Okay I get it money’s tight these days but if you can afford to eat out expect to leave a fucking tip after you pay for your food! Us servers and food attendants that slave over hot grills prepare your food and give you courteous service. Think twice when someone gives you your change back and maybe drop your quarter in the tip jar. To those of you that do tip and are generous and leave your loonies, toonies and some times bills you are the inspiration for good karma! The only enjoy enjoyment I get out of you non tippers is giving you the finger as you leave with your jingling fucking change in your pocket. That being said if you can’t afford to leave at least a quarter don’t bother eating out! —Angry Server

Just shut the fuck up and give me my pack of menthols. Yeah, I’ll take the one with the flaccid penis with the glass rod shoved up it. Have a nice day >: )
The generous tippers make up for the shortfall of those that don’t tip, so stfu you spoiled brat.
Oh fuck you you whiny, entitled little shit. I shoveled out a barn for $6.40 an hour when I started my working life and I guarantee dealing with bitchy horses and ass-cannoning chickens is harder than slinging cheap beer and soggy fries, and I got dickall extra for that.
Know what my last job was? Tattooing, where I could expect to rake in 2-50 bucks in *individual* tips, and I acted just as grateful for the fucking toonie. Know why? Because it wasn’t something I deserve, it wasn’t something I’m entitled to, it was a thankyou gift. Fucking Christ.
As long as they pay their bill , tipping is a perk not a requirement in Canada.
Look at it this way if everyone stops going there…would you have a job ?
Why would you be employed ?
Its not like yer serving paying customers…in reading your bitch, it seems you only want to serve tipping customers & there is no requirement for that …so go back to where ever it is you come from where tipping is manditory. Have a safe trip back there.
Tipping rules:
If you get table service, you should tip. (here it’s 15-20%, but in Canada it should be at least 10% unless the service-something the server controlled- is just horrible.)
If you order food at a counter, even if the the food is served but you to bus your own table, tipping is optional.
I tip the hairdresser $10 a visit and tip the newspaper delivery person $30-50 every Christmas. I tip $5 for home delivery, regardless of the cost of the food, unless it’s over $60-rare these days-haven’t had a sushi party in years. At a bar, I tip $1 for the first round if it’s a cash bar. That’s usually the only drink I’ll buy all night, but the bartender is attentive to those who want to buy me another.
cheers!
I always tip something if the service is at least decent. If they are very good, they get a better tip. If the server swears at me or my dining companions, or drops food on me and doesn’t apologize, I wouldn’t tip a cent (well, maybe just a penny to add insult :D).. It’s simple.
OB: Maybe some customers don’t tip you because you’re unprofessional or just a bad server (you seem like the type to bitch about your job/customers with co-workers while customers are around). Maybe they see your true colours and your bad attitude and decide that you’re not deserving of a tip. Or maybe they’re just cheap bastards. But for one reason or another they decided not to tip you.
My point is that there is probably a different reason than being cheap as to why they don’t tip you.
And if you’re really giving paying customer the finger for not tipping you, I bet other customers see that and won’t tip you either. You sound like a total self-entitled bitch.

Keep your bullshit superstition/OCD to yourself, Flo. Kissing your grits doesn’t cause anything cosmically.
You do your job well and stop giving the PAYING CUSTOMERS THE FINGER, and we’ll talk about your tip, okay?
Self entitled twat, personified.
Wp
hahaha, ftw
Blow me, OB. I worked for my money and nobody gets to tell me how to spend it but me. Now smile real big and make me my one of a kind “sandwich art”, hold the pickle… bitch!
Tipping should be illegal for a few years… Then maybe the twats who think they’re entitled would appreciate it a bit more.
PS OB: eat my dick and suck on my low hanging slappers while you’re at it.
No table service, no tip. It’s that simple. And Emily Post approved.
Can you tie em in a knot? Can you tie em in a bow?
“Tipping rules:”
Fuck that shit. Overrated jibberish.
Nope. Sorry. Your employer hired you to do your job and pays you to do it – I pay your employer for the food I eat and the service I get – if he can’t pay you enough based on the prices he sets then you are working at the wrong place.
Tips are a GRATUITY meaning that I am being gracious and thanking you for something. Bringing me food that I paid for to be cooked and prepared is your job, not something that you do to be nice. If you go above and beyond then yes.. you will get a gratuity from me.
Example: I went to a non-reservation restaurant for my birthday and expected 10 friends to come out – I had the staff put together some tables for us and we had a good portion of the upper level occupied for about 4 hours. The waiter was really excellent at making sure anyone who showed up had a drink, and he even remade my friends drink twice and didn’t charge her when it wasn’t what she wanted. We weren’t pushed into leaving – everyone had a great time with great service. I left the guy a 30% tip because he went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable – even the ones who just had water.
I work in a customer service role, I book appointments for clients and I clean up after their personal training appointments – I go out of my way to make sure that they have water available and that their equipment has been sanitized. I watch their kids while they change for classes, I call them when they don’t show up for a few weeks.. my boss pays me well, but I don’t expect (and I don’t get) tips. How is what I do any different than what your average waitress/waiter gets? I do what I do because *gasp* it’s my JOB!
if service is good, and waiter/tress is nice, give a fucking tip. if crumby service and server, then give none, simple, what.
