Racist douche.Well, in some cases, when it comes to waitresses or waiters at very high end restaurants, they can make a pretty darn good wage based on their tips alone. So thatās an argument against raising the minimum wage for service workers.
I aināt a brokeee so I tip pretty good as do the other Trump supporters in this thread.
I would love to see a tip breakdown of race in America among white people and Black people. To see how well they represent their ancestors. Hereās one it says Black people tip less than white people on average.
I think that is it is an insult to the great Africans of history and Europeans of history when a black or white American doesnāt tip at a restaurant.
But maybe thereās other polls out there with different data. But you know what thatās a part of this conversation. And Iāve talk to restaurant workers who say man I donāt like it when black folks sit down to eat at my restaurant. OK I challenged him though because Iāve been in the service industry. Iāve done 5000 Uber rides. Iāve got great tips from Black people and then no tips from rich white people. So itās a very interesting conversation. And no one should ever feel uncomfortable in this conversation.
Within the U.S. restaurant industry, black customers are generally considered comparatively poor tippers. One recent survey of roughly 1,000 restaurant servers from across the nation found that 34 percent thought black diners were āvery badā tippers. An additional 36 percent thought black patrons were ābelow averageā tippers. In contrast, 98 percent of those surveyed believed white customers were āaverageā or āabove averageā tippers.
Our research indicates that black people tip less because they believe servers expect lower tips, and they underestimate the tip amounts that others leave. Whereas roughly 70 percent of whites identify the customary or expected restaurant tip to fall within 15-20 percent of the bill, only about 35 percent of blacks do. In addition, black respondents, on average, believe that the typical restaurant customer tips about 13.4 percent of the bill, while whites believe that the typical restaurant customer tips about 14.5 percent. Together, these differences in perceptions of āwhat is expected and typicalā explain about half of the black-white difference in tipping.
These findings are important: They suggest that black-white differences in tipping could be sizably reduced by publicly promoting social expectations regarding how much consumers should and typically do tip their servers in restaurants (typically 15-20 percent of the bill).

Do you tip restaurant waitresses if they do a good job?
