5 reasons why I won’t tip you if you’re a waiter

It never fails to shock me how a tip is demanded in the US. People simply refuse to listen to reason when we (yes, there are others!) tell them that leaving a tip isn’t necessary. Well, I’m hoping for too much here, but if you’re a waiter, here are 5 reasons why I will try my best not to give any money to you and why the reasons for tipping are crappy.

1. You act as if you’re my best friend

Just leave me alone ok? I don’t want to bloody chit chat with you. I want food. FOOD! Get it? It’s a restaurant. I go there to eat. I go because I want either Italian food, Chinese Food or something else which I can’t get in a McDonald’s. So I come to a restaurant to fulfill my cravings for it. I will pay for what I value – food. Not you.

Christ, you offend me – kneeling down next to my table, pretending to like me and chatting as if you’re my best friend when it’s obvious that all you’re after is the tip! I’m not a bloody money bag you know. I will pay the bill which includes the cost of the food, the environment and the salaries of the people involved – nothing more.

The only way to get money out of me that I don’t have to legally pay is by prying it out of my cold dead hands…

Bottom line: I don’t want to know your name, or interact with you for any longer than I have to in order to place my order. As far as I’m concerned, you’re the equivalent of a conveyor belt that brings me my food and a computer into which I input my order. Of course, I won’t be rude. But don’t expect me to interact with you any more than I would with some stranger.

Did you earn this tip?

 

2. You don’t get paid enough

And this is my problem how exactly? It’s astonishing that customers are expected to make up for your employer’s cheapness in not paying you a decent wage. Please include the full cost in everyone’s bill thank you very much. I’ll pay it because I have to and the charge is there for me to see.

What’s really funny here is that no one seems to criticize the employers! All criticism is reserved for non tipping customers instead of the owners of the restaurant for not paying a decent wage. Wtf! Could it possibly be because you guys know you can make much more by tips and under report your income to the IRS?

3. You’ll spit in my food if I don’t tip you?

And I’ll shoot your kid if you don’t give me a million dollars. Seriously, am I even hearing this right? You’re actually using the threat of blackmail to make me pay you? Well as long as you’re openly claiming to be a criminal it’s all right I guess.

Fortunately that’s why I prefer buffets. Listen apart from it being illegal, this shows your poor integrity. But if you spit in someone’s food because they didn’t give you money you didn’t earn, then you’re a loser and deserve to be a waiter for the rest of your life.

4. Bringing me my food isn’t worthy of being paid extra

Did you cook it? Did you invent it? No. You picked it up and brought it to me. While it might not be easy, there are plenty of jobs which are much worse – shop floor workers for example. And I’ve been a shop floor manager, so I know. Face it – compared to other jobs, being a waiter is unskilled. You get paid what the market will think your services are worth. You don’t deserve more for your work over and above what your employer should pay you.

5. Money doesn’t grow on trees

I expect you to be grateful and pray for me at night if I tip you 10%. Be happy I gave you anything at all. I worked for the money in my wallet and by giving you some I didn’t have to, I’m doing you a favor. Learn to remember that when people give you something they don’t need to, it’s a favor. You don’t complain that they didn’t give you more!

By the way, the same thing above applies to all professions that demand tips including those on cruise liners.

So now that you understand why I won’t give you money you don’t deserve, stop with the “oh how could you?” attitude. I can. And I will.

Update: Here’s a rebuttal of the many silly justifications for tipping that people have given in the comments section.

      How can the cost of food double if nobody were to ever tip? Wow waiters are so stupid. If the cost of food doubled, that would be a 100% tip. If the menu item costs $10, and a 20% tip was added that is two dollars. Not $20 that you claim will double menu prices. Waiters are as dumb as a box of rocks no tip for you dumbass.

        I think this goes a lot deeper than not wanting to tip service workers. I think a lot of you guys have woman issues.I think a lot of you are just woman haters. Maybe your mothers treated you poorly when you were children. Perhaps it’s the fact you’ve never been laid. I’m curious to know if you stiff every service worker you have to deal with or if it’s just a female food server that you hate? what about the baggage man at the hotel?What about The maid that takes care of your hotel room while you’re not there?

        You guys are too funny! I don’t tip money either, but I do leave tips. I get out a pen and write tips on the napkins. Stuff like “don’t eat yellow snow” and “get a real job loser”.

        I think writing tips on a napkin is pretty generous. I would only tip the waitress if she sucked my dick. How ridiculous is it that the conveyor belt brings food your table and they expect a 20% tip! Expecting extra money for doing your job is ridiculous.

