What kind of men? Like a tall man? Because I don't like tall people they freak me out. Does that include celebrities?

So democrats want governement to hand out monies to waiters and other poors, but not actually give it to them themselves?

I've always found this perplexing.

I don't believe the card/cash users. I mainly use cash, except for bigger/nicer meals. Many times I'll pay for a meal with my card, but tip in cash. I am a sap, so I tend to over tip every time (at least 20-25%). How would they capture those amounts? Especially when we know servers under report cash tips and what about tip jars?

Weird. I'm a female, Southern, Democrat and I was pretty well raised that you respect good service and reward it with a good tip.

Not saying this applies to you, but generally people that pay cash are going to low quality restaurants where the tips are lower, and generally people that pay cash don't have enough money to have a bank account, so they don't have a debit card or a way to pay a credit card

A certain group usually pays in cash and tips $2, regardless of how expensive the meal was

Hmm, they seem to have avoided an obvious breakdown where they could have crusaded against a stereotype.

From my experience the worst tipping demographic are teenagers.

Blacks are all or nothing. They either tip you really good or really bad

What I hate is what we call "After the Coupon/Comp" tippers

For example this past Saturday I had a table and it was the person's birthday, so on their birthday we mail them a coupon for $20 off their next visit. Anyway they bought $23.31 worth of food and with the $20 off their bill was $3.31.

frickers left me $0.66. That's not how it works. Unfortunately most people tip on the after-discount amount instead of before. $0.66 is 20% of $3.31 but they did it wrong.

I've been waiting tables for 12 years off and on

12 years ago hardly any blacks tipped. But these days more and more are tipping, probably trying to crush that stereotype. However, they are still far worse tippers than whites. They have just gotten better at it.

Tight wad.

If service is good I tip about 75% of the total. For poor service, I tip about 30
