[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I am not entitled to a tip. I tip 15% more or less under the same criteria, however I'm talking about the people that, despite me being ultra-friendly:

a) Give you a hard time from the start with their bratty family of 4 kids throwing food all over the table, leaving a gargantuan mess, and asking for copious amounts of food to later be wasted and uneaten.

b) Super nice to you from start to end; too suspiciously extra nice. Usually ladies over 40 that do this and tip around $2-$4 despite how large their bill is.

c) Have lived in America their whole life and still suck at tipping because they just never caught on! [/quote]

I despise servers like you who give me horrible service because I'm over 40. The service is even worse if I'm with my teen kids. I'm a generous tipper but give me bad service and you might get $1.[/quote]

Why do you think you’re entitled to (give or take) an hour of someone’s time for $1? [/quote]

You aren't taking someone's time.  They are there for a  job.  Their job is service.  If the service is bad, don't expect a good tip.  $1 is obnoxious, but if its a $10 meal, its 10% which is perfectly fine.

A good server comes quickly to take an order.  A good server brings drinks right away and makes sure you have silverware and extra napkins.  A good server comes to tell you your food is coming out if its taking a long time.  A good server gets the order right and puts it properly into the computer.  A good server comes back to make sure your meal is correct, see if you need drink refills or anything else.

If you just take the order, a runner brings out food, no drink refllls and I have to hunt you down to pay, why do you deserve a large tip?[/quote]

OP here. I agree with everything you've said, as a server. If that's the case for that particular restaurant you're at, then that makes sense. Me on the other hand here am working at an upscale restaurant in a business district that hires servers expected to do all tasks mentioned above, so it would make sense to tip more for what I'm laboring at versus someone just taking orders and refilling drinks.
