Why do the libtards hate us so?

The best tippers (very generally) behind wealthy men are professional women.

Chickens can fly when they're high on acid.

See? I can say random shit and pretend it's true as well.

always drives me nuts when I see another table get preferential treatment because they are known big tippers while another table gets practically ignored even though they tip 18-20%.

I'm sick of tip snobs.

As one who's worked in the industry briefly, I'll just note that my experience was that there was a clear connection between quality, friendly service and larger tips, as well as a bit of a sales increase.

for me, great service won't necessarily get you a larger tip, but lousy service definitely will get you a lousy tip.

hey black waitress lady gal, you KNOW where da $$ at, right over here!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't sound like banned tipping...it sounds like mandatory tipping.

It's like a table of 10 or more. When you automatically charge me 18%, it costs the other 6% I may have tipped on the group.

Sometimes, I like to tease the waiter/tress a little when they bring the check and I'll deadpan ask them "how do you feel about tips?" They'll usually give me the "huh" look and I'll say "would you say you are for them or against them". Typically it results in a nice exchange and I tip well.

A while back, I was eating with a coworker and at the end of the meal I ask the waitress "how do you feel about tips". She looks at me like I've just shat upon my plate and then I realize she's a..top heavy gal......I laugh a little and then spell it....t-i-P-s tips....then she laughed.

If the servers are friendly and attentive, I take care of them.

because you are a white american male. I generally tip 20% and yes, a great attitude and good service will guarantee this for the waiter. However, if they suck so does the tip.
