The image says it all...

full story

My take, why FVCK did you go out to eat b1tch???

 

[Sinsear]

Cheap bitch

 

[Red Storm]

If it was $1.38 I might understand, but $138?

 

[Sinsear]

Also, many cheap ATOT'ers will cheer this

 

[gorcorps]

I loled at the conspiracy theorists crying "fake!"

But I do have to admit that the handwriting on the tip line vs. bottom of the note looks different. *shrugs*

 

[Veliko]

Since when has someone not leaving a tip been news...?

 

[SagaLore]

Some readers were quick to point out that tipping is not the norm in other countries.

Yea, and those people serving your food go "home" to lean-to's and eat rice.

 

[purbeast0]

i just lol @ the waiters in the article crying about how hard it is and they deserve it.

if it's too hard for you, find a new job.

 

[effowe]

She could have fed herself and kids several times over by not going out, what a bitch.

My friend who makes 6 figures at Apple tipped a cab driver 30 cents before. I hate cheapasses. I'm not even a rich guy, but when I was in grad school if I went out and spent money, I tipped appropriately. Unless the service is horrible, there's no reason to give less than 15%.

And if you can't stand tipping, don't go out. Period.

If true, and if I owned the restaurant, she'd have a lifetime ban. I have no use for people like that, or their money.

Any right-thinking person hates the tipping culture in the service industry.

The cheapasses are the people who refuse to pay their staff properly.

Tipping serves no positive purpose at all. You can go to places like Sweden and Iceland, where tipping doesn't really exist, and the service will be no worse than what you get in the US.

 

[Mixolydian]

Some people are assholes, plain and simple.

I agree and I don't go out 99.9% of the time because I'm a cheap ass. But if I do go out I tip 15%.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I don't have any kids, I am not female, I am gonna try this excuse anyhow.

 

[SandEagle]

...

oh shut up with this already. there is no law that says don't go out if you aint gonna tip. people get stiffed all the time. bfd.

 

[KeithTalent]

They should be able to post the pictures of people like this on the wall of restaurants like they used to do with those who passed bad cheques, so then you can turn them away at the door. Damn deadbeat cheapskates.

i'd leave no tip before i tipped 30 cents. tipping 30 cents is almost like rubbing salt on the wound.

but if i ever get shitty enough service to warrant me tipping nothign, i will do it. i've never done it before, but i've definitely left below 15% when i had below-par service.

my 'normal' tipping is around 18%.

I had a gift card of $20, service was bad, so I left the .18 as the tip.

not sure if serious...

the customer wrote the message on the tip line. that message at the bottom of the note was written by the waitress.

edit: i obviously didn't read the article first, but the way i understood it makes more sense to me. oh well.

Sure it does, so maybe it's just a culture difference. With tips, good wait staff can earn pretty solid money considering. Bad wait staff presumably get less or no tips so they make barely minimum wage. So there's a pretty big reason to do your job well. If we changed to a zero tip type of pay structure I would expect to see a lot shittier service on average because it doesn't affect that person if they do well or not. It might be different if tipping was never part of this society, but since it already is I think taking it away would be a huge misstep.
