Had a waiter confront me outside over a tip

stop trying to impose your subjective morality on others

stop trying to obfuscate basic human decency with rhetoric.

Say he does make 3 dollars an hour, TS tips 5, even if he only had one other table(which he most certainly had more) and they also tipped 5 dollars, thats 13 an hour for a job a god damn semi well trained monkey can do. Fuck him

 

[bandicoot]

Didn't know not tipping allowed another person to assault you. In what world do we live in these days. I can't believe there's actually people ITT that side with the server.

I'm not siding with the server, I think they're both dumbasses.

 

[chrisdiaz]

Can we make gay jokes since this guy trolls?

maybe thats why jaymicheal left, cause u have such a small tip?<Lmaoo>.......I'll see myself out.

 

[Pwent]

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.

No one knows who you are so it's not like it matters if you stay or not.

So it's my responsibility to pad a worker's salary who is not in my employ? I didn't know I had to do payroll when taking a seat at a restaurant.

I make more money than you. I tip more than you. I go to better places than you do.

I'm sorry that tipping $4.55 (an exact 22%) on your Denny's bill makes you feel like a high-roller but keep your proletarian-tier opinions to yourself regarding these matters.

lmfao @ playing the ignorance card on tipping in America. Are you from here? Yes. So what the fuck are you doing acting like you don't know that servers rely on tips to get paid? Go out with a large party mr big baller to one of your "better places", rack up a 1000$ bill and leave no tip. Be sure to let your entire party know what you tipped and record their reactions. Im 100% sure all of them will call you the fuck out just like TS got put in his place by his own friends.

TS stated in the OP that he and his friends were there for 4 hours.

 

[Almighty Angus]

Thought you were unemployed.

For a week now, I have a job lined up and unlike most of society I was smart enough to invest/save money while I had a good career going.

 

[Breakitdown]

I know that's what most servers/waiters make, but it also depends on the establishment.

Those could be made up numbers, but I also know waiters that makes tons of money because they make a decent hourly wage, and get tipped well.

If you're making $7-10 an hour, plus 20% on tips, you're bringing in quite a bit on money, I feel like a lot of these waitresses/waiters at these establishments are making up these "If you can't afford to tip, then don't go out" arguments so thy can mooch off of us and get paid 40-60k for serving drinks and food.

Let's not forget that servants, I mean servers, are notorious tax cheats who rarely declare their tips if they can get away with it.

Lol'ing hard @ trying to grub an extra 5% on a tip while simultaneously evading taxes. I don't think there is another industry with a less moral "workforce" unless you count ISIS, etc. Even then it's close TBH.

Im not here to make friends, im here to troll you for making troll threads. If this did really happen Im glad you got punked by a kid that makes 7 dollars an hour.

 

[ralphc1]

I usually tip a $1 every other drink at the bar.

I would have hit up my friends for the cash, but I didn't really see the $5 as a problem. I'm not big on tipping for alcoholic beverages, and especially at BJ's where a Jack/Coke is already $10, fuck all that.

At $10/drink the tip should be covered. Why drink at a place like that?

You're not doing a good job at w/e you're trying to do.

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

a basketball player recently got called out for similar cheap antics

how can we extrapolate this?
you're cheap
yes
but you're almost as generous as a baller

he tipped $13 on $500 (2.6%)
you gave $5 on $200 (2.5%)


keep balling

5 bucks is kind of shitty dude

Like I said earlier, it's like an upscale Applebee's (At least the one near me), if you're drinking cocktails it gets pretty expensive.

We weren't planning on staying that long, but one thing led to another and there was the bill.

 

[Pwent]

TS stated in the OP that he and his friends were there for 4 hours.

tbh the 4 hour thing is the only reason i side with the server

he took a table in the servers section for 4 hours that couldve served 5+ groups that actually tip. the server probably had his shift end too, but stuck around until they left

 

[Pied Piper]

stop trying to obfuscate basic human decency with rhetoric.

its true though. stop trying to deny reality

What a dumbass way to rationalize your actions.

aka being rational and not emotional?

 

[Hatredcopter]

also
$5 for just the tip
at BJs?

cheap
that's all i can say

 

[method115]

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.

This. I always tip well also. Partially cause I feel the pressure to counter balance the black stereotype. I like to look through the windows at the surprise the waiter has when he\she realizes the guy who looked black tipped well. Don't like people feeling entitled though and I'd be doing a lot more than looking to file a complaint if I was shoved to the floor over it. In fact complaining to the restaurant would be the last thing on my mind.
