I used to work in food service for 9 1/2 years, it ain't easy takin' peoples iShh all day, but that's the nature of the industry.

Tips is actually an acronym for To Insure Proper Service.... see back in the day when going out to eat, customers would pay the tip before the meal. Now this seems appropriate to me, how about you? From a service standpoint, are you going to be more attentive to the guy w/ his date who slips you $100, or the family of 9 w/ gramma, and 4 screamin' kids who give you $11, simple math, simple concept. I think we should go back to that, then from the get you know what kind of service to expect...

Me, I'm an across the board 15% tipper for sub-par to adequit service, 20% for good to excellent, and 10% to a rude muthaf**ka, that's just me though...

I haven't had loot to go out to eat in a while, but that's my general rule of thumb...

Werd. I was a longtime waiter. We make ALL our money on tips. Almost ALL restaurants pay waiters minimum wage.

FYI.

JUST DO WHAT I DO WHEN YOU HAVE BAD SERVICE....LEAVE 1 PENNY AND A PIECE OF JUICY FRUIT GUM....THAT SENDS THE MESSAGE TO THE SERVER THAT THEIR SERVICE WAS SHITTY....LEAVING NO TIP AT ALL DOESNT GET THE POINT ACROSS....IVE HEAD SOME FRIENDS THAT SERVE SAY WHEN THEY GET NO TIP SOMETIMES THEY THINK ITS BECAUSE THE BUSBOY SWIPED IT AND ARE CLUELESS THAT PEOPLE ARE UPSET....

but the key is to chew the gum up first and put it on top of the penny...make em work for it.

i always liked leaving one dollar just left in the food (covered in it actually) or like .50 in the bottom of the drink....

or before you leave order a water....tell them it tastes funny....make em bring another....go through this twice...with the last glass, stick a one dollar bill all the way down in the bottom and under the ice and leave...

One of my exes worked for a couple places down here where they pay you like $2.50 an hour. So without the tips, she wouldn't make shit.

She trained me to be a good tipper though. If I get bad service, I'll give the restaurant/bar a second chance. If it still sucks, I never go back.
