Ok, so I just got my Papa Johns delivery, and I am looking over the receipt, when I come across something interesting. They charge you for them to deliver the pizza. Now I have no problem tipping people, but my question is this:

Should you HAVE to tip the driver if they are already giving him/her the delivery charge?

^ Dude, that's not funny at all. I'm not really sure why you're laughing about it. Did you honestly sit there for 30 minutes like a dumbass waiting for someone to bring you menus, instead of going back to the front and asking where your server is? You sat there for 30 minutes staring at your table with no server instead of asking someone about it? For all you know, you could have been assigned to another server who was being irresponsible and doing something in the back. So then the manager tells a different server that works there to pick up your table since you've been waiting so long... and at the end of the meal, you give her a penny. What the f*ck kind of insulting shit is that??? If you weren't happy with your service, you only give a 10% tip. And trust me, a 10% tip (ie, $3 on a $30 meal) is like a slap in the face for any server. Servers only work for tips and they don't get a paycheck(they make $2.13 hourly that goes towards taxes).

So many people really need some lessons in proper etiquette and manners. How would you like it if your mother was working her ass off in a restaurant to feed you, and some little sh*thead kid gives her a penny (one of the most insulting, degrading, and demeaning things you could do to a server) for making a mistake?

Tough shit. Life ain't easy. You give me a shitty service, I'm not going to tip. And I understand Javonn's position. You expect someone to come serve you at some point. Plus, in my position, I've tried asking someone where my server was. All I get was "She/He'll be right with you" and I have to wait anyways.

Either way, shit sucks. But life ain't a walk in the park. QQ more.

You act like I've never gone out to eat before. When a server hasn't been to my table within 5 minutes, I go to the front or to a manager and tell them my server hasn't greeted me yet. I've never had someone just stand there and say, "Oh your server will be there" maybe because I don't eat at shitty restaurants very often. They always go and grab someone to wait on us. And usually, since the first server f*cked up by not greeting my table soon enough, they lose that table and a different server, the one who didn't make the mistake, ends up waiting on me.

The bad tippers usually have no concept of how a restaurant is ran. They don't realize that a manager will almost never even allow a server to wait on a table after they've been sitting there for 30 minutes. They'll put a different server on the table, because the first one f*cked up. And that different server usually ends up being screwed because of it. But "tough shit" right, they should just get a better job right? Ask a server sometime why they're serving instead of doing something else. It will make you think twice about saying shit like that.

My parents have owned a restaurant before, I know it's tough.

That's still no excuse. You're working there for a reason. I'm not a bad tipper, I'm always sure to tip when whoever is working on my table does a good job. Sometimes shit happens, but I'm still not going to tip if the service is bad.
