Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

I was merely trying to interpret that gif you chose to post instead to type words like a normal human being attempting to take part of a conversation on a message board.

Apparently you're still fucking mystified that some people can do good work without the carrot of a tip.

Oh, let me help you interpret that gif.

That was me sarcastically dipping out of any conversation with you. Why? Because the implication that servers (or any customer service agent, really) around the fucking globe don't make racial/cultural judgements of their potential clients is absolutely ridiculous. Asserting that eliminating tipping would combat this problem doubles down on the lunacy. It's so ridiculous in fact, that I had very little motivation to write a post in rebuttal. Then, without knowing anything about me, you tell me I need to 'travel more' like some snotty 20-something co-ed with wanderlust (CANCUN 2013 CHICKAS!!!).

Judging by the quality of your arguments in general, and the way you conduct yourself while participating in one, what you are hearing from me now is what numerous people in your life probably want to tell you, but don't. Most people like you go through life thinking they are smarter than they are, all the while being blissfully ignorant of their numerous intellectual faceplants. Most people are just too nice for that. I on the other hand, have no patience today to deal with your type. Also, internet. I have no desire to craft a response for you, where I'd have to handhold you through your multiple nonsensical arguments. It probably wouldn't matter anyway.

In short, go fuck yourself.

The best service I've ever had was in Cancun. And when you get there they clearly tell you: "Please do not tip the waiters, cooks, servers, bartenders, etc."

The only people they tell you should be tipped are the people handling your bags or cleaning your room.

That's called an all inclusive resort you hayseed.

Yes, that's exactly my point, thank you. You pay one price and they are 'suppose' to divide up everything. It could be the same way when you walk into a restaurant.

Right, all restaurants should be just like an all inclusive resort. In fact there's some that are very much like that which are probably right up your alley. The buffet at shit like Bonanza or Golden Corral. I'm sure the wait staff in those places are plenty used to being stiffed as well, so you'll fit right in.

Take a tip from me and just tip 15% regardless of the service. It makes you feel shitty sometimes but you have to tip the balance away from the people who tip based on appearance. Having talked to my friends in the service industry, the shit that's being discussed here re: profiling is just the tip of the iceberg.

Is there a reason you're being an asshole? I never said I don't tip when I go out.


Here's a tip for you: Go blow a goat.

Does he have to tip the goat afterward, or should he expect a tip from the goat?

speaking of tipping.. I have some guys waterproofing my basement. They work for an established company. I'm assuming they make a decent wage, that's not something you guys would tip on?

All these stupid fucking comparisons to waitresses.

That's a contracted job, why would you tip on that?

Because it feels good to help out those people with hard shitty jobs who's performance directly effects you. I wish I could deduct 15% to 20% on everything I purchase or service I recieve based on my satisfaction. Fuck you Comcast, no tip this month since I fucking Dc'd during a dungeon.
