[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP props for trying but you're not going to change the behavior of stubborn a'holes on DCUM who are rude to servers or who don't tip.  There are many previous threads if you do a search.  I think actually you'll find that you can make a pretty decent living as a server or bartender if you are good at it and work your way up to a fine dining place. You will also put up with minimal bullsh*t at those places because most intelligent, accomplished people don't want to appear to be morons when they are out in public. They generally appreciate good food and good service and don't whine about paying for it.

This thread went from why are people rude to servers to why don't some people tip appropriately.  Neither topic will ever be resolved.  Both are realities in the world of serving.  As a server you have to accept this and don't let it affect how you do your job if you want to be successful.  [/quote]

Service can only be so good.  It has a fairly moderate ceiling.  Be accurate, be prompt, answer menu questions knowledgeably, that about sums it up.  Short of giving your customers the heimleich maneuver, what exactly are you expecting a tip over 20% for doing?  Just because people should feel badly for you that your hourly wage is poor? [/quote]

It's about tipping adequately. You are never obliged to tip extra if you don't feel like it.[/quote]

Tipping adequately is 15%.  Good tip is 20%.  Off the meal, not meal and tax.  Anything more is a bonus.  If you want a pure salary, get a job that pays a salary.  [/quote]

NP. Nope.  Tipping standard is 20.  Tipping well is 25. You are a cheap, old loser.[/quote]

No... I think people were extra generous during COVID, but this creeping inflationary tipping has to stop.  [/quote]

Yes, it is, and that was the standard well before Covid, cheapo.[/quote]
+1 Seriously, people. I’m 48 and have been tipping 20% for my entire tipping life. As does everyone I know at group dinners. It’s like all of OP’s customers flocked to this thread. How old are all you 15%ers?[/quote]
