What is wrong with not tipping your waiter?

In time for another edition of sound. DC. Crazy the last thing. You sound off with -- Thomas talk show brought you by network capital funding corporation your future are financed. Good morning and welcome to Thursday. Looks like a little more drizzle and rain today cool temperatures continue and -- to continue is the word because it's going to be pretty. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Truly know sports OK now how is so you've got some owners on how hot -- -- -- all ironic about no I don't go to the people with a self interest and no other outcome what are you kidding me he said people really know again. -- -- that no one thankfully you have and I'll weighty wise money hey when you go to a restaurant you get bad service you don't tip right that's what you taught me to do one time I never tried it but this family tried. Guess what they found out. This next story may have you rethinking how much you tip one family says they were locked inside a restaurant because they're gratuity wasn't enough. Local -- is Jennifer Bauer is in west Houston tonight that story agendas is gonna get a lot of people talking. Absolutely don't -- you know they are at this restaurant here behind me that family says this service was well they didn't get everything -- paid for. -- drinks never got -- I say this staff for the big group. That's why -- the bill came they had a problem. We've paid -- BO -- what we. Hey but -- -- admit there was 17% of the bill that she didn't want to pay. -- eating a lot fishermen to restaurant and highly sixteen west he's dating and suddenly there with a customer tape controversy. My extend this service was less than stellar and when the bill came there with a 17% gratuity automatically added to that tab. That's they get they had more than five people in their party. The policy that's clearly stated at the bottom of their menu. Of policy that Marx wasn't so happy about -- she spoke to a manager. We SAK death gratuity be removed. Who we have our own -- and give our own kids and she say they do the part of the policy bury their policy. And if there was never finished she can do about it. All right. So I don't believe wonder what the people -- customers saying necessarily have to hear both sides showed yeah because aren't I right situations we had to shut tables off they were so obnoxious and so or drinking -- and you know those people are not gonna mention that there orbit during an obnoxious -- so there's two way street -- but. The burden is always on the operator on the business to make sure they have people leave unhappy it's stupid over something like that take the money out of your pocket yourself and pay raiders that is -- operable and every business don't. Usually walk around the league manager of the owner and say how's everything going type of thing is that part of there. And so does some some restaurants and others that well yeah against him anyway you know why I'm against him are you against having somebody wait on him. Now the street -- again no they're not. Course they get paid by you. -- hourly wage you know like what is an -- three dollars and get the job. My problem while they get the they get the waiting job because all of us feel bad for you because you chose a career that it's two bucks an hour or doesn't pay to now all paying for the stake as it is and there's still don't don't credit me. And when did you buy me as a male I can get that up paying 141994. You know make my -- office Xbox probably took a year older and tell -- -- -- -- remorseful and you know -- Sometimes it at the service is extremely exceptional. I'll throw a dollar maybe an extra two bucks go buy myself something nice still. But they'll come and cry to me access to give you 15% screw. Seem kind of economy 15%. Sort of 70% of these people you -- I think 25 Barnes and how much consent. When he -- are you people -- That's ridiculous I love when it was 12. Technical wanna. Senator not well that's right I argue they are 15 I am arguing her -- -- today now that much money I -- she gets a calculator Olympics which is 30% of -- who cares thirty. They don't do that -- job. Real really 30%. You still my Diet Coke twice scroll whose throw -- first of all the way even our arrival on the chains and -- What you minutes to -- -- he keeps only in units and deployments today technically you'll see what went on I don't want to take you while I'm hit I made this you know outside in a restaurant that I ran this thing. Monetary fund I have no tipping to exe I love this story we should do atop we're gonna later on in the show we -- our Diller says that America is.

And you know this guy can't see you get a -- blog of the latter people work -- a restaurant had to make a tip that this all the steady pace. Seven dollars per cent stake -- -- kid swallowed up blocker and that can't what I loom what hole. Is it -- stay in school get a better job. They got a tip a guy. A nice Cox value John good morning to you. Good morning guys I -- -- a great job it's a question common question is what they do that automatic or any legal. You know -- -- legally allowed you outlined it you know it happened I understood it wouldn't cover a waitress who you know served six some people. And real cause then they -- go to -- not -- thing. Not to comment on that column has put. On. Trips are and just. You can think they don't know what tips and they go straight prices the reverend. You know I bicycle 18951995. Billion extra couple -- we follow that you know. They'll think you're right like in Europe and -- they end your career and you get paid a professional wage and people don't tip and I bet they're nicer but the service is a lot service much better. -- I'm a little bit and service and Europe. It is all -- that it hasn't. While principal you don't deal attacking -- some people chewing gum and saying. Can I get that -- -- fighting -- beat -- this sophisticated -- our assets at Newbury Street elitist is we have drugs and whatnot he had won't -- fifty -- -- -- I don't -- aren't that good -- OK but he's got to be somebody who understands how to -- good start and you guys so we -- in -- you talked about it generalized. Stead only in new -- and get some -- copy -- I'll what I -- you liked and has. A little Michael and how to eater my going out to look like charity case there I'm supposed to I'm supposed to support your kids get you working at the restaurant 99 here. Gimme a break you're working at Friday's and I'm supposed to feel bad for you an extra 1015 don't know how the guys you -- -- -- you pepper -- -- early and it's. Expect howls I know how about just accepting -- the fact that is -- was explaining in Europe it the price is the price you pay for the deal of the drinks is. Incorporates. The tip for the that's fine okay but it's the same result the -- -- he outrageous -- tomorrow is not incorporated in the are kind of expected it to tradition accustomed a tipping. I said first of all you taking what I said out of politics I -- I garlic I will tip for exceptional service. Exceptional. Service now is that I'm an