Tipping waiters/waitress?

Question

i dont mean to be racist

but i see that the majority of black people dont tip nothing at all???

why is that?

Answer 1

They are not the only race that doesn't tip.  The majority of Asians hardly tip either.  I guess they feel they don't need to tip.

Answer 2

In Europe and most foreign countries have the gratuity built into the price of the meal.  Tipping is not a necessity; even poor servers get the tip

Answer 3

i understand what you are saying. however let me explain something else.

people are the same all over the world. any country and color.

they will either be a d**k, or someone cool, or even someone who has done your job before.

they will come in all colors and shapes.

I am a white bartender in the virgin islands. I get more euros that dont tip more than anything. even brits. we are told they are used to it being added in to their check, but after 4 years I dont think I believe that anymore.

Answer 4

My friend who is a waitress said the exact same thing to me last week - she got a 5 dollar tip on an 80 dollar bill - thats bulls**t!

Answer 5

I have not made the same observation.

I doubt that it's a racial trait. Perhaps the restaurants where you've see this are places where people who don't realize there's a hidden cost with the meal are likely to eat? I mean, if you didn't know a tip is expected, you wouldn't leave one, right?

Answer 6

I've never seen that

Answer 7

they are probably just ballin.

On a budget.

Answer 8

sunday church people don't tip. that is the observation that i had made when i was in the business. they also leave the biggest mess and ask for more than the typical customer. they wern't black, white, brown, yellow, or red, they were people whom had already tipped their church and thus apperantly done their good deed for the week.
