FUCK east indians

[the.gladiator1987]

If I go with a group of 18 I ASSUME grauity is automatically included int hat total.

You just got owned by a gift card.

dude seriously i got ownd by that fuckin gift card. My partner even went to the table and told them that gratuity was NOT added on the check, the guy just said "ok" in a 7-11 accent and walked off leaving me in shock, holding 3 dollar bill in my hand, frantically looking under cups and plates for some more cash

Must be new immigrants. Asians and many other cultures don't believe in tipping back home (which is why restaurant service always sucks in those countries!) and assume the same is here. Even in many parts of Europe, tipping is optional!

Definitely polite, efficient, and pays attention to refilling water, and when I'm ready to order I hate waiting 10 mins for someone to show up. It's not hard to just watch your tables while serving others to notice body language when they're waiting for something and pay attention to that. Fake and smiley, don't care.. but admit it if you did something wrong or took to long and fix it.

I start my tip at 20% across the board to any waiter/waitress. Depending on things I do or don't like I drop a percent or raise a percent each action. I never tip below 15% unless I seriously HATED their service. I generally will tip 18% on avg.

When I go to a place that I know has shitty service but amazing food. I have a twenty dollar bill, and I tell them the first time they come to our table. "This tip is for you, I'm tipping you preemptively, and I except you to deserve this tip. Thank you" It usually does the trick and even more. I don't think it's offensive, but it really pisses me off when I get a waiter/waitress who hates their job, and has a negative attitude, then carries it to their tables. Guess what, you're only causing the cycle to keep going by getting shitty tips from your attitude which makes you hate your job even more. Act and do things like you expect a 20% tip and I bet you'll start seeing bigger tips across the board. If someone hates their job that much, there's plenty of gas stations hiring and they pay at least minimum wage if not a dollar/hr more.

I tip 30% if the bill is $20 or less and 20% for bills over $20. I deduct for shit service accordingly.

as an indian, i'm deeply offended. just kidding.

we are cheap, and yes it's definitely a cultural thing to an extent. apparently, some
of us will even argue over some inexpensive retail shit at the checkout counter. "why is this $8.99?
can i have it for $3.99?"

which is loltastic.

having been raised here, i'm not quite like that, but i am fucking poor. oh, and also a miserable cunt.

but i usually tip around 20%, could be as low as 15%, or up around 25-30%. if the service is really bad, they deserve zero. that's rare,
but totally legit. only a worthless, entitled cunt would complain that you left no tip in that situation. of course,
that explains why you got bad service in the first place.

Here is quote from my friend Betsy at Express earlier this year.
"I refuse to ring up one more Indian person!"
She is Indian.

I'm new to the whole tipping thing since back in CR it's a flat 10% added to the bill regardless of you liking the service or not... here I usually tip 15-20% average but sometimes more for good service.... I went to Red Lobster and got the WORST service I have gotten here so far, spent like 20 min with no refill. it was close to closing time, maybe like 9:40 (closing at 10) when that bitch waitress was going by (for like the 9th time without serving us) I took my drink/ice and slurped like a child and she FINALLY came like 5 minutes after that.... the restaurant was not busy.... I left a 20% and my husband was very angry saying she didnt deserve it but I feel weird tipping less than 15%

I have a stupid question, is tipping a mandatory legal thing or just a way to express gratitude? excuse my noobness

 

[Mr. dB]

They were probably pissed 'cause you was eyeballin' they womens.

Completely optional, you don't have to leave a penny if you don't want to. I've accidentally left zero tip before when I pay via debit card before and there's no place on their ticket to add tip.

One thing that pisses me off is when they ask if I need change. Don't ask, just do it you asshole. Then they come back with a $10 bill for change. Fuck you, you're not getting $10 off of a $15 tab. In those instances I leave whatever change I have in my pocket, and I tell the server why.

Signed, former server with enough common sense to bring back fives and ones for change.

lolol i mean if u deserve a low tip then thats something else. I cant believe she went outside to yell at u, id get fired for doin that

But in my case, they were all east indian, i would ask what they wanted to drink and they would say "ok". WTF i asked a question! Its like i knew i was fucked because we werent even communicating on the same level.

there was one person who spoke english and shes actually the one who left 3 dollar bills, the credit card check was blank.

I wonder if they were drunk? and I dont know too many east indians that eat at restaurants other than their own (indian/paki food). They're mostly vegetarians.
