good. because sometimes i get shit service from the waitress, but the other waitresses were good, and the busboys were fine, and the food was good… but my waitress never refilled my drink, stopped at my table after ordering, or even brought me my food; thanks busboy.
if you do just as much as a cashier at mcdonalds (take order, give food). you dont deserve a tip. sharing the tip jar makes it so i dick everyone over, when i just wanted to insult the waitress.
Nope. It is entirely at the customer's discretion whether to tip or not in the UK, and failing to tip has zero social consequences, unlike in other parts of the world.
If a customer tips, it is intended for the server. He enjoyed charming, polite or interesting conversation, he enjoyed the attention to detail, he found the waitress sexy and wanted to impress her - whatever, when a customer tips that money is intended for the person who served him.
The fucking waiter/waitress.
If a customer wishes to tip the chef, then he would ask to speak to him and do it directly, however no person with any class and sense of propriety would insult a chef by offering him money in front of a room full of customers. The correct way to "tip" a chef is via complement and recommendation.
The only possible non-kiked justification for taking any cut of tips is to cover card transaction fees relating to the tip. This is fair.
If the restaurant has to pay £1.20 to the jew card-handling service, on a £100 bill plus £20 tip for the waiter, then it's only fair that the waiter pays his share of the transaction fee (£0.20).
