If they were flat out rude, I dip to 10%, but that takes a lot.roonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053389686241678369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624260.post-1153263198157336962006-07-18T15:53:00.000-07:002006-07-18T15:53:00.000-07:00They did a thing on this on "This American Life" o...They did a thing on this on "This American Life" once, I think. They had waitresses who were notoriously nice to people act like jerks and found that it wasn't the waitress that detirmined the tip. Apparently, it's just the pre-detirmined nature of the person being served. Some people overtip, some undertip. It doesn't seem to matter much what the waitress does.<BR/><BR/>Me? I'm an over tipper. I tend to always tip 20% unless the waitress/waiter totally suxorz. Then I tip 15%.Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112909837995062972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624260.post-1153256514420031982006-07-18T14:01:00.000-07:002006-07-18T14:01:00.000-07:00As a former waiter, I can't understand how this he...As a former waiter, I can't understand how this helps salvage a tip. I think I'd just write it off to sucking and figure I deserve less tip.<BR/><BR/>What drove me nuts was the times I busted my balls and did everything right and got a soup-bowl full of pennies by some socially distburbed jerk... or when a woman came in, ordered an 89 cent cup of tea, took out a book and her PACKED LUNCH, and sat reading for 3.5 hours of my 4 hour shift. I was essentially one table down for the entire shift which cost me many bucks and then when she paid for the bill she left a buck on the table. Not a dollar tip. A dollar, accounting 89 cents for the tea and 11 cents as my tip.<BR/><BR/>I think she owes me a spicy muffin.EmoRiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832669840890970845noreply@blogger.com
