    At the very least it means that you're top of the list when there's multiple orders.
    Haha...I'll keep that in mind.
    I do quite often get a sincere "thank you" from the drivers. I delivered Pizza with my 1970 Challenger when I was 19. Couldn't believe how many people never tipped. Tips really helped with my gas money

    How far would you go to get this? I know some Beyonders that could use your gentle touch, even if it's just tip for tip.

    Yes, let's resurrect the Beyond foodie crew. Start off slow with open kitchen and bring a black light, this thread got me all paranoid with my food now.

    Let us pick you up though, with this modern society, don't want the metre maid expecting a tip, tow yard expecting a tip.

    Yup same thing 20 years ago when I did it. I'd say a good 1/3 of people didn't tip or it'd be "keep the 16 cents".

    A lunch order last month. Very generous company.

    Now some treat free delivery as free. Like you don't tip UPS lol

    One of these will make up for all the non tippers.

    percentage (15%) is respectful but not as baller as what the propose standards are (so 20% and up?)... which is crazy, the AMOUNT $120, is already a decent amount. but imagine if this was a Beyonder customer doing their 30%

    For what it's worth, I don't use the new 15 / 18 / 20% tipping scheme or whatever it is now, I guess I am oldschool.

    If I have nothing to remark on the service, 15%
    if there were some hic ups that kept me waiting 10%
    Major issues 5%

    and I am not afraid to zero it out if it absolutely sucked.

    So time to twist the topic of a bit. For all the ballers proposing 20 to 25%, does it change when the bill gets higher? or does the % drop lol

    I got the second tip of my 24 year career this last summer, from an American who insisted I take it even though the service call was covered by the landlord. It felt kinda strange to be payed twice for the work, but whatever I guess. 100.00 US on a 160.00 CDN service call.
    I guess tipping trades people is big in the US.

    Nope, nothing there. Had nowhere to park. Ran in to talk to the contractor for 20 minutes.
    But I did get a parking ticket in Bridgeland AND a photo radar on the same day last week.
    *shrug* cost of doing business!

    That looks like the standard tip that's automatically set for groups of 6 or more. Every restaurant has that policy.
    And probably an expense account. My buddy paid for a restaurant/bar tab for his group of managers...bill came to over $8,000.

    Those don't impress me at all.

    ^^^

    Can definitely agree that if it's on the company's dime, then it doesn't matter 15/20/25% etc. haha

    Do you guys tip the server the same if the food is fucked up, from no fault of the server? Tipping should be built into the price of the food, and restaurants should just pay the servers a salary, with no tipping allowed. I watched Tom Colicchio bring up this point on First We Feast(Video Here) and it makes a lot of sense.

    It's probably a big risk for the restaurant, as there is potential blowback from implementing this system.

    Personally I feel that system encourages even poorer service as there's no incentive for the waiter to be a "better" server. No matter the level of their service they'll still get their wage.
    I don't know if it's even still done, but years ago at some fine dining restaurants, servers "paid" for their job to the restaurant, and made their money on tips alone. (Like strippers at lap dancing establishments!! )
    As for tipping when the food is no good, that has only happened to me once where it was bad enough I had to say something. Sure there's the "oh I ordered mushrooms with that" and they simply fixed it right away. Didn't affect my tip at all.
    But I was at ORU in Vancouver one time for an expensive meal and ordered a Ribeye. They brought out some wet, grey looking piece of meat that had some weird liquid sauce on it that I couldn't even finish. Looked like it had been steamed. Apparently it was one of their signature dishes. I was almost apologetic to the waiter but told him straight up that that was the worst tasting steak I had ever had in my life. They offered another entree but there was nothing I liked, so they comp'd my entree, and a $100 bottle of wine as well as both our deserts.
    I tipped him extra well.

    This for me. Calgary restaurant (and especially bar/pub) service is already notoriously bad at all but the best restaurants. 9/10 servers seem to do the bare minimum and I am by no means a needy or picky customer.

    When servers are making $15/hr I will probably tip between 0% and 10% compared to the current 15%-20% that I pretty much do by default right now.

    Typically I get better service at a TGIF or Chili's in the USA than I do at a $100/person restaurants in Calgary. In Calgary, servers know that they can do pretty much what ever they want and still get 15-20% from the majority of customers.

    At $15/hr if everyone is doing the bare minimum their job requires, I don't really see why any tipping should happen at all.

    Is this place any good at all, it's been there since I was a kid and still to this day in business. I've been tempted to try it but just never got around to going there.

    This, pay them flat rate to do a job like EU and Asia. If it was above and beyond, then tip.

    To be honest, I actually didn't know it was a thing not to tip in EU after I had a Belgian waitress run all the way after me down the street to tell me "You forgot your €3 monsieur" then a brief statement of her explaining that they get paid decently enough not to require a tip.

    Not so much in Asia but I still welcome the nonexistence of no tipping there as well.

    IMO Wellingtons is in the same class as Caesars... old school steakhouse that has been around forever. (And same owners)

    This place is majestic as fuck IMHO. I don't even look at the crew as servers they're more like temporary butlers, short of wearing white gloves. Steaks usually cooked by that dude with the long sideburns that looks like he came from a top rated Disney movie.

    After ur main course before dessert, love how he gets a little handbrush to clean the table cloth.

    Not many Asians likes to drive Fords, and most wouldn't fix their dings or just diy with hammers. Now, ginger beef, chicken fried rice, fortune cookies; now that's a venture to consider there.
