Have been horrible tippers, or not tipped at all.
Last night my friend had a family of 5 and their bill got to $130 - they didn't leave her any tip at all. Oh and also they came in at 10, which is when we close (we have to serve people that come in right up untill closing)
Why is this? Anyone have any insight? Should I now be discriminatory because of this? If it had only happened once or twice i wouldn't think anything of it - but I've definetly notice a trend.

because they tend to work harder than whitey, and get paid less than whitey...so why should they tip whitey for doing less?

I have to agree with you. I've waited tables and served drinks in a casino. The Latin community seemed to be the poorest tippers out of any nationality.

sure they should. Perhaps its not customary for them to tip. Just because its an american expectation doesnt mean that EVERYONE should just know off the bat to tip. If its an issue, mention it to your management and push for just a mandatory gratuity to be included in the check.

I've traveled around the world via the US Navy and I've been to several countries. I've also traveled as a youngster to different countries and whether it was with the Navy or as a Civilian, I always respected the rules, customs and traditions of the country I was visiting. I don't think it matters where a person is from, if you are in Rome, do as the Romans do.

anyone foreign would tip badly, not a common practice elsewhere.
not sure why you've had this experience. I'm kind of a watered down mexican though, and I worked as a server so I tip pretty well, at least 30% if not more usually.
Yeah, try working anywhere expert for the US then you'll see most places don't demand a tip.
I work on a bar at nights and make about £5 tips, max. Having breasts will get your more tips though.

in australia tipping is not the custom at all really. i think ive only tipped once at a restaurant, because our waiter was fantastic. we dont tip in taxis, altho i always round up to the 5 or 0, like if it was 28 bucks id give em 30. unless they are rude, then i wait to get my 5c change. no one expects to get a tip, even in hotels. when i worked in a 5 star bar in a hotel i was always happy to serve americans cuz they tipped. one pro golfer who was on tour even left his tab open for me to have a couple of drinks after i knocked off. the bodyguard for pearl jam tipped me $20 every drink he bought, and he bought alot of drinks that night!
also, i've always wanted to ask this, in the US on tv shows whenever theres a scene in a diner when the actors get up and leave they just leave the cash on the table, is that really how it goes? cos that doesnt happen here. u always go up to the till and pay there. if u just got up and left A: they would think you are trying to leave without paying or B: someone else would take the cash off the table.
the last mexican i served got divorce papers.
are you supposed to tip a divorce lawyer?

in Mexico City u have to Tip for EVERYTHING!
heres a guy who "watches" the cars & helps u park in the parking lot & u have to tip him and when u stop at a street light the guys who start washing your car windows u HAVE to tip them or else they'll key your car even though u didn't ask them to clean the windows.
and u have to pay to use the public bathrooms & they give you toilet paper to use as a receipt
i ain't lying its weird

yes, that's really how it goes in most restaurants. lately though, i've been waiting for them to come around instead of just leaving it, just to make sure they've taken care of it and didn't abandon the table.
america has plenty of lowlifes, but stealing money off the table is a special kind of low.

Years ago, I had a conversation with a friend about this. Well actually we were talking about why generally black people will tip less than white people. (Broad sweeping generalisation of course, but more often than not true.) Her theory was that in our generation (meaning for the purposes of this discussion, people who are now between 25-45), most white young white people grew up in middle class, white collar families where you went out to eat at a proper restaurant at least once in a while from the time you were quite young on, so you got to see a bit more what was "the done thing" and learned by experience, even if you didn't realise it at the time. However, most young black people grew up in working class, blue collar families and may well be amongst the first in their families to have gone to college, and to have the kind of jobs that allow them to have the level of 'disposable income' that makes it possible to dine out more frequently, and didn't grow up seeing their elders handle checks and work out tips etc. So essentially her projection is that as minorities become more assimilated into mainstream American middle class culture, this kind of thing begins to even itself out as successive generations become more aware of what is considered "appropriate" and fall in accordingly.
This conversation happened years ago, when we were waitresses and it was after a shift where she had had a table of four young black women - office admin assistants, who were clearly reasonably educated and somewhat professional - who were there celebrating one of thier birthdays. They racked up a tab of over $150, and had tipped the waitress $5. (She was a black woman herself btw, so it wasn't 'a black/white thing'.)

