Waitress flips out and flips table after getting lousy tip

[Bitterhook]

Many decent employers add a mandatory tip to large groups.

All the same, fake story.

Absolutely, some restaurants will automatically include a tip on an 8 top, and the required tip added to the bill can increase in percentage with 12 or more.

But a lot of people don't understand tipping either, like if the food sucks but you get good service, that's on the kitchen and not the wait staff. Talk to the manager and you should get at least some of your meal comped.

However, if the service sucks, leave as soon as possible. If an employer doesn't care about the quality of the wait staff in the front of the house, then you cannot trust anything that comes out of the kitchen.

And then she got arrested.

Waitress spent 3 hours taking care of a birthday party of 10, and got $5 tip on a $300 bill (about 1.7%). She could have handled it a bit better but I do not blame her for being angry. If she did her job, this is being really cheap. I would also like a description of the table of 10. Was it a bunch of liberals, who are always generous with other people's money?

Those are some cheap people. She didnt handle it well though. The tipping business is too often replacing peoples wages and its not right.

Maybe she was having personal issues. Boyfried stole her money and dumped her? Girlfriend broke the dildo? PMS? You never know.

I wonder who left such an absurd tip?

Assholes

The tipping business is too often replacing peoples wages and its not right.

That's why some restaurants include the tip on the bill when it comes to large groups, especially if they are celebrating an event of some kind.

Wait staff often get paid less than minimum wage, and their pay is determined by how many tables they cover over their shift. Waiting on a larger group, obviously takes more time and skill. Should it be an event of any kind, the group will often stay longer and enjoy dessert, coffee or chat. If the wait staff is required to cover that, and it is cutting into the number of tables they can cover, they will get a decent tip to cover what they would be missing otherwise.

Now, the tip can mean quite a lot of money on a large table at a nice restaurant. If you have an 8 top with drinks (especially alcohol), bottle of wine, appetizers, food and dessert, and it runs a $650 bill, then at the required 15% added for a tip, that's a $97.50 tip. If you have two folks leave a $20 on the table thinking that has covered it (at a restaurant where it is not included in the bill), then they are $57.50 short of the mark, and that will make a significant difference in the wait staff's pay.

Plus, in most places, the wait staff have to 'tip out' the bartender, bus boys, hostess/host, and in some cases the kitchen. If they don't, then the service they get from those folks will suffer.

Also, some states have adopted a means by which to collect taxes on tips not based on what the wait staff is actually tipped. Where taxes are generally not determined on a full 15%, it can be anywhere from 10-13% of the wait staff's 'bank' (the total of what they sold during their shift). The wait staff can be required to pay the taxes on that amount no matter what they received in tips.

Credit card receipts also include mandatory taxes, because there is a record of the tip. If you choose to 'overtip' and you are paying with a credit card, tip the extra in cash. Where that seems like it could be cheating, as a whole, wait staff generally fall short of the required 13% total they will be taxed on regarding their 'bank' in some states. "It all comes out in the wash" as they say, and what the wait staff 'tips out' to other personnel is not recorded in any form.

Is there a fake AI video to go with this story?

 

[Blaster]

The party that gave her the cheap tip should have been arrested. She probably makes her living off of tips as many restaurants don't provide wages. I sympathize with her.

 

[Rogue AI]

As long as she was making $15 per hour plus tips then i dont understand her ourrage.

Where does that happen? Wait staff in my state they can get as low as $2.33 per hour if they work for tips, but will get paid a minimum of $7.25 if the tips don't meet federal minimum wage.

No excuse for the behavior of this person though.

 

[Bitterhook]

Employer should step up and compensate her

But they won’t

Too bad for you

Should the story be true, and considering the employer should have included the $45.60 tip on the large table, it is understandable that a waitress might 'go off' over a $5 tip.

However, at every place I worked during college waiting tables or bartending, if anyone on the staff ever bitched about a tip within earshot of the customers, that was grounds for being fired.

It's not right but wake me up when we ever start living in a world where things are the way they should be.

Other than asking if the service was acceptable, they should never question a tip.

Plus, they generally don’t see the tip until the customer leaves

 

[TNHarley]

Its fake. Just like it was a year and a half ago when it first came out.

 

[Rambunctious]

This is why some restaurants have an automatic tip of 20% added to the bill with tables over 5 people...

 

[Rambunctious]

Cheap ass libtards alway tip lousy....

I always leave cash, even if I pay the bill with a card.

I'm betting she didn't even deserve the $5. About a year ago we had a graduation party at a restaurant and the service was absolutely horrible. I mean I can't even think of the words to describe it sufficiently. Several waited on our party and a male wait person was just a really scuzzy unclean teenagar who kept on putting his hands in his mouth and then bringing us our orders.

On top of that, we had to go to an ATM machine to get cash because their credit card system was down. But, the service itself was abominable, I mean really abominable. I think the bill came out to be several cents less than $150 and I counted out $150 and left it at the table. The few cents extra I left over the bill total was too much for the service we had. They should have actually comped us the entire meal but we just wanted to get the hell out of there.
