[QUOTE="Black2010, post: 15544065, member: 126428"] Shoot, tipping is out of hand and by reading this thread it proves it even more. Now everyone is expecting a tip for doing the job they are paid for. The only exception to that is wait staff (or other professions that make less than min wage). If you make a full wage then I'm not tipping unless you did something above and beyond. If I order take out and you bring it then you just did the job you were being paid for which I already paid for in paying my bill. I do believe in tipping for good service (I waited tables for 4 years in college) but with the attitude of most wait staff these days it's hard for me to give a good tip. Maybe it's just my location. Things normally go like this: - Get sat and wait 10 mins to get my drink order taken. - wait another 10 mins to get my drinks - order taken - Wait 30-45 mins for food (not all waiters fault). Don't see waiter again until food is delivered while my drink is empty. - Food is brought to table (normally a runner) - wait 10 mins for the waiter to check on us. Ask for a refill on my drink (customer should never have to ask for this) - wait 10 mins for the waiter to refill my drink - finish eating and have to wait for the check, but finally get it - put my CC with the check and wait for the waiter to come back - waiter comes back with the paid bill - we leave and BEFORE WE REACH THE DOOR the waiter is picking up the bill to look at their tip and leaves all plates for the buser. In the whole time, the only quick response of the staff if to see their tip. This is normal behavior where I'm at and no it's not because we are bad tippers (happens even on the first visit). Staff feel entitled to their tips now and that is because we allow them to be. Sorry for the rant but tipping gets under my skin especially since I came from the industry and I know how hard I had to work for 10% tips vs how little they do today and expect 20%+. [/QUOTE]
