the smaller the bill, the bigger the % of tip you receive
you know, even busy restaurants don't prefer large groups for the linger factor...(on busy nights) |

but if you watch a football game for 3 hours and I refill your drink 5-10 times...you should probably tip on bill + an hourly rate in all honesty... I'll sit at BW3 for a Chiefs game and drink water and if my bill is $15 I'll usually leave $10 if I'm there for the whole game since I took an entire table out of someone's section...and even then they probably still aren't making what they deserve. We'd go to our bar, drink $15 $1 beers and eat once...have a $25 bill and our hot waitress would wait on us the whole time (5+ hours on football Sunday) and we'd all give her a $20 tip to make it worth her while. They LOVED us there. Of course, it's a townie bar and we were the only football regulars for their Sunday ticket...and lets just say by 6 PM things got a little out of control. But yeah, you should tip on time seated as well...which some people don't get. |

I remember a time when one of my buddies sold a $500 bottle of wine and was showing off to all the other servers -- the table (two top) had a $100 meal (minus the wine) and tipped $20 ![]() He learned a valuable lesson that night

It depends on the booze. If you each ordered a beer or a glass of wine, then tip 15-20% on the entire order. But, if you had $100 in food and a $300 bottle of wine (extreme case), you don't need to do 15-20% on the expensive bottle of wine. Just look at the effort involved in just bringing a bottle to the table (as opposed to taking order, bringing out food, refiling drinks, checking in periodically, etc), it doesn't make sense to tip 20% for that.

I'm a bartender and don't really enjoy the % aspect of it either, if I make you 4 frozen margaritas, while taken up time from my other bar patrons, and the total is 12 because they're on special, a $2.40 tip would not be sufficient. I don't care if it's "20 percent."
Rarely do tips get on my nerves in any aspect. I only look at tips on large bills, because it's some what exciting to see what you earned.. I am more concerned with the restaurant manners many American's do not possess. It's simple, if you follow these rules, I do not care what you tip. 1. Be polite 2. Don't downgrade me to make your self feel more proper and wealthy (I work at a higher end bar/restaurant) 3. Don't complain about how strong drinks are. It's really that simple. If people were simply like this, I wouldn't care the difference between %15 to %20. It's the people that are unbelievably rude, who don't tip, that make me hate people.

for people that want 3 beers and only want to tip on the 1st...
just open a freaking tab and tip at the end... I tab it all the time because I hate tipping only $1 and it saves me money to just tip 20-25% at the end of my tab. |

bro...4 margaritas isn't worth more than 20%
and if you think it is, then how about all of the 20% tips you get (or more) for popping open a can of beer? it all evens out...that's what most tipped employees don't understand and what irritates the **** out of me |

Seated time was my other realization. The sports bar I went to this year was ludicrously cheap. I'd get an appetizer and a meal and water and it would come to like $12. So I'd give them a $10 tip because I felt guilty for sitting there for three hours. I really want to give this restaurant some free consulting. They have no expensive menu items to bring the average bill up, and they don't serve any desserts, and they do unlimited chips and salsa if you buy it for $4. I go in there and as a non-drinker it's almost impossible for me to spend more than $15. My wife says they don't care about me because they're more interested in selling booze, but I still think they're leaving a lot of money on the table by having a poorly planned food menu.

who cares if someone is an asshole to you? Are you ever going to see that person again? That's what I never got...
If I'm ever a waiter again feel free to be a jerkoff to me...it makes me laugh more than anything. I used to crack co-workers up when they'd see someone try to be an asshole to me because I would literally let it roll of my shoulders SO MUCH that the person would get even more mad because they wouldn't understand why they didn't get some sort of reaction out of me... Who ****ing cares? |
