No. I have noticed that almost all people in the service industry all complain about bad tips when they get bad tips....whether they are deserved or not and regardless if they are good or bad at their job.

If they take too long or make me a horrible drink, I'll pay for the drink and walk out.

Btw, the same shite goes on all across the service industry

They never take to facebook to talk about those times when they were undeservedly overtipped.

If I'm paying cash instead of card at a bar, I'll usually tip a dollar every other time, starting with the first one. I mean all they're doing is handing me a beer, so it's not like it takes effort, but I feel like it's shitty not to tip. So at the end of the night I will have given them what, like 4 or 5 bucks? Who cares, it's really not that big a deal in the long run.

Don't these idiots know that tipping isn't automatic and if you give me shitty service, I have right to not tip you.

I love the people that post pictures on social media bitching about how someone with a $100 tab only left a $10 tip. Those kinds of people are the ones who probably have an attitude and think tips should be automatic. No, if you're a terrible fricking server with a terrible attitude, you won't get jack shite.

right, if i order a $1,000 bottle of champagne, why does the bartender "automatically" get $200 for doing the same amount of work as if i ordered a bottled water

In general people are terrible bartenders due to the fact that they have shitty attitudes. They get what they deserve. They end up stuck at shitty places serving what are most likely shitty customers.
Bartenders with good attitudes move on to better places and deal with far less assholes.

Kind of cool out it works out like that.

Because if you're spending that much money on champagne, then you are obviously an elitist prick who should be happy to give that money to the worker because they need it!

You can give good service and still get stiffed. My wife's uncle is the gm of a big restaurant, and I've seen it happen plenty of times.

And there's nothing wrong with that. That's the customers choice that he's entitled to.

Actually there is. But this is the OT, so I wouldn't expect everyone to agree with that.

If a tip is a requirement then put it on the bill.

It's right there on the payment slip, so it kind of is. Anyone that isn't willfully ignorant knows that servers make $2.xx an hour. If you can't tip for good service, you have no business eating out. You're taking money directly away from someone's livelihood.

Yea sure, that's technically your choice. But you have to be ignorant to make that choice.

This all goes out the window for bad service obviously.

Good god I hate how people think.

The customer did not make the waiter/waitress be in that job

The customer is not the waiters and waitresses boss. He is not responsible for their pay.

Stop blaming the customers. Blame the system and the people signing those checks. Blaming the customers is such a hypocritical thing to do in a customer service industry.

It's what is called customary. Like lots of things in life, you learn to act like society says you should or stay home in your trailer park so we don't have to be around your trashy arse.

I tip. I tip well. I have a job that I get paid in tips

I have no problem with tips

I have a problem with the expectation of a tip and anger towards people who don't do something "customary".

But please, continue with the ad hominem to make yourself feel better
