This is NOT how you get positive reactions to your religious beliefs..

[GearSolidMetal]

I think Christianity is ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as tipping. I'm siding with Christ on this one...

LOL.... this genuinely made me laugh.

In all seriousness, that was a disgusting trick, and that tipper should be crucified.

Why do the same people always like your posts?

Do people seriously make multiple accounts and "like" their own posts?

Eh, I've liked a few. At first I thought he was opposing me by hyperbolizing elements of my position. Then I realized he was a little bit like the guy in his avatar... Over the top, wildly inappropriate sometimes, but sometimes speaks to what people are actually thinking. When he says such thing? I'll toss him a like. Can't speak for the others.

Lol @ this jealousy. Multiple accounts? Pathetic.

I know jealousy is a common trait amongst you servers, but didn't know it bled into all aspects of your livelihoods.

Instead of asking why people like my posting(s) how about you ponder on why people don't like your own? Word to the wise - it's because you are embarrassing yourself with your argumentation ITT, sorry to say (actually I'm not LOL).

Jesus said we dont have to give anything to anyone. The rich will inherit the earth and camels in swimming pools and all that.

I adequately tip in almost every circumstance that calls for it, save for receiving completely unacceptable service.

But, I will say I find it funny that the service industry feels some entitlement to tips. I mean essentially you take an order, deliver it to cooks, and then deliver food to table... per my request. Once that's said and done, you'll bring me my bill, and maybe a mint.

Meanwhile, I go shop for some new nice shoes, a retail worker will ask for my size, bring several samples for me to try... sometimes even put these mofos on my feet and lace them up. If I like them he will package them, ring me up at the cash register and shake my hand as he hands me my purchased goods. This entire exchange nets him zero dollars and there's no expectation of a tip.

A business owner gave me a leather bound bible after i paid for services and I quite liked that he gave me anything at all . n.n It's sitting on my book shelf . i will probably not read it but it's the only leather bound book that i have . It looks cool .

I am over 20 years removed from Christianity, but still own a leather bound bible.

Yes multiple accounts that perfectly explains it. Or he could actually be making great arguments. Looking at your like total this is something that you nothing of. LMAO.

 

[fbgn]

You kidding? People usually ask me to handle the tip because I'm the only one with the figurative balls to tip badly when we get crap service.

Eatheist and Breakitdown, the two friends that everyone has but are embarrassed to dine out with

Textbook server counter argument. Essentially translates to: "I have no counter argument".

I routinely dine at establishments where a meal costs more than what you and your server friends make in a month. I observe cultural norms and tip huge on these occasions. What I don't like is the nauseating sense of entitlement you and your grubby tax cheating friends have adopted in the 21st century. It's is both gruesome and laughably petty. Disgusting to say the least.

come to england. we don't tip anybody for shit

You know, you and I are both new posters. Neither of us gets that many likes. I was looking at Breakitdowns like count after you mentioned it and thought "How the hell is he getting so many likes?" But, my immediate thought after that was "What does it matter? Someone is giving them to them because they think he deserves them. I'm not getting the same. If I want more likes, I should post in a manner that garners more."

My reaction is "he's doing something to earn more likes than me and if I want as many likes I should do something to get them." Your reaction is "WAH! WAHHHHHHH! HE GETS LIKES HE MUST BE CHEATING!" Would you be happier if we gave you more likes every time you cried about someone else getting more than you?

Edit: And there we go. Another like. E-Forum-Like-Capitalism in action. Quit your whining Johnny and go out and earn the damned likes you want.

Spent a year there... I felt kind of out of place since I couldn't lord my $3.50 tip over the peons coming out to serve my food. At least, that's what various posters in this thread would have you believe...

Really did spend a year in England though. Sushi was expensive as hell - don't think I could afford a tip after several 100+ pound bills at YO! Sushi...

Your reaction is "WAH! WAHHHHHHH! HE GETS LIKES HE MUST BE CHEATING!" Would you be happier if we gave you more likes every time you cried about someone else getting more than you?

And in this, we PERFECTLY capture the essence of the server mentality in the 21st century. Fascinating to see it play out before our eyes.

Like his grubby, tax cheating brethren, shitbrush isn't content with merely "doing his job" and moving along (i.e making a post, responding to one, etc) he demands additional compensation on top of this "give me likes". You can see how the service industry breeds cretins like shitbrush whose gruesome entitlement doesn't stop at unearned tips, rather it penetrates into all aspects of their lives as we have seen on display here.

