I did read both pages (come on, seriously?) and I agree with FT's post 100%.

GUYS, What is your Perspective on Tipping

So they're making gratuities illegal, I think it's a nationwide thing.

Ugh, poor servers. Now they're gonna get one huge party, and could see something like $20 for it (at least for the ignorant people). That could be your whole shift. I always dreaded big parties, big tip or not. They're usually too in conversation with each other to notice I'm here for your order. God forbid you show them the same respect, though!

Glad I got out of that business. My fiancé is getting into management just in time, too.

Is this just for automatic gratuities on large parties?

The Internal Revenue Service will soon begin classifying automatic gratuities as service charges that are taxable as regular wages and subject to payroll tax withholding.

This will likely force restaurants to get rid of it.

The restAurant I work for (Longhorn Steakhouse) has already gotten rid of it. I believe the other restaurants under the same owner (Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Capital Grille) have all ceased auto-gratuities as well.

Longhorn Steakhouse is opening here soon. Never tried it before. How's the food?

I actually really like it. And that's after eating it multiple times a week for the past three years. We don't freeze out steaks or chicken like certain other places, which helps.

Food and service has always been excellent at the location I go to. It's mine and my wife's favorite place for steak. Closest one is a couple hours away but the wife and I go there at least twice a year since we discovered them.

Ribeye is excellent and they also do a bacon wrapped sirloin that is top notch.

If the bill is less than $50, right?

My tipping procedure is simple:

20% when I walk in the door. You go up and down from there. It's tough on me to leave any less than 15%, and if I do I'm speaking to the manager respectfully before I do.

I leave at least $5 on bills $20 or less.

The world needs more people with this mentality.

Re: GUYS, What is your Perspective on Tipping

I can't think about the logic of the system of tipping because then it really starts making little sense to me. Typically I'll max out at 20% and start there, but I will go as low as I feel the service warrants. I think the lowest tip I've left was enough change to make the ticket a round number. It was a terrible meal.

Re: GUYS, What is your Perspective on Tipping

I'm too poor to be throwing $5s but yeah I usually tip $3 on a $12 check just cause I feel weird tipping a $1.50 in a restaurant like my other friends do when we go out.

I've never had a bad experience, but based on how I was raised I'd leave little to none if everything sucked
