Post subject: Why don't black people tip? |
  |
|
I've heard about 20 times from various servers in various restaurants that black people just don't tip their waitstaff.
Does anyone have any insight?

Same reason Pentecostals don't tip--they have less money.

Thats what I say everytime I see a black person. Then I remember that they would rob me in a heartbeat if I gave them the chance and I don't think about it anymore.

Post subject: why black people (or any other ethnic group) don't tip... |
|
|
Black people do get a bad rap when it comes to eating out. They are accused of being extremely demanding to the point of rudeness, to not leaving an adequate tip after receiving attentive service. First of all, let me say that I have been a server, bartender, and restaurant manager, in several different venues and cities, and I hate to admit it, but it is TRUE! I am a woman of color, and in my experience, blacks are clueless. It is most likely due to lack of education. But there is also a great deal of arrogance involved. I've heard the comments from fellow diners of mine, that it's the server's choice to work for tips, or that the "tip" is optional, etc. Although that may be true to an extent, the REALITY is that servers make less than $4 per hour running around trying to please many people at the same time. Servers "choose" this line of work because it can be lucrative financially, and also emotionally rewarding. There is instant gratification in waiting tables, seeing satisfaction on a customer's face when everything comes together during their meal. People need to just stop making excuses and face the facts, if you go out to eat and are served, you must pay for that service. If you would rather not pay for it, then you have several choices: drive thru, delivery (which also includes tipping), carry out. Seriously, enough whining about having to pay an additional fee after paying for your meal - this is the way it is and it will not change, so either tip, or stay home!

In Devon we don't have any blacks, so one simply can't comment on the matter.
I myself, am a lucrative tipper. If the waitress is attractive, she gets a crisp £20 note, a pinch on the bottom and a sly wink.
Males are less lucky. I normally ask whether they'd prefer £5 or to be rogered. So far, unfortunately, they've all taken the £5.
