a bunch of shitty tips

Good job.

Never was in the service industry, but my wife was.  She used to tell horror stories!  Will you also post particularly good tips/customers also?  If you had 10 customers, how many would be “bad tippers”?

ANSWER:

If I had 10 customers maybe one would be a bad tip, people seem to be confused. I am not complaining about my job, quite the opposite. I love my job. I just wanted a place to vent and post the worst of the worst, and hopefully achieve some change in the large companies that don’t put up for tips.

Anonymous asked: I have a feeling that you won't even post this but here goes... You live in a country where you have the choice to get a job that pays more than the minimum wage. You have chosen to work a full time job that doesn't pay you what you feel is sufficient so you work this job on the side and then complain on the internet about how people aren't giving you more money. Don't you think your time would be better spent trying to find a career, or improve your skills so you can get a career where you are satisfied with your earnings rather using this time to bitch on the internet? You live in the US and have every opportunity to make your life what you want it to be. This tumblr is just a place for a bunch of losers to get together and whine about how other people aren't paying their wages because the shitty restaurant they work at doesn't feel like implementing a fair pay system. This is pathetic to say the least and you should be ashamed of yourself.

If you didn’t know this blog only had 5 post before the original article, and hadn’t been updated for weeks. It still only has 7, and only one has been submitted by me. That’s because not all tips are shitty, most of them are pretty decent actually. This blog was made to shame only the worst.

Mr. P

Then don’t order out.

Anonymous asked: Re: Privacy, You still can reveal names, right?
Just not addresses.

Correct, Tumblr said nothing about names of persons. In the future I plan to stick to a street name, and first name basis however. Streets are long, and names are common.

Anonymous asked: Do delivery staff look down on customers who pick up their order instead of having it delivered?

No, especially at the end of the night when I want to go home.

I thought 20% was standard and 15% was considered a crappy tip?

finally!!

someone who represents people who make a living from tips.. i”m a bartender so i have a bit of an advantage.. you give me a shitty tip the first time around.. second time around your vodka cranberry turns into cranberry juice for 10$.. i can imagine what i’d do if i was the delivery guy.. first time around you get bacon cheeseburger & fries..no tip! second time around it’s gonna be bacon cheeseburger extra mayo! get the picture! 

RE: Disclosing Privacy

I have received a nice letter from the folks at Tumblr.

They asked that I remove the addresses of individuals, as it is in violation of Tumblr’s content policy, and we have concerns for peoples safety after the over night press this site has received. I have complied to their wishes and removed addresses from my postings, as I want to keep this site running on Tumblr.

I am still going to be operating the site, and will still gladly shame companies and institutions by name.

This site had 5 posts and hadn’t been updated for weeks until the original gothamist article was written yesterday, a little over 24 hours ago. Now there are 450+ followers.

Thanks for your continued complaints and support. I’m just grateful I haven’t gotten threatening phone calls or emails yet.

Worst,

To the wonderful delivery boys of Mike’s Diner.

This is a shout out to the very nice guys at Mike’s Diner in Astoria NY. I work all night and I call them all sort of times. They are always polite and very nice. And by now they know to be quiet so as not to wake up the baby.

I tip them $5.00 for $20 (coffee bagel and soda), and $10 for $40 (lunch or dinner).

Keep up the good work!!!

Anonymous asked: I tip less if there's a delivery charge added to the tab? Who gets that money?

I have never worked a place that charges for delivery, but have worked places that charge more for out of zone deliveries. I got the extra money.

Anonymous asked: If delivery people get paid a salary why do they think they deserve extra for just doing what's in their job description? Not trying to be rude, just a legitimately sincere question.

We get paid under minimum wage, and are expected to make the rest in tips.

Anonymous asked: I worked in the service industry when I was a teenager, as a busboy. I slaved. I never got a tip. Why should waiters, bartenders or delivery people get tipped when the busboys are doing the donkey work back there for min. wage ONLY? Whiner. F you.

In my experience, waiters share tips with kitchen staff and busboys.

vaughnwhiskey asked: 1st of all, i don't anon.
2nd of all, I never tip my waiter or delivery guy and i use to do both as a weekly job.
why you may ask....
because they get paid buy the hour, fuck...my driver always forgets my diet coke or half of my order anyways.
now it might be different where you live and what not.....
but from my stand point, you don't tip your dentist or bagger at the grocery stores

Thank you for not being Anon, I have instant respect for that. At Urban Rustic I get $50 for a 9 hour day (we call it a shift pay), and the rest comes from tips. No hourly wage at all. I also don’t bag the orders so mistakes are rarely my fault.

charliemielczarek asked: I never realized people didn't tip delivery people the same as they would a server at a restaurant....they both bring you food, but with the delivery person you get the comfort of not even having to put pants on...if anything, I tip them even more just for that.

You are an amazing person.
