If they are crispy on the outside I will eat them

I don't like East Coast Wings either

Maybe it was someone who noticed the server was a single mom and was sympathizing with the her. Single Mom, Sorry. "I noticed you are a single mom and am sorry. I really feel for you". The sympathy and compassion WAS the tip. Some things you just can't put a price on.

WINGSTOP is about 85-95 miles from me :(

If you're hungry, you will travel.

that does it....not eating out any more

This is a local joint that has the best wings I ever ate and I have ate a bunch.

Yep, the crispy. They have sauced and dry spiced flavors. Cajun spice is good, lemon pepper is unreal.

But the Atomic are my favorites, simply because I'm the only person I know that can finish a serving.

10/1 this turns out to be some kind of hoax. If not, single mother needs to stick to Mickey D's if she can't bend the wallet for a tip.

As some on here, I tip to service. I have left up to a 100% tip is the service was outstanding. I have also left ZERO a few times if the server was a complete **** up.
My base tip starts at 20-25% "for average" and it doesn't take much to increase that from me and it takes a lot to knock it down. You really have to be a complete window licker to get less than 20%, but it can be done. If I'm sitting at the bar eating and my beer runs dry and I'm waiting around for 15 minutes when you're not busy and bullshitting with other workers, guess what, you're ****ed.

my wife always orders her wings plain with whatever flavor sauce on the side and dips the wings in the sauce. they come nice and crispy that way.
she's a smart 'un!

hahaha!
word of advice.....NEVER watch the movie WAITING....or you very well may never eat out again.....for REAL! ROFL

Sounds good, I like them hot but not Habenaro(sp?) hot
There ya go, sounds like a keeper

Wow. $15 on $140? You must ****ing suck to serve.

lol, I've been a GM at a restaurant a few years ago and I would fire any "good" manager that would do such a thing. That's called stealing.

The Goat!!!

Actually, the Atomic sauce uses both Habanero and Thai chiles (some people call the ghost peppers), so it is slightly hotter than a pure Habanero sauce.

You have no clue. In MO they make 3.13 an hour and in some cases pay tipshare on top of that. When I was waiting I paid 3.5% of my total sales so restaurants could justify paying host 4.50 an hour. My tip money went to them. So in this case, I would've had to pay about 5.50 to wait on their asses. Frequently my hourly would be less than my tipshare for the day. So in essence, I paid to pick up those tables. Total bullshit...

Perkins' service is god awful

It's SLIGHTLY hotter than pure Habanero paste because it only contains a small amount of the Thai pepper extract. Of course if the Jolokia content was higher, it would get much, much hotter proportionally. I think he told me that corporate says it hits somewhere in the 500K range on Scovilles.

By the way, I have a bottle of this in my cabinet. I haven't tasted yet, I don't want to break the cool-ass seal.

Makes me hurt just looking at it

I remember that and I think, but not sure, that Donald Stephenson ****ed something up or one of the o-lineman.

I think I have an idea about why she's single.

The Bat Wing!

"it's so veiny" ROFL

Hope her pussy rusts shut!!

A bit of friendly advice: When you open it DO NOT touch your finger to the stopper and place it on directly to your tongue thinking, "This can't be as hot as they say it is". You will be mistaken.
I like to eat "hot", but I put three drops of that in a bowl of chili and it's more than enough.

You shouldn't have to tip. I dont have a problem with it.

Yes. I'm generally a good tipper. I usually do 20% as long as no one does anything to irritate me, but the accepted standard is 20% for good service, 15% for average service, and 10% for poor service.

You do realize that if nobody tipped, the cost of your meal would go up right?

Once they know you and know you leave a good tip, you usually get treated a bit more special...

Probably. Im fine with that. Tipping is. Stupid. Do your job...get paid foe your job. Make restaurants pay thier staff more than 3.19 an hr. Its bullshit. Ive been a waiter before...I must say though I made way more money than I deserved.

