Wandering further off topic, in Montana there is a coffee chain called City Brew. A damned good cup of coffee and if you order an Expresso drink the water has to remain and an exact temp and water pressure through the entire brew or they dump it out and start all over. I watched them toss 8 cups of fresh brewed Expresso for my Americano because in the last 6 seconds the water temps dropped. I couldn't beg them to let it slide, they were not going to present a product that wasn't perfect. 

I dropped a tip on that drink. 

City Brew is awesome

My buddy used to be fairly connected to City Brew.  If I recall the story correctly, the owner is a f*cking nutbag.

Don't care the coffee is awesome.

I always either double the tax, or overtip.

I cant even imagine how much money ive wasted over the years. But then again, i get free drinks all the time, too.

Should the situation arise, Ten Ocho is ready to whip it out loaded and ready to fire.

Yeah, but you’re probably expected to put out.

Doubling the tax doesn't work here in Idaho. You'd only be leaving 12%.

I usually tip 20% for food service and round up. My wife sometimes gets angry at me. She says 15% is enough, and she was a server back in the day. She'll say, "the service wasn't that great." She's right, the service is usually not great but I still tip. I tell her, "hey, just spreading it around."

At fast food joints if their system lets you tip on I'll add 10% or something. At Starbucks I always shove a $1 bill into the jar even though the drink is only like $3. That's pretty good.

If I'm buying beers at a bar it's a buck a beer.

I tip the woman like 60% on my haircut. The haircut has about 30% veteran's discount but that's not her fault.

And tripling the tax doesn't work in Idaho because residents haven't learned their times 3 tables.

seeing lots of restaurants nowadays add in 4% on the bill as a forced tip and than you tip the obligatory 15% min

I guess the idea is "youre not a bad guy", so you wont have the nerve to do that.  Your attempt to get even with the restaurant only harms the waiter / waitress.

Sooner or later a dinner bill is going to look like a cable TV / cell phone bill.

Maybe I’m ignorant and don’t understand because I haven’t worked in the business, but I don’t see why the customers are supposed to tip people for doing their jobs.

While a valid thought process, the issue is the business model is designed for customers to pay salaries. Bartenders/servers make dick as far as a wage. The consensus is the patron pays their wages based on tips. Which is why they are taxed 18% or so on every bill regardless of whether someone tipped or not.

So what happens is people that work at Denny’s or Red Robin complain about tips and create the FB pages about tipping or stay home, while the person that does a good job for regs or works somewhere like Ruth Chris or some high end steakhouse where they always get tipped well never complain.

The good news is that you never have to work at TGIFridays and if you choose this line of work, you can choose any place to work or not choose the industry at all if the tips suck.

Seeing as how it's expensive as hell to go out anyway, I wouldn't mind paying an extra $1-2 on the plate and make the restauratuer just pay a good wage like most other "developed" countries.

Saw someone step it up a notch on social media. Some random dude was saying that if you don't tip in cash then it's not a real tip and you should not eat out.

[notherhalo]

waiter.org put out a press release stating that if you dont tip at least 25% youre a bitch and shouldnt be allowed in public

[Blarg]

They can go fuck themselves, most service is so poor it shouldn't receive 10%. But people keep tipping 20% at a fucking Applebee's that has a computer screen for ordering and payng the bill. Just stupid. 

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I also love those places that put out tip jars, when the extent of the service that you get is someone ringing up your order and handing you a bag.
