Maybe you have to call him to get the rest? ;)
waiters and waitresses are paid to do their job, tips shouldn't be expected, do you tip the people at mcdonalds? **** waiters and waitresses :/
ever seen the show code monkeys?
1) Anyone on here saying that people need to stop complaining about not getting tips and how they shouldn't expect them because that's their job -- I dare you to work as a waiter or waitress and then say that. 2) For those of you bashing the US about the way we pay the service industry, if we decided to pay everyone like some of your countries, we would end up with the same service...rude people who ignore us when we want something, service that takes 30 minutes to get a water, orders that come out wrong, and waiters that say completely nasty things right to your face and don't get reprimanded for it. Maybe you think we get paid the wrong way but at least the majority of us work very hard for the tips that we earn and are forced to be treated with constant disrespect, degrading comments, and jerks who just want to show off. And no, I am not in this industry, I just hate when people are ignorant and disrespectful.
Not necessarily. I mean, yes, a bad server and a good server will get equal wages. But, if it's that bad, like at every other job, if enough people complain about a particular server, he or she will get a warning and then get fired, if the behavior continues. Also in other countries, because they pay their servers enough, tipping is not typical or mandatory. But, if you receive excellent service and/or greatly appreciate a particular server, you can give a tip. It's usually smaller than what you would give an American server, yeah, but it still counts for something. The only thing I don't like is when foreigners (or natives) disagree with the way servers are paid in America, and so as a protest, they don't tip anything. All you screw over that way is the server; he or she still gets paid the less than minimum wage, and the restaurant gets its due. Include your 15-20% in the cost when calculating how much money your meal will cost.
He probs wants you to call him, get mad at him, then he'll say "let me make it up to you...dinner..."
Do you realize that most servers only make half of minimum wage and rely on tips for their main income? It's not an easy job, and when someone doesn't tip you (for no reason), you have basically just been working for nothing.
He should have tipped her a reasonable amount (15%). Servers hard core judge people on what they tip (this may or may not be a good thing), and of course she's going to think "wow, what a cheap asshole," and not call him. She gave him a service, if it was good, it DESERVES payment.
I can't even argue with this comment because it has me so at a loss for words. I don't make a lot of money, but if I have enough to go out to eat (or order pizza), then I have enough to tip. That is part of the bill!!
Amen!!!

I agree- call him up and bitch him out a bit. Do it from a pay phone so he doesn't have your number to harass you, but tell him that if he can't afford to tip he can't afford to eat out. If he stiffs you like that, it's actually costing you money- you get taxed on a percentage of the food you sell, because the government assumes that you'll get at least a 10% tip. Educate the fool!
And Code_Monkey, if she's a waitress (which I assume she is), then there is absolutely nothing wrong with her attitude. Waiters and waitresses make almost all their money from tips--their wages are next to nothing. It's also considered extremely bad form to tip less than 15%. So unless she is a truly terrible waitress, this guy is either clueless or incredibly rude.
