I tip well too because I appreciate good service...

Automatic Gratuities are put on bills here with a party of 6 or more usually... Don't know their policy there.

I got a little ticked at a restaurant on the coast when we had 6 people and 3 of them were children under 10

I didn't pay it but I tipped my waitress nicely for her trouble

Yo like da tip of his dick??? no homo tho

They should charge MORE for kids because they make terrible messes.

Don't get me started on people that take their kids to restaurants and don't clean up after themselves.

Bullshit, if you don't want kids in your place have the balls to put it on the front door...

Problem Solved

I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's ****ed up. That ain't my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government ****s in the ass on a regular basis. Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball. And as for this non-college bullshit I got two words for that: learn to ****in' type, 'cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big ****in' surprise.

I most certainly would.

I was under the impression they were at a nice steakhouse, where a $700 tab is 5-6 people. If it's a party of 12 or more that is different.

Room Service auto gratuities are for 1 or 2 people which is a rack of shit.

If you decide to do a good job then I decide to give a tip. You guys are doing OK. If you weren't getting tips then either the restaurant would actually pay you OR people would stop being waiters.

Automatic gratuities are wrong because you reward some people that suck at their job...

If you can't afford to leave a decent tip to someone who does you a good job then you shouldn't be eating out in my opinion...

When you do tip good the wait staff remembers you... You drinks seem a bit stronger and your food is hotter, sometimes the steak looks bigger..

Being nice pays off in the long run...

You would go under soon once the twitter and facebookers were on your ass like a bees on a rotten apple too.

Screaming kids I agree, Kids that spill their drinks I don't ,that's your job... Deal with it.

Don't get a job dealing with the public if you can't handle the public.

And, I completely agree with that assertion, my aggravation arises from impatient individuals who seem to forget that I'm serving fifteen-thirty other customers. I once had a man grab me by the elbow (on a BUSY night, I believe it was during the Arkansas-KSU game,) to tell me he was going to storm out of the restaurant if he didn't receive his food in the next minute. (He apparently had plans to see a movie.) And, unfortunately, I encounter these individuals all too often while working as a server. While it seems simplistic on the service, (that's actually why I applied for the job.) it's actually quite a demanding and draining line of work.

However, for all of its drawbacks, overall, I've found the job to be incredibly rewarding. For every unreasonable customer, there are at least five others who definitely make the job worthwhile. I have now spent over a year serving at Village Inn and Applebees, and I plan to work at the latter throughout my time at the University of Kansas.

Moneywise, I cannot complain either, I make more in a day at Applebees than I did over an entire week at Little Caesars. (Now that job was truly horrendous.)

I don't have a job that deals with the public.

For what it's worth, I rarely have bad waiters. If it's obviously busy I don't get mad. Hell, even if I get the wrong food I don't have a problem...just as long as some effort is made to fix it. The only times I've not tipped are when the waiter is rude or when I'm getting ignored and I can see them off talking and laughing with their waiter friends. I also tip attractive females less.

For the most part, yes. But some can and do bar kids. Somebody posted one of those on here a while back, can't remember the name of the place now.
