None because I don't tip to begin with

>>17138510
If they’re a dick to me or give exceptionally poor service I won’t tip. Happens about once every two years for me. The best was I was at this fancy bar and racked up a big bill and put the cash in one of those little booklets. I left a big tip. I was sitting at the bar and the bartender wouldn’t leave me alone while I was waiting for our uber so I asked for the book back (it had been sitting next to him with the money in it) and I took back all the tip in front of the guy and left.

I'm very self conscious. If I'm tipping less than 15%, I almost run out of there after signing the receipt because I feel like I'm gonna be confronted baka

The only time I left $0 was at a pizza place. Waiter came buy took the food and drink order, came back with drinks, never saw him again. Kitchen staff brought the pizza, had to wave over a manager to get the tab.

>>17138510
bussing tables already pays like $20~25/hr here, i'm not giving the lazy cunts any more money.

>>17138510
Really fucking bad.
They'd have to go out of their way like they're trying to get fired and fuck up the place's reputation.
I had a waitress drop a plate of food in my lap on accident one time and I still tipped her. She apologized profusely but I wasn't even slightly annoyed. She obviously had some kind of wrist or elbow injury and that shit just gave out on her at the worst possible moment. From her wince of pain it was clear she really did give it her all trying to salvage it as it was on the way down, but if a joint goes, it just goes and that's that. I've been there.

>>17139124
Honestly fucking up like this doesn't bother me nearly as much as the waitress just acting like a cunt.

>>17139137
Same.
Everyone fucks up, that's fine. I've fucked up, they've fucked up, and we'll all fuck up again. That's whatever.
That cunty attitude though, that shit gets on my nerves. I'm the chillest least demanding customer they'll ever have so if they're like that to me of all people, then I can't imagine how bad they are for the normal tier customers and beyond.

Any slight or sign of disrespect I don't tip. 50% + of the cost of the food is paying for service. I can make most of the stuff better myself anyways, so I wouldn't go out to be disrespected.

>>17138524
Sure kid

If they fuck up that bad and they're shitheels I just walk. And that's only happened once for me. Otherwise I've never gotten shitty service.

>>17138510
I generally subtract a dollar for every fuck-up.
But I also don't mind giving a holler to call them over for something. I have no expectations for them to read minds, after all.

>>17139247
The really good ones actually are mind-readers though.

>>17138510
One time I received my food 20 minutes after the rest of the table, that's the only time I didn't tip.

>>17138510
I paid my way thru undergrad waiting tables. I tip very well. To get less than ~30%, you have to a colossal douchebag. Human error doesn't cost the server unless it's one fuckup after another.

If she breathes in my presence, she forfeits the tip.

If my dick gets sucked I might consider dispensing with extra money for services rendered, but otherwise I trust the price on the menu to not be a lie.

>>17138510
insanely badly, I've worked in the service industry before and I sympathize with them a bit so I tend to tip well. So far I haven't had a case where service was that bad but poor service only gets a few bucks out of me.

>>17138524
that's because you only eat fast food like a big baby child

>>17139579
Come on now, you don't need to tip at the soup kitchen.

>>17138524
Ah I see you're a man of culture as well

>>17138510
I live in Australia so they actually get a wage you can survive off. I once worked at some shitty sushi train when I was younger, the boss kept the tips, I made sure I told all my mates who came buy to never fucking tip, shits a scam.

>it's not even busy and she doesn't check if I need water
shit like that pretty much

>>17138510
It's storytime with uncle anon bad-touch!
>About a decade and a half ago my best friend and I went to the Denny's located in Overland Park, KS. It is on the W 63rd St exit of I-35.
>It was late and we were exhausted after spending the day at Kansas City's anime conversation.
>We were quickly seated by an employee and then forgotten about.
>While waiting to order. A group of 3 obese black women came in and were seated in the booth behind my friend. They were so fat that when getting in, they managed to move the booth seat into our table since they couldn't get in like a non-fatass.
>They reeked of weed and were /pol/'s wet dream as one of them said; "I got my nails and hair did!" at the top of their fat incased lungs.
>Soon, my friend and I became more and more disgruntled at being ignored by the wait staff. The employee who seated us would pass by constantly to check in on other existing patrons or even new ones that have been seated.
>Finally, we decided to pull the classic "fuck with the table" BS of dosing the table with all of the condiments available to us. And writing HERE'S A TIP FUCK YOU inside of the pool.