Eh, I like it. It links performance directly with pay. I'd hate to have a stellar waiter get paid the same as someone who is consistently an ass to his customers.

If you can't afford a tip on a meal, you probably shouldn't be buying that meal to begin with.

I tip generously when the service merits it. If you're a shit waitress/waiter and I have to wait for a drink....you're getting 5%

then don't go to restaurants where they pay servers $2-3 per hour. That's the only way to stop it, not by stiffing the servers.

Totally shi***. I think one thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet, but in most places like one I served at a few years ago the waiters have to tip out other team members based on a percentage of your sales. If this exact same scenario happened at a place I used to work at the server would have just paid 6 dollars to wait on that "single mother" because that is what cut of the tip the host, bartender, and kitchen would have received on that $140 bill alone. Even though that tip says zero, at the place I used to work at the server would have actually made negative 6 dollars on that table because that's how much the waiter would have had to tip out team members on that tab alone. In general it usually evens out by the end of the night because you have a few really good tips and a few really bad ones with everything else falling in the middle, but it doesn't always work out that way. If you don't leave a tip, the server technically paid to wait on you at my old job.

yup. At the restaurant I worked at, the servers tip out bussers, bar and expo's. The standard was 10% to bussers, 10% to expo, 15% to bar. Based on what they made for the night. That's pretty typical for a restaurant actually. It's pretty fascist shit if you ask me. The company gets all of this money for sales and pays more than half of their staff $2/hr. That means they are very very expendable and I had to fire so many people for little things because it was corporate hell. Very successful business, the company founder is extremely rich. Extremely.

I agree you're not obligated to tip anyone. The "obligation" isn't really what I'm talking about here.

It's the fact that this woman didn't tip because she's playing the poor single mother card..literally..wrote it out on the recpt. And the ONLY reason it was written on the recpt was to maybe the waitress in some ridiculous way just might show some sympathy of where this woman is coming from??? But then again....so poor....but yet a $140 tab?

So really the question is why is this customer spending $140 on a meal if she's just a "poor single mother" ???

I can't remember the last time I've ever spent that much money on a restaurant tab, and I've paid for multiple people before.

Must be Ms. Pink. First thing I thought of...

I'm going to guess that you've never held a job as a server.

this looks like bs to me.

Aren't we all missing the point? SHE USED A CREDIT CARD!!!!!!

i never tip on the card bill only leave cash
that way it's free money to the hard working servers

Just a reminder for anyone not bothering to read the thread responses.

I always tip the good ones well so I get good service when I come back. I walk into my local bar and my beer is on the way no matter how busy they are. I once compensated my bartender for a lack of a tip on a huge group the manager helped clear the table and the receipt was throw out by accident at least a $20 tip, as I left she was screaming my name as I made up for it.

(couldn't embed video)

Has Hootie chimed in yet? He usually throws in a "Black people don't tip" comment in these threads.

Damn right, a few of the people in this thread deserve the hell out of this.

Better than getting tipped a Cassel rookie card

I always had to wait to get credit/debit card tips until I got my paycheck. Cash tips I would receive that night. Obviously I preferred cash tips.

For the people that tip poorly, I hope you don't go back to the same restaurant and that server is working, because they talk and everyone will know you aren't worth any effort.

Servers live on tips, not wages, so if I believe you are a bad tipper I may as well forget your table and use my time keeping my other 2-3 tables even happier.

Also to bad tippers, DIAF.

As other have said, if she is hurting too bad to tip on a bill like that, that money needed to have been spent at the grocery store.

What a bitch.

Having been a server, it can be a stressful, thankless job and without some decent tips, its hardly worth bothering with.

Don't make a mistake on that...could screw yourself.

I had no idea about that. Although it doesn't matter to me too much as I always tip in cash anyway. The less money the IRS can track the better.

wow this thread is still going.....

Agreed. The customer was wrong for shafting them, and the server is wrong to cry about it to this extent.

Keep in mind that your service, not your financial situation, determines your tip.

Great service should be tipped above the standard 20% because it's rare.

