as in, I'm not sure Ive ever done it.. I am not sure I have
How much would you tip?
over 2 hours (close to 2.5) ....
a 9 yr old, his friend, a 2 yr old, a newborn, the wife, and myself
It wasn't that they were busy either.. people around us were getting served after us.. heck a few tables even sat after us, and left well before us
the kids chicken fingers were burnt (though they didn't care).. my steak tips were ok.. but I ordered a double order of one side, and I got one small small side
We asked for the salads to go when the check came, which we never got with our meal.. we would of asked our waiter if we ever saw him...
My wife wanted to have a few drinks, and I said I would drive (she usually does)..... and she got a a grand total of 2 drinks
What would you tip?? I couldn't tip below 10.. I tried... but I couldn't
no, this isn't a whine thread.. I want to know how many of you would of left less than me, and how many would of left what I did, or more
with the tip, the bill was 91 dollars

I would venture to guess you got judged by appearance as to be non tippers with the kids in tow. I hate when I am treated that way. I will not tip either. And if I am able to hold my tongue until the end of dinner I will usually tell the waitress what she did wrong. Usually I ask for a manager. Sounds like your was so screwed up I would have asked for a manager and have requested a different server at that point. And for sure they are much better at that point and I tend to then tip a bit more than normal on purpose.

nah.. Ive never been treated that bad with the kids.. I usually tip very well, and if they treat us nice, I will be very nice to them.. in fact, I would rather it be that way
I think they had some other function going on downstairs
the other staff was around the other tables, but we didn't see our waiter for time on time again

Fact remains that it is optional. Also unspoken rule that if you don't see your waitstaff for most of the night, they didn't actually work for more than that less-than-minimum wage now, did they?

Doesnt matter, they are working in a service capacity. If I feel they are under preforming in that service that badly I just wont tip. On the flip side I will generally tip more than 15% if the service is exceptional.

i would not have tipped in that situation if the service had been that bad and i'm usually a generous tipper. i don't believe in rewarding crappy service, it only encourages more of the same. if everything was that bad and there wasn't any attempt to make it up to you i would have left no tip and i would have spoken to the manger or owner.

I would agree with the comment card/get a manager thing. They should know exactly why you weren't tipping well (or at all) so they can improve in the future (and know that it wasn't because "you're being cheap").
My husband and I went out recently to dinner and I asked for a couple substitutions in the meal I wanted due to my current medical dietary restrictions (I explained why when I was asking for the subs). Waitress was totally cool and wrote it all down, but came back a couple minutes later apologetically and said they wouldn't be able to do one of the subs because of a price point difference (her manager had told her no). I was very disappointed but I knew it wasn't her fault, so I said to go ahead with what she could do.
Couple minutes later the manager came to our table and said I would be receiving what I requested, he was very pleasant, etc. When he left I told my husband "I don't know what our waitress said or did but she is getting a GOOD tip!" Turns out that by changing my order to something else, she was able to get me the foods I wanted without the hassle of the substitutions (which wasn't obvious when I was looking at the menu) and it even saved us a couple bucks overall. She got a 50% tip when we left and I left her a note thanking her for the awesome job she did.
edit: also, I believe that if the tips they receive do not bring their overall pay up to minimum wage, the restaurant must make up the difference. So I would not feel guilty about not tipping, or tipping poorly, if it was due to poor service (though I would still want to be sure they knew why). They're going to get paid one way or another.

The logic is that you're poor and thus too cheap to pay people for doing a job.

Well, yes, but it might be unclear to the waitstaff exactly what the statement was. They could view it as "I obviously didn't give good service to that table" or they might think the statement was "I'm a sucky tipper/cheap bastard" (aka NON).
Gotta make sure they know, in no uncertain terms, why they got no tip or a poor tip.

See the thing is you can leave a full 15% tip so long as you fill out the card.

I tip according to the level of service received. If it is bad enough, I have no problems leaving nothing but if I have time I will speak with the Manager so they understand.

Being a moderator I KNOW you're not new here but could you possibly save your reasonableness and helpful contributions for the 5th or 6th page. please?
We still have a LOT of bickering and name-calling and whining about below-minimum-wage workers and cheap jerk Americans who won't tip enough and stupid people who throw their money away needlessly ahead of us, here.
I don't want to have to tell you again.

I tip according to the level of service received. If it is bad enough, I have no problems leaving nothing but if I have time I will speak with the Manager so they understand.
Being a moderator I KNOW you're not new here but could you possibly save your reasonableness and helpful contributions for the 5th or 6th page. please?
We still have a LOT of bickering and name-calling and whining about below-minimum-wage workers and cheap jerk Americans who won't tip enough and stupid people who throw their money away needlessly ahead of us, here.
I don't want to have to tell you again.

another consensus from this thread
I thought I WAS making a statement by only leaving 10 percent..
A better message would have been no tip at all.

wait wtf people tip still?
Not everyone is a beggar like yourself, recession or no... =]
I would love to hear the logic(or lack there of) behind that. The waitstaff is the one "begging" for extra cash just for doing their job.
The logic is that you're poor and thus too cheap to pay people for doing a job. Get a real job, you mooch.
[/blockquote] rofl its not my responsibility to pay people to do their job....thats the responsibility of their employer. Learn how the real world works before spouting off inane crap again, kthnx.

Onslaught, when are you going to learn not to reply to NON in a thread about tipping? He is a lost cause, he lacks empathy.

Waiters around here usually make more per hour than i do, so my tip starts at 0%. If they just do their job, then no tip. Thats what they are paid to do after all. If they are extra friendly (without driving me nuts ), then i will tip 10%. I have tipped 200% before but that was because my daughter puked on the floor and the waitress that cleaned it up was still cheerful, and her only comment was "profanity happens" instead of freaking out.

My sisters were waiters when they were young and they told me early on if your unhappy with your service the most effective and polite way to do it is to end your tip with a penny. So if you were going to do 10% of the $91 I would have done $9.01. The theory behind it is if you just give $9 the server may think they did ok but you were just cheap, if you do $9.01 they know that you left a low about on purpose.
Also if they have to report / share their tips it looks bad if there are always pennies in the jar.
