Fine, but when your provide me with shitty service, don't be surprised when I don't tip you greatly.
We have all been there before. I used to have a manager(who moved to another restaurant, unfortunately) who I would tip off if I thought I would have a problem table. She would them proceed to assist me with the table to make sure everything went smoothly, nothing went wrong and they got 5 star A+ service and food that came out perfect and exactly as they ordered it. Even then they would always find room to complain about the service and/or food in an attempt to get free food.
The "black people tip bad because they get bad service from white waiters who don't want to wait on them" myth is a lie. You can give perfect service to them and many will still complain.

The problem is that 90% of management give in to them out of fear.
Had one guy order a seafood platter ($30) from a coworker. When everyone's food came out, he decided he changed his mind and doesn't want that anymore. She explained that he can order whatever he wants, but he already ordered the seafood platter and it is on the table. They threw a fit. We still put it on the bill.
Dude paid with cash and purposely paid $30 less than the total. Was gone by the time she noticed.
She cried.

When I waited tables I would give African Americans my best effort just to see if I could garner a normal tip. In five years of serving tables I remember 2 incidents out of hundreds where I got above 15 percent.
I had this one table of 15 or so black women and we had a frigin blast, they were a ton of fun during the night and I thought I was going to make good on this table. of course they asked for sep checks and went it was done the bill was over 400 bucks for all of them and I got 10.61 cents. Never forgot that.

Not a lie for me.
My wife and I are both educated professionals. It is rare that we get a night out to ourselves, so we really look forward to going out. 90% of the time we have no issues.
Every once in a while we will get a server who clearly wants nothing to do with us for whatever reason. Now, when we look around and see you clearly being more attentive to your other customers and short changing us, don't expect a great tip.
Stereotype if you want, but i'm not going to tip you based off of black shame. We have tipped more then the meal cost when we were blown away by the great service, and I have had servers I didn't leave a penny.
Understand this, I don't control anybody else's actions except my own. All I ask is to be treated like you would treat any other man. You can carry any notions that you want, but just don't go bitching when I return the gesture.