Horrible service deserves no tip. Horrible service should be lucky with the no-tip and thank God above I didn't have time to call the manager over and point out every fail and problem with the service...

I usually leave the tip with cash and scan my Perkstreet card for the food when I have cash on me.

When wait staff know you tip good you get treated better, they get you the hottest freshest basket of rolls, they talk and seem happy and smile.... You are the customer she wants to wait on... If you can't afford a tip try buying the hamburger instead of the steak you were gonna buy and give her the difference.... You will be full either way and 8 hours from now you won't know the difference.

"it's so veiny"
Posted via Mobile Device

this was my first thought, too. only difference, i make $2.13 an hour.
~
and i cracks me up when people tell me "now this tip is for YOU. not all the other people here. YOU keep this money" um, yeah, like i have a choice to NOT tipout.

ya I never understood people who don't tip. I get that tipping is stupid and the company should pay their employees, not the customers. But everyone knows you are 'supposed' to tip good service. Why go to a restaurant that expects tips? Don't go! If you can't afford an extra 15% on a bill, guess what! you can't afford to eat out period.

$140 at a grocery store will last you well over a week but instead you spend it on 1 night?

That type of mentality just bothers me because it doesn't make any sense at all.

You wouldn't happen to work at Applebees, would you?

People that dont tip should kill themselves. Seriously waiters have to put up with so much shit its not even funny.
Tip your ****in waiter/waitress

A lot of nicer restaurants include the tip AND leave another tip line so the waiter/waitress will get 15% that's already figured in plus an additional tip that an unknowing customer will add. If you go to Longhorn Steakhouse check your bill before adding the tip - a 15% tip will already be on the bill and is included in the total.
My guess would be this is the case in this situation and the server is making it look like the 'single mom' didn't leave a tip at all. Since we can't see the entire bill I'm going with the tip was built into the bill and mom chose not to leave an additional one.
Sorry if this was already mentioned in the thread.

Automatic gratuity is horseshit...it defeats the purpose of the tipping system.

agreed

I would argue that there's a definite need for it with parties of eight or more people. I can not tell you the amount of times I've been screwed over by a party of ten or more high school kids all paying separately.

I can understand that, but it should be a maximum of 10%. That way you're protected from being completely stiffed but there's still some incentive to give good service.

If you can't convince 10 HC kids to do something stupid you're an idiot...

Not a chance, if they are paying separately and are High School kids all they are doing is saving you a long walk to fill up their glass....

I will determine if you gave me good service and I will reward you for your good service while treating you with the utmost respect.


Auto Gratuity sucks

make sure to cook the tips once in awhile, they usually get paid minimum wage and actually have to make the food/do dishes etc instead of carry food out.

Who usually gets paid min wage?

Sometimes it screws the server as well. A lot of times it is at a much lower percentage then they were going to tip. However, sometimes it is all that is to be expected from people like the single mom.

A question of do you want the occasional big tip with several no tips/little tips or an even distribution.

ROFL

I can honestly say I have never tipped beyond the gratuity when it was added to the bill

Most managers used to be servers. If you make yourself known as a problem, what do you think happens when you come back with your gift certificate for free food? And if you don't come back, then who really cares?

I ate at Buffalo Wild Wings for the first time, after the sorry loss to Chokeland, in KC off of St. Hwy. 152 and the food and service were great. One is being built where I live in PA. I am looking forward to eating there often. I am a good tipper for good service, but I will leave a smaller tip for less than good service, but if the service is horrible nlm them.

I just don't like slimey wings... Do they make them in the oven?

Its probably for the better, in truth. I'm sure it ****s the servers over from time to time, but reeeaallly saves their skin on tables of black, Indian, and foreign people.. those ****ers are the worst tippers imaginable, if they even tip at all.

EDIT: High schoolers too. Those little shits don't tip either.

So a complaint = punishment.

Your failure to serve/cook/wait a meal means I get spit/pubes/shoe dirt on my next meal?

I see why you might have problems...
