"Excuse me, it says the chicken comes with mashed potatoes and carrots. I don't like carrots. Could I get something else instead?"
"Of course. What would you like?" "I'd like a pork chop instead." "Well, we can give you a pork chop, but it will cost extra." "You know what, never mind, I'll just take the carrots." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Reality. If you get jumped while in the city what are the most likely race of the perpetrators? If I said, "her name is Sharmisha!" What color is she? And if you were working at a restaurant and had a party of ten and they were black, what are your odds of getting a tip even if you gave ultimate service? I have noticed a new stereotype amongst blacks where they think they're owed, or entitled to everything. Like they can treat you like shit but you better kiss they ass. Stereotypes exist for a reason. I'd love to see the stats of the perp's race for all of the car jackings/thefts in Minneapolis over the last year. |

They create their own reality. It's one of those fascinating aspects of human nature. I've seen it with stereotypical white trash in a nice restaurant, I've seen it with militant feminists types ("that's not "bossy," she's just displaying leadership skills people expect and embrace from men." No, a man who acted like that would have been pit in his place years ago, possibly physically), and anyone who has served the groups this thread is about knows exactly the groups this thread is about.

I've never worked in the food service industry but I've known plenty of people that have. They all same the same thing, that Blacks and Canadians are the worst patrons and the worst tippers. If they tip at all.
Now I did work in retail and I can definitely say that the two groups mentioned above were the worst customers. The retards who believe that Canadians are polite have not been out in the world much. They are as rude AF and will trash a store leaving it looking like a F5 tornado came through. |

All they would have to do is tip like everyone else and there wouldn’t be any code words. I am sure the wait staff would have the same feelings if someone sat a bunch of Germans in their section as well.

Nothing new.
hell, when I first started with the railroad, a few whites told me they couldn't believe they hired me over Canadians, since they had only hired Canadians for years with no new white hires in that particular division. I could see it was true, since 80-90 percent of the workers were black. Most were good to work with, but a few tried to throw me under the bus for no reason. Didn't work since I was a good worker / employee. I left due to the stupid games between management and the workers, wanting me to break the rules to get stuff done quickly, but would write you up if they saw you breaking the rules. |

I was in a Outback in Florida when a large group of black people came in but they did not wanted to be seated together.
Long story short the hostess got involved and forced them to all sit together and put a 18% tip on the bill because the wait staff who were both black and Spanish said if you don’t charge the 18% they will stiff us on the tip. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not at all uncommon. I worked at a restaurant back in the day and we had words for foreigners, Karens, the Saudi immigrant students, etc. They weren't derogatory but these situations manifested after COUNTLESS similar encounters. They didn't just randomly create themselves. They were earned. I mean, it's part of being a waiter. The movie "Waiting" wasn't far off but we never spit in food (or any of what they did). But the games, code words, having fun with inside jokes...all part of it. One of my college jobs was delivering Chinese food. There are definitely patterns, but since it's not done in front of friends we can filter out people who tip just to look good in front of their peers. The only time I got threatened with being robbed... it was at an apartment complex. I dared them... they folded. Lol. It was a gang of "urban youths", Jr high school age range. The only demographic with a 0% tip rate is nurses when delivering to hospitals. Carry 30lbs of food 1/4 mile... fuck your tip, bitches be counting out exact change. Best tips, old white guys who look like they spent time in prison. Tattoos/beards/ratty cloths. 100% tip rate, and good tips at that. Older black men in houses tip almost as well, only one time I didn't get a tip, but their tips are in the normal dollar range. Worst tips, rich (or young and beautiful) white women (almost as bad as nurses, as in I've gotten a handful of tips vs zero). I got more/better tips from poor black women in ghetto apartments than rich/young/beautiful white women. Most selfish/entitled demographic, ever, is a young and beautiful white woman in a nice house/gated community/high class condominium. I blame society for worshipping the ground they walk on. Rich white men are also shitty tippers, as in almost never, yet the same demographic will fight each other in a restaurant over who gets to give tip (so they look good in front of each other).  Ghetto apartments tip maybe 20% of the time, but their tips mean a lot more to me since they are poor. Better apartments tip maybe 30% of the time. Low to middle class houses tip about 50% of the time, pretty consistent. Upper class houses, almost never. The bigger the house the less chance of a tip. If they look like they make over $250,000/year? No tip, ever. Those are just my anecdotal observations from about 1 year of working as a delivery driver in a suburb of a major city. |
