News Pastor refuses to tip "I give GOD 10% why do you get 18%" - Page 18

Hootie · 01-30-2013, 03:21 PM

As a waiter I didn't like when customers told management I was doing a good job...it was always a nice gesture but believe, management doesn't give a **** and they already know who's good and who sucks on their staff...

That story about calling out the table of liars is an exception, though...That's cool as hell.

Sometimes I did shit for people that no one else would ever do and I'd think to myself..."if they only knew..."

In a good way, assholes.

I'm catholic and yes for a party like that you should give tips.

The ironic thing is that he gives the church 10% of his income which, in turn, is used to pay his wages.

If he's as big a doucher as it is suggested, he probably should hold on to that because I'm sure his offering plate isn't exactly overflowing.

First off, let me say I have no problem with tipping. I dont fall into the stereotypical black man that doesnt tip category...I tip well. But I'm tired of hearing about waiters and waitresses not making shit. Ive dated several waitresses in my day and all of them made more money than me with no education than I do with a college degree. And they ALL cheated on their taxes by only reporting about half.

oldman · 01-30-2013, 04:53 PM

My tips are between 18-30%, depending on the service. There are times when I didn't think the server was worth the 18%, but I put my money down anyway. Most of those folks depend on tips and, in many places, have to split their tips with the busmen, cooks, and bartender.
But I guess what chaps my cheeks more than anything else is the 2-pronged holier than thou approach of the patron. First of all, I don't give a damn that you give your God 10%. A lot of people do that and don't have to toot their horn about it. Secondly, why did he have to sign his name "Pastor"? Did he expect that to give him a pass on tipping? That term, at least in my mind, brings up an image of some Bible-thumping redneck that went to Bob Jones U or some equally repressed institution. The term "pastor" is normally used by a parishoner to describe his or her spritual leader. It's not a term you bestow on yourself. I gotta tell you, if this was my pastor and I saw that kind of rudeness, I'd be looking for another church before I left the table.

Agreed. 100%

The complaining waiter/waitress is a sham.

Servers only make about 2/3 of the tips they do get too. The money starts with the Servers and filters down to the bus boys.

Depending on the restaurant and the tip out policies, some restaurants make you tip out the bar based on 3% of sales and expo's and bus boys get 2% of sales. Or more at some places and some places don't pay hosts either and they are compensated by the servers too.

So if a server makes $200 in tips on $1000 in sales.

3% to bar = $30
2% to expos = $20
2% to bussers = $20

then the server goes home with $130.

It depends on the company though, the tip out structures might be a little more or less at other places but that's about the norm.

Remember when I called out bump for not being a restaurant worker earlier even though he claimed he was management?

Yeah...I was right.

NOBODY TIPS OUT 7% OF THEIR SALES AT ANY RESTAURANT.

Lmfao

When I was at Piropo's servers tipped out more then that to bar and SA's..

So maybe it depends on how nice a place you work at.. I would walk out of there with 80bucks in tips plus my hourly as a SA for 4-6 hours of work.. Servers would make 100-400 a night... So it might just be where you are at.. My tips were split between the 2 servers I helped.. Then they tipped out the bar more..

you must be confused

we're talking about percentage of sales, not percentage of your tips

no way any server in the service industry would tip out 7% on their sales. That's completely insane.

Hootie · 01-30-2013, 05:07 PM

7% is the norm!??! When flop said 3.5% I was like damn...that's .5% higher than I've seen...2-3% is the norm...7% exists nowhere you ****ing liar.

mr. tegu · 01-30-2013, 05:08 PM

Would servers really want to not go by the tipping system? Seems like they might make a lot more than their minimum wage and educational level counterparts.

I really don't know though as that is not an area I have any experience in, either directly or indirectly.

Hootie · 01-30-2013, 05:14 PM

Waiters are bitches who can't do math. I worked at Dave and Busters when I was 25 60 hours a week for an entire year while writing down what I made every shift, plus counting bar wage, event gratuity, vacation and overtime and I made over $60,000 pre tax and only paid taxes on $38,000 (sorry Rain Man) since I only claimed credit card tips. I worked my ass off and worked every Saturday from 1030 AM to 3 AM with no break BY DESIGN because I would make between $300-$500 no matter what.

Could I have done that for 10 years? No. I was in great shape and don't smoke (the #1 problem in the industry) and have a strong desire to work hard and make money...

But I worked more hours than anyone on staff and made more money than anyone but two managers and everyone knew that.

Any waiter that bitches about "making ends meet" isn't working hard enough.