Fascinating to say the least. Truly.

 

[Burning Hammer]

A lot of states allow restaurants to pay sub minimum wage rates to tipped employees. And in general, restaurant staff work their asses off, especially in high volume restaurants. Shit service deserves zero tip but doing a good job and not getting tipped just sucks.

Here's a tip, get a better job then. I know it's weird that people expect you to do a job beyond minimal people skills. It's a harsh world out there.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that is his only account. I liked a few of his posts too for the record. The tipping debate is eternal on this site. It will always produce a back and forth. Instead of accusing others of having multiple accounts (that is like 75% of the WR btw) how about countering his argument? Crazy I know.

You know, I think there is a pretty good lesson on economics in this for some of the more naïve Sherdoggers - which is, unfortunately, a lot of them. Pretend Sherdog is a job market and likes were dollars. Now, unfathomable though it may be to some of us, just because you show up to a thread and put out some pithy (you think) statements, you will not necessarily be given lots of likes just because you showed up. If you want people to give you likes, you need to make them think you are worth reaching down and clicking the like button for.

Now, the reality is, if someone has been here longer, knows more people, has a more recognizable name, or simply posts more interesting stuff than you, they will get more likes. You do not get as many likes as them just for showing up. No, you get likes for posting what people want to see, that motivates them to reach down and hit that button. If you put out more posts, your odds go up. If you post more interesting stuff, your like count will go up. If you have lots of friends, your likes go up. If you show up with nothing going for you, you give no-one a reason to want to like your posts - and you don't get likes. You want likes, you do something to earn them giving them to you.

Consider this. Apply it to your job. The next time you wonder why Susie with the big boobs gets bigger tips than you do, or why John with 20 years experience gets more money than you do, contemplate how people get likes on Sherdog and why you get fewer than Breakitdown.. Then up your posting game. Or get a boob job. Whatever it takes to get the likes and/or dollars.

 

[kpt018]

So, let me get this straight. The last time you addressed me it was to accuse me of misrepresenting my position by fudging whether the federal VS state minimum wage employers were required to top up to... An accusation I quickly shot down. Now, you skip past your inept and inaccurate smear job to pick on some name calling? Your opinion sucks. Sometimes people tip poorly sometimes because they don't feel the need to pay someone extra for doing a poor job. If that means they're "cheap asses" to you, I kinda hope you have a long future of crappy service to pay extra for to teach you a lesson.

My suspicion is that you say "this isn't a conversation any side is going to win" because you realize that your contribution to this discussion isn't going to do much but help your side lose, so you hope we'll buy it.

First time I've had the privilege of saying it on Sherdog, but, shit-tier poster. Think more, feelz less.

Yes, and your brilliance has really brought a ton to the table. Let's summarize, service sucks, fuck them, they only deserve MW if they don't like it get another job, etc.. Real thought provoking stuff. The only point you made was that the law mandates they get at least minimum wage. Wow, congrats.

I am saying this isn't a conversation any side is going to win because it's all a matter of opinion.

 

[kpt018]

Dude, do you actually have a position any more, or is it just a bunch of name-shaming because you don't have a leg to stand on after getting reamed out?

Reamed? Lol, what are you 12? Dude the entire thread is really a matter of opinion and nothing else. We haven't discuss policy changes or anything else.

Plus, we can all have better conversations if you weren't so hostile.

 

[kpt018]

Note the inability to form a coherent counter argument, folks.

This is what former service industry apologists do - they go through their usual bullshit points ($2 / hour, tips pay for rent, stay home if you don't tip 40%, hard work, etc) and when each of their lies is brutally/systematically dismantled they resort to what amounts to psycho babble.

You have a very low bar for what is considered "systematically dismantled". Not surprised though.

While taxing on the nerves, being in food service is easy as hell. It requires you to have to be able to listen, be able to look at what food is yours, and the most important skill; walking. Whoopty do!

Maybe you shouldn't get a career that your pay is based solely on the whims of the general public. Seems a recipe for disaster, if you ask me. Though I would be upset if someone did that to me. I'm sure the customer would be upset if I took his order, and then starting spouting the joys of worshipping Cthulhu
