What's Up With White People Working Service Jobs?
A few days ago, me and my homies went out to eat. We decided on this on this upper class joint under the assumption that we should expect a good meal and good service; but these expectations must have been too much.
To start this horrible experience, we were greeted by this absolutely filthy looking white man. I mean this guy looked like death had warmed over. He was the illustration of neglect for personal hygiene (pungent body odor, dirty finger nails, and breath you could smell from a distance). Trust me, me and my friends aren't huge restaurant critics or anything; and we probably could have just ignored this guy's filth (dipping our silverware in boiling water or just resorting to plastic forks)... However, this man had a terrible personality and attitude. Frankly, I think he was racist. We received off putting/demeaning looks the entire time we were sitting at the table. This really just ruined the meal for us. To make a long story short, we left the asshole a 5% tip (hoping he'd buy some soap and tooth paste); and we'll never be eating there again. |

why tip at all...
use the 3 strike principle... 20% if everything is perfect -10% if waiter is rude, service is slow, etc... -10% if the food is terrible, service is terrible, waiter is ungroomed, etc... all you are doing by leaving 5% is conditioning him to think that that type of presentation is acceptable...

Exactly, it should be up to the owner of the restaurant to pay their employees enough to want to come to work and then they can pass that on to me in great, sincere service instead of mediocre service in hopes of pittance from the guy who already paid to eat there. I don't tip the guys at In-N-Out even though I get fucking great service and a product I go out of my way for, I don't have to, day one starts @ $10 an hour to take out the trash. He knows what is buttering his bread and knows why so he makes sure to keep it going. But I digress...

20 % if everything is perfect, without fail.
If the food is terrible I'll let the manager/cook/chef know it's not worth paying for at all.

I have often asked to see the cook and tipped them directly if the service was terrible but the food was good...I want those responsible to be rewarded for their excellent service and those not responsible to understand exactly why i did not tip...

I tip pretty generously if I can afford it and it is deserved. especially agree with what Grieves said about tipping the cooks because that happened to me many times when I worked at a restaurant because even though I might not have been as fast as the other cooks I took time to make it good and they knew this and would actually request me to make their food for them. servers would too.
my theory was always simple. just use the golden rule man, make someone else's food the same way you'd make your own.
