The basic rules of tipping that everyone should know about

washingtonpost.com/news/going-out-guide/wp/2016/09/15/tipping-can-be-complicated-these-are-the-basic-rules-you-should-know-about/

>When you're dining at a full-service restaurant
>Tip 20 percent of your full bill. That 15 percent standard? Forget it. Most diners are tipping above that figure — and for good reason.

>When you grab a cup of coffee
>add a dollar if you’re a regular or ordered a complicated drink.

>When you have lunch at a food truck
>Drop a few dollars into the tip jar, but a little less than you would at a dine-in spot.

>When you're drinking pricey craft beer instead of run-of-the-mill domestics
>Tip a little extra. [...] some customers think there’s no difference between tipping $2 for two $4 bottles of Miller Lite, and tipping $2 for two $12 snifters of Belgian strong ale. “I understand we’re only turning around and handing you a beer,” said Jack McAuliffe, a bartender at the Sovereign. “But I think that the service you’re getting, and the time and thought we’re putting into our beer program [...]"

>When an owner serves you
>Tip as you would a waiter. Don’t overthink it. If an owner serves you, they’re your server. Just because they’re running the place doesn’t mean they haven’t earned a gratuity.

>When you're drinking only water at the bar
>Tip as if you were drinking booze.

>When you're calculating a tip based on the pre- or post-tax amount
>Calculate your tip based on the full bill. Uhr said most diners base their tip on the post-tax total. Why?

FUCKING LMAO THIS IS L I T E R A L L Y AMERICAN """CULTURE""" XD

I'm fucking dying lads, give this a read to better understand the mentality of the Amerifats posting here.

We could abolish tipping if restaurants actually paid their employees properly. If this requires raising food prices so be it. Just don't fucking expect the customer to subsidize the fact that you are a shitty business owner who doesn't pay their employee enough.

This culture is also very strong in Quebec.

>We could abolish tipping if restaurants actually paid their employees properly
>i-if this and that I-I wouldn't always tip

Lol. Typical American.

Why the fuck do I have to tip when filthy jews underpay their employees? Are americans this retarded?

in montreal the bartender literally asked me for a tip and i said i would tip at the end of the night and she kicked me out of the bar

>people working at restaurants tell you to pay as much in tips as humanly possible

What a surprise.

>order a $20 dish
>expected to tip $4

>order a $40 dish
>expected to tip $8

How the fuck does that work? The server had to do the same amount of work bringing each one to me.

Someone that walks a plate of food, drinks, takes a order, and cleans the table should make 100k a year

I'm usually in favor of tipping about 5 bucks (when I go eat the bill is usually north of 50$ anyways) but the entitlement is a turnoff

I'm leaving monopoly money

Here's your (you)

Tipping was invented so niggers can sometimes afford to go out for food

>expecting customers to payextra money on top of their bill
haha get fucked cunt, if you want more money ask your employer

Servers dont want that to happen though. They make more money than people think. They want to be paid shit by the restaurant itself so they can say "wah wah im a slave here, thats why you have to tip 15.... oh wait no 20 percent now.". They dont want a regular hourly wage. They want to be paid shit so they can get sympathy bucks. Servers make good money, and they sperg the fuck out whenever the get anything under 20 percent. I dont go out to restaurants anymore and thats one of the main reasons.

Here in the northeast they're trying to raise the standard tip to 25-30%.

>tip for free tap water

such cuckery

>in montreal
that's where you fucked up pham

Shut the fuck up about tipping. Goddamn. This aint even political. Its just slide threads and shitposting.

This, if I eat with friends I make sure that were doing at least 5, most of the time 6 or 8 cause 2 bucks per person, or I just round up to 20 if it's more than 16. But fuck tipping for getting me a beer, bartenders are paid better than servers anyway. If I'm alone I tip 2 or 3, but I take refills into account cause I drink a lot when I eat.

I don't tip unless the service is good. If I'm sitting around for 20 minutes for you to show up with only one of the drinks we ordered, if my food isn't exactly how i asked, if you give me a fucking attitude for needing to do your job, if you try to tell me i said something i costly didn't say when you got my order wrong, expect nothing.

Once left less than what we owed because we ordered a side portion of something and receieved a full size order. We didn't know because wed never been there before, when we hit the bill we disputed it with the server. When we told her we asked for a side, she literally said "no you didn't". We had everyone at the table literally backing us up and she said "no i remember. There's nothing i can do."

We did the math, deducted what we didn't owe, left no tip and wrote on the receipt "we asked for a side."