        I dined at an expensive restaurant last Friday. As I was walking out the waiter asked me why I didn’t tip him. I told him it is because you are a grown man with a pathetic job, and that I think you are a loser. I told him if you wanted to make more money get a real job. He looked like he was going to cry.
        I then complained to the maître d’. I said how dare that piece of shit have the nerve to bother me. My dinner that evening turned out to be free

  2. Reason Number 6: The Fair Labor Standard Act… http://www.dol.gov/elaws/faq/esa/flsa/002.htm

    $2.13 an hour + tips…

    greater than or equal to federal minimum wage = Employer doesn’t have to pay you more than $2.13 an hour.

    Less than Federal minimum Wage = Employer MUST pay the difference, so that your total income equals the federal minimum wage.

    Servers who complain about only making 2.13 an hour, doesn’t know that they are making exactly or more than the Federal minimum wage.

  3. But can you justify not leaving a tip to waiters/waitresses who have to tip share? Meaning they have to give away 4-5% of their total sales to kitchen staff and others… Then if you don’t tip they are paying out of their pocket to take care of you. Aside from that this article really trivializes a waiters job.. How can you have such a strong condescending opinion when you have never actually done their job? I’ve worked at UPS for a few years and it is very fast paced and intense labor and when I started serving I thought it would be such a breeze but it’s often just as difficult, especially mentally having to be so considerate of people despite how stressful it is. So maybe you have a crazy, stressful, and “real” job but I have done both and I honestly think in the average restaurant they deserve 20% of sales at least, which is such a small price to pay to show gratitude for a fun dining experience.

      Yes I can justify not tipping. http://www.dol.gov/whd/state/tipped.htm
      As you can see with or without tips even a joke of a waiter has to be paid minimum wage. So nobody is working for free you moron. I think you’re beyond stupid to think anybody works for free.
      I go to a restaurant to eat, it is not my problem the waiter is unskilled and makes a little bit of money. If he or she can’t pay their bills they need a better job. The definition of tipping is giving away extra money because you’re stupid.

        Depends on the state you’re in. I’ve heard that servers in New York about three dollars an hour. if you don’t want to tell if that is your prerogative but I suggest not eating at the same restaurant twice. servers are friends with each other they’re friends with the hostess and their friends with the kitchen staff. if you’re a regular stiff you can expect some special sauce in your food just a suggestion… I live in Las Vegas where most of the people are service workers in some way shape or form. I’ve heard some shit you would not believe. From servers tampering with food to maid staff cleaning the toilet with your toothbrush… just tip,it’s no big deal.

        If you look at the Department of Labor website you will see minimum wage in Las Vegas and New York with or without tips.

        I am staying at the five-star Oriental Hotel in Las Vegas right now. I don’t tip the valet, the bellhop, room service, server slobs, or the person that cleans my room.

        The hotel is lucky to be graced by my presence and so is Las Vegas. Nobody would dare say anything to me, or I will take my money elsewhere.
        Management doesn’t care if I tip. They just want me to keep buying expensive shit. Instead of throwing your money away tipping, gamble it away if you want to flush money down the toilet.

I know a couple girls who used to be maids at the city center. They now work for me at my cleaning business. If you’re going to stiff the maid staff at the mo do yourself a favor and put your toothbrush in the safe… Just a suggestion sugar

        Jen… Their hourly wages are to do their job of just getting your food and drinks. The tip is meant to turn your dining experience from an objective one (like a robot serving you) to a subjective one that only a real human being can provide. If you go out to eat just for the food then you’re missing out on the whole point. You tip based on that extra unique subjective experience.

        Reply

      • In reply to NonTipper

        If you have no respect for the subjective aspect of serving then maybe saving a few dollars seems great to you. But if your financial situation permits( and if you’re going out to eat, it should) then you have to decide whether to use your consumer power to screw them over
        Or “stiff” them in a controlled environment, or you can embrace your consumer power to make a positive act of generosity towards them. After all, they do buy houses and often put their money in local banks which had positive economic consequences. But most often they work these jobs that usually are worked deep into the night, and on weekends and holidays because they are paying for school and that few dollars could make a huge difference to them, and ultimately, your community that it would not do in your hands. So you can treat them like robots and take advantage of them and put those few dollars in your gas tank or you could do something positive to show them appreciation and actually brighten someone’s day. If you’d still rather stiff your waiter then I think you enjoy that power to wrong someone in a controlled environment.

        I love how you say that a waitress is good for the community/economy. Yeah right! They only report a small fraction of their tips to the IRS meaning rich folks like us have to pay more in taxes.

  4. 1. You do not have to talk to your waiter. Servers are good at interpreting social cues, he or she will leave you alone if you do not want to engage in small talk. Servers use their social skills just like a worker uses their social skills to climb the corporate ladder (at least in America). People are subjective, “people promote people”. In a similar way, servers are trying to make more money by using their social skills by being friendly. I do not take personally if you want to sit down and eat quietly.

