Tipper's Name: Dave Gahan
Restaurant: Ruggles Grill
Where it happened: Houston, TX
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $6937.00 / $100.00 / 1%
What happened:
This [censored] came in acting like some stupid rock star wannabe and tied up two of my tables all evening with all his trashy buddies, ordering expensive wine and drinks, and running my ass off. Then he acted like a big shot when he handed me a c-note and thanked me with a smarmy grin.

Man, that [censored] didn't even cover my tip pool, and my manager was dick about it, too. He didn't give a break on it at all. I ended up paying out $40 more in tip pool and going home with $6 for the night.


wtf is a tip pool and how did it hose her out of her tip???

[/ QUOTE ]

In a restaurant with prices as high as these there are usually more people to "tip out" than in a regular diner/olive garden type place. For example there is the Hostess, busboy, expediter, bartender etc. who all get tipped a percentage of the head waitor/waitress' total sales, not total tips. Hope that clears it up for you

Anyone who says things like this should be forced to work in a restaurant for $2.13 an hour.

It's not my current one, but I was there at one point in my life.

It's your choice. You can pay for the food alone, and decide the gratuity yourself (the way the US is now); or you can pay 15% more on the menu price and not tip (the way most of Europe is).

Either way, you (should) pay. Not tipping is classless.
