I find it beyond stupid that we're expected to tip the waitresses who bring you the food, and not the cooks that made the food. Especially since on average, waitresses make 5x more per week than cooks do.
Also, I read that same article and wondered what the big deal was. I've been to countries outside of the US, (Korea, China, Japan,) and in none of those did people tip. It's my understanding that tipping is pretty much an American thing. (Could be wrong).
Tipping is a ridiculous practice. Especially in restaurants.

A lot of restaurants have the tips split betwen the waiting staff and the kitchen staff.

In most countries this would be true. In America, however, wait staff are often paid incredibly little because tips are expected. It's part of their income and they actually need the tips to make enough money to do whatever it is they need to do. You see, if you don't tip it's like you're taking part of their hourly wage away from them because of some silly little protest you want to launch. Would you like it if someone came to where you work and chopped your hourly rate because they thought you made too much (and wait staff making too much? really?
)? And then there's that bit HS mentioned about tips being pooled in many, many cases. So the cooks get theirs, too. Don't be a Mr Pink, yo.Also, I read that same article and wondered what the big deal was. I've been to countries outside of the US, (Korea, China, Japan,) and in none of those did people tip.

Yeah, this makes more sense. I can't really fault him for not tipping in a country where tipping isn't a standard practice. As they say, 'when in Rome ...'. That said, when I was in Greece I still tipped. Every meal, every cab ride - we tipped for everything. The people appreciated it, too. Like a lot. Genuine appreciation - which is what we were showing them by tipping. Overall quite a nice experience. We did get into an interesting discussion with a British couple about tipping over dinner, too. They don't understand it so I explained how it works in America. They then understood but still said it was stupid because 'why don't we just pay the wait staff better?'. Well, he was right about that and I told him so. But we don't and I choose to live in the world that actually is instead of some idyllic, utopic version. Because those wait staff? Well, they live in a world that sees them needing tips to make it.
Here minimum wage is lower for waiters and waitresses, cause the gov expects people to leave a 15% tip.
Same here.
I tend to tip around 20%, though I've gone 100% once out of spite.
Who were you spiting exactly? If you were trying to spite the waiter, wouldn't you leave a 0% tip?
Or were you trying to spite yourself?

Check your facts on that:
The federal minimum wage law in regards to tip earners states that if they don't earn at least minimum wage in an hour with the $2.45-$3.15 average that tip earners make an hour, then they must be paid by the employer to make up to minimum wage for that hour.
Servers want you to think they make less, when the truth is they'll make at least minimum wage in an hour. This law exists so that servers that work off-hours like those between lunch and dinner aren't working for slave wages.
And do some research before you start living with the thought that servers aren't making boatloads of cash. The average restaurant ticket is $100 dollars, and the average expected tip is 20%. And it's rare that a waiter serves 1 table in an hour. Especially in a dinner rush.
Your average cook is pulling maybe slightly above minimum wage.
Also, go to your local restaurants and ask if they pool tips with the bussing staff or share with the kitchen staff. I would be surprised if they did. I spent a year working between two different restaurants as a cook and neither of them paid out to kitchen staff. This practice is fading out, and the pay gap between cooks and servers is increasing every year.
I get out the door for a ticket of four people for around $50-60.
"but that's still a ten dollar to twelve dollar tip!" and most likely its' a shared tip. That's how most places actually work.
Where you worked simply sucked.

You should only tip people that bring pizza to your table or house.

It was when me and my fiance were newly together, and were a bit "clingy" in public. We went to the usual late-night diner in town and ended up in a booth seat. I think I put an arm around his shoulders and cuddled a bit, like young pups in love tend to do.
Our first waitress walked up to take our drinks, stammered out something rude sounding and walked away. Five minutes later we got a new waitress. We tipped her big.
The average restaurant ticket is $100 dollars [...]
... I don' think it's possible to pay that much for a restaurant ticket around here without a large party (five+ people if you're going for something nice, like steak, otherwise closer to ten). No, seriously. The most expensive place I know of to eat at, a steak place an hour away, is still only $40 a plate...
I want to know what insane place you are eating at to spend 100 dollars for a meal. Jesus.

