When my mom worked in the service industry she said women were worse tippers than men, so ever since then she's done her best to tip well to prove not all of us are bad tippers.
Has this been true for any of you who've worked in the service industry? Is it just bullshit? Is it somewhere in between?
We don't have a tipping culture in my country thank god, but reading your post I thought, sure, maybe women don't tip as well as men and that would probably be becuase they have less money than men. I'm not going to shit on women for tipping less on account of being poorer than men because we get paid less.
Women have always tipped me more. Noticeably.
I got an $80 tip to deliver food just because the restaurant was late. Got another $75 tip because I had to make two trips. Waitressing was similar. Abysmal tippers were male.
Women were usually normal to good tippers.
She could be thinking about the few times a man tips extravagantly, because they will do that in a crowd.
But I had a guy tip me a $5 bag of pennies because he thought we were "cool" and an old man tip me a few cents in change because the mint on the coins was "special."
Don't go out to eat if you can't tip. Single women will tip, but dudes in a bro-gang will do typical scrote stuff, and I even got sexually assaulted by a dude serving once. And then all his friends lied, and the woman in the group was the only person who told my boss the truth.
I have some experience waitressing.
the women were more likely to actually tip versus many men who don't at all, but the men who did actually tip, were more likely to tip a higher amount. That amount went down the older I got.
Men will tip a lot more if you are young and it depends how you look to them. The one noticeably overweight waitress we had for many years , made much lower tips. It's unfortunately tied to how much they are attracted to you. It's kinda often tied to how much they harass the waitress and how nice she is about their being annoying
I fucking hate tipping culture. I DO tip 20% or more jsyk.
Not only do I think businesses should just figure it out themselves. But I fucking hate watching and experiencing the pandering/fake gestures/power imbalance. Maybe they'll tip you well, maybe they won't. Maybe it's because of your service, or maybe it's because they like you or didn't like you. It's all just a weird game.
I have no experience though. My guess in my area though would be men tip more ~ they like to "feel like a man" - and tip more for young or pretty women.
That would make sense with a gender pay gap
I’m not sure if this is US based but I’m middle eastern and we are very generous. I never tipped less than 20%. I even tip for coffee 🤦🏼♀️
This could be regional? I've worked in service in the South in the US. Compared to women, men were way worse. Of course there were outliers in both sexes but overall men would tip very poorly, and even want to question their bill, trying to get something for free, while women were incredibly generous.
So tipping good is NLOG shit? Lol
Hate to shit on women here, but im answering truthfully. I’m a server and I would take a table full of men vs a table full of women. I'm likely going to make more money from the men. Men are usually more laid back, order their food with no nonsense. Women more on average ask for a list of mods and then need a dozen things during dinner, or take forever to decide. Not all women.....not saying that but it happens more with us vs men. Also at a group dinner, women have been the more likely to either stiff me or give me a really low tip like $2, because they think if everyone in the group is tipping they don’t have to.
Edit- love how the question asks for experiences at my own work place and I get downvoted lol. Great job ladies. Just because we're pro woman here does not mean pro women every single time, for every single instance ever just because someone's female.
Not really. I hate to typecast people so fo course this isnt always true but sometimes I noticed pretty young girls in a group can be a bit cheap for some reason. I remembered a few groups that wanted to split the bill but make sure they didnt pay a penny over what they ordered and the tip was bare minimum or pretty bad. I dont know if its because they're young and broke or if they're actually rich brats. I found rich people in general to be the worst tippers at regular restaurants. At high end restaurant sometimes they (rich men) made people's week with $1,000 plus tips.
