Tipping servers and other job items with money motivation.

And, just so you guys know, this is why I chose 20% to tip:

Just move the decimal over to the left, one place. Then double the resulting number.

For something that totals 65.24.

that's 6.52

Double it.

13.04 <----that's your tip.

It's quick and easy and it makes you look smart to people busting their brains to calculate it.

For those of you who want to round down to 18%.

Do what I did above to find the 20%.

Then, move the decimal over one more place to get the amount that you subtract from 13.04.

So,

13.04-1.30 = 11.74

11.74= 65.24*.18

It seems complicated, but it's not. It're real easy, as long as you can move a decimal and do 2nd grade math.

i dont go by % i go by performance just cause you spend 100 bucks on food at a restaurant doesnt mean they should get a $20 tip. their performance has nothing to do with how much you ordered.

So, you'll give a $20 tip to someone who did a ridiculously good job...even if you only ordered a margarita and your date ordered a $10 side?

If so, you'd be the most awesomest customer ever. ✅

you still haven't explained WHY we should tip, though. 😛

Because tipping is the dictate of the social norm.

And being a nonconformist, in this particular facet, is not socially acceptable.

Tip or be chided!

I don't tip unless people with me make me tip. I've never understood why everyone tips. I mean we do it because they don't make much but they don't make much because we tip.

no i wouldnt but would you leave a 20 tip after spending 100 bucks at a fancy restaraunt and the waiter messed up your order

Ahem

*server 😄

And, if the waiter only did it to one of us and apologized and admitted fault, I would still tip. Making a mistake is to be expected.

was slow

If they were slow but told me they would be a bit due to being busy, with an apology, of course I wouldn't mind.

brought you dirty silver wear

The server didn't wash the silverware and doesn't and shouldn't inspect them.

However, it is VERY disgusting. lol

If they apologized and comp'ed something, sure, I would still tip them as much as I would have if they didn't make a mistake.

now does that deserve a 20% tip ?

If they did all of the above, even with apologies, it wouldn't be acceptable. I wouldn't tip.

I would have walked out when I got dirty silveware.

I need to know where you're coming from to be able to answer this correctly.

I obviously cannot answer the question, based on this response.

Aren't waiters and waitresses paid shit salaries?
