People who don't tip.
It doesn't have to be 15%. 10% works just fine too. Hell 2$ to show a bit of appreciation would be nice.
The group of 20 that comes in 45min before close when there's only one person working, orders full meals, drink liqour, make one hell of a mess and don't tip. Fuck 'em. Menonites piss me off. People who come in during prime time with large (7+) groups sans reservations, get pushy and don't tip. Fuck them too. In general, people who don't tip. It's not the food you're tipping, it's your waiter for keeping your glass full, making sure food comes out in a timely fashion under the circumstances, and chats you up a bit. No one works up to 7 hours straight balls to the walls just for minimum wage. No one's paid to be a ray of sunshine at 8/9$ an hour. Fuck. It drives me nuts sometimes. edit: suck my nuts with vigor.

I find it very unfair when ppl dont tip it really bugs me!
I have had once occasion i remember where i didnt tip, the waitress Forgot to put in our order, took 20 minutes to get water, and after she braught our food finally we didnt see her untill we had to find her for our bill. Not to mention there were like only 7 or 8 other tables in the restraunt occupied by people, and atleast one other waitress. But even when service is not that great i leave a tip as long as its not horrible!

I tip. But if the service is shitty, they get penalized accordingly.

AND he has a trick where he will "accidentally" leave something like a hat at the table and when everyone leaves he "remembers" he forgot it, quickly goes back to the table, and scoops up the tips that other people left! Has been caught by friends, but most are too embarrassed to check. Really it's stealing but the money doesn't belong to the servers until they take it so they don't do anything even if they see it happening.

on saturday, i didn't tip well..
took them 1.5 hours to seat us (party of 12) and then sat us at a table for 11 instead of 12, drinks took forever to get to us, and I hate when I ask them that I want my meal now, not after the appys (others were ordering appys) and they wait 20 min after the appys to serve my meal.

Non tipper = cheap asshole.
I don't care who you like to think you are because tipping isn't just supposed to be a "special bonus" for the service industry, it's their bread and butter. Do you think that having to deal with your bad attitude while I sweetly smile all night is worth $8.00 an hour for a job that can never give me more than 5-6 hours a night? No. So atleast show some sense of decensy and tip. If the service is bad, you have just reason. But if you're just cheap, stay home.

As a former waitress, I tip according to service...I give a little bit of leeway becuase I can tell when someone is new or if it's busy or if I'm ordering a complicated modified meal or something...but I won't tip bitchy servers. Or incompetent ones. Thankfully I don't often feel the need to stiff someone.
From the other side of the fence: I don't EXPECT a tip, necessarily, I consider it a bonus for doing my job well. But the thing is I do my job well all the time. I am an extremely fast and attentive server and I rarely make mistakes. If I screw up your order I am not expecting a tip. I don't even mind those really non-demanding tables who order one drink and their meals and then are happy to be left alone not tipping. But if you have me running around getting 5 rounds of 7 different drinks, finding a red crayon for Junior, taking your food back twice, helping you choose a wine, etc....then I'm expceting a bloody tip. I mean, come on!

it's not my fault that they chose to accept a job that pays 8 bux an hour. I shouldn't pay them on top of their hourly rate because they get paid a low wage.
tips are a sign of a job well done. if you don't provide good service you should not expect a tip, or complain about a small tip. I work hard for my money and I don't just give it away because it's what ppl do. If I feel that the waiter/waitress has done an awesome job of serving me then I will show my appreciation with a tip.

^^^can't alaways do that. I worked at a restaurant that didn't do auto-grat. So if they chose not to tip, I'd be fucked. Especially since I'd be so busy with my big table I couldn't take many other tables or give them much attention...grrr.

it's not the customer's obligation to subsidize the restaurant staff's wage.......if you want to make more money go out and get a better job!!
in my opinion a gratuity is something that is earned by providing better than adequate service. also, perhaps the people who are not tipping earn minimun wage and cannot afford to show a little bling bling appreciation....if i were a server i think that i would be more offended by a patron who failed to smile and say thank-you rather than the one who failed to leave a gratuty.

I tip very well if I have had excellent service.
If service was good-mediocre I tip the usual 10-15(usually round it to the nearest dollar-5dollar increment that's fair) If I received POOR service, i still tip, but something insulting. no tip makes ME look like an asshole, however leaving a insulting tip may give the waiter/waitress a wake up call that she/he was acting like an idiot. for example, the other day 5 of us went in to Sui Sha Ya to grab some food. 3 of us wanted all you can eat and 2 oof us wanted to order from normal menues(might i add their bill was actually higher than all you can eat would have been...) They refused to seat us at the same table, and after we protested and were about to leave they gave us tables besides each other(but still seperate, apparently we were going to 'SHARE') If that's not the icing on the cake, it took 20 minutes until a waitress finally took our first order, and didn't even bring us a jug of water after a 3rd request(I had to track down another waiter and ask for a jug of water) Also, half of the food we ordered for all you can eat never came, and when we inquired about it, and asked if they could bring it out, they broguht us out double orders, probably hoping we wouldn't be able to finish and they could charge us 'regular price' for the 'wasted items'. suffice to say, our bill was over 100 bucks and we tipped a toonie. fuckers.

my complaint isn't with people that don't tip because of shitty service but people that come in get exceptional service, expect us to re-arange the whole fucking menu, bitch and complain that the iced tea is too sweet and then leave without tipping! although i'm not really complaining at all 'cause i rarely deal with people like that. i would never say its expected, but i would say that for the generous people that do tip it is more than greatly appreciated! and from working in a restaurant.....i tip everyone :) except fucking loser bartenders that think they're hot shit........oh must of been hard to open that bottle for me......why do you think you deserve a couple dollars for 15 seconds of work????????

Some may argue with tipping a server... They write down what you order ( takes not much time) someone else then cooks it, if its an alcoholic drink (depending on kind and the restraunt) someone else makes it, they bring the food someone else makes and ask how it is. Then they clean up after you, Bartenders clean bars to you know. I am all for tipping servers and i know the job isnt easy as i have served at my uncles pubs for him befor, i have also bartended there to. To me though tipping a bartender and a server is along the same lines.

Don't give me this 'i only make minimum wage and i depend on my tips to get by' bullshit. If you make min. wage well it sucks to be you, maybe find a better job, if you aren't 'getting by'.
Don't get me wrong, I ALWAYS tip, most of the time I tend to over-tip. Note to all waiters and waitresses, if you want a decent tip, work for it. Don't come take my order really quickly, drop it off and then dissapear and expect to get a decent tip.
