i just wrote a really long post but the system timed me out so i lost it. to sum it up:

maybe not by their clothes or what they look like, but it is possible to tell if someone tips or not. work in the service industry for a few years and i bet you would learn the signs. This is not 100% accurate but is a good indicator. (BTW the richest guy i know will never be seen in anything other than mesh shorts, a t-shirt and tennis shoes...he is a very good tipper and only drinks miller light) 2nd richest guy that i know drives a 1980's VW rabbit and wears velcro shoes from walmart....he is a pathologist. of course you cant tell by what they wear. and even if you can, the amount of money they have does not indicate how much they will tip.

you guys wouldnt work for free, and neither should servers.

Deeplines: of course they are serving you but they are doing it for money!! Any good server would take care of you no matter if you tip or not. would you work for free?

I would never expect a low maintenace customer to tip me big. i didnt earn it. but if you have me running around all night i do not think a decent tip is too much to ask.

extraordinary service is rare, and should be graciously rewarded.

if you do not tip or are cheap with it, do not expect anything but the minimum from your servers, especially if you are a frequent patron. Dont expect for every body to know your name when you walk in the door. And dont expect extrarodinary service because you think you are special.

A server can do many things to make your meal/ night out more enjoyable. take care of them and they will certainly take care of you. if they dont, they are a bad server.

I agree with how vs200b tips. that is how i do it. and no, skeeter, i do not have money shooting out of my ass. I do not eat out frequently and plan for the tip when i do. If i dont have the money to tip, i am not going to go out. i am not going to make a server take care of me and not tip them based on how well they did. This doesnt mean i will always tip a lot when i go out, but I make sure i have the money to tip the server with the super human gift of extraordinary service, which is what i think vs200b does. I look really young, so many people automatically assume i will no tip well. when i find a server who gives me great service, you better believe i tip them handsomely.

I think there is more involved in the service industry than most people think. it takes a lot to be a good server on a consistent basis.

we can debate this over and over on this thread but it is not going to change anyone's opinion on the matter. different strokes for different folks.
