On a report from a server at a local eatery downtown (hint: a spinoff of a very venerable and long-lived steakhouse), the crappy-tipping bug has bit and won't let go.
Twelve Indinanapolis Colts players joined a very famous quarterback for a night of drinks and snacks at said location on Sunday night. After keeping the restaurant open 3 hours past closing, our source informs us that he waved and smiled goodbye to the players. One player, (hint: FA, TE, 6'5", 230#) was gracious enough to pay for his teammates with his credit card. When my source locked the door behind them and looked at his slip, he lost it.
For 3 hours working over, he and his coworker made $2.13*3 + 50. Divided by two. BEFORE taxes, that's $9.40/hr. Which is all well and good for say, third-world unskilled labor, a shift manager at a fast food chain, or even a late-night hash-slinging queen at a truckstop in Winslow, Arizona. But this is a fine-dining establishment. It doesn't fit any of the above scenarios.
For an over $600 bill and party of 12, that is an insult. It is an 8% tip. EVERYONE knows you tip 15%-20%. And if you aren't a sh*theel, parties of 6 or more should be tipping 18%. If you are fitting all the criteria above, PLUS making the servers stay over when all the chairs are up in the restaurant and they stay open for you anyway, PLUS you all make more money than doctors, the bare minimum tip in this situation would have to have been $120+ range.
So the Colts have now joined the ranks of Conseco guards. F*** those cheap SOBs.
Even Pacers' players tip better than that.
