Blacks I’ve worked with. Even educated blacks never wanted to tip when a group of us from work went out to lunch. Don’t know what that is about.
Not criticizing....just stating a fact from personal experience. It could be just my experience and not a common fact.
“Blacks I’ve worked with. Even educated blacks never wanted to tip when a group of us from work went out to lunch.”
My niece worked at a high end restaurant in DC while in college. Dinners started at $100 a plate and the average booth stay was 2-3 hours-you savored the meal there and it was place to smooze clients and be seen.
She told me blacks never tipped. First time I had ever heard of that.
She was making $75-80k there as a waitress. Actually made less at her first job after college
No tip is the signature of arch liberal/socialist mentality.
It is very common for them not to tip. I’ve been told by a few that it’s a cultural thing, and they’ve been taught not to tip because it’s a payback of sorts for all the slavery years.
I used to have a coworker (himself black) who worked a side gig as a waiter. He said the same thing.
A chain restaurant known for good prices and generous portions opened a location here just a mile or so outside a predominantly black neighborhood on the edge of Memphis.
It quickly became very popular because it was a much nicer place than anything in that neighborhood, in a nicer area, and the folks living in that neighborhood came in droves. We didn’t even try to get in for three months, it was so crowded.
Just a little while after we visited, a sign appeared on the door - “A 15% gratuity will be automatically added to every check.” It was easy to get in after that. (Now closed)
