[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]

Most people clean up after themselves and if not, its your job.

And, $2-4 may be appropriate if they don't have a large bill.  If they go out for lunch and the bill is $12 for one meal, that is appropriate.

You are not entitled to a tip.  If you want a salary, then you need to pick another job.  You work for tips.  Tips are voluntary.  [/quote]

Not at my restaurant. We do sit-down, full-service or take-out. Our dishes are always moved to bins in the back of the kitchen, so it's not like you are even allowed to clean up yourself. You are correct - tip given by the customer should be proportional to their bill size. If you don't know yet, eating at 99% of full-service sit down restaurants implies tips are part of the bill. Because technically servers aren't getting paid by the restaurant for their "table-service," you are expected to, other don't sit down at full service tables. Servers don't stand around to take tables for free lol[/quote]

Actually you do basically work for free and anything you get in terms of a tip is a bonus.  [b]A tip is not a salary/income.[/b][/quote]

I believe the IRS would disagree with you.[/quote]
