****, you are the one that said he leaves a tip when he can "spare it"... who the **** can't spare money for a tip???
Do you know what bartenders like myself make a year at a good spot in South Beach???
Enough to not give a **** about leaving a good tip because I can.... Again, go save your pennies for McDonald's value menu you little broke *** ****
LOL do you spend your money on **** you think is pointless? Has nothing to do with the amount of money I have and everything to do with what I choose to use it on. YOUR the one acting like an entitled brat cause how dare I not give you extra money for doing your ****ing job correctly.
And your working in the wrong intoxicant bud, your making chump change compared to the booming marijuana industry. The marijuana stores haven't even opened here in Washington and there's already a shortage lol.
First of all, You are a ****** of the highest order. If a server does their job correctly... you give a tip, you cheap ****. I don't know what your limited brain capacity considers "Great Service", but if some one does their job well at a restaraunt and everything runs smoothly why wouldn"t you give them what they deserve???... I have no idea what is the difference between "great" service and "average" service is to you. But somehow, most other Americans understand to leave a tip when the service is "average" at best. I don't know what restaraunt you have been to that gives under the table hand jobs and only caters to yours and only your needs at every waking moment of your dining experience, but from your coments about "spare money" and all, I doubt you have been to anything that remotely resembles that. I'm not "entitled" to a tip at my job, and anyone can refuse it at anytime. But, if I give you what you asked for without anything going wrong in our transaction, the proper thing to do is leave a tip of any amount you deem exceptable. Usually that begins at the 15% range... It's how guests of an establishment show gratitude... "Thank yous" don't pay bills... by your logic, why would anyone wait tables or bartend?
I don't think I've told you anything you don't already know, But when you say "if I can spare the money", I think you shouldn't go visit a sit down full service restaraunt. It sounds to me that luxury is out of your budget. The whole service industry is based on people getting tips for doing "their job" you imbecile... if restaraunts actually had to pay atleast minimum wage to their wait staff, bussers and bar staff, because people think it's okay not to tip if their job is at worst "doing their job correctly"... No one would work at restaraunt and No one would open a ****ing restaraunt and all we would have is, maybe, fast food joints and of course home cooked meals. It's the way our society works here in America.
It's obvious no one taught you manners and common sense.
On your second point, which is even more retarded, why would I leave a 6 figure job for something that is not yet legal in the state of Florida?? Weed is easy as **** to find in Miami right now and if you do the math on what you make on a ounce of weed selling 1/2 eighths and eighths of every ounce here it's a no brainer what most NOT retarded people would do for a living.
Again, grow up and stop making people in the state of Washington look like jerkoffs.
If your not entitled and anyone can refuse to tip at any time then why are you arguing? I sincerely doubt you make in the 6 figures(which I imagine is pretty rare for bartenders in general), that's why your so fired up about this, you NEED those tips.
And flipping a oz? That's like step 1 in trying to be the lowest level street dealer, or a one off thing cause you want some extra change, nobody anywhere is gunna make alot of money on that. Growing and making products for the dispensaries is what I've been doing, everything from the regular plant to edibles to concentrates. If you can brave the changing landscape of the laws changing LOTS of money is to be had. Much more then what a bartender makes.
Good for you.
But Cane fan to Cane fan you need to change your philosophy on tipping or you'll go through life with lots of people thinking that you're a cheap *******.
Following on Cane1996's comments, you really ought to reconsider your non-tipping philosophy. Remember, servers make LESS than minimum wage (i believe something like 1/2 of minimum wage). The reason they are paid so little is the patrons are supposed to tip a minimum of 15%. Now in the rare circumstance that a waiter is rude or provides horrible service then the tip can certainly be withheld. But that should be the exception, not the standard approach of those who eat at restaurants.
If you're unwilling to tip you really should stick to buffet and fastfood restaurants. As I mentioned earlier, the waiter ends up losing money on a table when he does not receive a tip, because he has to pay out a percentage of his total receipts for the busboys, barbacks, etc.... Not to mention, he would have earned a tip had he been assigned to another table.