    2. I know you think it is bullshit (based on your other post) that we do not get paid enough. Yes, your meal covers all cooks’ labor, dishwater, the establishment, etc. But it only covers a small portion of our labor, because server get paid below minimum wage.

    Now, you claimed that with tips we make more than minimum wage, which is true. But if every costumer had the same mentality as you, we will still be making below minimum wage. So you shouldn’t rely on other patrons to compensate for your cheapness.

    Now, you may dislike this American custom (according to your other post). But it is ingrained in many workplaces in America for better or for worse. I have been to 5 different countries, and resided in 3 of them so I know about different local customs. In the hospitality industry, it is a way to cut down cost of labor and improving service. People expects that if they provide great service or go the extra mile, then they will be rewarded with a tip. Many other places, will reward employees for outstanding performances with bonuses. So, yes some people expect to get more than what they get paid outside the hospitality industry.

    3. I WILL NEVER SPIT on you food. But if you leave your expensive cellphone (or any other object) on the table, do not expect me to bend myself backwards and make sure it is turn into the manager. I will not steal it. But I will leave it there at the table. I just treating you with the same regards that your are treating me, not spitting necessary.

    4. I agree with you waiting tables it is unskilled labor. I am not expecting to make $25 an hour like I did in my summer internship at a big city. But while attending college at a small town, I expect making an honest living by working at whatever job is available, even waiting tables. You sound like you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and looks down at waiters simply because you believe you have a better job. But a job is a job, so I expect a return on my service. You are wrong, your meal only covers a small portion of our labor ($2.13 to $5 depending on the state and restaurant) so it is extra.

    5. I agree with you money does not grow in trees so do not go out to eat. Simple as that. I rather than spend my energy serving on other tables and have a much rewarding working experience than your 10%. If I wanted your charity, I will be a beggar in the street.

  5. The problem with not tipping is that in the long run, your associates will notice, which will give them a certain impression of you – the consequences of which will quietly play out behind your back.

      My associates notice that I am very careful with money and therefore do not Tip. I am in charge of the company’s finances and I don’t spend money foolishly.
      Tipping is a waste of money and unnecessary. The $800 I saved by not tipping at the last catered event ended up as a personal bonus for me.
      The waitress staff would have just purchased cheap alcohol, cigarettes and drugs with the money.
      I put it in a sheltered mutual fund for future college education. I don’t want my children doing such simple mindless tasks as the wait staff. We are better then those losers that wait tables for a meager living.

        The waitress has no business having kids with such a shitty job. If this is her second job and she needs two jobs then she never should’ve had kids to begin with.
        I’m glad he didn’t waste money tipping, no sympathy from me. Even without tipping table slaves still get minimum wage. It’s too bad the law changed from two dollars an hour to minimum-wage.
        I agree the waitress probably would’ve just got high on drugs from the money anyways. You have to admit that it was really clever of him to tax shelter the money for future college education. At least his kids won’t be on food stamps. They will be college-bound, and most likely make a very good living. The waitresses kids will be addicted to drugs and live in a trailer park, just like their mother.

        I work at one of the most exclusive restaurants in the state of California. there is a mandatory 15% gratuity added to every bill. you can get out of it but it requires you to embarrass yourself in front of the entire restaurant and most people don’t do that. sometimes people leave extra and it’s like an added bonus.

        When you pay the bill and the 15% is added to the total. If you’re paying by credit card simply cross out the 15% gratuity and rewrite the new total problem solved.

        You don’t need to argue or get management involved. I do this all the time when I dine at restaurants that have the nerve to do this.

        If they are stupid enough to try to add the tip back onto your bill you simply dispute it with your credit card, It is extremely easy and your credit card company will remove it immediately. It is called an unauthorized charge.

        first off I just like to say every single time I get an Indian in my cab they go the longest route possible. I don’t give these people the chance to stiff me. You can’t just take them the long way you have to trick them into telling you to go the long way which is legal and usually pretty easy… I get this Indian family in my cab and they’re going to a hotel that is very far from the airport. I just took them the right way knowing I was getting stiffed in the end I figured it would work itself out later and some people who don’t have their heads up their asses will give me a big tip. so I get these dotHeads to their destination. sure as Indians stink of curry I get the exact amount on the meter to the penny .okay whatever. I expected it. as I’m driving away from the hotel I hear the teenage daughters phone start to ring in the back of the cab. when I turn around to get the phone I discover a bag on the floor containing the phone a brand new iPad and a wallet containing ID and about $2,000 in cash. These people are hoping that I answer the phone and turn around and return it to them. FAT CHANCE… I put the phone ,the iPad and the wallet with the money in lost and found. 30 days later nobody claimed any of it so now it’s mine… The phone was useless, what the iPad in the cash was a great tip.

