This question is ONLY asking about restaurants
that are physically located within Fairfax County.

Which one of the following customer is most likely to leave very little,
or no tip to the waiter after a meal? (assuming the service was great)

(1) white
(2) black
(3) Hispanic
(4) Asian (Korean/Japanese/Chinese)
(5) Asian (other, including Indians/Pakistanis)
(6) Arabs (including Iranians)

Thanks in advance for your feedback! :)

White

From my experience, quite awhile back, black people did not tip. They just didn't, nothing to to with the service. Next worst tippers were women in general I'm talking about the seventies and don't recall ever waiting on Asians, hispanics etc.

I work in a restaurant now, and it is a toss up between black people and indian people, both leave LITTLE TO NO TIP.

Hispanics

LMAO

Blessed are the murderous.

When I was in school working in a restaurant. Ass wipes left me a tip on note...Get a real job and don't sell apples on a monday. I do tip beyond 15%, mainly at $10.00 because I know what it like to "work" in a resturant serving fucking riff raffs, low lifes, slobs, foreigners, fuck ups, etc who are no better than anyone else. Today, I respect any servers, waiters, and waitress at the table or behind the counter because they are working jobs to support family and themselves...they could be sticking a gun in your face and making more money.

If Jewish people are added, then Christians should be, too. From what I hear, after church on Sundays are the worst time for receiving tips.

I have been in the restaurant biz for almost 15 years now, and hands down, women eating together, especially at lunch or during rest. week, ARE THE WORST. They will run you like crazy and then fuck you on the tip. Race wise - African Americans win the #1 position. White guys in general will tip 20% + if you do a great job (which you should) or if you are young and cute, or to impress their chick. Asian tourists (Japan, Korea, etc.) tip very well. Hispanics ususally tip at least 20%, I think it's because they know the restaurant business better than anyone around here. They hump there asses off at the restaurants they work at, trust me! Euro tourists don't tip for shit or at all, they aren't used to it. But they do appreciate the service because it is better than they are used to, but still, no tip.

Back to the women tippers, they HATE cute female servers regardless of the service. BTW, ask my male server friends and they'll tell ya they get no more than 18 %, even if the service was great and the guy was cute.

In South Carolina, is'a all BLACK folks. I'm not sure about Ffx. though.

I went to Clydes in Chevy Chase a year ago, spent about $150 and this lazy cocksucker couldn't keep my water glass filled if his life depended on it. He got a twenty for his lame effort. My girl gave me shit when I told her in the car, she used to wait tables, I felt it was totally in line.

A lot of these waiters think 15% is some sort of obligation or minimum. I usually do 20% just because it's easier math, many times I exceed it.But I think in no way should anyone deserve the minimum if service sucks.

Yes, I'm white!

Old people tip like shit too because they have no concept of the current value of a buck. I used to go to lunch with Grandpa, I'd have to sneak a few bills onto the table behind his back when he insisted on paying. He'd literally leave a single or some coins and think nothing of it.

When I worked in a restaurant some of the black wait staff wouldnt even want blacks at their stations because of the stigma of poor tippers. My experience is that there are alot of people of all types that leave nothing regardless of the service.

Old people were the worst they would bitch and moan about everything and stay for hours. By the amount of their tips I think they thought it was still 1930 when a quarter meant something.
I leave 25% of the bill because I know how bad restaurant work is for the wait staff. I figure in the people that leave nothing or next to nothing and those that just walk out without paying.

When I was in restaurants, we would have to do rock-scissors-paper to see who got the black customers because they tipped so badly. We constantly called them 'Canadians' though, in case anyone ever overheard. "Bad day today, I had three tables of Canadians", etc.

Damn, I had forgotten about that completely til now. Thanks, Fairfax Underground!

aside from your people with hospitality experience, the people who tip best are the ones who grew up going out to eat and watching their parents tip. believe it or not, there are large segments of people who just never went out to restaurants, or never went to restaurants that had wait service when they were growing up.

if the service is offensively bad, 10% and don't go back.
lazy servers who aren't getting slammed but are otherwise distracted, 15%.
normal friendly service that you would expect, 20%.
getting hooked up with free shit? feeling generous? server went above and beyond? over 20%.
takeout = 10%
delivery = 15%

if you think this is too much or cant afford it, you cant afford to have people wait on you. stay home.

ps. if you're going to be a dick, do it AFTER you get your food.

We used to call them Canadians too. This was back in the midwest when I waited tables in college. When blacks or old people came in, we would all try to call not it. We never had Indians, Asians or Hispanics, so I don't know how to compare with them. From living here though, I can tell Indians are cheap as shit.

What's brown and rhymes with snoop?

