The Nasty Get Nastier

While this guy is a bit of a prick, I don't like the idea of a set tip. If someone wants to tip, then let them tip you what they want.

I very rarely tip... I just can't really afford to. I pay for what I have bought and that is that.

Anyway, that is about tipping in general... back to the individual case... I'd slap that person silly.

First of all, I don't know how it's done in the UK but in America waitresses are frequently paid under the minimum wage because they are expected to compensate their earnings with tips. Second of all, that person is basically being your bitch, so a minimum tip of 15-18% is reasonable. If you can't afford that, don't eat at places where a tip is 'expected'. Unless they do an utter shit job (and sometimes that's the kitchen, not them) then they deserve a tip.

And sometimes people don't even get their individual tips - they're put into a pool and divided evenly amongst everyone so that even the bad people get money. If someone isn't tipped, everyone suffers.

Service is a shitty fucking job, and not one I'd like to do, so I'm always kind to my servers and tip them 18% at the minimum. Usually 20%. They're putting up with shit you don't even realize if you've never done that job. Retail during holiday seasons comes somewhat close, but not quite.

That preacher is a fucking asswipe of a human.
