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.

  1. When the check comes, I hate how part of the check says tip. Why can’t I just pay my bill and not even be bothered with this? So I have to draw a line through the tip and then write the total.

    One time the waitress added a $4 tip. I didn’t catch this until my credit card bill was due. Of course the manager said it was a mistake and credited my account.

    To avoid this in the future I use a black magic marker to black out the tip line. Of course it is still annoying that I have to write in the total, but at least I don’t have to deal with dishonest restaurant employees padding my check.

      Instead of calling the restaurant, I would’ve just disputed the charge with the credit card company. The restaurant will have to deal directly with the credit card company and they will have to explain the fraudulent charge.

      That charge was no mistake. It was the waitress being slimy. What I don’t like about restaurants, is that it’s the only place I can think of that your bill is not finalized before you leave. If it was finalized upon departure, this shit would never happen. Just another example of how entitled these waiters and waitresses feel.

        I’ve seen a few restaurants do it like in the rest of the world, where if you want to tip you have to tell them and how much before the bill is totaled. If asked, they explain it’s for accountability reasons. One would assume that the practice of faking tips like that is what lead to such a practice.

      You, then, are a heartless leech! Waiters/Waitresses/Servers if you will/ Bartenders/Skyhops/TaxiDrivers and a million others work for TIPS! This is American culture – love it or leave it! I was brought up [poor, but always had good food, nice homemade clothes and LOVE, LOTS OF LOVE!} to KNOW that if you couldn’t afford to tip – even at the Woolworth’s Lunch Counter (so now you know how long ago, lol) then you could not afford sit down service! I would sooner have pocketed my Sunday offering that stiffed my server.

        Slavery was an American tradition for a long time, too. I suppose you’d like to see that back on the table?

        Things change – especially things that are wrong, like tipping. Employers stiff their employees, but the customer isn’t am employer. It isn’t their job to pay servers. Not one of those jobs you mentioned is a job those people are forced to do. It is a choice. It’s always a choice. After all, we abolished slavery. Don’t like it? Don’t do the work.

        Oh, I’m sure you wish that were true, Cubby. This blog was posted in 2009.

        This video by the popular Adam Ruins Everything came out last year:
        https://youtu.be/q_vivC7c_1k

        Last year Shake Shack banned tipping. Black Star Co-op in Austin banned tipping, as well as Alinea and Next in Chicago, Abrusci’s in Wheat Ridge (near Denver), and Packhouse in Newport (across from Cincinnati). Atera, Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare, Craft, Dirt Candy, Per Se, and Riki’s all in New York banned tipping. Girard in Philly. Bar Marco in Pittsburgh tripled profits after banning tipping. Bar Agricole and French Laundry in San Fran, Comal and Ippuku in Berkeley. Ivar’s in Seattle. The Public Option in D.C.

        These are all very trendy, popular restaurants (many of which only cater to the wealthy). Other restaurants are following suit. It is becoming popular to ban tipping. There are yells from the left AND right in politics to ban tipping, and as non-tipping becomes more and more commonplace the demand for legislation will only grow until it’s a matter of law.

  2. Hahaha this is such an ignorant rant. Let me know if you want to go to the “no-tip” policy that has been implenemented (and failing miserably) by some restaurant. Expect to pay $25 for that $15 meal instead you cheap cunt. Today I gave someone a military discount (which they didn’t ask for), shook their hand, and thanked them for their service… they left me nothing as a tip. Keep in mind that I will never give a military discount again. It’s not the employers fault that servers are underpaid. It’s the entire system where tips were created during the prohibition era. You want your food for a lower cost? Then expect to tip, or else tips will be included so fair wages are met.

      Yeahhhh, except most of the world doesn’t tip and their prices are pretty much the same as here. That price increase is just a lie restaurant owners use to keep servers whining about tips.

      As it is, employers legally have to pay the difference if a server doesn’t earn enough in tips.

      Bhagwad covered the price increase in another post (look for the update link above), but basically even if a restaurant had to raise prices it would be a few cents per item. Nobody would give a shit.

      Reply

      • In reply to Jordan

        How does that even make sense to you? Tipping averages between 9% and about 17% depending on where you live (remembering people who don’t tip affect the average). That implies that such tips alone make up at least the Federal minimum (to cover the law).