You are the type of idiot that comes up to a person and ask the really stupid questions!!! Who do you work for so I can drop your name and make you seem as low as you actually are because if I ever showed your boss, who I would probably be dealing with other then you dumbass your $800 bonus ass (laughable in comparison to today’s bonus standards and amounts) you would be gone.

        if you are a regular stiff at your favorite restaurant I can basically guarantee you that you have ingested some bodily fluid. I am from Vegas and I know a lot of people in the service industry. Waiters and waitresses are my favorite as they have some ingenious methods of getting bodily fluid into your food. my favorite is a technique called the “French dip”. Your smiling waiter goes to the back to get your Coca Cola or your nice glass of wine. What he does is he puts his penis in your drink. this is the “French dip” lol. How do you feel knowing you have sucked off half of the waiters who’s ever had the displeasure of serving you?

        The author of this blog has proven everything he said. Waiters and waitresses truly are the bottom feeders of society. To commit a felony for not tipping is inexcusable.

        A waiter blew his nose in the hamburger of a customer that did not tip him before and got caught. The waiter got four years state prison.

        Upon his release a civil suit of $2 million fell on his shoulders. The jury took less than 10 minutes to rule on the civil suit. The waiter will never have that kind of money.
        The lawyer said the point of this was to make sure he never owned a car, home, motorcycle, boat, or any of the things normal people enjoy.
        This civil suit will ensure that the rest of this waiters life will be miserable. The victim said he couldn’t be any happier. Let this be a lesson to all bottom feeders of society. Tamper with people’s food, and we will mess with the rest of your life

This he has proven beyond any shadow of a doubt… he posts using several different names,claiming he is a rich and powerful man who doesn’t tip because servers are worthless unskilled people, who are nothing more than shit under his shoes. They should just be happy to be in the same room with him…In fact he is a lowly freelance writer of minimal talent. he doesn’t tip because he simply can’t afford to. He admits to not being able to afford to tip on his other page regarding cruise liners.He should get off his lazy ass .Go get a real job,and learn to be a man. he doesn’t have the talent to be a writer so he should just stop trying… read other parts of this man’s website and you will learn what a truly disgusting human being he is. He actually admits to feeling nothing when reading about horrific natural disasters that kill women and children… He is a soulless monster. He is a spineless little fraction of a man… what we have here is a low class, non tipping,talentless hack of a freelance writer, with delusions of grandeur… He and all those who support his views deserve any form of revenge their servers have for them.

        My server was caught putting his private part in my drink the other night… I have been frequenting this establishment for many years. This guy has been my server for many years. I never one time tipped him because I figured being in my presence was tip enough for a useless unskilled worker like him. I figured he should be honored just to be in the same room with a rich and powerful individual like myself. as it turns out he has been doing god knows what to my food for years. I wonder if all of the other service people I stiff in other restaurants have been tampering with my food as well. to think that I have been eating ball sweat and boogers in restaurants my entire life turns my stomach… Thank God he was caught but only heaven knows how many other servers got away with it… I think I will start tipping in my favorite restaurants so I don’t have to worry about eating some servers bodily fluid again… I think I will go get a tetanus shot.

        People tamper with food all the time, even in non tipping places. Last year an employee of my local Taco Bell got arrested for jacking off in the taco meat. He probably had been doing it for a long time. The only reason why he got caught was because one of their drawers was off by a lot one night and a manager reviewed the surveillance tapes. What a surprise he saw. My nephew worked at McDonalds and witnessed an employee putting frozen hamburger patties in his apron, then going to the restroom to pee on them and finally cooked them. When i worked at Pizza Hut as a teen I witnessed fellow employees taking random turns spitting in the breadstick marinara sauce. This shit happens all the time. To think that some people worry about a bun being dropped on the floor. If they only knew.

        As a judge, it is my duty to ascertain the truth. It is clear as a bell you are a liar and probably a child.
        Not tipping is optional and not a crime. You sound very unhappy and miserable as a server. May I suggest you grow up and get a real job.
        Personally I do not tip, because I feel federal minimum wage is sufficient for the unskilled tasks you perform. Instead of blaming the world for your misery, blame your self.

        My business is worth 1.75 million. If any employee ever tampered with food it could bankrupt me. I have worked very hard to gain a very positive reputation. Serving high-quality food free of foodborne pathogens is my responsibility. I take this so seriously that any employee not washing his hands before starting work is immediately fired.
        If you think it is funny putting feces into food contaminating it think again. You are messing with the business owners reputation, and the health of the people eating my food. I will cooperate with law-enforcement and prosecute you to the full extent of the law.
        It is not my customer’s responsibility to tip you. If you don’t like that too bad. Interfere with my livelihood and reputation, you’re messing with your own life.

I understand if you don’t want to pay your employees more because in the catering business I’m sure your profit margins are low. You should think about including price of tip with price of food… Or you could always stop hiring illegal aliens for cheap labor.