Never went back. That's step number two. Do not go back to places that suck. Vote with your wallet. In time those places always go out of business. Fuck all that. Support businesses and servers that are good.

It's literally just coerced robbery. Mr. Pink is completely right, fuck tipping. If you want better pay, make your kike bosses pay more or find another job.

Is it true that in murka they don't even include sales tax on the price tags of things in stores?

Seems like an easy way to diddle people out of more money if you ask me.

I hate tipping... just the concept of it. If I'm supposed to pay 20% on top of the meal then just charge 20% more for god sakes.

Oh and no I'm not going to tip someone if I'm just getting take-out. No. By that logic you should tip at Mc Donalds and nobody is doing that.... and please for god sakes don't start.

WOOOOOOOOOOOW

Tipping was invented by Jews as a way to make poor people work harder.

It has become expected, even if the person does a shitty job.

Fucking this. I went out to a restaurant and the suggested tips on the bottom of the bill were 25%, 27% and 30%. Bullshit, I'll tip 25% if the food and service are extraordinary.

I want to become a bartender just so I have an excuse tell entitled service workers to fuck off when I don't tip them for doing their job

>When calculating your tip, make sure to add tax and your intended tip to get the full meal cost, and tip 20% of that amount, plus throw in a few dollars extra.

I give high tips normally, but I never really get a shitty waitress. When I do get one I don't even pay and say fuck it

>tfw you've been tipping 25% with counterfeit money for years now

>open a restaurant in america
>don't even have to pay your workers just guilt beta customers into doing it for you
>these same beta customers browsing Sup Forums RIGHT NOW will defend this

>be american
>run over by mobility scooter
>ambulance costs $30,000
>plus tip

They're already being compensated for their service.
It's called a wage.

Fuck it I'm just not tipping anymore. At all.

>traveling in US
>never tip, never visit the same restaurant twice
>all those hurt looks from the waitresses

Why not work a job where you get a proper wage?

>be american
>be born
>doctor asks for a tip

>being a server is hard

lol i knew this would happen. Im in the North East as well but i dont go out to eat in restaurants anymore because they were getting too pricey. Tips went from 15 to 20 percent and i knew it was a matter of very short time before it got knocked up to 25 or even 30. These bitches are out of their minds.

I start out at 15-20% and start taking off points for fuckups. Fuck you.

Yes you will. Why? Because you're an American. You're a cuck. It's been conditioned into you for generations. Sure, say to yourself you won't tip. I don't care, the jews don't care. Because we all know that when the time comes and the server brings the bill, you'll buckle under the pressure and tip that 20% like the good little goy you are.

yes.

One time I have received amazing service in the US... almost creamed my pants. that guy deserved a 30% tip.

Otherwise, all the other waiters can fuck themselves. you tip 10-20% just so they can carry a plate, and hover around you asking you if everything is "ok".

Most of these Leaches don't pay any taxes on their tips.

Tax Free income and they bitch about it.

Trump hopefully reduces the tax code to a 5 liner.

>can't respOnd because babby
>dr takes tip of dick

What's more, if they earn less than the actual minimum wage (the real one that everyone is entitled to) after tips, their employer has to make up the difference. So don't be fooled by the "but the minimum wage for servers is only $2/hr!" shtick. They're not getting $2/hour, even if nobody tips.

>If I'm supposed to pay 20% on top of the meal then just charge 20% more for god sakes.
At many restaurants, a mandatory 18% gratuity is tacked on for larger parties.

And the concept is
>let's set up a wage system but convert a portion of it into a performance based commission to promote quality service

>not paying servers minimum and guilt-tricking customers into giving YOU extra money
are you even trying?

proof or GTFO

I live in the part of Canada with the highest paid servers in the country. They still expect a tip. Nigger, you make 25 bucks an hour, go fuck yourself.

The only time you should tip is when they had to drive in order to deliver your product to your destination or if you fail to pay in cash.

Everything else is nonsense.

what a horrible article. its washington post so not surprised.

It moves the cost from the employer to the consumer. (((Restaurant))) associations are behind it.

>The only time you should tip is when they had to drive in order to deliver your product to your destination or if you fail to pay in cash.
no
no on both counts
don't tip
there's literally no reason to

That's fucking dumb, I only tip at restraunts. But hey better than other places where the tip is already added to the bill.

