TLontheDL Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I got a question regaurding tipping at restaurants. If there are only 2 people in a party, and their total order is, say, $125.00, the tip is around $18.75, more or less. Understandable, right? Well.....What if that same party of 2 people ordered food which came out $975.00? They got the same amount of help and service, so are they obligated to pay 15% of that, which is $146.25? Same 2 people, same service.. always remember kids: tips spelled backwards is spit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexyH22 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 same thing anywhere. i say 15% is about right. if 2 people eat for only $25. they should only have to tip like $5 or so. if your paying for that expensive of a meal, you should expect to pay for a better service. if the service is nothing special, you are not obligated to tip 15% i think that is just a guideline. mostly depends on your opinion of the srevice.

BuddySol Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I usually give 15%, maybe a bit over cause I'm just a nice guy like. If I charge the food, I usually tip in cash. If the service is bad, I often deduct the % and then charge the tip, to add more insult to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 i tip based on what i get service wise. but...usually the bill is around $30 depending on where i go, and i usually tip about 5 dollars depending on service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragongyrl18 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I tip depending on the service. But I also must leave in mind that I don't want to tip more than others either. Why? Because then the next time I go into the restaurant they will expect a big tip and its not like that with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakuryu06 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thas some bs, i usualy dont tip AT ALL! lol, then again i dont usually go to many restaraunts, only people i do tip is like Pizza man mayb 1.50-3.00$ here and there. My parents and family believe We should give them some tip, i dont think very highly of it, but dont mind, and this 15% Tip thing? Who came up with it? I mean is there a law that says we have to give tip of 15% of final order...i dont think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragongyrl18 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Well its not a law that says it should be 15% but its something generous for their hard work. But I don't really follow the tip rule. I may be a bad person but its just how I feel I was treated and what they deserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 some restaurant in new york about a year ago or so had problems with a customer who didn't tip, or who didn't tip the 15%... i don't really remember the whole situation, but the customer got in some kind of trouble for it... waiters/waitresses, bartenders, etc, all get pretty low hourly rates, so their main income comes from tips. i never leave no tip, but will leave a low tip if the service was not good (and was the fault of the server). if the place is understaffed on that night, or something along those lines, you can't always expect the server to provide as good of service.

Dragongyrl18 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Its just the same way with strippers. Strippers make their money based on tips we dont get paid for working at the club. We don't fill out an application either its just a make up your own schedule basis and w/e you end the day with thats what you take home after you pay the club and the bouncers and djs.
