Tipping the people who handle your food.

Protection. From mad ass glares. Protection. For your stomach.

If you frequent at least one restaurant/food chain and you don't tip/tip poorly, chances are, you just might've ate something that ain't supposed to be there.

I was calling you lazy for not cooking not being cheap.

Tipping is at least in the US done because one most restaurants don't actually pay minimum wage to the servers because they get tips (yes this is legal), also the bill is actually used to help cover the expenses of the cooks and ingredients and overhead for the restaurant (gas, electricity, rent) most of the time it doesn't cover the servers jobs (because they are tipped)

I don't frequent restaurants enough for that to happen to me, and its not like I never tip. My bills are rarely steep, so I tip at least $5.



I cook on average 5 days a week.


So tipping gets done because servers don't get paid enough. Servers don't get paid enough because they get tipped. So tipping is a curse rather than a gift. No wonder the Japanese frowns upon it. Circular reasoning....my mind is blown.

Here some resturants don't want the tip (I have no idea why...) but generally I don't really tip in %, so I just toss a 5 on the table instead.

I always tip well at the bars and eateries I frequent, that way they will remember you and take care of you again.

my money

Pretty much what we do here.


On another note - call me naive if you want - I don't think I've ever heard the people 'handling your food' mixing in things that shouldn't be in the food just because of a lack of tips... any actual incident to back that up? Just wondering.

For tips no. We just give you bad to meh service. But the don't fuck with people who handle your food is for the cunts who are dicks and bitch on the small shit like ' ordered the steak medium not medium rare, are you stupid or something?'. You don't have to be a cunt if someone fucked up... just say i ordered it"". They will fix it with no problems.

I once had a cunt argue that her chicken was still raw when it was done perfectly.... bitch thought dry like a 90 year old grandmother vagina was done Or cook bacon should be so cooked it like glass sherds when bitten into. We will cook it to that but you need to ask for it to be super done. I ask them for my steak just to be cooked for a min on both side since i like it rare as fuck.

Just be civil and our gac burger will be just avocados. If you won't talk to your grandmother like that... don't with the people serving you.

I always tip 15% because it's a very reliable standard to give. Some places you can tip 20% but all up to you. As they say, tipping is what pays most of the other staff, also it just feels better to do so when service is good.

Circular reasoning = American reasoning

Here in Finland i rarely tip (because i rarely go out to eat), but mainly because 1st; we do not have a tipping culture, not the norm and 2nd: people serving your food get paid well enough, meaning that they don't have to rely on tips.

When travelling on countries where tipping is the norm i do tip, usually between 10%-20%, with the exception if service is bad, then i don't tip.