American exceptional service does not mean. You've refill my Diet Coke once and ignored me the rest of the 45 minutes I was there to give you bought me my bachelor so what and how it went out double and you people are saying 25%. Of the bill. Should be happy if I get to three. It's well actually I think -- out what Todd I've probably suffered not suffer but we you know what comes from a bias I -- buy attended the lots of members of my family about Tenet awaited waitress. And -- Todd you gonna -- involved in restaurants you know many many I did rationally. The cook is doing all the work anyway. Dishwasher. Where the dishwasher. Does a lot of work in the kitchen magical tip him for the clean forks and give Malaysia nation -- wanted to talk a lot -- a lot of restaurants -- out to the -- broke off. It seems that morning he says it's rural water jar of blighted Steve. Well so I want to get attention cook cook cooking it -- don't think. It is before you go to. The people but -- no longer embryo or other thing people ridiculous spin. People and -- -- and he's got to go out and -- and cookies yeah that's been brought in another job. People like exceptional quickness and I think that the -- for a lot that a second job he -- -- -- and -- money and give people that didn't yet but I. They didn't even Steve used to work in a restaurant in a -- yeah I I did I did. But for a little while and end how many -- Houston. Because I think I got chipped out I got tipped -- I don't -- about when we. It is pretty good way to get people are Greek god and let somebody talk like -- A couple weeks. Well if you're not gonna this there are gonna give the -- what they deserve but -- the least amount of business. -- you don't need my you don't need me to pay that bill overall you're. It's talking bones and don't go hand in hand like you can't tell me that they get spit in my food almost there now I have to go and be. And like ransom note it will get you don't give me the problem is got a gun to my had a spin and if so. This is every -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Yeah it -- wanna Jack. A lot of -- support. Ochoa and dot just marketable but yeah portrait yet at the out exit in Rochester on the boulevard. Outside yet. It's job I did everything well cooker certainly edit. It difficult job and what is it they don't make the derailment from -- -- expect much slot right. And they put it that the pit stop but what about -- Padilla is different personalities. There is that there is another and that brings out the worst in people than they're sitting at a table and you're serving them show I don't they think you're their mother. And they get lay all the time you updated on their money and by the way I understand and -- Jack usually among they haven't been -- and when this industry you had been drinking could more stuff comes out a pimple. Again and something about being waited on you know the -- suddenly become one of the pompous people like you Bill Gates all of a sudden it just. Let me just throw this in there as well I go to Iowa restaurant or. I water. My drink. In my food and that's the only time you see. Until you come back to give me the check. Really what services that you provide to -- -- water just took my daughters give it my food and she gets to go and do whatever she wants all of the restaurant has been a not even that I mean it's like you and Todd would be you -- The rest Todd is hiding -- restaurant and I I don't go to I don't -- it. -- him anymore because he's embarrassed I would agree that he is high maintenance and -- -- the -- and maintenance guy in the whole. Whine okay because well. I am but I said I don't and say oh yeah then later when I did say don't tip them at all. I just don't give that these 152025%. Tips I give them a little bit actually of the bills twenty bucks for policy. It's very generous what's what's the big deal. You don't want to actually went well you have to run on the very vast. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Morales have to pay a higher percentage for you -- on national I agree I and you go I mean I'm a 25 let's go to breakfast and the bills like you know nine dollars a summary to embarrass the -- I did double yeah if he regularly -- -- -- and nobody did though. In all 50% really -- as the maverick like in a house break out seeing a whole really takes -- a -- sometimes why that's there. It goes into it right ahead. Well I I do so much airing on upside down so you hit. So you take them the total and you double. 10% 10% that's and it gives you twenty you're already over tipping because you're also having an attack that's the which -- -- these guys now Manuel brought a couple of extra box and everybody's happen. You know I remember artsy I remember correctly. Where people running in back. Waving their tips in the air. To show our body else to do polling system architecture and they were so proud when they got a couple extra -- you know when it was 22%. And 20% or whatever. Who is a cook struck hi chuck. I'd like to speak to people about -- this albeit old but every time the price of gold goes up the waitresses waiters get a -- The 15%. Why does that have to change from 15% that worked in some very nice places around the air. But never once hostel living goes up with -- all those price increase is so it just seems like an automatic way to keep. Everything he -- is Maria. Well a 15%. Public chat but that's a hundred dollars is better than 15% projected 75 dollar yes that's why I'm saying that every time the price of food goes up. The waiters and waitresses. Do -- okay so we accept Deborah that would help us on the web data stored our way I was goes to the stoppage shopped the price a hamburger and steak and fish is all gone up. So how we say see she hasn't been as usual Russell price a gas wanna now. About chipping I was told when I get into the business these people don't believe you would tip. You have to go ahead yeah it's another situation. I was told by some very wealthy people. 10% -- or whatever electorate is 10% you get 10% on that you get it being percent on the -- -- you get nothing on the tax. Well you should hang around -- ride. Who has not. You know like they're very rich people are doing that has when they bio 300 all bottle line. They don't think they should be paying 20% tip Monica's you do the same amount of work as it goes a twenty dollar bottle one. But that doesn't mean normal people like us while -- buy and afford on a five dollar car. So would not wanna ruin a good meal with my wife or with friends so whatever. By doing what's 10% of the -- quality scribble that down 50% of the food and his you know well what a what a script to say to do on this one and then all of a sudden you don't dislike it it ridiculously. Complex. Just throw out three to five bucks and blocked out out of that that's it took 63 -- -- -- when I go when I go to get my hair elements stingy on alternate so I get my haircut I I -- extremely -- -- -- tell us tell us about your comments you Tom Mastny get the last time I got my hair cut across seventeen bogged -- to give -- point relative.
