Don't Forget the Tip!

I have nothing against tipping, but if you get bad service, you shouldn't be forced to.

If the gratuity wasn't provided why should you pay for it. Arrest the pub owners for extortion.

I completely thought this was a different thread by the title.....a bit disappointed.

Is there a way of getting it in without the tip? Or have you figured out a way to put it in backwards?

Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs said it best in terms of tipping.

i like to get the tip in right away. after that they usually get the shaft.

I accidentally tipped my waitress $40 on a $40 tab last Friday. It was supposed to be a $25 tip, because I was feeling gracious and we had won $25 at trivia that night (bar cash), but she did something weird with the bill, I was a little buzzed, got my math all screwed up, and the next day I realized I had tipped her $40. And this is probably my least favorite waitress at the bar. Nothing I could do about it though.

I'm sure Obama had something to do with it.

Most things are, but in this case it was my own drunken stupidity.

Thats fawked up yo!! Thanx for sharing ween!

Automatic tips on the bill reeks of communism to me, I hate it and would avoid those establishments. I work in a tip job and it has it's ups and downs but I understand if service isn't up to par then the guest shouldn't be forced to tip me anyway.

I agree but I used to bartend/wait tables when I was in school. Tips should only be included on the bill in large dinner parties of 8 or more. That's the way it was at every restaurant I worked in. Of course, I was an awesome waiter and had a way of presenting it this way--- I'd straight up tell them 15% is included with the final check, but I'd tell the patrons I provide better than "standard" service and if they agree with me they can always leave a little extra.

~~One year on mother's day I was working a double shift and one of my tables had the entire clan there and it turned out to be a table of 18. The father came to me as everyone was leaving and commented that I was an excellent server. He shook my hand and slipped me another $100 bill. I told him that the tip was included with the check ($75) and he said "I know."

Here why they should have been arrested.

“I understand that, you know, we didn’t pay the gratuity, but it was a gratuity, it wasn’t something that was required,” said Wagner.

Yes it was required dumb ass! LOL!

I've done this before. I even told the waitress that she sucked. She started giving me excuses and I shook my head and said that its not working.
