Now in NYC b/c of people who don't tip, most restaurants add the gratuity directly on the bill. Usually that adds up to over $20 especially if we had drinks. Now if the service was extremely poor I will request that they remove the charge and tip what I deem appropriate...none the less I always tip.
Unfortunatley I usually get stuck with the entire tip. Just to avoid the bull-losh b/c some of my girlfriends are really cheap and petty. One has actually whipped out a calculator at the dinner table to count her share of the bill and tip! Can you say ghetto
To avoid this I usually pay the whole tip or ask for a seperate check all together. I shouldn't have to do this, but it avoids lots of arguments and when the check comes I pay mine, tip the waiter/waitress directly and bounce!!!! I prefer to watch these fools make a$$es of themselves from afar!!!
Now when I am on a date, if a man doesn't tip.. that is definately the last date for us. I recall one night this guy and I went for a late meal after catching the last movie. So it's about 2 a.m. We ate at a diner so the bill was only $22. Would you believe he had the nerve to ask me for $2 and still didn't tip the waiter. He was just plain cheap... he owned his own business was driving a GS400 and could tip!!!! That was the last date for us.
Was I too harsh? Brothas & Sistahs please let me know....what would you do?
