1. All you Vegas folks...how much do those table waitresses in the casinos make who seem to get a $1 minimum for every drink they bring to someone at the gaming/poker table? Those trays ALWAYS have like 10+ drinks per round.

2. I HATE servers/waiters who give %hitty service and expect the normal 15-20% when they have the attitude like they'd rather be anywhere else.  I still usually tip ok in that instance as I used to be a server but it still pisses me off.

3. I typically tip $1-2 when I pick up carryout depending on the amount.

Well said

good post...........

people don't understand the importance of speed unless they've worked in a high volume club/bar,,,,,,,,,i bartended in the st.louis area from 2000-2005,,,,,when the 3 o'clock bars closed you had 2 options: stripclubs or the club i worked at ,,,our "rush" was from 3 am to 6 am and speed was essential--- that's what people were tipping for....my service....being able to  get a drink in a timely manner even though the bar is about 3 layers deep.........I NEVER forgot a face if you tipped me,,,NEVER,,,and damn right i'm serving someone that tipped me before the dude that just stiffed me on a round of 4 drinks............

but yea,,,,if u just hang out at "wilber's corner pub" and the only people in the bar are you and wilber,,,then you might not see the importance of tipping....................

  This is just MY sample from MY 5 years bartending, .................BUT

the answer to this question is easy,,,,,,,in the stl.......its the overweight african american girls between the ages of 21-35 

 Frank Sinatra, was a tipper to the extreme. One story concerns Frank exiting a restaurant and asking the valet parking attendant "what was the biggest tip you ever received? The answer was "one hundred dollars." Frank handed the young man two hundred dollars. As he entered his car, he turned and asked "who gave the one hundred to you? "You did, Mr. Sinatra, last year."

1 of the brothers from "home improvement" (he liked drugs) 

1 more fun fact,,,,not a hockey guy,,,,but if any of you remember the kevin stevens prostitution/crack bust,,,,,,,he had been at the bar all night before the bust................

Scottie "No Tippin" Pippen, EARNED his name many times.

I agree BWare about the group in the STL that are the worst tippers.  It's the same all the way up to Chi-town.  And then they're the ones who bitch cuz there isn't enough liquor in the drink.

Good thread!

Deion Sanders - over 20%

Ken Griffey Jr.- 20%

Greg Maddux - 20%

Justin Leonard- got hammered and left 50%

Hands down the best tip I've ever received was from Robert Kraft owner of the New England Patriots. Drinking 100 Acre Cabernet with a party of 8 left $800 on $3,000.
