We watched a group of 8 people at the bar of Cane Garden the other night leave NO tip to the bartender after ordering a series of drinks, then changing their minds, then ordering again. We commented to him about the snub. He said you haven't seen anything yet. As for the fools who write notes to their servers, there day is coming. Karma is on the way....

There is a movement going on at drive-thrus of some fast food restaurants where you place your order at one window and drive to the next to pay. People are paying for the car behind them who just placed their order. it's been on the news. They dubbed it "paying it backward."
Just thought I'd inject a little positive news that points out the difference between these people and the mean-spirited customers at OG. But I'll still get out the squirt gun, Gracie. |

I bet the gal writes notes on her check too.
Lady to hand out letters instead of candy to fat trick or treaters |

Servers, waitress or whatever the politically correct term these days...these people work very hard at their jobs, for less then min. wage pay and rely on their tips to subsidize their incomes. I put myself through college years ago waiting tables. At the time a 15% tip was great and 20% fantastic. Leaving notes on your guest tab is simply rude. I think the note leavers ought to try a few shifts out on the floor. Maybe their attitudes would be different. It's a hard job with tons of opening and closing sidework on top of waiting your tables. I have total respect for those who wait tables...it ain't easy folks.

To the poster regarding non-caffeine, non-sugar drinks....sorry, I forgot who it was...the best solution is club soda. Put a twist of lime or lemon, and it's just like having a cocktail (well...sorta), refershing, bubbly, and has some taste. Depending on your sugar tolerance, you can even ask for a splash of juice, just a teaspoon, or so. That will really perk it up.
I gave up caffeine and artificial sweetners a while back, and club soda, and seltzer, have saved me from my Diet Coke withdrawals...lol. |

Restaurant waitstaff need tips just to make minimum wage. Your restaurant bill is lower because your server is paid less than what anyone should be paid to make even a minimal living. Anyone who feels they cannot "afford" to add 18% to their restaurant bill should stay home and doing the cooking, serving and clean-up themselves.
I always tip at least 20%, never less than $5, no matter how small the bill. Can you imagine deciding when checking out at a grocery store that even though your bill is $100 you are only going to pay $82? That is exactly what you re doing if you decide to not leave a tip. Finally, i would like to offer my gratitude to all the wonderful waitstaff at the restaurants around The Villages. I am always amazed at how you can do your jobs with such a great attitude, smiles and pleasantries knowing that your customer may not reciprocate since leaving a tip continues to be an option and not a requirement. |

Please. NOT only tip well but THANK your servers. I have YET to get a subpar person bringing me food jere in this place. My very favorite as a group are the ones at Bob Evans. Most of them are well, quite grown up and certainly old enough to live here.
We live close to Bob Evans and it is a favorite place to grab a bite on a busy day. They are always welcoming and very pleasant. The food is simple and tastes like home. They employ a LOT of seniors there.

I have read all these comments and the entire issue is mind-boggling. First of all, let me say that in America it is the custom to "tip" but what one tips is entirely "PERSONAL". Not everyone agrees that 15, 18 or 20% or more is the accepted norm. Not everyone belives like you or I and that ranges from our beliefs in politics, religion, sex and "tipping". Is some one who only gets sex XX times a month/year short changed??? Or was that only X times! Now that would be a topic of discussion!!
Comments such as I tip 20% but a minimun of $5...So what,..I heard someone say I tip 30% and a minimum of $10??? Is this for real or BS, or are you trying to make someone feel bad or are you boasting your ego?? A person tips what they can afford or believes is right, and to critize someone for doing otherwise I think is wrong. The system we have grown up in is the real fault but I cant say its wrong..its what we know. Service workers work hard and should be paid an acceptable wage. We are comming into the season where this issue will or I should say "may" apply to others. There is no right or wrong answer...just follow your instincts and do what YOU think is right. |
