I just got home from work and saw an article about a lesbian server who was not only stiffed on a tab but the person wrote a note saying the only reason was because they don't approve of her lifestyle. To me that would be like saying my being caucasian was a conscious choice.
Not only was it insulting but in the restaurant I work in that table of haters would have cost me money out of pocket. I typically have to pay out 4% of my total sales, I have to pay the credit card fee, and I only get paid $2.13/hr. So for this person's $87.43 bill I would have had to tip out $3.50 and pay anywhere from $.05-.07 for the credit card they used. That means it would have cost me $1.42 or more to be insulted by this moron.
So following this person's logic it would be totally acceptable for me to go to a tire store get four new tires put on my car and then tell the manager, "I'll pay for the tires but I don't like guys with handlebar mustaches like the guy who just put on my tires. Those things have been outdated since Gangs of New York times. So don't pay him for the last hour and make him pay all the other employees 1-2% of my total bill out of pocket."
So what are your thoughts on tipping servers?