Dr. Dre

I tip based on service, how friendly the waiter\bartender is and how much time I occupy their station\table.

If I'm sitting at the bar for four hours and I only drink two beers then I'm going to tip more then the regular amount because that seat at the bar could of made more money for a bartender.

Also if bartenders give me free stuff or if there is some incredible special like .75 drafts. Obviously I'm not tipping .25, I may tip three bucks for two beers which would be something 110%. Seriously $5 dollars is not going to kill me and almost criminal to pay in a bar.

If you frequent a place, tip good and you'll get great deals.

Oh and a tip jar at a register where I place an order is complete bullshit. You want me to tip you for standing at a cash register taking my order? No fucking way.

I am working for pizza hut in the morning buffet the last three year and afro-american almost nothing, white people with many kids are very cheap or no tips, and white 25-45 year almost 75% no tips, is really suck to have 60 cent /person tip average. what about 18-20% tips or $1 per person all you can eat?those people don't left tip deserve a big traffic ticket or their car be crash.

I hated a table of blacks. They never tipped.

I had nothing to do with slavery.

Why?

Many many people think buffets, being self-serve, require little to no tipping.

This is, IMHO, totally understandable.

[I still tip if there are servers of some type for anything]

I tip 15 to 18% always, good service or bad service doesn't matter.

What happens with blacks and the mandatory 20% for a party of 5 or 6???

I agree you will work your ASS off for a table of white women more than anyone else... continuously asking for more crap, stuff off the menu, special orders, A BOWL OF LEMONS, it never ceases to amaze me and usually the pay off is pretty weak for the service.

I tended to notice that black couples tipped well, along side whites, and surprisingly mexicans and middle easterners. You get larger parties of blacks and families of hispanics and asians and you can easily see tips that borderline on offensive.

That's because they put all of the change and cash from their wallets into the collection basket..

Mkay....


1) Blacks
2) Ugly white woman
3) Military (No hate, just thrut)

i only tip what people deserve, and more often than not, because of the color of my skin i get the kind of service that makes me believe that my server must post on this site, honestly i had a nice steak dinner at a certain place downtown, and before my food reached the table i could actually hear the server tell another person to take the plate for him , because that nigg will send it back when he sees what i did, so i went to the manager and had him try my steak, when he tasted the cumshot I felt my 2 cent tip was exactly the message that needed to be sent.

honestly if i had not heard him i woulda assumed he meant someone else and would have had a very salty steak....

i have even been known to tip the people at ihop a good 40% because if my coke comes out ice cold with no ice and my onion rings are fresh its pretty fucking hard for me to not recognize the good job.

sadly though i can honestly say that corporate white people are the worst to tip, i had a business lunch at a local sushi house, after a 400$ meal of "carnival sushi" that was beautifully made with well executed star patterns in the rice he scoffed off " well id tip them but damnit they dont even have Jack Daniels here" i had to come back and tell the chef in japanese my apologies for the "sakenomi" .... and passed a grant his way. thank god they recognize me and are still willing to make me food not on the english only menu.

I bartended in restaurants and nightclubs for years, and the worst -

As a race, blacks, hands down. No one wants to wait on them. Not even black servers. Clubs in my old city were always looking for something different to do on Sunday nights - gay night, whatever...just to bring in a crowd on a slow night. One club in which I worked tried a black night...although I am sure it was labeled hip-hop or whatever. After the first week, it was cancelled. No one would agree to work it again.

As a group, women. I remember one club where a group of young women came in and took one of the waitress's 6 tables and parked there all night...just ordering water and treating her like shit...and getting free drinks from guys all night long. They never left her a dime...and came in week after week and always seemed to end up in her section. One day I saw her walking out of the employee restroom with her tray and four glasses of water. She served them with a smile. Can't remember her name, but she was plucky.

Be careful who you treat like shit.

"I went to Clydes in Chevy Chase a year ago, spent about $150 and this lazy cocksucker couldn't keep my water glass filled if his life depended on it. He got a twenty for his lame effort. My girl gave me shit when I told her in the car, she used to wait tables, I felt it was totally in line."

Man, you really showed him, didn't you? You shorted that waiter $2.25 off of his "standard" 15%. Wow.
You claim to have received sub-par service, yet still left $20 on the table. Regardless of the total bill, help me reason that one out, would ya?
And your "girl" is a cunt if she thinks that she should have been rewarded for poor service during her time at Western Sizzlin'

"takeout = 10%
delivery = 15%"

Fucking seriously? Did you really say 10% for takeout? You're the jackass who drops cash in the "tip jar" whenever you see one, huh? So, I go get Chinese, Pizza, whatever. I drive there. I pay for my food. Then, on top of that, I'm supposed to give another 10% for...what???

