Surely you are not tipping $20 for them to bring you a bottle and open it right?

btw what are your thoughts on steep inheritence and wealth taxes to ensure people dont receive generational wealth simply from being born to wealthy parents?

When the French Revolution intercepted Louis XVI's letters to the other monarchies in Europe he essentially said I own everything in this country and the Revolution is insane. I'm taking it all back for myself at the soonest opportunity. I'm only playing along with these people to bide time but when the monarchy is restored I'm going to make sure everyone knows it's all my personal property.

It's kooky but people who receive life altering presents from their parents universally feel entitled to them. Even if they are rich and everyone else on Earth is poor. It's still theirs. Even if it's wealth of an entire nation. It's still their property in their estimation.

In light of that it's pretty easy to see why people who were literally starving to death cut all these people's heads off.

The thought of RSF claiming that someone — anyone — earns too much when he has never earned at all is just too ironic to ignore.

(from a, uh, self-serving waiter's blog, so take w/ grain of salt, but it's funny how RSF didn't drop some knowledge about tipping practices for private jet pilots)

your first point was rooted in people should earn based on their work, but then you said that it's "not coherent" as applied to generational wealth, with no explanation why. it's completely conclusory and one doesn't have to think too hard about why you feel differently between the two.

if anything the wine requires that whole performance show with pouring a little bit in and handing it to you to sniff and say "okay thats good"

just tip 15-20% on the total minus tax

ur truly fighting the hypo, whatever ur take is.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2).#48999865)

imagine if you have some michelin restaurant with a $600 food bill ($300 tasting menu x 2 or whatever and you've already got the most expensive possible food), and you get a $3000 bottle of wine.

this case shows how retarded it is for you to attempt to fight the hypo.

if your answer in that case is still to tip 20%, fine. but dont fight the hypo.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2).#48999994)

the intent of the hypo is to ask why he has to tip for something that is so easy to do (bring wine which the restaurant already gets bottled) as opposed something he perceives as harder to do (bring food which the restuarant has to make)

hence the objection that it doesn't fucking matter bc the server does the same amt of work

your explanation also makes zero sense becuase there is nothing about drinks that warrants tipping less except for the fact that the restaurant doesn't have to prepare it like they do food

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2).#49000005)

and this is a perfectly reasonable hypo to ask, especially in fancy restaurants where someone may have a 5 figure wine bill and the sky's the limit in terms of the wine bill and there's only so much you can possibly spend on food.

jew faggot

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2).#48999983)

im into whiskey and have racked up $1000 tabs. i am certainly not paying 20% on a $200 pour.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2).#49001337)

i havent given an answer. i havent been to a restaurant in 5 yrs

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2).#49000039)

i’d pay 180 in cash

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2).#49001133)

But I agree with you fraud is wrong. And some waiters steal people's credit cards. Restaurants that double charge people are likely failing as a business and falling behind. Waiters who steal should be prosecuted.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2).#49002531)

Also make sure the suggested tips aren’t after tax. That’s another of their tricks.

"And I’ve explained ad nauseam on this blog why “auto-grats” are slapped on to parties of six or more. Large parties eat slower than tables with two for four customers.

*** The way waiters and restaurants make their money is by “turning and burning” tables. I can make a lot more money serving several two-tops that take 1.5 hours to eat than getting my section clogged up with an eight-top that lingers over coffee until the busboys start swabbing the floors with bleach. (That’s restaurant speak for, “It’s time for you to go.”) ***

And if you’ve tied up my section the entire night and leave me a bad tip? Well then I’ve worked for nothing. Auto-grats are designed to protect waiters from cheap tippers like you, Dave."

it seems to me that eating and ordering quickly to facilitate a quicker table turn should count as part of the tip
