[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t penny pinch on restaurant workers. I tip in thr total amount. I couldn’t tell you the last time I looked at the Tex line item. It’s irrelevant. I just take the total bill, figure out what 10% is and double it. Done. It I can’t afford an extra $5 then maybe I should be cooking hamburger helper at home. [/quote]

Exactly!  What's hard about this?  I really am saddened to learn there are so many cheap, nasty people who think it's their right to reinvent the restaurant industry by withholding a bit of cash from service workers.  I really don't understand why they even go to restaurants since they so strongly disagree with the system.  Just to punish people, I guess.

I'm not just referring to tipping on tax but to all these anti-tipping threads.[/quote]

I only tip 5-10% at D.C. restaurants because there is [b]already[/b] a 10% tax included. For any restaurant adding an additional service charge, I leave no tip at all and – usually – I’ll also complain about a dish or two until the manager removes them from the bill. I mean, 10% tax + 18% SC is [b]way[/b] more than the customary 15%. The greed in D.C. is unconscionable so I have no qualms about getting comped for a few appetizers or drinks. The entire system needs an overhaul. Restaurant workers aren’t the critical pillars of society they make themselves out to be. They’re mostly peripheral and disposable people that otherwise add no value to society. [/quote]

I know you’re not a believer in tips, but I’ll give you one anyway. Stay the hell away from my restaurant…or I’ll slice and dice your cheap a$$ into dog food. [/quote]