        The Federal minimum with tip credit is $2.13, while the full Federal is $7.25 per hour. Remembering that with no tips the employer must pay the difference either way, it’s $5.12. If management is at all competent, they should not have more staff active at a time than necessary to cover a reasonable amount of active tables. Even if the turnover is a slow 4 seats per hour for each server, that’s only $1.03 per seat. Even at a casual dining restaurant with a $15 tab for a person, this is less than 10% of their tab, and that $1.03 is divided between their drink, main, and any sides they might get.

        Nobody would notice. Like I said, most of the world doesn’t tip and the prices are pretty much the same. The only way it would be an issue is if the restaurant is poorly managed.

        You’re right the non tipping restaurants have failed miserably. The simple fact is NO ONE would wait tables for minimum wage without tips. Please forgive me. I know you’re right. I’m just very bitter because I have no girlfriend, no friends, no money, no job, no self esteem, and most of all no dick. My apologies. Is your restaurant hiring?

        Actually, Cubby, the dumbest part of your argument is that, first off, we already know people do shit work for minimum wage. Second off, the reason wages for those jobs is so low is because people are willing to accept the wage for the work. If people didn’t, they would either just eliminate the jobs if possible, or raise the wage.

        The entire argument for banning tipping from the liberal side is because it would force the restaurant owners to raise wages.

      2) You waitresses really are huge hypocrites. You guys complain about how much yall get paid 2$ and change per hour, yet are the same ppl that criticize those that don’t tip, a.k.a. “If you can’t afford to tip, then take your cheap a$$ to McDonalds!” Yall are also bullies as well. Yall are to chicken shit to stand up to halls employers, so instead you guys just pick on vulnerable targets, aka the diners, aka the same ppl that are the reason your funky asses have jobs, aka biting the hand that feeds you.

      Servers are not in the least bit necessary, I wish people WOULD just go to Wendy’s instead of sit-down restaurants, that way Yall can lose yalls jobs and be homeless bums and kiss my ass the correct way in order to get my money: by begging

  3. $25 for a $15 meal if tipping is eliminated? I see three problems with this. 1) Your math skills are below that of an elementary school child. 2) With or without tips you make at least federal minimum wage. 3) You act like an entitled, spoiled, immature child.

    You are not under paid for the simple unskilled job you perform. You are actually very overpaid even at minimum wage. This little job of yours is for teenagers and people looking for a little extra pocket change. This job is not meant to be an adult job to support a family.

    What makes me laugh the most, is when you say it is not the employer’s fault you are underpaid. It is actually your fault because you took the job knowing full well what it pays. Also the employer pays you a tiny wage because you are not worth a penny more. The employer can pay you whatever he wants. I am sure he would pay you a lot less if it was legal because you’re not worth much money.

    The customer does not owe you any extra money you silly child. If you shined my alligator skin shoes, I will give you a shiny quarter. Just doing your pathetic teenager job does not entitle you to any extra money.

      Holy shit I’m a bitter douche bag! It almost seems that it’s not tipping I hate, but servers themselves. Maybe it’s because I was unable to get a job as a server because of my god awful attitude and the stench from not taking a shower. Maybe it’s because my high school crush was a server and like any other female I’ve ever met couldn’t stand the sight of me. Honestly it’s probably the fact that I make minimum wage at the gas station and don’t make tips….yeah fuck servers!

        It’s arguing with grown adults who think that they should be able to make a living doing that teenager’s part time job on the customer’s dime. It’s arguing with people who insist on spreading misinformation about the minimum wage. It’s arguing with people who blame the customer for what is their employer’s responsibility and their own choice.

  6. If you want a tip get a real job. Why should I pay you extra money for doing your job? You are already paid minimum wage. I am very wealthy. I am not bragging, the point I want to make is I did not become wealthy by being stupid with my money. Tipping is extra money only a fool would part with. I will pay my check, however paying you extra money for being my waitress is fucking stupid.

      If I ever catch a server spitting in my food because I don’t tip, both the server and establishment will be sued. What a lot of people don’t realize is rich people (such as myself) have the best lawyers money can buy and they would jump so fast on a case like this. I’m talking multi-million dollar settlement. You just proved that servers don’t deserve to be working with the public if they expect tips. They already make minimum wage which is more than they are worth.

        There is no justification for tipping. You have a job, you get paid to do that job. Your employer is responsible for paying you. It’s the same as any other job.

