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

[Nickel D]

Whatevz, man...

I mean, some people don't do tips just like some people don't do gays.

[BlackHelicopters]

God gets 10% plus whatever extra I can afford each month. No need for the " pastor " to be a jerk.

Ive never worked at a restaurant, but like Ive said earlier Ive dated a LOT of waitresses...Ive never heard of someone giving up 7% or anywhere close to it, that's just insane. I dated a girl for two years that waited tables at Mélisse (one of the most expensive restaurants in the US) and she only had to give up 4% of her tips. Not calling you a liar Bump but im very curious where this restaurant you're talking about is.

EDIT: Never mind I see you already answered...never heard of that one so I cant comment on it.

now I think that YOU are the liar. But who would lie about working in restaurants? So I think as a server, you worked a local place. The place is Yardhouse, my location did almost a million dollars in sales per month. What about yours? I also managed another smaller chain and their standard was %4 every night. Maybe it's not the norm, but it's the norm in the few places I've managed. None being local, but corporate or franchised. But that business sucks and am glad to be doing something else. There is nothing like babysitting people who don't take their jobs seriously, except yardhouse, they were much more strict.

You were a manager at a restaurant that did $1M in sales PER MONTH and servers tipped out 7%?

Lolololololol

I wish I wasn't on my phone.

yes

I know hootie, most places do 30-60K per week. We did about $200-250 per week. The GM liked to brag about her $60K Saturdays.

I tip 10 - 15% depending on my cash flow situation.

I tip 20% if service is REALLY good.

Why not?

[KChiefer]

Pastor Dick is taking witnessing to a new low.

"I give God..."

More like, other people give God 10% so he can eat.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Tip extra for Hootie's "special sauce"!!!

I think mandating a tip is bullcrap. I tip 15-20% or more since I used to wait tables in college, but I don't think it's fair for a place to force it. They claim it prevents waiters from being screwed but by putting the mandate in place, it might allow the waiter to slack off on those tables knowing he's getting the 18% automatically. Counter-intuitive.

See... when you mandate the tip, it's not a tip anymore. It's simply part of the price. You eliminate the emotional bullshit each direction and are left with simple business. Waiters would still be fired for slacking off, exactly like they are now. If tips are the sole motivation for a waiter not acting like a lazy douchebag, then the waiter isn't going to be employed very long anyway.

Dude, if someone stiffs you on a $30 bill, no biggie, you may get pissed, but you'll live. Getting stiffed on a $300 bill will make many contemplate murder.

I've been a General Manager that deals with drivers and let me tell you, regardless of if the tip is included or not, they still slack off if not given the proper management. That point is essentially pointless, my drivers, some of the best I had, would take orders to houses that had a $2 tip already on them after the blank tipped orders just in case getting that pizza there faster would give them a greater tip than $2. Hell when I drove I did it.

I would also find it so hilarious when people would start their sentences with, "Well I waited tables/delivered pizzas/worked in the restaurant industry so I know that blah blah blah." More times than not, they're speaking to a relation to your situation and not basing their argument off of factual knowledge. If some jackass tips my driver or me with a $2 tip, you think I give a shit if you waited tables or delivered pizzas. Because it obviously didn't teach you jack shit.

Plus let's call a tip what it is, Gratuity. Now if someone gives you a $2 tip on a $30+ order, they are basically saying my limit for gratuity to you getting my pizza here on time is worth $2, which is setting the bar exceptionally low. Why try to please a customer that has little to no respect in offering extra gratuity if I get the pizza there before the time we quoted? Because they pay our paycheck? Leave that bullshit to the restaurant, it has no effect on the driver what so ever and you really expect a 19 year old to think more of the situation?

In closing, its funny to see posts like this and see the insane amount of people that defend themselves with stating they tip 15-20% every time. There's two ways this ends, either the restaurants I worked in over my 12 years in the industry were some of the unluckiest restaurants to get a tip and I hardly ever got a customer as great as you.... or many of you are lying your asses off and saving face. You can say this situation is shitty and the guy is a douche, but don't lie and say that shit when I know if your girlfriend/wife/friend you hang out with all the time saw you post that shit they'd laugh their ass off.

Pizza drivers get their job so they can drive around and get high while being paid for it. You should know that if you manage them. Serving is a bit of a different animal. In Branson there are a ton of older, professional, servers. They don't need that "management" and their managers love them for it.

Other than that, your post is spot the **** on.

My wife would confirm my tips you jackass. Hell, she gets upset when I tip 20%.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I doubt the wait staff would like that at all, lol.
