( if anyone cares
you give me average service.. nothign horrible, nothign great, you get an average tip.. roughly 10 percent. if you cna be bothered to make me happy, i'm not going to bother doing the math.
you do a great job. .you make me happy... you smile and you make me smile... i've left 100% tips before.
heh.. ive ordered a coke and a plate of wings and left a 100 on the table....
but.. if you are surly and cranky.. if i have to wait for things i should wait for .. if you give me poor service , you get a poor tip.
the worse the service, the less likely you get a tip at all.
i understand hte point of whoever it was that said they leave a tip no matter how bad the service was...
.. but i don't agree with it.
you do a crappy job at aork, and still expect to get good pay?
how does NO grab ya?
i don't reward poor performance, no matter who i get it from. i don't buy a new video game for my kids when they get a D on a report card.
to leave a tip even when the service is bad is just stupid.
Trash, someone called me.. because i am one of the ones who refuses to reward poor service.
ok.. fine. i'm trash. but, i am not encourageing bad service. if they get tips for being a crappy server, why would they bother getting better?
i may be trash, but at least i'm not an idiot.
the idea of 15% for me is a guildline... it's where i start. you blow me away, you get better tips. if you suck, you get nothing.
yes, i tip pizza drivers... IF i get what i ordered ( i don't blame a badly or wrongly made pizza on the driver.. he's only responsible for getting it and the drinks et al to me..)
i tip the kids that take the groceries to the car (yes.. some places still do that).
i tip the lady that cuts my hair.
on the rare occasions i used a taxi, i tip the driver...
*IF* they do a job worthy of a tip.
if i do a crap job, i don't expect a tip. if i want a tip, i work for it.
