So we all go out to eat right? Now would you say your a good tipper? Or do you admit that your a bad tipper?
As a waitress, when I go out to eat I most likely over tip, but that's just me.
I work at Ruby Tuesday (they eat your soul), and lemme tell you about the tippers I get on a daily basis. I either get really really good tips or just down right pathetic tips and I'm a good server (not tooting my own horn or anything) so I think that I should get good tips. My favorite is when my table will tell me over and over about how great of a server I am and how great their experience was and then all I get is $4 on a $30 check. Um okay just so people know "Your a great Server!" and "Your such a pleasure! We must request you next time!" does not pay my bills and put gas in my car! And gas is now almost $4!
What most people don't know is that us servers only get paid $4.70 an hour, so when you tip really bad its really hurting us.
Now I'm not saying you should over tip when your server is absolutely terrible. If you have a server that never refills your drinks or barley comes to the table, then by all means tip 15%. But if you have a really good server that is on the ball the whole time then please tip the 20%.
So tell me people, the truth comes out, Are you a Good Tipper? Or a Bad Tipper?
I would say I'm an average tipper unless I get a really BAD server and then I don't tip very much at all.
ReplyDeleteI am actually a server myself, so I can definitely relate! I work at Ike's Old Florida Kitchen in Inglis. I always make sure that when I go out to eat I tip 20% and sometimes over depending on the price of my bill. It is extremely frusturating to work super hard and have people tip you poorly. No matter what you always run into your horrible tippers, but sometimes the good tippers make up for it!
ReplyDeleteSome times 20%, but a lot of times more - because my bill is usually so small :)
ReplyDeleteI'm normally a pretty decent tipper unless I get incredibly horrible service.
ReplyDeleteFor the most part I am a good tipper I think. No matter how bad the service you will get at least 15%, but as long as you come by and check with my table a couple of times I tend to give 20%.
ReplyDelete90% of the time i tip abou 25% or more no one get less than five dollars even if im at applebees for the half price apps. Unless they are rude dissrespectful then they get 12 cents and i have done that before and i smiled on my way out. So the way i see it is your nice and frendly there should be no reason why people dont tip you good.
ReplyDeleteTips are supposed to be given on service. When people from different countries come here some pretend that they don't know that they are supposed to tip. I tip very well. I was a server at a few times. I will make sure that my server gets a good tip. I have been to places where I see all these servers but mine only comes by 2 or 3 times. Once, I went out to eat and a server came to my table, introduced herself and took my order. Someone else brought it out to me (cold), another someone heated it up for me. She NEVER came back. I received my bill from someone else completely. So... What kind of tip should I have left her? That is the only server I never tipped.
