You're the only intelligent life I've seen in much of this thread.

What if there is nothing the server can do? You tip them nothing even though they did their job to the best of their ability? Nope you're just a shitty person.

Just stay in Europe then. We don't care what you think of our service.

You're right. It should be 18% minimum.

Thank you. You're intelligence is like a flower in a field of rotten grass.

I hope someone finds a picture of you and posts it on a serving website and it goes viral. I hope every restaurant in the U.S. shows their employees what you look like so they can make sure you get the shittiest service on the planet while you watch everyone else around you get great fucking service. I hope it pisses…

Have you ever tried to please 8 or more people with food and drinks all at the same time? Obviously not.

Don't ever give me the misfortune of serving you. You are not worth the $2.13 I would have to serve you for. Bye.

So if you have a slow day in the office, your hourly earnings should go down based on the fact that you're not doing as much work, right? If a doctor has fewer patients in the ER tomorrow, does that mean she doesn't get to make as much money because she's not doing as much work as she may do any other day? No. You're…

Preach! Thank you for understanding my life.

Finally someone on this thread that's not a complete idiot.

I would rather gauge my eyes out with a rusty spoon than ever have to serve someone like you.

“I’m already paying for the food, I shouldn’t have to pay the server’s wage too.”

I hope I never have to serve you.

Either way, if they served your meal and drinks, were knowledgeable and polite, and kept everything refilled with a smile, they get a tip.

If you want good service, paying the servers minimum wage is not the way to get it. Good service comes from the servers desire to get a good tip because no tip=no pay=no rent=homeless. Servers do better work depending on their desire to make more money. If they get paid the same either way, they are not going to give…
