Had a waiter confront me outside over a tip

Sometime daddy need a giant pizza-like cookie, son.

A cook-zilla if you will.

Pizzookie. Makes your teeth hurt.

OP gets dominated by ex-coworkers and his ex-boss before getting fired. Then gets dominated by some server LOL HNNNNGGGG

You admitted in my last thread that you're jobless and still live with your parents.

Talk about "domination", BTFO

 

[Breakitdown]

No, that server gets paid less than minimum wage. Learn how the US labor system works.

In what world am I supposed to give a shit about this?

 

[Deffid]

Sounds enough to me, if the can does not like it he should get a better job.

Went to a restaurant with a few of my friends last night, just to grab a few drinks and appetizers, a place called BJ's.

We end up staying for about 4 hours, from about 6-10, and for the 3 of us our total ended up being almost $200 (mainly alcohol).

We usually try and go out once a month and every month it's someone else's turn to cover the bill, and this time it was my turn.

So, figuring that even tho it was $200, I figured it's not that fucking hard to bring out 3 damn drinks at a time and we only had 2 small appetizers. I only had $5 cash on me and decided that would suffice considering it was just mainly alcohol purchased.

So after I pay with my card, I leave the $5 on the table, we walk out and sit on the bench while my friends smokes a cigarette and we continue to catch up. The waiter comes out side a minute later in a frenzy, screaming about this and that and how I'm a cheap fuck and how I shouldn't go out to eat if I can't afford to tip and shoves me to the ground.

He ends up saying "$5 on a $200 bill is unacceptable and I should go fuck myself", and then he goes back inside. My friends ask if $5 is really all I left? And I said yes, and they said why didn't you leave a tip on the receipt with your card? So I guess they took his side in the matter and they talked me out of going inside the restaurant and complaining.

How much do you goes tip for drinks? Was I in the wrong?


Cliffs : Went out with friends
Drank a lot
Tipped $5 on $200 bill because mainly alcohol
Waiter tries to fight me outside

Cheap ass broke ass Ts alert. Did you steal lemonade too ?

 

[FyrFytr998]

At a minimum, it was a $30 tip. The way I roll is, if I'm picking up the tab, everyone else covers the tip. And vice versa.

That's right!!
Don't pay for chit crew checking in!!
Never been fired crew checking in!!
Never had a server dominate me checking in!!

 

[j123]

Yes a tipping thread, its been ages since this

 

[Steve-French]

I always tip well, but I hate when servers have a sense of entitlement like that. If he can't handle the ups and downs of food service he always could have gone to college.

 

[Breakitdown]

He had to pay bussers and the kitchen ~5% of the bill because they get a % of the sales he makes. So, he had to pay them about $10.

You tipped him $5. So, he lost money serving you. He actually had to pay to serve you and made negative money.

If you'd tipped him enough just to cover the tip out, it probably wouldn't have been a big deal.

Sounds like he should get another job if his current line of employment waxes and wanes on the generosity of strangers.

Again, why should anyone care about a server's financial situation?

Why would I steal lemonade? I was drinking alcoholic beverages

 

[odog]

Why even tip that fucking fass? He gets paid a salary.

$5 too much IMO

Tipping isn't a done thing over in England. Learn from us.

Brexit means Brexit.

No, they don't get paid a salary. In many states waiters make $2 an hour which goes to taxes. Tips are what they get paid. $5 for a table that is there 4 hours means basically working for them for free.

People act like your his employer. He should complain to his boss instead of his clients. Can only imagine what other industry you can do this in.

If you think about it, it's really upscale panhandling.

 

[Der Eisbär]

the world where you should act like a decent fuckin human being aka this world.

if you cant afford to tip, you cant afford to go out. its part of the costs of the night. accept that you're a broke bitch and are too poor to go out.

 

[Pied Piper]

So it begins...

And yeah, you don't leave 5 dollars after spending 200 on a tab. Did Ja'Mychal really leave that big of a black impression on you?

yes. you can. you can do anything that isn't illegal

 

[Pied Piper]

stop trying to impose your subjective morality on others

I could afford to tip, I just didn't have cash on me.

I'm not a broke bitch, I just don't carry more than $200 in cash on me and I don't like tipping thru my cards because waiters have been scum bags in the past and added 0's to my tip amount.

 

[bandicoot]

Waiters aren't entitled to a tip. Unless I'm getting above-average service, they get nothing and have to like it.

Who chose the job?

The server did, then cheap, entitled fucks like you decide to go out and get served and pretend it isn't socially expected of you to tip them based on whatever fantastical idea you have of "above average service"

 

[bandicoot]

yes. you can. you can do anything that isn't illegal

What a dumbass way to rationalize your actions.