        Most of the world doesn’t tip, and even when they do it’s a fraction of what servers in the US seem to demand. However, most Americans disagree with tipping. Seriously, people on both sides of the political fence say tipping should be abolished. Google “tipping should be banned” and you will get countless articles as to why. Look up “Adam Ruins Tipping” on YouTube and look at the comments. It is a MINORITY of people saying that people SHOULD tip.

        When you’re done arguing with the entire world who disagrees with your entitled ass, do yourself a favor and look up the number of places that have already banned tipping, how many plan to, and how many will once it becomes common place. It won’t be long until tipping is no longer common place, and we are more like the rest of the world.

        Let’s think about this logically, shall we?

        The only way you could possibly pull this off is if the many people who work in a kitchen are willing to overlook it because there’s no way somebody wouldn’t notice, and that’s not going to happen seeing as (like I said) most staff hate the whiny servers. There is no chance in hell every member of staff is going to risk their job and freedom because you are pissy about money you haven’t earned

        Otherwise it’s just you and your buddy working, in which case you work in a little dump, anyway, and don’t get enough business for it to be likely anyone comes back.

        Then, the only way anyone would fail to notice feces in their food is if the food already tastes like shit, although to be fair that would both explain why only you and your buddy would be on staff and why they wouldn’t bother to leave a tip.

        So keep pretending all you want, but it’s clear you’re what’s full of shit, and not the food.

        Simple explanation.

        We seat known stiff in section 2 where we always symbolically seat him. I then retrieve the salt shaker filled with dry powdered human feces from my bag and hand it off to by brother from another mother (Chef Brown). He then seasons said stiff’s NY steak with a combonation of urbs and spices incliding the special ingredient I retrieved from my bag a moment earlier…Chef Brown does his thing, then we both peer put the kitchen windows and laugh uncontrollably as Mr. Adolf Stiffer enjoy his meal.

        Whatever you say, man. You’re still ignoring the fact that nobody would taste that and not realize it – and that’s beside the fact it contradicts other things you’ve said (like the comment about laxatives). Oh, and please don’t refer to your short order cook as a “chef” as it’s demeaning to people who actually are chefs.

        Funny, though, you’re outright stating that you are not only playing with your own shit, but taking the time to dry it and grind it to a powder. You are actually doing more work on the off chance that some random customer is going to come back to your little greasy spoon and actually eat whatever garbage your friend, who likewise has no real life prospects, cooks for them. If this were true, your little apartment would smell so bad you couldn’t have anyone over and your neighbors would constantly complain.

        So I’d have to ask what do you do to your employer who is actually the one responsible for your pay?

        And what about yourself? Do you eat your own shit for choosing your job? For not tipping your cashier at the store? Or that guy who takes your drive thru order?

        The laxative method is for emergencies only. If I used everything in the salt shaker that night.

        The drying and grinding process can be messy but I’ve developed a method to keep myself pretty clean. If I do happen to get a little of my own funk on myself at least it’s mine…Dark clowd silver lining.

        You’d be SHOCKED if you knew which restaurant I’m talking about, man. If you dine out a lot in Manhattan you’ve likely visited this establishment…Hopefully for you only once. Because on visit #2….Peeeeyou.

        If you say so. I’m sure you like to believe your little gutter, no-name diner is a big deal, but if it were as popular as you claim, you’d never remember John from Sally who dines there. I mean, it was a few months before the clerks where I stop EVERY MORNING for breakfast started recognizing me when they only have like 5 people who work there, and I live in a fairly small city.

        Popular restaurant in Manhattan? You wouldn’t remember if table 9 was a guy or girl two hours later, let alone recognize them and whether or not they tipped if they ever happen to show up again.

        Whatever you say, Chuckles. Customers in a restaurant aren’t “clients,” and Denny’s doesn’t exactly count as a popular restaurant.

        Also, just a point – if it’s “popular,” most of your customers aren’t “regulars” because popular implies that many different people go there. “Enjoyed by a handful of people who come back often” is not “popular.”

        Since you’re my new buddy and I’m telling all the tricks of the trade I’m gonna tell about another one of my favorite methods of server revenge…The infamous “French dip”

        This is how the french dip method works. You go up to known stiffs table to get his drink order. You then go back to the bar and pour mr cheapo’s nice glass of wine or soda or whatever the piece of shit is drinking. You then step off to the side in the little hall that leads to the back entrance whip out your pecker and place it in the glass… Piss is optional.