I tip when the service is good - usually 10-15%. If it's not, then I won't bother too much. As for taxi's, I'll usually round it up like mikizee said. I do leave the money on the table if I am paying cash though. The waitress/waiter will usually be pretty on the ball about picking it up quickly and I certainly have never worried that some scummer is going to steal it off a table.

What the crap does she know...I mean c'mon she's dating a cracker ass cracker.....
Meanwhile whoever asked if they were Mexicans or Latinos was on point. Throughout my travels I found that tipping is really not done in most countries which I found sweet cus one I wouldn't hafta tip. Or two the people would be extra appreciative if I did. Anyway I don't think it's a Mexican thing it's probably a poor people thing and in most areas the Mexicans are poorer than others. Personally I'm doing alright but that doesn't mean I automatically tip well. If I get good service I'm a great tipper if I don't I have no problem leaving exact change...in pennies if possible

11-03-2006, 09:31 AM
in LI:
my family has always gotten dirty looks and bad service because they expect us to tip poorly, except they dont realize that we're all excellent tippers. and so the servers end up ruining their own tip, but for the most part, 20% is the least we give.
this is why we almost always go to the same places all the time where they know us and they're nice and we tip them awesome.
so, um, you havent had a good group of mexicans yet.

How many times has this happened? I mean, I could be wrong, but I'm thinking there isn't that many "Mexicans" in Utah. Maybe they are like Innuit or something. Everybody knows that they are terrible tippers.
Are you nuts? Before I moved to Cleveland I lived in SLC till I was 8...I thought there were only 2 kinds of people and two religions...White people who were Mormon and Mexican people who were Catholic.

Fuck tipping.
I don't expect a lorry driver to tip me for unloading 26 pallets off the back of his truck.
The worst ones are the ones that moan that "the wages are not enough to live on without the tips". Simple answer, GET A BETTER FUCKING JOB!
I especially don't tip taxi drivers cos they're all cunts, who drive like cunts, and act like cunts. Well, they are in Bournemouth anyway.

If you worked there and this happened, and you get 2 something an hour PLUS TIPS, you'd be saying the same damn thing. Yes it's an American expectation. But they're in America. I don't give a shit if they don't speak English. Just don't stiff me!
As far as "going to the management" - hah. Yeah right. It's a big steakhouse chain, they aren't going to do shit. (p.s. I am bitter because i hate working there and am getting out hopefully soon, this corporate shit is awful)
I don't think it's too much to ask that if someone is going to go to a place and getting good service (which I give pretty much every time without fail), to tip someone.
I gave a table away last night because I decided to be discriminatory - a table of 8 - 100 check, no tip. Glad I didn't take it.

it's not all that easy to get a better job straight away. we all gotta do what we gotta do. I feel your pain, miss. When I was a server I was getting $2/hr then the rest was tips.
Move to California, you have to get at least min wage here then you get tips too. Pretty decent too especially if you are in school although that doesn't really apply at the moment. Still!

Here that would be so totally against the law!!!
I don't think the waitresses here work for less than $15-20!!! Especially the ones in the evenings and nights! Here the service is included, but we give a tip if the service is good (I have quite a few friends in the business so I've been getting complaints when I haven't tipped, but it depends totally on the service!). On taxis we usually round up to the nearest 10, and at bars to the nearest 5. If you give a good tip for your first drink you'll get your next ones quicker (unless they have system when really crowded where they "sweep" the bar from left to right so everyone gets a fair wait).

I was hoping they would run the table and play my beloved Buckeyes for the title. Now, I just have to worry about Michigan in the horseshoe.

Lol it is weird being in pittsburgh, but i just tell all the pitt people that pittsburgh needs us wvu grads to keep the city going. I don't have hate for Pitt fans, but you'll always have those few people that you just wanna knock out (but that happened at wvu to)
I go out to bars to watch the games (never close to the pitt campus), but I always run into people cheering for WVU(y)