"Most likely" means you're guessing. Also, if the tip is shared, how much do you think the servers keep percentage wise vs what they give to the other staff?
Also, the average ticket counts expensive restaurants too. Sure it's uncommon for some people to think about that much but the average table is 4-6 people, with entrees averaging $10-$20 a plate. It's not hard for a group to get a $100 dollar ticket when you count appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks.

You do understand that minimum wage is practically slave labor, right? That it's not just teens livin' with mommy an' daddy tryin' to earn a few bucks to help pay for school and maybe the occasional night out, right?

I know plenty of servers. Enough to know they don't make boatloads of cash. It's why I know them. Cuz I see them pretty much whenever I show up where they work. Cuz they work a lot. Cuz they need the money. Cuz they don't make a lot of money.
By the way, what do you consider 'a boatload of cash' to be. A gross annual number would be cool but communicate it however you need to.

Spent $100 on a meal again this weekend. Just me an' the wife. About $130 after tip (bill was like $107). We ate at Mallorca in Cleveland. Not bad. The menu was massive and if you like seafood (I do not - thank god for a 16oz filet ;)) and wine, this is a great place to check out. But yeah, spendin' $100 is kinda easy. Er, when you're eating food anyway. Applebee's does not supply food.
Yup, very true. My bills run between $50 - $150, depending where I eat. I don't eat at Applebees or any of the other "restaurants" that serve similar slop.
Yeah when my friends ask if I want to go to Applebee's it's the same as if they ask if I want to go to Wendy's or something. Like, if I want fast food quality food, I want it at fast food prices and speed. Applebee's delivers on the quality but not the last two. ;)
Exactly. Every time people start talking about food and alcohol, I get the feeling that the only two people who weren't raised by savages are you and I. I'm telling you, we need to create a course to educate people on what quality food and alcohol is. We'd be rich! Rich I tell you!!

you are the one with no taste. I don't know what you drink but it probably has nowhere near the range of textures and tastes that can be found within beer.
Next you'll start telling me you like straight coffee, or that black liquorice tastes good.
Isn't liquorice black by definition?
yes it is but because in america we make candy that is called liquorice but isn't made from liquorice we use the term "black liquorice" to differentiate between liquorice (the actual liquorice) and liquorice (sweet candy that kids like that is shaped to be like the end product of black liquorice but also usually a bright color).
They also make cherry liquorice and strawberry here
Those are liquorice since they are not flavored with liquorice extract. They are a candy that are formed in the same shape that candy made from liquorice extract are shaped and then later given the liquorice title.
Spent $100 on a meal again this weekend. Just me an' the wife. About $130 after tip (bill was like $107).
... how does that even work out? No, seriously? $2.50 each for a drink (soda, iced tea, something), maybe $20 each for your entrées, an extra $10 for an appetizer. I guess desert, $5 a piece? That's like... $75. And way more food then me and my partner could eat or enjoy. Seriously, we would have to barely touch our main course to eat an appetizer and desert.
Maybe it's just a big city thing, having fancy restaurants? Just how expensive are your dishes there? I think I'd have to drive for an hour to find a restaurant with main dishes over $20, and that's just the one place up near the lake. Next closest is probably hour and a half if not two.

The menu for the place he went to is online. the appetizers are about $10. Main dishes range from about $20-30 for most things with a few in the mid 40s. They have a large wine selection. I don't see prices listed but they serve it in both bottles and by the glass it seems. No price listed for desserts either but probably around or just shy of the cost of appetizers i would presume. So probably easily spend $80 before accounting for wine.
1 appetizers = $10
2 main dishes = $40 to $90
2 desserts = $10 (guessing here)
total before wine = $60 to $110
wine/champagne = $5 - $70 (from what I'm seeing by skimming at their list)
Assuming 1 bottle was purchased
Grand total = $65 to $180 (pre tip&tax for 2 people)

Umm ... if you want to taste something it's often advisable to taste it on its own. Coffee is meant to be taken black. Cuz it's a bitter. So it's supposed to, you know, taste bitter. If you don't like bitter coffee you don't like coffee and should probably not drink it. Try sugared milk in a sippy cup instead. Cuz if you're adding cream and sugar to your coffee, that's basically what you're drinking anyway. ;)

