this idea that all servers must be tipped has gotten increasingly worse over the years, and this is coming from someone that worked in the food industry for a while. tips should be reserved for GREAT service. you shouldn't have to look at your bill and automatically tack on at least 20%, especially if the service is terrible.

I received terrible service yesterday at a BWW and left a 2 dollar tip. oh and this whole taking a picture of someones bill and posting it on social media thing is ridiculous too. it just goes to show that servers think they're entitled a tip regardless of their service because they're busy and it's hard work. 

I understand that some servers make a minimum wage salary and rely on tips to make ends meat, but that should inspire them to give excellent service and be very cautious of how they treat customers and handle apologizing or making up for their mistakes before the bill is paid. 

Some places, from my understanding, pay servers less than minimum wage. The difference is supposed to come from tips, as these are service jobs...

So... that's a whopping $2.13 an hour in NC...

But you just can't bring yourself to tip well because Susie took too long to fetch your food or didn't refill your drink 100 times because you're storing fluids in your humps like a camel?

If you can't tip at least 10%, stay your entitled, uppity, worthless self at home... IDGAF how much money you make...

Most people get it. Bad service = no tip. 

I don't care that the server makes their money off tips. Want a good tip, do your job, which isn't difficult. 

I don't ask much from my waiter/waitress. Timely, friendly service, keep the drinks filled, and communicate any problems. 

If you can't do that, then ya shouldn't be in the business.

would pie this twice if I could...

Most of the people here agreeing with DWill probably generally tip around 10-15% for even great service.
 

exactly

 

ignorance abound.

 

The type of people that sit around waiting for the server to make a mistake so they can all look at each other, silently nod their heads and leave a crap tip while feeling like a social justice warrior.

AND if the service was spectacular?  They'd probably leave like $10 at at most, no matter how big the bill is.

servers seem to think they are entitled to a mim. Tip, regardless of service. 

That attitude can kiss my ass.

If you were forced to work a minimum wage job basically being people's slave for 45 minutes or more, you'd think you were entitled to at least minimum wage. That's $7.25 an hour, and I illustrated that, in several states, these people get $2.13 and hour.

Throw in a swamped time frame, undependable co-workers, poor management, etc. and add in people with the shitty mindset of "oh these servers (slaves) are so entitled" and you get a big effing problem...

why can i short a server for poor service but i can't short the establishment for poor food. like if mcdonalds gives me a burger that doesn't look like it does in advertisements i should be able to walk out the door with it without paying and without the police getting involved

Because it's not theft if I don't tip. Make it a law to tip 15% and I'll tip 15%. Otherwise I'll treat a DISCRETIONARY TIP as what it is - discretionary.

No the law should be that workers should make minimum wage, no matter the industry... Then you can all tip the size of your peckers and nobody will give much of a poo how small it is...

I know some black folks (and some are waiters/waitresses too) that say black people are just terrible tippers, regardless of service provided.  Obviously this is a stereotype but I've never really been refuted when I ask black people this (and not just a handful).    Anyone else run into this and why do you think it's a thing, if it is?   Maybe a tinderbox question but I'm legit curious.

 

Anyway, me personally, even if bad service, I usually leave a normal amount, I don't think I've ever left nothing, ever.  I just feel bad if I do, and, really just don't know what that person is going through that day, at their home, with their kids, etc.   I've been fortunate and never had to work a job for tips (not putting those folks down at all, because I couldn't do it) and I could only imagine having to earn like that and have a job having to be nice the whole time, every day.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
