One example:

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=10 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=text>Tipper's Name: Lisa Collins</TD></TR><TR><TD class=text>Restaurant: Ruby Tuesdays</TD></TR><TR><TD class=text>Where it happened: DC</TD></TR><TR><TD class=text>Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $91.95 / $0.05 / 0%</TD></TR><TR><TD class=text>What happened:
This lady was outrageous. I knew from the second she walked in that she was going to be difficult, so I bent over backwards to try and please her and her table of friends. The kitchen accidentally put sourcream on her loaded fries, and she flipped out on me and the kitchen manager. On top of this, she did not just leave a nickel cash, but actually WROTE IT ON HER CREDIT CARD!! I wish she would have left the nickel, so I could have thrown it at her head! </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

I think I tip too much. It's a bad habit I learned from a former best friend who was a bar tender/waiter.

On St.Patricks day I bought 2 beers that came out to 4$ but left a 5$ as a tip. Well the bartender, she was cute. But what the hell, it's not a strip club.

How about this one:

<table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="text">Tipper's Name: Michael Jordan</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="text">Where it happened: Chicago</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="text">Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $487.24 / $20.00 / 4%</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="text">What happened:
I have always admired Michael Jordan. He is a great player and seems to be a pretty good guy (with his various donations and efforts for kids). When he came in I was pretty nervous about serving such a high scale celebrity. He was with a group of friends (one of whom I believe was also a Bulls player). This occured a little while after his 6th championship. He was not very friendly, but wasn't rude by any means. I took it to mean that he did not want special treatment, and just wanted to relax for the evening. None the less, I spent the entire evening focusing on his group and giving him excellent service. All for a 4% tip. A few months later Dennis Rodman came in and even asked me to sit down with them because I was "working too hard." He ended up leaving me a 100% tip (bill and tip were both about $700). Just goes to show that an athletes attitude on court isn't always the same off.</td></tr></tbody></table>

This happened a few years ago, when he actualy could play the game. I guess all of that "I am Tiger Woods" bullshit went to his head. When I first visited the table, I was told that I was not to speak directly to Mr. Woods nor to his white trash whore girlfriend (who he probly picked up on OBT) From there they all demanded for me to keep a constant vigil over their table. O' of course they sent back items, explaining that it's not what they ordered,(I guess with being black and oriental he can't see nor can he read all that well). Not only where they a pain in the ass, and took up my table for over 2 1/2 hr. and then left me a $4.00 tip. But I did get the last laugh. I hoped they liked the taste my ball sweat in their drinks all night.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

So funny how the Tigers and Jordans of the world are such cheap prima donnas---like just getting to wait on them is privilege enough. While the Rodmans are the generous ones. :puppy:

black people are notoriously bad tippers. the stories about scottie pippen and michael jordan are legendary in chicago. have also heard very similar ones about oprah and tiger woods. i wonder what oj simpson tipped that limo driver in 1995?

i personally always give 20% unless the service sucks. then i give around 12%.

Joseph F Doerr Asheville 2 $41.79 / $6.00 14%

14% a bad tip? not a great tip but 15% is the standard. maybe the service wasn't top notch either

I can attest to this as well.
Waited tables through college and (I like black people) blacks tended to not tip very well.
Anyways, I tip a minimum of 20% now-and if she's hot or I got EXCELLENT service, the tip goes on the up and up.
People that don't tip piss me off.
If you can't tip-you are in the wrong restaraunt.
If you can't tip-order food to go (even though it is customary for a small tip here as well)

And to top it off at the fancy places the server gets maybe 30% the gratuity after tipping the bartender busboy backserver and manager. People spend 500 and think why should I leave this guy 100 when he has other tables and must make a fortune. some places the kitchen and owner even get a cut.

I hate cheap celebrities. Obviously the whole place is bending over backwords to please them. And they show no respect.

I usually tip ~20% to the nearest Bill when I'm in the US... about 10% in the UK, 15% in Cyprus..

Back in the day, a coworker said he was going to put a ton of visine in a prick's Sprite-and that it would induce vomiting.
Don't remember what happened, and don't know if it's true or not.

I take it you're not really a poet, like your posting name implies, but a waiter. Makes sense now since you forgot the "m" in your name anyway!

I was a waiter for a few months, I wouldnt be upset over that. You shouldnt expect more money just because they are celebs. 5 Bucks no tip is not a big deal. That's really only a dollar tip anyways.

Let's face it. It's really just a forum/site for waiters/waitresses to vent, after a bad shift.
