Re: Hypothetical Management Decision re: non-tipping patron of restaur

I have never worked in a restaurant, so bear with me. If a group of 6 guys tips 15% on a $500 tab, that adds up to $75. Assuming that the waiter only has one table (which is unlikely), and those guys hog it all night, is $75 that bad? I mean it would be for ~5 hours, which works out to $15/hour. Not a get rich sum of money, but not horrible either.

Exactly - the hourly rates most waiters gets paid is pretty retarded for what they do.
And it's nowhere near 5 hours of work - the actual interaction between the waiter and customer is probably less than 15 minutes total.
Out of all the people I have to tip in the world, I think it's waitstaff that I despise tipping the most.
