What about Asian servers? 15%?
You obviously don't know much about AA. The Asians are hurt the worst so they would get the biggest adjustment. But circumstances vary.

Tipping is rewarding poor service, poor employers who do not want to pay their employees and just plain stupid.

This is lame. We get a story about "something bad written on a receipt" every week now and I can't remember the last time it was actually true.

This time. Discerning people, the kind of people that should sit on juries, can tell hoaxes from reality.


Ada still in hiding.

So, generally, do you tip Asians more than whites?

Well, the truth is, I don't leave tips in hotel rooms when the housekeepers are obviously illegal. I also refuse to give money to homeless people who are illegal, though I sometimes do give money to homeless Americans.

My father took the citizenship test after LEGALLY coming to the US. I know the amount of limited English needed to pass that test. If someone can't speak a word of English they are obviously illegal.

If this waitress speaks English, I wouldn't assume she's illegal, though some people who are not obviously illegal can still be illegal. But if someone already comes across as illegal, then they are definitely illegal.

Right, and whoever wrote that is a dick.
So how else are you supposed to pronounce gyro? I'm sure in Greece they say it different, but then they pronounce lo mein and sushi differently in China and Japan.