I have stopped tipping completely. Except for delivery, but they don't charge a fee for it, and they are bringing food to my home for me.

so ameritips realize that this tipping culture is objectively retarded and simply cannot be rationally defended, right?

look at all these fucking rules you have to follow. and do you know why you have to follow them?

because the jewish owners of the food and services businesses EXPECT that some of you won't

the rules are literally constructed to be broken. they are constructed so just enough people will follow them so that they never have to actually pay their servers a proper wage, but just enough won't

they want a situation where some people who would normally only go out to eat once because they have to pay more instead go out to eat twice but pay less because they don't tip, but all of that money comes out of the server's pocket rather than the scheming jewish owner's

these jews have constructed perhaps one of the most simple yet genius schemes known to american society. because when you don't buy into their scheme, you're literally in the wrong. all the good goys turn on you for not being a good goy

they have literally sewn an entire layer of their own complex social etiquette over american society just so they can get more money and their employees can get less and their customers can take the blame for it and get feces in their food

pure pottery. this is truly the essence of the jew

I tipped 30% at a restaurant I was at for 3 hours

That will never happen at a fucking diner, what a joke

i'm getting fuckin annoyed by those stupid auto-pay tablet bullshits that ask me to tip them when I buy shit at a counter. they always auto set to 20 fuckin percent too. Greedy much? You ain't getting shit you fucking cunt I stood in line for this food.

Idk how to prove it beyond going out to my buried trunk to get more 20s printed in the 00s.

My uncle owns a printing shop and that's pretty much his main source of "income."

People really believe him when he says he supports a coke habit, 4 car garage home, 3 Harleys, 2 sports cars and two trucks, a wife and 3 kids by making business cards and menus. He'll literally give it away to family though

it feels so good to not tip. i once got a coupon for a free haircut from some indian guy. it was for a $20 cut which included a massage and wash. all the barbers were women wearing slutty clothes. the look on her face when i didnt tip was glorious. she literally hovered over the cashier waiting for me

>tfw never tip
Feels good man.

I just don't eat out any more. Much cheaper and healthier to cook for myself.

>When you're drinking only water at the bar
vegasbro here, never seen this in seven years. its not like the movies where some mysterious guy orders a diet ginger ale and sips it. no one has ever just ordered a water unless theyre homeless, or you entered the bar after they already got plastered

we have it in cuckananda as well. we also have this trick

instead of saying this product is $30... say it is $29.99. more likely to buy. fucking kikes.

What do you expect from the French? The most disgusting, rude, unworthy of life beings on this entire ball of dirt?

I'm glad in Quebec the standard is just to match the tax, meaning 15% before tax. And no one will mind 1$ from 5 to 15$, and 2$ from 15 to 25$.

Over here we have GST but ever single price you see already has GST included in it so what you see is what you pay.

You're an idiot. Tipping culture is alive and well in Australia?

Don't tip? Get a grip.

>instead of saying this product is $30... say it is $29.99
They do that literally everywhere in the world, buddy.

I don't go to restaurants or bars. The food at Whataburger is just as good as whatever hipster free range beef place. They even bring your food to your table, and you aren't required to tip.

>>let's set up a wage system but convert a portion of it into a performance based commission to promote quality service

It doesn't though, it's expected now whether they do a good job or not. Most people are too nice to leave a shitty tip.

I have a question for the murkins.

Do people still carry cash these days? How do they expect you to tip if you're paying with a card?

This is Huffington level autism

I only tip if I feel the service was just that servicing me in your restaurant and making me feel welcomed. I tip more than 20% of the bill sometimes up to 50% if I feel you did your job and more. Otherwise I don't give shit.
>been in Santa Cruz
>went to a really nice italian restaurant during my birthday
>waitress who was also the manager was servicing us
>she made sure that we constantly had refills
>was able to converse with us in a way where I actually wanted to talk to her
>was a nice lady complimented me on my boots
>brought me free desert because it was my fucking birthday
I tipped her like $30 for a $15 meal which she already discounted me for because it was my birthday I've never had anyone from a restaurant do that. It wasn't like it was a small desert either it was a thick ass slice of italian cheese cake. Plus the food was pretty amazing.
Times where I haven't tipped
>go to jewish deli in LA it's a pretty popular one
>they serve pretty late
>go there with friends
>group of 8
>we order and get drinks
>refills are almost non existent and every time we try to get the waitresses attention she pretty much ignores us serves the older people in there 30s-40s probably accommodating them first in hopes of higher tips
>it's not even packed or anything
>getting kinda ticked off about it
>food comes cold
>food is expensive
>i'm paying $12 for a cold sandwhich the size of my fucking fist
>forced to pay a tip because more than 5 people in our table even though that's illegal in my state
>$8 per person for this tax and tip that's "required"
>tell them to go fuck themselves
>everyone is looking at me "it's just $8 man"
IT'S NOT JUST 8 FUCKING DOLLARYDOOS

>Don't tip? Get a grip.
And there we go, the tipper discharges any responsibility he may feel to think for himself with another mindless, thought-terminating slogan. Let me guess, either we're with you or we're against you, and diversity is our strength, and if we see something we should say something (to the police) because if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear.