Tipping has gotten out of hand. Tip for quality service or product. If you've got some douche who barely speaks English, is rude, could care less, generally sucks at his incredibly simple job, etc, etc...you stiff the fucker. Simple as that.
Why oh why oh why oh why...would you admit to receiving poor product or service, yet still reward for it?!?!?!

If you give a dog a biscuit each time he shits on your floor...what do you think is gonna happen?

Oh wait, I guess I'm just cheap and should stay home...because I have some common sense and am not afraid or embarassed to tell someone they suck at what they do.

I used to wait tables and the blafricans are by far the worst tippers followed by sand niggers.

Teachers that come in for lunch are just as bad as the colored! One time this bitch left me a quarter so I followed her out and gave it back saying she left some change on the table!

Waited tables part-time in college and can say that blacks hands-down left the worst tips. Ironically, they were also the most demanding and ordered the most food. Also, women who order salads and a water during their lunch break suck. Young white people with no kids tip the best.

Since when does takeout rate a tip? Traditionally takeout was not tipped. Delivery yes.

Nice way to invoke more racism on FU. You're a fkn ahole. At any rate, whoever it may be... I find if you always tip your bartender on a regular basis you'll end up getting free drinks later down the road. Never f over your frequently visit bar, alcohol is expensive and it's rewarding at times to bring a local skank to your bar and get hooked up on drinks once in a while. Just sayn'

Indians and blacks are the worst tippers.
Male bar tenders dont deserve any tips. Most of them will flirt and give free drinks to sexy women that come up to the bar and serve the rest of us really badly and actually demand tips from us. How is that fair? How would you feel?

I always heard that adult black women left the least while being very fussy to servers.

Yep. +1

To be judgemental by ethnicity is a real 'show' of dicrimination and prejudice, and should be very delicately put.
I would think it should be more 'measured' by one's income capability(s). Not by 'ethnic background'.
The African American women, for example, has a distinct 'edge' on most all income earners, in general, speaking, than any other ethnic/gender 'out there'/in the FX or the entire DC Metro area, for that matter. 'Between' the Women's Liberation Organization (WLO) the NAACP (named for ALL colored people yet ONLY help the African American and NO OTHER COLORED PEOPLE that do not lie about being one, in which is discriminating in itself) and last but not least, the Gay Liberation Org - whom anyone can simply lie and say they are gay to be represented by them - and then there's a Lesbian group as well (forgot the name) - whom any Untrustworthy African American woman can 'muster-up' to get their greedy 'mitz' on cash thru the threat of a law suit to sustain a job w/unearned advancement and retention with any employer nationwide. With all this FACT 'in mind', they have the most potential to be the highest earners out there, regardless if they actually are or not, so they should be the best tippers w/any service, especially at any given restaurant, even with 'bad' service.
Yet they are typically, the worst. In general, they are 'nasty' towards the waitress/ers, they are always complaining and never 'happy' know matter how hard one 'dances' for them in any 'given' service to them. Probably generated by the same guilt stemming from the fact they know they have such an immoraly gained edge on everyone in the DC region to have more money than anyone of/in any groups Special Interest Groups around.
I agree with all the 'posts' in this thread 'targeting' the African American especially and including same (females). They emenate with what used to be referenced as 'reverse discrimination'. They carry with them an 'embedded-hate' passed down relentlessly from generation to generation with the forever WRONG and totally immoral attitude that this country and everyone in it 'owes them' forever over their 'self declared' declaration that it was Slavery way, way 'back then', when MANY people, INCLUDING white's and the rest, were toiling just as hard or harder for less than 'them'. They have forever SELFISHLY and FALSLY proclaimed they were always treated the WORST as a 'whole', and no one of any other ethnic background suffered equivically, which EVERYONE knows is a huge LIE.
Everyone KNOWS this and is sick and tired of being tired and sick of this FALSEHOOD back by nothing less than what is simply 'today' nothing less than the reality that it IS the African American's who 'generally' are the most dicriminating. It IS so obvious in this day and age it IS pathetic.
Now don't be disrespectfully PRESUMPTUOUS with your discriminations, as well. I am saying 'in general'. I and many others have met and known MANY very good and moraly correct/wonderfull African Americans that clearly 'stand-out' among the rest. There is just so much of an over-whelming' majority that 'suffer' as detailed here-in, and not 'limited-to' the African American blacks, as well.

Race doesn't necessarily mean jack, but a blue collar person is going to tip in higher percentages. These are the folks whom get it, much more so than the rich, snooty bastard who got their money by bending someone else over the table. If I still waited tables, I'd request name tag folks of all ethnicities, as they are the best tippers period.

