Tipping rules


Hotsauce

Recommended Posts

I have noticed a common theme amount restaurants like Moes. When you use a credit card, there is a line for a tip. Today, I went to Roly Poly sandwich shop and walked up to the counter, ordered a sandwich, chips and a fountain drink. I got my own chips, filled my own drink, and when i heard my name, got my food.

It has always been my view that you tip for good service, or if someone goes out of their way to please you. So I tip a restaurant where I sit down and food/drink is bought to me. I also tip at a car wash when the guy goes out of his way to work extra hard on my rims, or I tip a caddie when golfing, etc....

However I choose not to tip at these restaurants where I have to serve myself. How do you guys feel about this?

Also, how about the bathroom attendants? I was in the bathroom at the airport in Charlotte, and some dude was just standing around grabbing towels....I should be able to choose to get my own!

i've wondered about this too. the cooks are paid like cooks. the cashier is surely paid like a cashier. seems like every business just has their hand out these days.

i typically give a dollar and change though, but mostly cuz i'm confused as to what to do. like 1.50 to make 8.50 an even 10. not sure who gets that money.

"I’ve noticed a growing trend in the world of eating out, specifically for restaurants like:

* take-out joints for lunches

* smoothie shops

* ice cream parlors

* sandwich shops

* pizza places (non-delivery)

For years, these take-out establishments have been content with setting their prices to cover their expenses and make a healthy profit. Somewhere along the line, a genius business person came up with the idea that putting a tip line on the receipt and forcing people to sign for the transaction might boost profits!"

In my opinion, a tip is something asked for and received when a service is performed—in the case of restaurants, that’s the act of cooking, serving, busing, seating, etc. But one can also make the case that a lot of those things are happening when we visit some of these smaller joints.

"I base my decision on the simple fact that these places have never before asked for tips. That leads me to believe that this is nothing but a move to increase per-check totals and boost revenue, not a genuine move to “reward” the service of employees."

I leave a dollar because:

A. I'm not poor

B. I'm not cheap

C. I've worked in restaurants before

D. Because in two weeks when I look at my CC statement, the $9 meal won't feel any different than the $8 meal I could have had w/out tipping

E. All of the above

Assume at lunch you left $1 everyday mon-fri for a year....that's $260 a year!

Or if you eat out lunch twice a week, $104 a year

    • lol this is hilarious after those stays with this roster man what…..you gotta be joking right so you don’t see little man miss about 2-3 easy big plays a game? Man IMO Canales would look like a hellava offensive coach if he had a QB who could deliver on time and accurate passes all around the field. The numbers would look good if he’d could actually get the ball to the open wrs on this team. We have talent all over the field ilthose numbers should be much much better if you can’t see it you’re scared to admit the truth. He consistently has missed WRs who should either have 30+ yards or TDs added to their resume this season.  He may get better but since he hasn’t lived in the gym yet and formed and developed his NFL body his weak arm hasn’t gotten stronger the competition has gotten faster and better. It worked it college it doesn’t work well in the pros. I’ve been furious with Bryce for that reason he had to see he doesn’t have all them physical tools as other QBs so he should bulk up to his maximum ability to add a little muscle to his frame which could definitely help his throws get there a little better. You don’t remember Horn Jr having to slow down and turn around a couple weeks ago because the ball took forever to get to him while he waited wide open that ball hits him in stride he’s able to put that defender in the got dam blender and score. It’s just another example of Bryce’s arm  not being able to zip passes to his wide receivers but with all that said it’s clear he’s not the guy. He a couple ticks below average this roster is ready to put up points shut down opponents were just not able to run the full playbook bc lil man can’t sling it all around the yard it’s clear as day.
    • I have to admit, I was on the Trey Lance wagon.  While he's obviously not ever going to be a franchise QB1, I'm still curious about him as a bridge QB/QB2.
    • They're similar in that rushing the passer really isn't their forte. They can impact the pass rush by collapsing the pocket and opening up opportunities for others and sometimes get the sack themselves but sacking the QB isn't what either does best. Jenkins also had the benefit of having MUCH better edge rushers who prevented the QB from escaping the pocket to the outside. Rookie Peppers had 12 sacks on one side and Rucker had 10 on the other. I honestly put them roughly equal as pass rushers. They're not sack monsters but they definitely impact the QB.
