Tipping

[XocolateThundarr]

Reading this thread makes me think some of you guys either have some really shitty kids or are just around a lot of shitty parents.

I absolutely do not tip at Sonic.

A homeless guy was making his rounds to the parked cars at sonic the other day, I didn't give him anything, does that make me a bad tipper?

no, BUT I HOPE YOU TIPPED YOUR SUPER ADORABLE AND SUPER CATS LOVING CARHOP

The ordering person never asked me if I wanted hot sauce when I ordered, but the carhop brought it just in case I wanted it, I did, very nice tip

I heard some guy tipped $10 at sonic last Saturday. Hopefully it went to some lucky k-state stud.

What if the ordering person didn't ask if you wanted hot sauce and you really wanted hot sauce and the carhop brought it just in case?

It is impossible for me to tip at Sonic. They do not have a "add tip" option on credit cards sales.

They do on debit cards

that's non-airline or hotel point earning. Now go back and re-read the entire credit card thread.

When I get my haircut I prefer the person cutting just shut up and cut my hair. Tip based solely on quality of haircut.

I like gratuity included services like uber. Some places add automatic gratuity to the meal and I like that better.

Rake, when i'm in Vegas next, i'm going to 

PLEASE DO! I remain hopeful that the big sys meetup is still a possibility.

if we meet up somewhere where there are servants bringing food or drinks, i'm not going to let you tip like this.

Tipped zero dollars tonight and totally got away with it 

[Institutional Control]

My dad is a terrible tipper.  I always make sure I slide an extra five or ten under my plate or offer to leave the tip when I go to dinner with my parents.

You're an awful person.

I've heard from friends at Sonic that this has dramatically reduced the tips they were used to making.

And Wacky- nothing is worse then taking care of a table where the parents don't care about the mess their kid is making and then leave a crummy tip.  Where I work we have "vintage flooring" so all that cut up food that got tossed around takes a good amount of effort to clean up.  This leads in to the whole "takes time away from other tables" idea. 

I feel like we need a thread like this for people in the service industry to vent and non service industry people can comment.

Question about the punishment tip: once you under tip like that you don't go back right?  I mean if they're still there and they remember you, then they might do bad things to your food in secret.  If I liked the food, I'd never do that.

Noted fact that servers "remember".  We have several people who come to the restaurant on a regular basis and always tip crummy.  When I was new and I got sat sometimes someone from the more veteran staff would pull me aside and give me the "That sucks, that table stays forever and tips lousy." I still give the expected service to those tables, but I don't waste my time trying to be their buddy or going the extra mile for them to have a great experience. 

A few times I decided to try and prove the veteran staff wrong and pull out all the stops.  90% of the time it was that same crummy tip.

It's tough to put a dollar value on a hug, tho.