>>17138510
None, because waiters in my country are ensured a livable wage.

inb4 the ADL accuses me of antisemitism.

>>17138546
>racked up a big bill
THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE PROBLEM.
Why is it that everyone automatically defaults to tipping based off of the total after taxes, surcharges, fees, donations to onlyfans, etc, etc. You could order 1 small tiramisu topped with gold flake and a coffee with the virgin Mary's breast milk or some such ostentatious shit and come out with a very high bill for one or two items. Why tip based on the cost or at all for a waiter to bring a dainty plate and cup to your table?

Stop tipping based on cost instead of effort, or better yet do not tip at all.

>>17138510
If they get uppity or try to argue with me or get too pushy/impatient or treat me like a jerk or give the impression that I'm wasting their time and they don't want to serve me, and the usual TNB

>>17139633
>*kvetching echoes faintly in the distance*
>*the faint whine of sirens blaring OOOOYYY VEEEYYY...*

I'm a europoor so no tipping required. Then again I'm a complete shut in so I never eat out anyway

Thanks to my old job. I would travel around the country constantly. The worse service I have ever experienced was at an IHOP near the West Virginia and Virginia borders.
>I have been driving all day and wanted some food before checking into my hotel
>Arrive and see that the restaurant is almost entirely empty except for an elderly couple while other servers are just laughing while sitting at a large table
>I get seated and place my order
Everything seems fine so far, right?
>My waitress disappears entirely after my food is delivered
>The last time I saw her was when she was flirting with a Hispanic looking cook outside the kitchen entry doors
>I finish eating and other servers have to pour me more water or ask if I want more food as the original waitress is gone. Her car is still out in the parking lot if that means anything from what one of the other waitresses tells me
>Another random waitress comes over to tell me that; "I cannot review the order that the (original waitress's name) placed in the system. It's locked so we don't know how much you owe."
>I say that I'm going to put $20 on the table and leave. Nope. I get told that I'll have the police called on me for dine and dashing.
>At this point I have been in this IHOP for over an hour and a half when my original waitress comes back with her clothes in a mess and she had the post-glow sex face
>My meal was $18-something. I didn't place a damn penny more on the table than what the receipt showed
While she got fucked, I was the one that felt it.

>have awesome server
>pay in cash
>get home and have a great day
>as I'm about to go to sleep I remember I forgot to tip him
>anxiety and guilt prevent me from sleeping

I'm so sorry man

>>17139682
you are the saddest loser in all of 4chan. wow dude. I wouldn't have tipped either (I never do) but wow, what you went through to get there

>>17138510
I don't eat out. chicks or restaurants.
I tip 10% in the rare occasion I order something to go, and then it's cash only, and directly to the cashier.
work in a restaurant as a server myself, I make Bank, we're extremely popular with the poor crowd. On a decent day I make $20 an hour before my hourly wage. On a bad day I won't have a single customer.
Mix drinks, I bring all the food, checking all of the orders to make sure they're correct, arguing with my (foreign) cooks to make sure they're correct. at the end of the night I clean the bathrooms
There are three of us in the restaurant at any time. Me, another server, and a cook. sometimes we get hit with a party of 30 and it suuuucks.

>>17139621
You don't need water. That can be taken for granted. Are you walking across a desert? If you're in a restaurant I'm happily betting you're not. You don't need water.

>>17139690
>make bank
>make average unskilled money one day a week and nothing the rest
wow do I have an employment opportunity for you

>>17139687
I would have just said fuck it and walked out but I was exhausted from driving all day to where I still remember collapsing straight on the bed once I got into my hotel room.
If I wasn't exhausted. I would have just put down $20 or more and walked out.

>>17139687
Seriously, i wouldve just left. Wth is a roastie going to do, stop you? You think the police would have gotten there in 30 seconds? By the time they call the police, tell them the situation, the dispatcher sends a call, and the lazy heehaw sheriff gets his ass there and out of the car you would’ve been long gone. You think they would’ve started a high speed pursuit over a few pancakes?

