Do You Tip the Waiter or Deliveryman?

These threads always remind me of the circumcision ones because it usually devolves into Americans and non-Americans and cultural differences.DJ_Lae

You heard it here first - the circumcised are more likely to tip.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="SgtKevali"]

But on average, who's more likely to give money away, someone who has it, or someone who doesn't?

But can't you see how lack of $ could be a motivating factor for not tipping? I'm not saying it's like that for all people, but I can definately see how lack of $ would cause someone to do that.

ok maybe I don't have the full picture. But don't people order food because they want cheap, fast food? and a considerable amount of college students fit this description? I mean as a college student, I find myself with a really really tight budget 99% of the time. But about my statement being empty, no its not. If its your money, you get to decide whether you want to tip or not. Don't get me wrong, if I lived in the US I would totally tip because I believe its a good thing to do. But what I'm saying is that it should not be an obligatory give away.GazaAli

Food that you tip for isn't really cheap or fast. You don't tip at or Burger King.

[QUOTE="testfactor888"]You really do get overly angry in these debates on the forums. You need to chill out and calm down already. I stick by what I said I won't tip people anymore unless its extraordinary service because they might just be a self-entitled person such as yourself who doesn't deserve 1 dollar of a tip. You are a very rude person Geezer and I woulden't doubt you have not been tipped on many occasions but I can see why through the way you talk to people. Regardless the 2 dollar service charge on a pizza is a bit much when someone is just as capable to go down and pick it up. You might consider it a small pittance but it adds up fast. In closing please get over it alreadyMrGeezer

And before they made that service mandatory, you were perfectly happy to request the extra service being performed and then simply flat-out refusing to pay for it.

Now you're trying to justify refusing to pay other people for the services they perform. And your whole justification is that they MIGHT be a jerk. Yeah, they MIGHT be a jerk. They also DID perform the service that you requested from them. Have you ever hired someone to fix your car, allowed him to finish fixing your car, and then said, "you might be a jerk, so I'm not going to pay you"?

If you can't afford a tip then I don't see how you can afford to eat at a restaraunt or order delivery food. If you're that poor then take that money and go to the store where you can get enough food to make a few meals.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"]Threads like this make me rage so I will recuse myself. All I will say is, if you can't afford a tip, ****ing drive and pick it up, they don't expect a tip at carryout THOUGH YOU CAN TIP THERE TOO.testfactor888

I always tip well.

I remember at one restaurant my daughter didn't like the multi-grain bread that came with her meal (some sort of fancy grilled cheese platter). It was the only type of bread they served. When the waitress asked my daughter why she wasn't eating her sandwich, my daughter told her. We told the waitress it wasn't a big deal and that there was plenty of other food on her plate that was to her liking, and would fill her up. Next thing, we see the waitress exit the restaurant and cross the street to a bakery. Shortly after, she comes back to our table with a new sandwich for my daughter (grilled cheese on white bread). Mega-tip for her.

You are suppose to tip a delieveryman? what for? its there job, to bring me my package/pizza, thats wat I paid for already? I used to tip me barber but they be hiking up the prices for hair cuts, so I stopped like 3 years ago. I only tip waiters when its a cute gilr, or a really nice person, but its usually always like 3 bucks :P I dont understand why I have to tip them, they already get paid to give me the item I paid for. It would make more sense if you had to tip the cheff/cook since they are making the food for you. I would gladly tip the cheff if the food is good enoughJ-WOW

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="testfactor888"] Never will I ever tip for carry out. They don't deserve a dime for that service. In the long run you are just perpetuating the self-entitlement that others have put on so thick in this thread when it comes to tipping. People want a tip they better deliver good service. If they don't they deserve nothingtestfactor888

[QUOTE="testfactor888"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] hahaha you're trying to say a carryout person can't do a good job? you try juggling 10 people ordering in person as well as not burning/dropping food and come back here without YOUR goddamn entitlementJandurin

Nope you are just basically wanting to cry about it because you feel entitled about your tips. You keep going around with that holier than thou attitude and feeling that those "tips" are required when in the long run they aren't. You don't deserve a dime unless you perform a good job.

[QUOTE="testfactor888"] Don't tell me how to spend my money. I eat out maybe once every 2-3 months and on average I use the money I have to get as much food as possible since its my "treat". If I can't afford a tip sucks for them but I don't caretestfactor888

uh yes, i tip, im not a jerk. here in the US if someone serves you all night at a table or delivers food to your door you leave them a tip. i try to tip over 15% b/c i know theres people out there who don't and thats pretty *insert expletive*

10 percent is a perfectly viable tip but apparently you want to put someone down for it. People make me sick when they act like how you are about tips. You aren't entitled to them just for working the job you have to provide good service. I am sure you diden't provide terrible service to these people who gave you fantastic tips and in the long run you earned that money more than likelytestfactor888

lol why does that matter? seriously? why, is it different in where you live? or do I give you the impresion of a typical arrogant american "USA! USA! USA! **** Yeah!" type of guy?J-WOW

I refuse to tip just because its the norm unless they provide above "norm" service

testfactor888

Please tell me you never spat in someone's food. Or if you did, you at least brushed first. Trouser food would be acceptable because I find it hilarious.T_P_O

because a lot of places in the USA pay less than minimum wage to their wait staff, subsequently delivery drivers often get ONLY minimum wage and have to use just that minimum wage not only for every day living, bills, etcbut also gas and car repairs so that they can bring you your food. ive been both, theres a reason for tipping.

Of course it matters, from what I understand, the waiters there for example aren't paid minimum wage and rely on tips to make up for that. T_P_O
