your son is right. You should not eat out if you cannot pay the tips as he does. Go to the carryout or food cart, or food court instead. I eat out at least one meal a day as well and given how these people are abused one must at minimum pay 15 percent. If the waiter/waiter are good then one should compensate them more. That is the bulk of their wages,

I don't know about abused, these waiters and waitresses where I eat at are very healthy and robust looking. My average bill for lunch without alcohol is around 50 to 60 bucks and above and I feel that 10% is ok. Anyway in this new year I will put in the 15%.

What I detest is when the restaurants charge a mandatory 18% to 20% as gratuity .

That's when you never visit them again.

Chief, you sound like you is a cheap rass you know.
Waiters/waitresses do not make much, they depend on the tips. In my younger days I worked for a short while in a bar (Footloose)for those who may have visited the place,the tips are often shared with the cook and dish washer, so the waiters/waitresses don't always go home with what they collected.

Strippers can also fall into that same category, they make whatever you decide to slide into their thongs/crevices or wherever.

bRO,
The last thing anyone who deal with me can say is that "I am cheap". In my heart of heart I think 10% is more than ok every time I spend 60 bucks and above.

I tip the gas station attendants every time they fill me up because I feel that those people have to be in the cold and heat whilst waiters enjoying comfortable environment.

As for the strippers( when i used to go, now I no longer ) they does get on how they perform

The food was passable but the waitress was very affable and professional. When she brought us the bill, Churchill rewarded her with a very generous tip. The owner then sent us an amended bill to include the tip as part of the purchase. The creep thereby robbed the server (who, Iam sure, was earning less than the minimum wage) of her well earned tip. We did not protest too much because we sensed the fear of losing her job in her. This is a heinous practice that you NYers should agitate against

Chiefy, what's your bill like when alcohol is included? Do you eat 50-60 bucks of food, or are you dining with others? You've heard it from the other posters already and it won't hurt to say it again: 10% is too low. 15% is okay. 20% is the way to go. You reported that you gave 15%, but next time you dine out, I encourage you to tip 20%. It's better to give more than is expected. You can always refer back to the teachings...whatever you give, comes back to you 10 times. I know you won't argue with me on this one

I have nothing to argue about, I will get back my 10 times 15%
50 to 60 bucks is normally for two of us.Alcohol can significantly make the bill larger for it is not cheap in the restaurants in Manhattan.

Mir back to the tips, I feel other type of service workers deserve better or more tips than waiters, for example I tip my shoe shine people 75 to 100%, my gas attendants get tips and many other people I do tip but again I feel it is the guest call to leave a tip for the restaurant people.

Tips are not optional? Of course it is!!!!

Further more every guide line on tipping to waiters suggest 10 to 20%, so my 10 and now 15% is not stiffing anyone!!

You are brutal! My last time at the Olive Garden we struck up a conversation with the waitress and learnt that she had a college degree but could not find a job..

Share skont you writing again.
I keep saying you are your worse enemy and this time you will destroy yourself big fing time!!!

You are a wannabe community leader if you continue with this type of publish thrash, you are wring about people and their business.

You are a chammar, sorry but every time you open your frigging mouth you are sounding like the low of the lowest.

WHat the Masjid has to do with this? Or is it because Carifesta is a halal establishment you want to thrash them.
Carifesta was the only restaurant that gave out over 350 FREE dinners on thanksgiving eve and instead of complimenting them you are writing bullshit.
Last week after you wrote nonsense about a brother you called like 5 times to apologize, now you writing shit about one of the best restaurants on Liberty Ave, how the fouck you will survive as a leader for business development organization is a frigging wonder. .
You should stop opening your mouth for every time you only braying like a donkey!!
