15% is my base, 20% for great service, less for shitty
i don't think i've ever had shitty enough service to warrant no tip
as long as they bring me the food from the kitchen without dropping it on me, that's worth at least something

I only did the no tip one time, and it was because the waitress fucked up everything humanly possible while having the bitchiest attitude the whole time. She spent more time arguing with the other staff and spilling drinks on people at our table then actually doing anything considered service.
Shit Geek, just take her in anyways. Bike knowledge be damned.
To be fair, in the Seattle area, you are going to want to have some of that "upsell" stuff. A front and back light and some sort of reflective something.
None of this will matter, mind you, when the guy late for work plows you over because you "shouldn't be on the road anyways". But at least it'll appease the insurance company afterwards.

Most places have servers share tips with the kitchen, right?
There was one time I had an excellent server, but the kitchen kept messing things up. First, what looked like a price tag sticker in the potatoes, and then getting a couple things wrong on the rest of the order. The server was extremely gracious about it and was helpful getting it fixed. So I left a very good tip with a note on the receipt that said "do not share tip with kitchen".

It takes a lot to get me or my wife to drop the tip considerably. Having both worked in the industry at some point, we go out of our way to tip really well at the places we frequent because 1) they need it and 2) it ensure good service on your repeat visits.
The one or two times I have no tipped something had to go drastically wrong. One time a waitress interrupted our conversation about Hinduism (we were both in a religious studies seminar that semester) to lecture us on how Jesus is the savior for about ten minutes until her boss pulled her away. I'm sure there were other times, but that was the only one that comes to mind.
Ahh, Bennigans. Your terrible service and crazy employees ensured your demise, though I still mourn for your tasty, deep fried ham and cheese sandwiches.

I don't mind bikes in the road, but it bothers me that when they forget that if they're in the road, they have to follow traffic rules just like everyone else.

yeah I had bad service like that once
the night ended with the waitress losing my credit card
(luckily another waitress found it after looking for it for several minutes)
The meal ended up on the house so I didn't pay anything
End on
I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

One time my family got served a deep dish pizza full of tiny glass shards. Luckily it was noticed before anyone cut up their mouths.
What happens in a professional kitchen is a strange an bizarre thing.

Yeah, I need my own hippie to counter balance the bike store hippie.
I know a lesbian massage therapist bike riding hippie, she'd probably be able to help.
Make sure she's eating granola, stinks like weed, and is wearing hemp clothing when she goes in. Just in case.
I'm sure she's got granola on hand and actually has some hemp clothing. Not into weed though.
Oh, also forgot to mention vegetarian, polyamorous, and yoga practicing.
If her name is Moonbeam, Sunshine, Rainbow, Star, or Love you're set.
The best part is that I'm not making any of this up.
She's a good friend from college, and was in my first D&D group.

If the servers at my restaurant are to be believed, then the customers really don't tip for shit. And note that our restaurant is in a very, very wealthy neighbourhood.
Then again it's a source of annoyance for me that I don't get tips despite regularly being complimented by customers for having the best salad bar in the company, but I do make above minimum wage so it's not a necessity like it is for the servers. It'd just be kinda cool, though.

She's an excellent massage therapist. Isn't afraid to really dig deep, like some are. I tend to be kinda vocal when receiving a massage, and most massage therapists I see tend to mistake it as expressions of pain. No, I'll tell you when you're hurting me. Keep going stronger.
To be fair though, I've also been told that lots of people think they want a deep massage but then are surprised when they actually get it.
Mostly I'm concerned with just needing a simple bike but ending up paying a lot more than really should have to.
well sure you can just walk out of here with the bike, but you want to be safe, don't you? gonna be riding home from work at dusk, huh? you're gonna need this safety vest, and a blinky light. 2 blinky lights, front and back actually.

My sister worked at a series of bars in various states for a good part of her life. Tips in upper-middle class areas were always the worst, regardless of where she was. For some reason, people right in the well off but not uber-rich area tip for shit. Whereas the working poor at the dives she worked at tipped quite well.
Only when you start working at some seriously old money/corporate headquarters areas places did the wealthy tip well, though even then usually not as well as the dives and truckstop bars.

I tip on takeout because while there is no server to tip, the delivery person still has to find you, deliver your order on time, hope you don't cancel on them and probably not make a whole lot of money in the process

That's delivery, not takeout. They are kind of the opposite.

Yeah, most places assume you should top on delivery.
Here's a question, though. Do you all tip on actual takeout?

I delivered Dominos for two weeks after high school and promptly said fuck that.
All the cushy suburban deliveries were taken by the jerks with more seniority than myself so I got to deliver all the pizzas to the military base and I swear I never got more that a couple bucks for every tip.
The people that told you to keep the change on a $19.50 bill and handed you a $20 were my favorite!
Pizza delivery tips have been fucked over by the excessive "delivery fee that is not a tip" that companies started adding right about the time they stopped guaranteeing my pizza in 30min or less.

I do know the people who run the takeout window at my restaurant get tips pretty regularly. Even though they kinda suck. And they do get paid minimum wage.
Why don't I get tips, whyyyyy. (I genuinely suspect some people tip their servers thinking that they'll be shared with me. When, say, a party of nine all orders nothing but salad bar (and drinks)...)

I hate that tips are an excuse to not pay people living wages
I hate that I'm expected to help pay those wages
a tip should be for above average service, not for just not fucking up
but if you don't tip you're an asshole because then that guy doesn't make any money for doing his job and if that was the case for me I wouldn't give a fuck about good service either