        Wait, so $800 which was allotted by your company specifically for the tip, you decided to keep for yourself? That’s not being “careful with money” (code for cheap ass hole) that’s called “stealing”. That makes you a hell of a lot worse than the “losers” you think you’re so superior to. I guarantee if your associates were aware of what you did you’d be out of a job. Somehow giving that money to the people that worked hard for it would be wasteful and unnecessary, but giving it to someone that did absolutely nothing for it isn’t? That makes perfect sense. And you’re totally right, all servers spend their money on is drugs, cigarettes and booze, just like all Indian and Middle Eastern men are pedophiles goat fuckers that smell like a putrid mixture of B.O. and curry with small cocks and stupid goatees.

        John the waiter informs Dave the chef ( who he is responsible for tipping out at the end of the shift ) that the jackoff at table 3 who stiffed them both the last three fridays in a row is in his favorite seat waiting to be served.

        Chef Dave tells John the waiter that he is going to the head and will be right back.This is when the “take & bake” is sprung into action.

        step 1 – chef Dave goes to the bathroom to TAKE a dump.
        Step 2 – chef Dave returns to the kitchen to BAKE ( or grill ) a little bit of his own poop into your steak haha
        step 3- John the waiter with a shitty grin ( pun intended ) on his face returns to the table with a hot fresh steamy plate of human feces for you your wife and your entire non tipping party to enjoy. hahaha.

        I get an Indian lady in the cab this morning. She is 75 years old if she is a day. she had about seven bags all of them weighing approximately 70 pounds. so much luggage she had to get the bell man to help her because she could not lift even one of these bag. I watched the old lady stiff the bellman. I take her to the airport and I make sure I pull up a good distance from her airline. the fair was $12.76. she handed me $13 and was kind enough to tell me to keep the change. I opened the back hatch of the cab and pointed at her luggage. this is when she looked at me like I owed her something. I wasn’t about to help a stiff. it was hilarious watching this 75 year old woman attempt to take her own bags off of the back of the cab she struggled with her face turning red as I tried not to laugh. Finally after she got three or four of the bags down some people who work for the airline the bell cap or whatever must have felt sorry for her so he came over to help. he asked me why I wasn’t helping my passenger with her luggage I simply said “No tickie no Laundry” he smiled and I smiled then we both went on about our day.

        I am a server. I am aother of two. I am a college student. I do not do drugs, nor have I ever. I do not drink, nor have I ever. I own my own home. My own car. My kids are in a private daycare.
        I have been attending college for 4 years now. I have 4 more years to go. Your tips, go to my children’s savings accounts so that they can go to college and be better then any of you worthless people. I grew up on my own with no help. I have gotten where I am from working where I could while raising two children, whom will grow up to be amazing people, unlike yourself.
        I do not like being a server. But for the time being it pays the bills and get my kids what they need until I further my education and become way wealthier then you could ever dream of. Then I will go out and eat at the most expensive place possible and tip my server almost as much as the food cost so that he or she can go pay their light bill, buy a box of diapers, fill their car up, or buy that damn shirt they have been wanting. Because they fucking earned it, by following my every command, refilling my drink 10 times, taking my food back twice because the cooks can’t do it right the first time.
        So don’t tip, that’s fine. I won’t spit in your drink, or wipe my ass with your bread. I will just continue to do my job and do my best to make sure your dining experience is perfect. And go on with my life. I don’t need your two dollar tip to make my day better. I just need to go home to my amazing house, with my two wonderful children, and know that because I’ve worked my ass off to get to where I am, that my kids will never, ever turn out like you!

        WALDO. WHERE’S WALDO? WHERE DO YOU LIVE? I’m almost positive, everyone (besides you) knows that community college only offers two degrees. Most of the time it’s an associates degree and rarely, but sometimes a bachelors. (NOTHING MORE) You said “I bet in 4 years when you finally get your worthless community college degree…” Waldo, by using the information I have provided above you’ll be able to realize that with her statement “I have been attending college for 4 years now. I have 4 more years to go.” she couldn’t possibly be “getting” a community college degree. If anything she wouldn’t be “getting”, but would “have” a community college degree. (If she so went to one) She is clearly not an undergraduate. If she is exceeding 4 years, more than likely she is heading towards her masters.
        HOWEVER. If she is a part time student taking minimal courses, it is possible she could still be an undergraduate. This is highly unlikely.

        You are so awesome. we too ate at Red Lobster earlier this evening. We had 2 parties of 5 people each (10 people total). You see most restaurants add a tip if you’re in a party of 8 or more so we say we are in 2 groups of 5, but would like to be seated close together. Both tabs were for over $400 combined. We didn’t leave a tip even though they dedicated a server just to wait on us only. It does feel good knowing the greedy waitress thought she was gonna get a gigantic tip only to end up heartbroken. I watched as she cleaned off the table looking for a $50 spot. The disappointment in her face was priceless. Next time I should video record it.