Don’t dwell on the bad customers, just be thankful for the good ones. If you want to waitress just do your job the best you can and things should fall in your favour, generally speaking. If the cheapskates get to you that much, find a different occupation.
fuck YOU – NO TIP!
like the pizza boy – NO Tip motherfucker. Shit cost 7 dollar but he gonna charge me minimum of 10 to deliver. I don’t give away free money…so I said throw in a diet pop so it brings it to the $10. Only he conveniently brings me regular pop so I have to pay the full fucking price. Yeah I’m onto the dumb “want your change back?” looks too. You make a wage don’t you? Pissed that you didn’t get to supplement it more? TOUGH SHIT DEES A RECESSIONNNN!
Let’s round up all the fucking tipping bitches and make a fucking worse selling novel out of it.
I tip the city a couple of hundred smackers every month, I think I’m getting arse reamed.
You make minimum wage like everyone else. Fuck you
Perhaps those who do not tip you should be your inspiration to move along to a better paying job, perhaps in a place where you do not need to interact with the public. Your ‘people skills’ seem to be lacking somewhat.
I tend to tip in most places, fairly well in many, but after reading your gripe and whine I can only hope I have never tipped you. Greedy or what. How about you try and get more out of your boss – good luck with that. Sheesh!
Fuck you you fucking cocksucker. Just once I’d like to see one of these waitstaff fuckers tell us where they work so I can avoid it.
Please say it isn’t Armview, Shoe Shop, Wooden Monkey, Fid.
I would like to say though, that it is thanks to The Coast and LTWWB that I am more discretionary with my tipping. No longer do I arbitrarily hand out tips. Those that do a good job are tipped well, those that barely function in their job, not so much. Thanks Waiters and Waitresses of The Coast! You’ve saved me money and put more money into the pockets of those who deserve it.
True story Cranky! I also gained new insights from reading these types of posts.
I just have to throw in one more Fuck You. There are a lot of people, myself included, that work our asses off for shitty wages, and tips aren’t part of the job. You’re an asshole.
you’re panhandling at the till, not serving, you deserve nothing extra for doing the job you are already being paid to do and your attitude sucks so suck you little entitled twat. Try paying less attention on how other people spend their own damn money and be happy they’re in your shop at all so you can continue making your minimum wage.
Attitude Attitude Attitude—-a lot of us tip based on the attitude of the server, YOU would be surprised at the effect of attitude on what is expected service. Plopping a plate in front of a customer and then forgetting about them until bill time is a sure way to get no tip.
“attitude”? do you mean grovelling? You should be tipping on the service, not the attitude! (TIPS is an acronym “to insure prompt service”)
In my 20s, I was a professional waiter moving seasonally between Vermont (4 star resort) to Florida (5 star resort). I’ve waited on more famous people than you have even seen in your life. I’ll never forget when some monkey (waitstaff are as snobby as the staff on Downton Abbey-we divided our clients into monkeys and lions!) crumpled up a $50 and tossed it in the general direction of his waiter. Bodo, the maitre d’hotel who went only by his first name, said in his perfect scathing Austrian accent: “our vaiters are not accsuztomed to groveling for zere teeps.” It was a moment. Monkey picked up the bill, flattened it out and gave it to the waiter, apologizing.
This particular waiter and I drove back and forth (straight through) between FL and VT, and we loved to stop at truck stops for a cup o joe and a sinker (and a shower) en route. I loved the truck stop waitresses. They weren’t obsequious, but their cheerful “If it ain’t snappy, we ain’t happy” attitude was something to look forward to.
Some of your replies crystallize why I left the business. Like when you check back on a table “Is everything to your liking?” and the customer says “It’s fine—SO FAR!” Well, whuddya think, you’re going to bite into something bad?
Just because someone is serving you a meal, they are not your servant. Respect goes two ways, Biatch.
I think you left the business because you couldn’t hack it. As a ‘professional’ waiter (snort) you would have known quite early on in your ‘career’ that there are diners out there who will say “It’s fine—SO FAR!”, and accept that as a fact of life.
If someone is serving me, they are my servant.
considering you learn all the technical skills of waitressing by about grade 3…
listening and writing legibly… walking while holding a plate level… basic addition….
it seems to be the finesse in your profession you’re missing.
Smile, be nice, attentive, and do what you get paid for ACTUALLY WELL for a change and you may just see some extra cheddar coming your way.
I am counter staff, and honestly do not care if I get a tip, I am grateful when it is give, tho I usually put it back in the till if pennies ( that is my main complaint, if you didn’t want the pennies don’t ask for them back). We counter staff get it from all sides. Shitty ass customers, managers who do not see the real picture. Yeah, well worth the cash we make. Oh and to the people who say “quit, and find something better.” STFU, we are there because we can not afford the schooling, or can not find that 900$/hr job you have.
