sometimes when I got extra loot and the wait staff is doin well I will ask for something obscure like 13 ice cubes in my water and if they actually do it I will throw them like 20 bucks for a tip on top of what I was gonna tip....my old room mate was a waitress I know how something cool like that can make your entire day/night go better.

I used to work at Pizzeria Unos part time last year while I was at school, and having that experience I tip 20% normally, and might drop to 15% if its shitty, i give more sometimes if im feeling generous, or if its a waitress and shes hot :naughty:

what's the point of tipping better because a waitress is hot?

i hate feeding into the notion that good looks nets better treatment, in any type of job. pretty prissy shouldnt get a better tip than big bertha just because of looks.

does the hot waitress go home with you, or chase after you with her #, because you tipped her well? no, you're just another dude who gave her some extra cash...something that probably happens often for her.

sorry...dumb rant.

One time when I was at the olive garden, we (my ex and I) got HORRIBLE service. I mean horrible. So on the reciept I wrote this:

"Here's a tip: BE A BETTER SERVER!"


:rick:


Quick Reply: how do you tip?