  6. This is the most disgusting clap-trap of an argument I’ve ever heard. Is this really the kind of energy you want to put out into the world?

    First of all, waiting tables is a real job. How dare you for assuming because someone is waiting tables they are incapable of anything else? Oftentimes, the flexible schedule is more conducive to continuing education, or being having a schedule that make it so you can be there when the kids get home from school. And for many it’s a second job–so your server is likely to have a degree, or is working on one.

    Secondly, their employers are not cheapskates. This is a very capitalistic approach of getting immediate feedback on how well the server did the job. It is pay for performance big time. If you liked your service–then pay for it. If you didn’t, let them know how they missed the mark. You would complain wickedly about that extra labor charge being added to every bill–because then the server wouldn’t get any feedback. They would get paid the same whether they did a good job, or a poor job. Further, that revenue would be taxed at the restaurant level, so the charge would have to be marked up further to cover that added cost. Tipping eliminates the extra accounting efforts, and gets the money to the person who earned it–immediately. And as for the notion that this is somehow a black market way to get untaxable income–think again. Most use a debit or credit card, and those tips are automatically reported.

    I’m sitting here wondering why it is you feel entitled to school others on what they should expect, or how they are somehow less than you because this is how they make their living. All jobs are commendable. Those who work–whatever their profession–should be celebrated. How dare you for elevating yourself while denigrating others!

    Your self-serving, self-righteous, angry attitude seems to stem from your own frustrations, and then you come into a restaurant and take it out on the staff to right an indefensible beef you have, and season your diatribe with vile language and personal insults. Any cogent argument you may have had are negated by the personal slurs you lace throughout your treatise (and this goes for all the others that lowered themselves to make this a personal issue).

    You complain about your own work environment–but put yourself on a different plane as somehow working harder or better. Shakespeare said, “The lady doth protest too much…”. And you do. Don’t reply to this missive. Look in the mirror. Do you like who you are? Do you like how your mean-spiritedness infects your spirit? Ask yourself what you really get by investing your time and energy into demeaning others.

    As for tipping–it is immediate feedback. You are right, other countries don’t have tipping, and they are forever castigated for poor service. And like any other professional endeavor, those who are very good at what they do make a decent living. However, while the best servers make good money, they also have to pay for their own healthcare, savings mechanisms like 401K’s, figure out how they will make it through if they take time off for a vacation, or if they are sick because many of the big corporate restaurants and franchises still do not provide this to their “minimum wage staff” EVEN THOUGH their entire business model rests on the shoulders of those cooking the food, and delivering the food to the table. They are cheap like you–demonstrated by their soaring profits and dividends, while paying insane amounts of money to their CEO’s.

    Nonetheless, waitstaff perform with a smile–and yes, they do all the other things that make a restaurant work. IT IS THEIR JOB. No one is asking for praise for doing what is expected, but you seemed to discount the work associated with waiting tables–because they make it look easy, as any pro does. What you don’t see, and apparently don’t appreciate who does the ancillary work that makes it possible to delivery a full meal to your table in less time than it would take you at home to make a basic sandwich. They arrive early to mop the floors, clean off the tables, and scraping the gum off the bottom of the table–seriously adults still do that. They wipe down the menu’s and dust the wood work, and fill everything you use. Filling one salt and pepper shaker isn’t much, but washing 50 sets at a time and refilling them, is part of the drill. Yet they take it all in stride, staying after the restaurant closes to take out the trash and pick up after parents let their kids rip up their napkins, play with the sugar, and throw their food every which way, or sweeping up the cigarette butts smokers blithely flick on the ground as they walk in. And you’ve seemed to forget they aren’t just serving you–they have several tables to manage simultaneously. They deal with multiple personalities–including some very difficult people–working to give every guest a positive experience to help make their day better. Day in and out, they perform despite having to occasionally deal with sourpusses like you. And they work hard, and earn every penny they are paid, be it in a wage, or a tip.

    You are clearly unhappy with your life, and you make yourself feel better by acting higher and somehow superior in an ugly sanctimonious way. You are the worst kind of hypocrite. You are mean, angry and the epitome of what is wrong with the world.

    I own a restaurant, and wait tables on occasion too. I am proud my establishment puts $1.5M back into the local economy each year–and for creating 35 jobs. And yes for teaching young people who may not have another career path, that they can learn a trade that will provide for themselves and their families. Not everyone wants to sit at a desk all day, or interact only with a computer screen. Service jobs come out of a genuine desire to give to others. Just because this is a profession that is learned while on the job, does not make the skill and effort any less than someone who went to a technical school, or college. They spend their pay, helping the local economy–just like office workers–and they pay their taxes. It is a real job, and can be a longterm career fit for many.