>usually double the tax at resturants

>I give the coffee people the change, no bills

>lol no

>usually give a dollar when getting a beer at a bar, but I dont really go to bars

>I guess

>drinking water at a bar

>whatever

Such is life in tipland.

i occassionally see tip jars at coffee shops and the likes, but there is a minimum wage here so they can fuck off.

I never tip, why should I?

I agréé
Tipping is degenerate

I can't speak for America but here when you pay with a card there is an extra step where you have to put in your tip percentage. If you don't want to tip you have to type in 00.

When they bring you the receipt after swiping your card you have to fill in the tip and total and then sign it.

cash is just as rare here as any industrialized nation. i carry cash strictly for specific uses: cabs, quarters for laundry, gambling, prostitutes

I follow the same rules with every restaurant
>you're nice and conversational with me
>you always keep my drink filled/never have to ask for a refill
>you check on me multiple times through out the meal.

If all three of these are done, i will leave a damn good tip. If a single one is missing, i leave nothing.

These are not hard to do, and more often than not, waiters and waitresses accomplish this. You have to be a real incompetent or inconsiderate shit not to these things. Sadly i have had a few that couldnt accomplish these three simple tasks.

>americans unironically give people extra money for bring you food on a plate

I know eating plated is a niche in america but, willing to pay extra for it?

> too stingy to tip
> accuses others of being Jewish

Great post, Ivan.

>watching an annoying bitch to constantly pester you throughout your meal

> Paying the amount for the service given is no longer enough

> Almost force you to tip as if it's the right thing to do

I usually tip like 10% to a waiter, fuck tipping bartenders though pouring a beer and making a mixed drink isnt hard at all

>tipping a bartender for opening a bottle for you

literally never.

You get the bill and there's an option on it to fill out for tips. Then you add your tip to the total while in the section for tips you add your total amount for tipping.

It's called socialism. Rich should share the wealth with plebs OR ELSE!

Ah right

>paying a prostitute in quarters

kek

Tipping is the most degenerate thing Americans do. You all freak out when niggers chimp out while you do even worse and destroy your whole society by tipping. It is like being a genderqueer homo cutting off his penis, it is so degenerate that it never really should happen and you guys do it in public.

Just pay the waiters a proper wage, if they don't provide good service then fire them.

>>When you grab a cup of coffee
>>add a dollar if you’re a regular or ordered a complicated drink.
no. they get paid wages, servers do not.

GET OUT MAPLE NIGGER

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

there are actually people who enjoy servers pretending to be interested them and talking about the weather?

20% is fucking insane really. Hell 10% is pretty insane when you think about it. Someone raised a cow for YEARS, slaughtered it and butchered it, grew and picked a bunch of vegetables, transported that shit 100s of miles, cleaned it all up, cut it up and cooked it.

And for walking over to my table with it this bitch thinks she just earned 1/5th of the value of that plate of food. Hell I'd rather tip the cook, but since they're usually male they don't get shit and society doesn't give a fuck.

Servers do too, if they don't make minimum wage via tips the employer has to make up the difference.

>paying a prostitute in quarters
i dont think i typed it out like that, but now youre making me curious as to what would happen. you might be the reason im killed

>>add a dollar if you’re a regular or ordered a complicated drink.

I run a small cafe where I run the entire show (it's a fairly slow and steady pace so I don't get overwhelmed), and people already do this. Probably because they know me well and I always give great service and act like I'm in a good mood, even If I'm not. I make around $200/day from tips alone. On a good day it can be upwards of $400.

If you have problems, leave your problems at home. Don't bring your problems into work. It sounds inhumane, but nobody gives a shit if your boyfriend just broke up with you and you're having a shitty day. If it's that bad, call in and stay home. Otherwise, go to work, and fake it for a few hours.

I dont think it is annoying for one of them to stop by every now and again and make sure everything is okay.
>"You doing alright"
>"yes thank you"
two or three times hurts no one, unless you are an autistic fuck who eats alone in the corner.
