The fuuck I don’t. Lol I’m a fairly direct type of person that cuts through the bs so there’s no room for interpretation.

Having about 80% of my dates/girlfriends/ex-wifes come from the service industry, either waitress or bartender - I know they claim tips as income. I also know they don't claim ALL of them as income but if a tip is on the card - then it's definitely claimed 100%.

Tipping in cash - what happens after that is between them and the .gov and the less the .gov the better.

Cash

This.

Tip in cash.
15 to 20%
10% if service was barely average.

Worst thing I hate is a fuuuking empty drink glass.
And if ya walk by repeatedly on a implied task that goes along with your job.
Well...
You want a tip about tips??
Don't work for tips if ya can't fill a glass you are pretending not to see....

Unca suga azz rapes anyone who works and gives that money to those who don't work that vote liberal socialist Democrat for free schit as a way of life.

We eat out a lot. Don't use CC's. My tips would be a good income supplement .

I worked in restaurants for three years. Get this, I was working my way through college, and not taking out government loans. Restaurants during school, and construction full time during summer.
I am a good tipper and tip in cash. On the rare occasion that service is bad, I leave a bad tip.

Always tip, minimum 15%, no limit on top. If I have the cash, I use that.

Life’s to short to be a cheap fugg…..

Just use the card usually.

That happened to me on a takeout pizza order. The gal at the register demanded a tip. I told her to round it up to the next nearest dollar.

I called ahead for pizzas and breadsticks as a treat for my crew of 25 at work. When I got to the store, the order was missing two pizzas and a box of bread sticks. I waited while they made the pizzas and was late to work. They did not include the missing bread sticks.

The gal did not hand me back a copy of the reciept. The next day I checked my checking account on the computer and saw the gal had added 15 bucks to the total as a tip.

I wrote a rather harsh email to corporate headquarters.

A couple days later, I got a very apologetic phone call from the local manager.

She assured me the cashier had been dismissed. A couple days later coupons arrived in the mail to duplicate the previous order for free.

My grandkids had a great pizza party with the coupons. I have not been back in the place. It left a sour taste in my mouth.

Cash if I have it, usually 30%

But Tipping is racist....

I try not using a card when going out to eat.
I pay cash and Tip Cash


Many years ago maybe 40 I took my Soon to be wife out to my Favorite Prime Rib place.
There was only 1 waitress working that night all of the others called in sick or did not show up.
The Place was packed and everyone was screaming at the waitress about their food.

I Thanked the waitress for her service as she was doing the best that she could being by her self.

I tipped her 300% of the bill as a thank you for what i watched her go threw that night.

She came running out of the restaurant to shake my hand and thank me.

My soon to be wife turned to me and said what was that all about.
I told her that I watched this poor Waitress getting abused and decided to thank her for her service.

Future wife just looked at me with that look.

The Waitress was 20 years older than me and the Future wife did not get what I tried to do for this poor Waitress.

I try and Tip 15--20% and If i get real good service and have the funds I can go as high as about 30%.
But it had better be very good service.

Bad service gets 10%
and horrible service. lets just say they know what i thought about their service.

We tip in cash too. I always figured that they combine all the tips to make it fare! [bleep] that if my waitress did an excellent job she gets a good tip. A Shiity job a shiiity tip!

I was at a bar one night on a company gig, so the boss asked me to put a tab on my company card.

It wasn't alot, maybe $600 all told but I was in no condition to do math so when the time came to close out the tab, I gave the waitress a $50 tip which in my state I thought was pretty decent. Easy math.

On the way out the door the manager tracked me down and asked if there was a problem with the service because I gave such a crappy tip. I told her to tell me what a fair tip was. I was embarrassed that I did it, but in my head, I thought $50 was pretty good for slinging drinks for a couple of hours.I don't remember what I ended up giving her. I'm sure it was probably 20%.- whatever number the manager came up with that I thought was reasonable.

That was the first and only time anyone tracked me down for being a schitty tiipper.

With tips.

I like to base our tip on the meal and beverages that we ordered. We tip between 18% and 25% and some times more.

We have been starting to see where suggested tip amounts are based to include tax. So the suggested tip amount is based including the 8% to 10% state taxes.

Most individuals do not look to see if the tax is figured into the suggested tip amount.

Just watch, that they don't include a tip in the bill.

I forgot that some places include the tip in the bill for the table if you have 6 or more. Depending on the number the included tip amount starts at 20% to 25%.

However, the tip slot is still open for additional tip to be included.

Then there was the time she slammed the chili down so hard, it splashed in my coffee, yes, i tipped, I was afraid not to.

My lower limit is zero. I’ve had, but rarely, very poor service. They get zero. For normal to good service, 15-50%.
I worked as a bus boy through college. I got a portion of the waiter/waitress tips.
One memorable moment, there was an older black gentleman eating alone where I worked. I cleared his table and he asked me to buy him a cigar at the front desk. (This was 1972). He have me a $5 for the cigar which cost a dollar or so. And he told me to keep the change.
After he left, the bartender asked me if I knew who that was, I didn’t know.
It was Jessie Owens.

I did a few zeroes at Golden Corral

all you gotta do is fill my drink.

If youre slow or stupid, busy, forgetful- I recognize that and have them just set me down the whole pitcher of tea. Or being me two at a time.

If youre a stupid slow kgunt….and I have to get into the ‘nurse’s station’ myself and top my own glass off- youre gettin zero and possibly some hurt feelins