    I am sickened by the thug mentality that brought out the angry pile-on from those without a clue on what it takes to work in the service industry. May I suggest you would do well to consider what you contribute to the world–because you are capable of more. Be the change you want to see in the world, and stop blaming others for your own angst.

      I used to be a bus boy in a restaurant and let me tell you a waitress is an unskilled job. I busted my ass off cleaning and wiping down tables and even did the dishes while all the waitresses ever did was write down orders, bring food to the tables and when they were slow they had to roll silverware. I got paid minimum wage and the waitresses got to keep all their tips which equalled over $20 an hour. Then to top it all off, them bitches had the nerve to accuse me of stealing their tips when customers didn’t leave anything. I said screw that job and quit 2 months later.

        You seem like a smart cookie, it only took you two months to quit.
        It wouldn’t surprise me if you went to college and make at least $40 an hour right now because of your crappy experience with waitresses.
        Waitresses are paid minimum wage no matter what so people that tip are retarded. At a restaurant the entire experience is based on the food, not the simpleton that brings it to you.
        If they had a no tipping section I would sit there just so I didn’t have to listen to the bimbo waitress speak.

        Wait staff are not paid minimum wage. They are paid well below the minimum wage, about $2 maybe $3 an hour if their lucky. States allow this for jobs that include tips. It’s called the minimum tip wage. That’s assuming they’re even on the books, if they’re not I’ve been at restaurants where wait staff make nothing but tips. I don’t believe for a second your name is Rachel either. You’re the idiot that wrote this who clearly has no life, no friends, is cripplingly unhappy and hates himself, evident in the amount of hatred he poured into this article and the amount of time he has to make up all of these pathetic fake responses. And you know what? You should hate yourself. You’re an ass hole and I doubt there’s a single person reading this that doesn’t agree with me.

        I don’t agree with you and I’m not the author. It is a fact by law, that if a waitress doesn’t make at least $7.25 an hour with tips, than her employer has to make up the difference. If the employer doesn’t make up the difference than they are breaking the law and I’d encourage employees to report them. Most waitresseses get around $3 from their employer plus tips. The problem is with tips, the waitresseses usually make a crapload more than the $7.25 an hour, but only claim $4 an hour on taxes and pay no taxes on the rest illegally. That is why I never tip. They are already making minimum wage and stupid people feel sorry for them and leave big tips and waitresseses end up making $20+ an hour in tips just for doing an unskilled job. Just think how much a waitress makes at Red Lobster if everyone left a 20% tip. They probably make $100 an hour for carrying a tray all night. I don’t feel sorry for not tipping.

        Who cares if she ends up making 15 or 20 dollars an hour for serving. Tip because it’s the right thing to do. I just tipped $10 on a $50 check at a pizza place not because I felt sorry about the waitress job but because it is the right thing to do. to not tip is so unbelievably ghetto. You people make me laugh. Ghetto Fucks.

        I just came back home from dining out. The bill for our party of 5 was $167.52. None of us left any tip. Tipping is stupid and you sir are an idiot for leaving one. It’s the employers responsibility to pay their employees, not mine. I bet you tip your barber, hotel maid and mailman too! I don’t tip for services that are included. Only person I ever tip is the pizza delivery guy and he only gets $2 from me…regardless of total.

        Tipping is stupid and a waste of money. A job that depends on the kindness of others is stupid and sounds like begging. Tipping is not the right thing to do, it is a stupid thing to do.
        It is up to you and you alone to make your money, it is not my concern.
        I had dinner at Ruth Chris steakhouse with my family the bill was $276. I left zero tip because I don’t give a shit about the waitress. Bringing me the food I paid for it is her job. If she doesn’t like it she can quit and get a new job. Oh wait she can’t because she has no skills or education. Don’t worry,, by law even a waitress has to be paid minimum wage.
        Bringing people their food is not only pathetic but because they have to be paid minimum wage they are severely overpaid. I liked it better when they really only made $2.13 an hour. That was a fair wage for the job. We should repeal the minimum wage it’s too much money for them.

        So what you’re saying is, if I don’t tip my food will be tampered with.
        Sounds like threats, extortion and blackmail. You should be ashamed of yourself.
        It is because of little pukes like you I refuse to tip. I also refuse to tip because the law was changed so that servers have to make min wage with or without tips.
        Because of this law change tipping have become totally unnecessary. Threats extortion and blackmail however are totally unnecessary.
        I would be the wrong old grandfatherly person for you to do this with. I would put you over my knee and spank you like the little bitch you are. You parents should be very ashamed.

