my waitress friends also said we are shitty tippers…

I always tip at 18%… or maybe I am just a different type of latino…

Heck I tip at 20%. In NY.

20% here too. This is in Arizona so maybe it has something to do with being close to the border…

it’s like that old joke:
What’s the difference between Mexicans and canoes? Canoes tip.

(i’ve also heard it applied to lesbians)

WTF?? What restaurant is that from?? They may as well have added:
“Mexicans want to steal your job so don’t offer them an application with their chips and salsa.”

I totally get Mexicans now. Totally.

Errr… so what does it mean if I’m not Mexican and I do prefer a booth?

je suis mexicaine, et j’hais les “booths”, je voudrais une table svp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

I like booths!

@tumama

j’hais?

And I hope by Mexicans they mean any latin person, and I’m glad they got it right this time. Yes, my party of 2 prefers the booth, ASAP, and altough my town’s restaurants have solved the tipping problem by already including 18% gratuity on the bill, I will still stiff you even for a minor infraction such as being ugly.

I tip 15% most of the time. 10% when I get shitty service, although I should leave nothing, but everybody has one of those days, so 10% is better than nothing. I tip up to 20% if the service was really good, had a laugh, it’s a waiter/waitress I know, waitress was hot, etc. My mom has cash, if we go to a buffet she never tips. Waiters at buffets sometimes work harder because they got to do bussing all day. When I go down south to Mexico, tipping somebody at a mom’n’pop joints, taquerias, paleteria, etc is like you become their idol and treat you better than snobs working at fancy establishments.
