Being in my 40s, I thought my head banging, shot guzzling days were over; however, I thought I’d give it a “one” more try to douse my fears of going deaf when listening to a heavy metal band. And I will tell …I’m glad I went to see the Metallica tribute band Battery. Right from [...]

Review: Jim’s Steakout 4000 Seneca Street, WS, NY 14224
im’s Steakout 4000 Seneca Street, West Seneca, NY 14224
First, I want to be fair and of course very honest. The food (steak sub) was very good and the service was excellent; however, the restaurant was dirty. There was food on the floor, counters were not wiped down and (no kidding) there was embedded food on [...]

Should Cooks Be Tipped?
Ok, this discussion has really turned heated between my friend and I on several occasions. He (being a cook) thinks that cooks should be tipped like the waitress or bartenders and I think not! Why? I’m glad you asked because I mean no disrespect to cooks worldwide and please do not spit in my food. LOL.
Most cooks (if not all) make above the minimum wage and the wait staff almost always makes well below the federal minimum wage provisions of $5.85 per hour. In addition, many do not share the same benefits (medical, time off etc.) as cooks and all this should be considered. In addition, if the food is not right the wait staff usually gets blamed for that huge mistake. LOL.
Now, below we have added what we think is an appropriate tip for each food service title. We love to hear your thoughts about this heated discussion. Try to be nice. LOL.
- Barista
- No tip required, though many suggest throwing coins into the tip jar.
- Bartender
- $1/drink (or 15% of total bill). Pre-tip for better service.
- Delivery person (including pizza)
- 10%, $2 minimum
- Maitre d’
- $5-$25 for special efforts
- Takeout
- No tip required unless something special is done
- Waiter
- 15% for adequate service, 20% for exceptional service. For poor service, leave 10% or less. It’s okay to leave nothing for exceptionally poor service, but only if you’re sure it’s the waiter’s fault.