        Former lawyer, eh? Do you work at the gay bar, or is the boss you’re talking about the one who just got 9 years for debt relief scam? Or maybe you work for the comedian whose other restaurant got 0 of 4 stars for such terrible food and service?

        I ask again, what is it you’re doing your employer since, you know, they’re the ones actually responsible for how much you get paid?

        Here’s the thing – any “regular” who stiffs you and gets shit in their food (as you claim) is never going to come back, so they’re not a regular. If you are making the claim they wouldn’t notice, you are saying your friend’s cooking tastes like shit either way, so they aren’t going to be regulars, either. Anyone else isn’t going to be recognizable for the reasons I mentioned before.

        You’d be surprised how easy it is to mask the taste of the stool. Just like how people used to hide antifreeze in sweet tea, I know how to mix the shit in with the steaks and what not. You know how easy it is to wipe swamp ass with the buns from the hamburger? Bone appetite

        …even though we both know that will NEVER happen. I piss and moan about it, but I’m well aware of how many bodily fluids ive ingested over the years. I’ve developed a taste for it. I like it now. No harm no foul I guess.

        I always place a $50 bill on the table towards the end of my meal and after I cash out I pick up the $50 and leave. Keeps the waitress working nonstop to keep my party satisfied and the look of disappointment on her face when we leave is pure enjoyment.

        Threatening to put laxatives in the food of a person that does not tip just shows how immature and entitled you feel you are.

        This has played out before so let me recap it for you:

        The waitress got 4 years in state prison. $1 million civil suit was leveled against her. She will never have the money to pay, but then she will never own a home, boat, or anything she will be able to call her own. Her paycheck is garnished for the rest of her life including Social Security.
        The restaurant paid $2 million in damages. She now has a felony conviction and will have an even harder time finding work.
        There is no way a chef will ever stick his neck out to do that. You are all talk and will never tamper with a person’s food.

        Putting drugs in food is a felony. Your news story was not drug related. Cubby use your own name instead of me. You only make yourself look silly and childish.

        Even though I never mentioned drugs…and STILL no proof! I’m just a bitter douche bag trolling and trying to ruffle feathers. If you manage to catch a server doing ANYTHING to the food (which you won’t) the penalty is nothing close to what I claim. So continue to urinate, ejaculate, deficate or whatever else you please in my food. There’s basically no repercussions.

        Also a lawsuit is pending. That will be 1 million or greater. Then a civil suit will be initiated against the waiter.
        He will have his wages garnished for the rest of his life. No car, home, boat, or property will ever be purchased by the waiter till the civil suit is paid in full. The civil suit will be 1 million or more.

        The more likely scenerio.

        Waiter and chef will successfuly cook poo into your food and laugh at you for it. You will go home with a belly full of feces and never know it happened…

        The laxative is for me so I can pop one off quick enough to be cooked into the known stiffs steak.

        I would never be so mean as to put xlax in someone’s food, man.

        What do you take me for?

        She should have been smoother about it…The salt shaker tech is something I developed over the years to speed the process with which I get feces into your food…It is also a safeguard against detection.

  7. I cannot say how much I agree with this post. The funny thing is I used to be a waitress myself. It was a job that got me through college, in which now I am a nurse and work extremely hard for my money. When I was a waitress of course I liked having tips, but comparing being a waitress to a nurse. I don’t think waitresses deserve what they make in tips. They make more money than they claim, get less taxes taken out for a job that is in sense brainless. Police officers, emt workers, fire fighters are all people who save life’s every day and make less than most waitresses I know. Tipping needs to end and simply it is a minimum wage paying job.

      Nurses are the glue that holds the hospital together. They are the heroes that never get proper recognition. I was in the hospital last year because of a skiing injury. The doctors did a 15 minute surgery, but the nurses are the ones that really took care of me.

      I treated all 3 shifts, 24 nurses on that floor to a catered dinner at the hospital. The main course was filet mignon or lobster stuffed haddock.

      This was done to show my appreciation for the kindness and expert care the nurses gave me.

      Tipping a waitress for bringing me my food Is ridiculous. It is just an unskilled minimum wage job and should be treated as such.
