7% is so unrealistic you ****ing ratted yourself out dipshit. We complain about 3% no service industry person in America would work somewhere you tip out 7%

Lololol

You're a scumbag liar...I know you're type. Just like you answer your door with a knife. You're a been there done that dipshit that hasn't really done anything.

7%? Hahaha

I knew he was full of shit earlier in the thread but he confirmed it after the whole 7% bullshit.

I worked too many years in the industry, I know better.

how many restaurants have you managed? If you are basing your whole argument that NOBODY TIPS 7% OF THEIR SALES. That kinda tells me you probably worked at one place and thats way less than what they did and you think you know everything.

maybe Applebee's doesn't require it, but there are nicer places that do. Believe it or not.

lol

Name the restaurant liar.

I worked at several restaurants in several big cities including Dallas and Chicago and basically every chain follows the same model and locally owned restaurants are generally 1.5-2% you ****ing liar.

7% is so outrageously unrealistic that I am 100% sure you're a liar.

Keep digging though.

Never worked at applebees...

I do know that 7% exists nowhere but keep digging, you're full of shit.

Whatevz, man...

I mean, some people don't do tips just like some people don't do gays.

lol

1.5-2%? lol

now I think that YOU are the liar. But who would lie about working in restaurants? So I think as a server, you worked a local place. The place is Yardhouse, my location did almost a million dollars in sales per month. What about yours? I also managed another smaller chain and their standard was %4 every night. Maybe it's not the norm, but it's the norm in the few places I've managed. None being local, but corporate or franchised. But that business sucks and am glad to be doing something else. There is nothing like babysitting people who don't take their jobs seriously, except yardhouse, they were much more strict.

God gets 10% plus whatever extra I can afford each month. No need for the " pastor " to be a jerk.

Ive never worked at a restaurant, but like Ive said earlier Ive dated a LOT of waitresses...Ive never heard of someone giving up 7% or anywhere close to it, that's just insane. I dated a girl for two years that waited tables at Mélisse (one of the most expensive restaurants in the US) and she only had to give up 4% of her tips. Not calling you a liar Bump but im very curious where this restaurant you're talking about is.

EDIT: Never mind I see you already answered...never heard of that one so I cant comment on it.

You were a manager at a restaurant that did $1M in sales PER MONTH and servers tipped out 7%?

Lolololololol

I wish I wasn't on my phone.

I was this guy when I waited. It was my job to provide superior service, and leave you smiling. If you made that impossible, it was never my fault. Because I didn't take ANYTHING personally. Why would I? It always amused me watching people break down and cry because some asshole was yelling at them. I knew they wouldn't last long. Being a big, hairy guy, I knew I had to WORK for my money. And I did.

You've pretty much nailed it down in this thread. You clearly worked in it in a variety of places and have a good understanding of the processes. I'll tell you what's really ****ed up though, is as been said in this thread, not everyone tips on alcohol but Landry's in Branson charged that 3.5% anyways. ****ers.

I never really made a bunch of money there unless I was bartending. That was a ****ing racket. No tip share, and I'd get 1% on the entire house alcohol sales. All the while taking the bar and tables outside on the deck. It was hot as **** out there, but I was good at running, and rarely got into the weeds. I knew my limits and people saw my work ethic. I'd have $500 Monday nights. That was great.

And yeah, non tippers are ****ing shitheads, but the only thing worse are servers that bitch and moan about how much money they make. I made way more money than I deserved for the job I actually did.

I just can't stand the tipshare deal. That is ****ing garbage and completely ****s the hosts, bussers, and food runners. I used to tip them out back in the day and they'd walk with cash in their pocket. Now, they're lucky to make $8 hr. Total horseshit.

Your tipshare is different. It was an expectation for servers to pay some cash. What we're talking about is 1.5-3.5% (Yeah, it was three point ****ing five!) that comes out of your cash and goes into the company drawers at the end of the night. They then distribute that money fairly (HA!) to the employees they're paying $4.50 an hour.

I tip 10 - 15% depending on my cash flow situation.

I tip 20% if service is REALLY good.

Why not?
