[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We get a lot of bad tippers. The way they tip has nothing to do with service they received. They even say how much they loved it and then 17-15% max. We get lots of older folks who seem to think that 15% is great, foreigners who only pay what the last line says and young people on budget. We already know who tips and who doesn't and try to give the tables away. If you don't tip, I have to use my tip from another table to pay bartender, busser and food runner.
Sunday customers are the worst.
OP, why don't you tell your friend or co-worker to tip better. [b]One day a server will tell him/her in front of everybody.[/b]
Another PP, you are probably right," no one is entitled to a tip", and you are not entitled to keep my table busy without paying for it. I don't come to your work and keep you from making money. Don't tell me that there are plenty of empty tables, those are not my tables.
People are so clueless. Best is when they come sit down and say that it's lent and they don't eat or that they are not hungry. Go sit in a bathroom even though you don't need to go. At least I can make money.[/quote]

Please, tell customers this and see how that works for you.

I prefer to pay more in taxes for an expanded social net, than having to pay a tip. If you tell me I'm not tipping enough, I will laugh at you, and perhaps tell the manager.

My wife was dining with a coworker and her coworker's trashy sister.  They were celebrating a major accomplishment of the coworker's, and my wife told the sister she would cover the meal if the sister would cover the tip.  Unbeknownst to either of them, the sister put a dollar or two in as a tip on a $80+ meal, and as they were walking out the server confronted them and publicly berated them all for the measly tip.  Not wanting to cause a scene, they left without saying anything but sent an email to the manager afterwards. The manager responded with $150 in gift certificates and an assurance that the server had been fired.  They certainly hadn't asked for any of that, but managers take it VERY seriously when you humiliate customers in public regardless of whether they deserve it or not.