How very well and Intell-Actually put, Judgement By Ethninicity! If we/they all could only, as intelligently, 'rise out of the Dark Age of Ignorance' as well! But then, they (the truly discriminating ones - always have an excuse - backed with more Ignorance.) Oh! - and YOU forgot to be perfect!

My 'Judgement By Ethnicity?' remark was in witnessed support of Obvious Is Obvious! And this emphasized, it IS a fact that the African American Female(s) have the over-all better potential to have and to hold the higher paying jobs, no matter what, especially in the DC Metro area. They 'famously' as a 'whole', RARELY display this fact thru what is supposed to be commonly accepted 'tipping' with-OUT a bunch of WHINING and COMPLAINING to justify same. And when the 'reverse' scenario is applied, the African American female is also, by 'CONtrast', the worst waitress as well, always 'expecting' a large tip when they know their 'service' sucks backed with nothing less than a LAZY, ROTTEN, 'similar' attitude.

Dika Dika IS a Lying KUNT!

Horrible tippers in order of crappy tips:

1. Asians (now this is not every Asian, but ethnic ones, not US born)
2. Blacks (including Africans)- They do not care to give their hard earned nickle away!
3. Hispanics (NON US BORN....Latin American and sur of the border) Because they have no money and no yob.
4. Indians (and not the Native American kind)
5. Arabs - Because they are entitled to beyond awesome service
6. Canadians - Eh?
7. Hispanics (of all sorts, but mainly US born citizens) Because they know where they came from and despise the other group of so called Hispanic Amigos....
8. White (Americans) Because it is nice to show your gratuity for quality service.

I gave them the best tip in the world...I told them to get the @#$% out of my country! They get enough of my tax dollars as it is. No more money for them!!!

Arabs are by far the worst tippers.

What a racist thread!!! Judging someone before they have even walked in the dooris so lame!!Im, black,- one of those "races" that you are criticising -I usually tip at a minimum of 20% depending on the service.

As with all such categorizations, it is NOT the individual that matters when the ones on the receiving end are composing their impressions, it is the general experience. Those impressions can be strongly shaded by bias, of course, but you simply can't otherwise argue with whatever they are unless you've been int heir shoes (I haven't been in their shoes so haven't got a clue whether what they believe is crap or not).

[I think I've "gone on record" here denigrating the False Science of race - far better to look at cultures than bogus "race" as the key factor - it's simply easier to look at something silly like skin color instead]

If it is racism how do you account for the blacks on the wait staff who do not want blacks as customers?

Clearly black people are the worst tippers.

The best: other servers/bartenders, anyone who has ever bartended, and what I haven't seen mentioned yet - business professionals who will expense the tab.

(1) white
(2) black
(3) Hispanic
(4) Asian (Korean/Japanese/Chinese)
(5) Asian (other, including Indians/Pakistanis)
(6) Arabs (including Iranians)

In my experience, lepers usually leave the biggest tips.

It's wrong if ANYONE prejudges people based on their race- and makes assumptions.
There are ignorant people of all races. Its one thing to rant about any person that is too cheap to tip, but when you start trying to stereotype those people based on race, that is lame. mean spirited. Of course these kind of anonymous forums bring out the worst in people.

This is so racist. Everyone is equal. Everyone tips equally. Race isn't even real it's fake. It's a social construct. Black albinos are indistinguishable from whites.

Democrats are the worst tippers, irregardless of race or color. That could explain why black folks don't tip well since most of them are democrats.

The spics and the spades. worst ever.

Priuse drivers tip the worst!!!

I'm I waiter, and I'm black, and I'm from the hood, but I do not like serving any kind of black ppl, old or young, and the church ppl are the fucking worst. Up there with blacks I can't by no means stand arabs, they stink, the women are idiots and the men are assholes, with there dog smelling asses. Yea 2 of the worst tippers, and will run the shit out of you, regardless of how many tables you got. I always give these ppl the worst service because I know they give the worst tips.

Must suck to be one of the 5% whose reputation is diminished by the actions of 95% of blacks.

Blacks. They're called SPODAs (Niggers don't know they SPODA tip) for a reason.

Call it racist if you want but it isn't racist if it's true.

Niggers don't tip well (if at all). Period.

Your mom.

You left out the main non-tipping group - the elderly. In my day it was rare to get bad tips but usually it was my black patrons in groups. Literally they would leave pocket change on a $50 check (that was in 1985 money). In my many years of waiting (paid my way through college) did I follow a group out and give them the 'tip' back. I said 'excuse me but you left some change on the table.' That was it. No sense getting fired over some bouffers...
