Why Tipping Is So Important Why Tipping Is So Important
If you are one of those despicable types who doesn’t believe in tipping and who frequents the same restaurants repeatedly, I GUARANTEE the servers are doctoring your food or throwing it on the floor and then back onto your plate or worse. If you don’t tip at least 15%, I bet you have ingested your server’s saliva at least once.
The restaurant profession has the same percentage of crazy people that other jobs have. People can be really sick, especially after suffering repeated rudenesses without an option of talking back.
Servers pass the work around in the restaurant to other servers when you come in again. Oh yes, they’ll be ready for you. You’ll just never know it.
Conversely, if you are a regular GOOD tipper, the servers may fight over the chance to wait on you. If I see one of my regulars sitting in a fellow server's station, I make sure to tell the server that he must get the best of service. These people are also the ones who get special favors, occasional food samples, and other freebies--whatever we can lavish upon them. A customer who tips well is almost always a pleasure to wait on in many respects.
