There are also definitely certain "tipping stereotypes" about different groups of people. I've always hated church groups - Christians are AWFUL tippers as a group. Plus, they always do this thing where they reserve a room or a table for 40, have 15 show up and 10 of them order water and don't tip. Then the two servers who were assigned to the supposed 40 top are screwed. Happens frequently. There are other groups too, but we won't get into that.
very true. i hate when i get put on a party with 2-3 other servers of 40+people and about half show up. I can handle a 35 top myself!

i work every sunday morning and i always get 15% or less from the Christian tables no matter what (not trying to offend anyone, I am a Christian myself). I joke with my very religious father that maybe Christians should follow what the Bible says and "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". He replies that maybe Christians tip so low b/c they give 10% of their income to the offering, so they figure a 10% tip is fine lol.

Could it be God finds a 10% tip acceptable? OTHERWISE, those Christians must really think they got "crappy" service from him..what with all those wars, and liberals running around..........
