumbag. they make their living on tips.....their hourly pay is usually 1/2 the state minimum. If I ever am out with people, and they don't tip, and I'm the driver (which i usually am), i'll leave whoever didnt throw in for a tip at the place we ate, and tell them to use the money they refused to add for a tip to get a taxi ride home. But seriously, the MINIMUM i'll tip is DOUBLE the tax. If the waiter/watiress is terrible, i'll tip double tax (its almost 10% here in NY). If they are great, and on top of things, i'll tip TRIPLE the tax.