        You absolutely are the author. You’re pretense is as transparent as your morality. You’re right about that being the law. Employers are supposed to make up the difference, but they never do. I just explained to you why. If they did it would cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars extra a year, inevitably leading to bankruptcy. I did the math, don’t deny the obvious just because you’re a baby that’s cheaper than any living creature on the planet. And really? $100 an hour at red lobster? Your stupidity knows no bounds. You think a server at red lobster makes $180,000 a year? Point me in the direction of that establishment and sign me up. Hell, I’m surprised we still have doctors and nurses when we could all just grow rich working at red lobster. Red lobster has cheap food, often people that frequent a place like that are either huge fans of the food (somehow)or living on a budget. It’s inexpensive and tacky which equals crappy tips. You know how many intangibles effect the success of restaurants on a daily basis? I don’t know why I’m asking, of course you don’t. You have the IQ of a tennis ball. Seasons, sunshine, rain, location, advertising, whether or not reservations are accepted, holidays, sporting events, TV shows, traffic, EVERYTHING. Restaurants are more often empty than they are full. When that happens servers make close to nothing for around 9+ hours of work. Neither does the restaurant. Are you nuts? You think that a restaurant will ever choose to lose money in order to pay their employees extra for doing less work? News flash, they break the law just like every other company in the world does in one way or another. And servers can’t do shit about it. They just accept that there are good days and bad. But there’s a difference between a bad day and a bad person like yourself that won’t admit the fact that you’re reasons are horse shit excuses for you to be as cheap as possible and not in any way justifiable. By the way, I never got a response to the two obvious solutions to your bull shit issue. Why won’t you tell your server at the beginning of the meal you’re the dregs of humanity and you’re not going to tip them? Pussy much? But even more obvious, if you don’t want to tip for being served, interact with wait staff, and you just want the food, why the hell don’t you just order the food TO GO you fucking sociopath. Problem solved. Do yourself a favor and stop talking about something you know absolutely nothing about. All you do is succeed in making yourself look like a complete idiot. Once again, kills yourself.

  8. Wow. Just wow. More important than anything I say here, if you have the balls to believe any of this and you actually plan ahead of time to leave no tip, then have the balls to tell your server that at the beginning of the meal, before you receive any service. Otherwise, not only are you a shitty, astoundingly cheap human being, you’re a giant pussy too. If you don’t want your server to talk to you, tell them! I’m sure they’d be happy to oblige, especially considering how unpleasant you must be to talk to being the miserable prick you are. Tipping servers is optional in a legal sense, but in every other sense, no, it’s not. If you get bad service that’s one thing, but servers make a wage dependent on tips that allows restaurants to pay them $2 or $3 an hour, well below minimum wage. That’s what makes food prices lower, so as a customer you’re benefitting from that arrangement and therein lies your responsibility to tip. That’s also what makes the job different from a McDonald’s or a fast food joint where employees make a higher hourly wage. You think that all waiting tables entails is bringing food to a table? Clearly you’ve never done it before. I would love to watch you fall all over yourself trying to work at a busy restaurant for one day. You’d collapse in tears halfway through the dinner rush. I pray that after your inevitable failure at writing leaves you no other options but sucking dick for a living or waiting tables. I can’t believe you mention integrity when you have none, or that you “work for your money,” but don’t pay others that work for you. That’s what they are doing. Literally. Serving you. Obviously a fat ass buffet goer like yourself isn’t just cheap in general, I’m sure that has nothing to do with it. Finally, if you don’t want to tip then why don’t you just order the food to go you fucking moron. If you choose to sit down and get waited on then you damn well better tip. Otherwise put your own order in, get your own drinks, and get your own fucking food. I can’t believe people like you exist. I hope you choke on your food the next time you go out to eat. Oh and spit in your food? If you were my customer and I saw this article with you at my table, I wouldn’t spit in your food, I’d puke on it and throw some poison in for good measure. Go kill yourself.

      The reason I don’t tip is because you make federal minimum wage. That doesn’t make me a bad person.
      All you did was bring me my food. You are nothing special, did nothing extra, just did your job.
      Why am I supposed to give you extra money for doing a very simple embarrassing job?
      You are not due a tip. It is completely optional to tip.
      I think you are an idiot because you think you deserve a tip, for just doing your job that you are already paid for.

Glad you arent my grand kids on here down grading human life instead of respecting it its all fine though me and dorthy will be in heaven soon and we can look down and see all you monsters fighting over why your politically correct and not why tips were established in the first place.

Sure I maybe tight with my money, but that’s why I’m rich. Just like Jews are rich for being tight with their money. I value my net worth alot more than some high school dropout of a waitress with numerous kids by different dads. Their mistakes in life is not my problem. Everyone wants tips nowadays. Shit even the counters at Starbucks and Subway have tip jars. Only an idiot tips someone for doing the job they get paid to do. Maybe that’s why you’re so poor. You give your money away freely instead of working hard and investing it.

        $50 to us is just an appetizer at a fine restaurant. To the waitress it was probably her entire checking account.