Let's see:
My entree (broiled filet - 16oz) was $33.
Her's (Stuffed Twin Lobsters with Crab Meat & Mascarpone Cheese) was $45.
Our appetizer was $6 (it's not on the online menu - cured pork tenderloin. uber yummy).
That's $84 right there. With drinks (1 glass of sangria (some special kind they make there), 2 Estrella beers) and dessert (triple chocolate cake and tiramisu) $107 is pretty easy to get to. I don't recall the exact pricing on the beers and sangria and desserts. If you have to worry about how much you're spending on your dinner, you're eating in the wrong place. ;)
It's our anniversary thing. We don't buy each other stuff, we go out to eat at a nice place. It's better that way, IMO, and we probably end up spending less than most gift exchanging couples do anyway.
By the way, the place was pretty good. The online menu doesn't even come close to doing the actual menu justice. It's missing a fair bit of stuff, IIRC. And they had like a dozen (literally) specials of the day, too. And the wine list is truly massive. I'd go there again even though I don't do seafood. They have a cheese and spinach stuffed chicken breast dish I'd really like to try. And it's only $19!
There might be one near you.
Two to three hours. A bit far for dinner.
If you have to worry about how much you're spending on your dinner, you're eating in the wrong place. ;)
I think you misunderstand, it's not worry. It's that it's literally impossible for me to spend that much on a meal ticket without a road trip.
Crazy big city expensive places.
When we go out to eat, it's not really about the food (I can get better food at home). It's about going out somewhere. My options are limited to McD's, BK, Applebees, a Chinese place that's been cited for health code violations twice in the last 3 years, and redneck bars. Unless, that is, I'm willing to drive for more than an hour.

Yeah, I think it's more poor writing on my part. I wanted to add that line simply to add my opinion. It wasn't meant as a direct address even though I didn't really take any care at all to present it in such a manner that it could be taken as anything but. So, not my bad for the reason you give but totally my bad for another reason. Nyah.
It's a mini road trip for us. We're about an hour from Cleveland. So ... yeah, it's not much of a trip at all.
These guys have no concept of what it means to live in the boonies. I may have mentioned once or twice that I'm 10 miles from the nearest gas station. I can get to a McDonald's or a Burger King (but not both) in about 20 minutes. Applebees is a 40-45 minute drive. The nearest "real" restaurant is almost 2 hours away, and, frankly, their service staff has been exceptionally rude the three times I've been there. I won't be going back.

dood, I would love to live way out in the middle of nowhere. Can't do it, though. Stupid wife wantin' the kid to go to a good school system.
Why would you want to live somewhere that requires you go on a road trip to eat at a decent restaurant?
Well, it depends on the town. My current place it's pretty much "because of the job" and nothing else. The town doesn't even have the "it's nice and compact so you can walk everywhere" bit, it's so spread out.
Previous town though? It was a small town, but it had a real nice atmosphere (I blame the school) and there were nice places to eat throughout town. Not super expensive (no $100 meals for two there), but it was nice being able to walk across town, sit down and have a wonderful little pizza and a pint or two of the seasonal whatever, and then saunter back on home. The bar was just a block away, I could get down to the running track in five minutes (and it also had a set-up of bars for pull ups and such), I could walk to the school's gym fro when I wanted to lift weights... It was a nice little town.
Not for kids, mind you (in towns like that the only things for kids to do are eachother and drugs), but for a twenty-something? Yeah, it was nice. If only there was any sort of industry in town so a twenty-something without kids could stay.
See, this is why every time someone tells me that they want to move to some small town, I tell them they're insane. Why would you want to live somewhere that requires you go on a road trip to eat at a decent restaurant? I would imagine anything else would be just as far or further away.
I don't like people. I'd gladly trade in convenience for more land and less neighbors - and my current neighbors are actually good. I'm a bit different, though, cuz I like to fish and shoot and hunt. My ideal home would allow me to do all of that without the need to drive somewhere, pay someone and deal with people. The rest I don't really care about.

Comere tarantula.. ants, dragonfly... whatever it's nom nom time.

If you think that coffee is bad, you should try the coffee in the local jail...

I wish it was.
At least then it would be a little thicker and have some kind of taste...
Not that I have ever been in my local county jail...