>>17139700
four days a week, plus 40 hour paycheck

>>17139711
you drive a padfoot roller and make $20 an hour 12 hours a day and still be the cheapest roller op in town lol

>>17139706
>>17139710
this is what I'm saying lol. I simply wouldn't have been there waiting for a woman to finish getting fucked in the car park. especially if I was the loser in the post as u just know he's dining alone

>>17139719
Yeah, cuz that requires skill and work. I just sit on my phone and watch YouTube

>>17139725
>calls someone else a loser
>unable to read that the anon travels around the country constantly
My uncle was a semi-driver and would tell me similar stories about how shitty most roadside restaurants were. That anon's story sounds just like one of my uncle's experiences.
Plus, c'mon faggot. Don't act like you have any friends when or if you go out to eat.

>>17139726
delusional on a grand scale lol. don't get locked into this way of thinking young fella. they're making you work hard and paying you shit

>>17139739
>loser pretends to be someone else and admits he was dining alone
this story gets better every post. some teenager running an ihop was bullying you

>>17139710
>high speed pursuit
They don't have to do that. They just issue a warrant and get you whenever's convenient

>>17138510
I'm a neet. I don't have income. I don't pay for my own food, and I don't tip. But never have I ever experienced customer service so bad that I thought
>this person doesn't deserve a tip

I have literally never stiffed a waiter because I used to wait tables and that shit's like an industrial grinder on your soul. Have seen some absolutely brutalized shells of people who have to live for but the growling in their stomach and a slight fear of death at the fringes of their psyche. There's no reason to sit down at a restaurant anymore unless you're trying to impress a woman or are doing an omakase

Have definitely left restaurants after not getting served though

>>17139784
Because it's not a job. It's an unnecessary service and the only people who want it are psychopaths. Normal humans are more than happy to collect their meals themselves.

>Because it's not a job. It's an unnecessary service and the only people who want it are psychopaths.

A good waiter expedites the process of food going from the kitchen to the customer's mouth at exactly the right moment, which makes the overall meal shorter and allows a restaurant to move more tables. Even on a basic level, the role of a waiter is to allow someone to just eat without having to worry about anything else.

It's unquestionably a luxury, but a ubiquitous one and one that people will likely never give up

>server takes forever on drinks
>server forgets something more than once
>server makes joke at my expense
Yes waiters are that dumb. Yes they actually think they are being funny. Yes I leave no tip

>>17139801
tHE oTTER sIGNIFIES nSA haHAhA

>>17138510
I never tip because unlike the US, we give our waiters actual proper wages and no one's expected to tip

want to EARN MY MONEY?
get a real job or an EDUCATION
never tip a poorie

when the price is a round number like 300, or a power of 2

>>17139858
our waiters are paid better than yours because of tipping culture you dirty unwashed europoor. We did try to pay them a regular wage at several points but every single time they lobbied against being paid min wage because they made more money when getting tipped than when being paid min wage with no tip.

Fucking retard I swear they put something in the european """people's"""' water because of how consistently you seem to lack logical thinking skills.

>>17139813
>and how is everything?
EVERYTHING WAS FINE BEFORE YOU MADE ME HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT

they just make it all worse. a buzzer to let me know my meal is ready to collect is so much better than a waiter.

>>17138510
a lot. i tip really well, especially if they do a good job, but i usually will leave 20% if they just did well enough
i used to serve so when they do a piss poor job it really pisses me off, and i feel like they are retards as well bc they could get a lot of money out of me since i tip so well.

>>17139888
Why do they deserve more money when you happen to feel like a meal made from more expensive ingredients?

>>17139682

no waitress would risk her job like that. esp not for a spic.

>>17139874
>they lobbied
There's an actual waiter lobby in the us? kek

>>17139920
The US invented modern democracy and hates modern democracy, invented unions and hates unions. Basically pushed for everything that could advance civilization while yearning to be an ancient dictatorship, while its most significant enemy is China, the world power most likely to successfully sustain an ancient dictatorship. It's an interesting place with interesting contradictions.

>>17139948
>US invented unions
contender for, but not, dumbest thing I've ever read on this site. pretty close however
