25% Gratuity plus Tax - Seriously?

[katrik]

Some high end waiters and waitresses take in 1k+ a week. Not bad, I say. Still hard to live comfortably on.

Its funny, ive always been a veru generous tipper because my friends have always worked in the food industry. I averaged around 25-50%, especially on low cost bills. I thought of myself as helping out people putting themselves through college, etc.

Then i moved to China.

I tried to tip here, paid my bill plus some and got up and left. The waitress/hostess literally chased me down to give me my change back. I was baffled. Tipping is not a part of their culture, they simply do not understand why you would offer more money than the price tag was. I tried to tip my delivery food driver, same deal. He was baffled as to why i would just give him more money then the price was. It just doesnt compute here.

Not to say that the service here isnt excellent. Waitresses are on point, they know there job well and they have no incentive to be good or bad, either way. Its just their job. Their job is to wait tables. Being good at it is part of the job description, not part of earning more tips.

I will tip less now when i go back. Eat dicks servers, your entitled. The people in China who refused my money make less than 600$ a month and are absolutely happy in their lives, and they bust their ass every day to pay their bills. There is no welfare in china. if you dont want to work, someone else does, and your ass will be on the street. seeing this in china made me sad for america. we have lost that hardworking spirit which helped us become such a great nation, now all these entitled fucks are ruining our country.

Some might say it is our generosity and sense of community that have made us great. Stay in China

Pookie is spot on and if anyone deserves a tip its the person cooking my food. People saying cook your own food your dumb. Its why someone pays 25 for a steak they can buy for 10 at the store. Always have found it dumb I have to tip the subway sandwich artist but my tellers that are 10x smarter and bust their ass at least as hard, make about the same when you count tips. Hell subway people prob make more since you know none of them claim a cent on their taxes.
