So I gave a Tip and was treated rude

[PAPSMEAR]

you could always give the bartender 17% + a tip on the NBA

[acarmelo1]

If you're at a bar where beer's are less than $1.50 a piece then a change tip is not out of line. You should have told the guy to fuk himself.

[big joe 1212]

It is 17%, yes, but you should leave more since you sat there and got waited on for how long?

If it was 1 beer for $4.25, then yes, 75 cents would be ok.

I sat at the bar, he only took the bottle from the fridge and handed it over to me. Took him like 3 seconds. So he only Waited me for about 9 seconds

[3PtShooter]

teach'em a lesson and run up a tab and leave without paying it

[TheLock]

carmelo is the new Pecos Bill


at a minimum, you tip a $1 a drink when you go to a bar/club/whatever


You don't do percentages when tipping on drinks at a bar. don't be a gomer

[PAPSMEAR]

what's the bartender the new Bill Gates - $1 for 9 seconds work

[TheLock]

Paps where do you live?

OK, here is the deal, and I am not even trying to be mean:

You had 3 beers at an establishment, and those beers cost you less than $5. Forget about what is "customary", in this situation, I would have left no less than a $3 tip in this situation. The change thing was an insult to him, your seat could have generated much more in tip revenue to him relative to what you spent. I realize that isn't your fault, but seriously, if you go out and have less than a $5 tab, you have to tip relatively more, that is just how it works. You are an engineer, don't be a cheap fukk.

[Chuck Sims]

Tip a buck everytime a guy hands you a beer? Hell no. Jesus, its bad enough to be hounded by the street walkers for dollar bills. I do not want to hear the monkey help begging for dollar bills too.

That's fine and all, just don't make a thread about it telling us how the bartender was rude.

Exactly. Next time the fuk refuses your generous 17% tip, punch him in the nutsack. You don't owe him a good living.

[BGS 9.5]

You guys are fukkin nuts, this kid is a cheap fukk, end of story. I would be embarrassed to be seen in that place ever again if I pulled a whore shit stut like tipping change.....

[acarmelo1]

But how can people living on minimum salary can afford does tip?

Minimum salary is $300 down here

[acarmelo1]

If u don't wanna tip, then go to the liquor store and buy your shit and drink at home

That could be nice for $5 I get 6 beers at the liquor store

[Bigmikesm]

That was pretty cheap. Jeez you got 3 beers for 4.25. Leave a buck seventy-five. It won't break you.

[PAPSMEAR]

a special thanks to rookie for the 5 points

[paco]

Dont u wish u tipped that bartender more than a few coins now?

[InTheHole]

Karma ran over his dogma

[acarmelo1]

actually the tip was 0$ cuz he did not took the 75 cents

[paco]

he had houston +8 and cincy +3, and won, since u had the opposite. He is at ur tip attempt now

[acarmelo1]

well since he won, now he has more money than me. no reason to tip him any more.

[Lockitup1x]

in a civilised society you don't tip at all and the employer pays the employee a proper wage to begin with

Like in London? I don't think it's a coincidence that service is sub par across the board in that "civilized" society.

When i drink at a bar, i always give at least $1 per drink.. If you can't afford that, maybe you shouldn't be going out to bars.. I would have given you your .75 cents back also, since you clearly would have needed it more than me..

I already got into it with this guy about tipping. When I thought about though, I realized he just doesn't know anything about having class. He would be completely lost in any of the finer establishments I have worked. This is the guy that asks for ketchup to go on his tenderloin. He's the one that doesn't understand the waiter is going to bring him a new fork after his salad so he doesn't have to try to snatch it off the empty plate as it's being cleared.

He's the epitome of what we in the business call an amateur, and would be marked as one the minute he walked in the door. We'd be the ones looking down our noses at him for not belonging. The cheap tip/stiff would have already been expected. We'd just want to get him out the door before the rest of the guests started thinking we cater to his type.

Melo, stick to places that serve $1.50 MGD's - your favorite. You don't belong anywhere nicer than that.

nothing wrong with it

Umm. No.

Australia. I know in the US people in service industries get paid a pittance and rely on Tips. Here the employee gets paid a decent wage so as not to have to grovel for handouts and tips. The employer is no worse off as it is built into the asking price of the service. It's a lot less hassle and doesn't lead to anyone being disappointed and threads like this. Every now and then you tip for exceptional service in restaurants but tipping a buck a bottle for a beer in a bar is just not on.

[odusmykal]
