Hell, I'm only ordering a Kahlua and creme...That's not hard to make.
No, but you get better treatment from the barstaff. It only pays off if you go often because they will remember you and serve you before other people. If you order the same stuff they will make it for you before you even place an order.

If the server is good...absolutely. They make nothing in minimum wage and rely on tips.

I have a question, and a straight answer is required. If a straight answer cannot be provided, it would be better not to answer. What did you hope to accomplish by making fun of that person?
I come from West Texas and live in Texas and I find it funny......And I have a real bad southern accent...

It looks to me like a lot of people care about black tipping.

Just look how long this thread is.

Well...it went off on tangents about tipping in general.

Meh...maybe they think by talking about it, it'll have the effect of making blacks tip more.

But it's having the opposite effect on me. I'm now realizing that I'm overtipping according to my race. I may as well start cutting back...maybe even stiffing servers altogether.

And why not? Seeing as how they're trashing black folks anyway.
