This woman offends me… a lot.  Not only her demeanor, but when she exposes her butt cheek to the camera at the end. 

If you have any class at all, you give a reasonable tip!

Tipping IS a choice….
The fact that someone ran out after her basically begging for a bigger tip is even more insane.

That lady is a bit off the crazy end however…

Except the mooning and loud ranting, she is not THAT offensive.
Just a little disturbed….

A 5 minute rant on tipping…. this is why I don’t view these types of vids on youtube =)

After a couple minutes I had to turn her off.

I was tempted to do the same, but decided to see it through.

It’s funny how people accept jobs expecting tips to cover the majority of their income.

I am so tired of the tipping issue.  If you want to make more per hour…get a different job.  If you want the flexibility of working in a restaurant, then deal with the crummy pay.

I have asked Jason to leave a larger tip, b/c I know the server isn’t keeping the whole thing.  They give some to the host/ess that sat you, some to the bussers, some to the bartender…etc.  If our server was really excellent (I have noticed this is more important as I take my kids out to eat), then I make Jason throw a little more in.  If the server was only so-so…then I don’t mind if he doesn’t leave a full 15% of the bill.

And some people are going to tip well whether the service was crummy or not…others are going to not tip at all, even if they were treated like royalty.

True, people wo can reasonably expect tips *do* get paid less, even less than minimum wage, in some areas.

In many cultures, however, tipping just isn’t something they *do*. It’s not because theyr’e cheapskates or anything, it’s just that service is generally assumed to be part of the cost of the meal.

I try to tip when I can. Usually 10 or 20 percent, since it’s easier to figure, though I’ll often just ‘round up’ to the next full dollar amount.

Even when I was homeless, and coming into the local Denny’s for a cup of hot tea and some toast to tide me over until morning, I would startle the waitresses by leaving a tip.

I will admit to leaving an ‘insult tip’ of a single nickel once, due to some staggering incompetance and rudeness on the part of the server, but my usual response to such annoyances is to write in ‘No Tip’ in the section for such things on the credit slip.

When dining on Halloween, I have been known to leave a tip for $6.66, which is fairly generous considering I rarely top $15 for my meals.

Truthfully, when I was homeless I couldn’t afford to buy a cup of coffee.  I can see the servers being startled with you though. 

I’ve found that it is the poor who frequently tip best without hesitation, or give more generously from what they have, than those who are financially able to ‘posture’ haughty judgment by withholding even a tip.

And her race has nothing to do with your opinion?
I read some of the comments for that video and wondered if any were by you…

She also said they pooled the money they had left.

Kinda hard to leave a “reasonable” tip when you don’t have the money with you.

Maybe it is a culture thing, but I feel if you can’t afford to tip, then you should eat out at places where you aren’t served.  I do rely on tipping for a good portion of my income from my second job, if I drive 10 miles both ways to your house to bring you a pizza, I expect a little something.  The delivery fee doesn’t cover the gas for that far.  I use my own car, my own gas. etc.  If you can’t tip me, you need to go get it yourself.  That is just my opinion.  A lot of people don’t, but a lot do.

Thats the thing tho.

They where clearly eating out a high end place if their bill was that high.
Just bad planning on their part? Hmm?
