Hypo - $40 dinner food bill + $100 bottle of wine. How much to tip?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 8th, 2025 8:57 PM Author: michael doodikoff Surely you don't tip 15-20% on the bottle of wine right? They just bring you a bottle and open it - is that worth $25? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48998035) |

Date: June 9th, 2025 2:03 PM Author: The Soo CR National Champions JUGGERNAUT No you have to tip 50% on the after tax booze and food total, haven't you heard. Servers expect to make 150k/year for carrying plates of food and if you don't want to help them get there, don't eat out! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48999905) |

Date: June 8th, 2025 9:06 PM Author: hank_scorpio if you're buying a hundred dollar bottle of wine it is a bit low class to skimp on the tip, when you're truly balling and getting crazy expensive bottles I think higher end restaurant staff understand, but at a place were you can get dinner for 40 I think they'd consider you a cheapskate (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48998069) |

Date: June 8th, 2025 9:09 PM Author: hank_scorpio I don't go out to eat hardly at all anymore, but if I do I tip reasonably well, I do not fall for the scam of tipping counter service workers however (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48998084) |

|
Date: June 9th, 2025 1:30 PM Author: michael doodikoff yes. But $100 of that is for a bottle of wine.
Surely you are not tipping $20 for them to bring you a bottle and open it right? |
|
Date: June 9th, 2025 1:31 PM Author: ;,;.;,.,;,.,;,;,.; I would tip $28.00 for regular, reasonable service, increasing the tip to $30.00 if I developed a minor rapport with the waiter. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48999794) |

Date: June 9th, 2025 2:10 PM Author: The Soo CR National Champions JUGGERNAUT Does it make any sense to tip them $20 if they bring you a $100 steak vs $3 if it's a $15 burger? They did the same amount of work. American tip culture is just absurd. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48999921) |
|
Date: June 9th, 2025 5:09 PM Author: ;,;.;,.,;,.,;,;,.; Tipping is part of the price of admission in the US. We can philosophically debate its merits or wrongs but people just need to accept it isn't really voluntary and they aren't going to successfully wage a culture war to change it. You put 20% of your bill down unless there's an extraordinary fuck up and you go about your day. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#49000350) |

Date: June 9th, 2025 5:11 PM Author: The Soo CR National Champions JUGGERNAUT With servers already making like $20/hour pretip and now no tax on tips how does this change for you? SHOULD plate carriers make as much as 1st year banking analysts? I think we should go back to 10% tip. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#49000358) |

|
Date: June 9th, 2025 1:32 PM Author: internet g0y how is bringing you a $100 bottle of wine any different than bringing you a $100 lobster plate that the kitchen prepares and the server only has to pick up and drop off with you anyway?
if anything the wine requires that whole performance show with pouring a little bit in and handing it to you to sniff and say "okay thats good"
just tip 15-20% on the total minus tax |

ur truly fighting the hypo, whatever ur take is. |

Date: June 9th, 2025 2:22 PM Author: theranchman lmao no server gives a shit about whether you can justify your tip with weird jew math. the purpose of a tip is to make it socially acceptable to return / get good treatment / not feel disgusting shame skimping some 20-something when you walk out. your napkin algebra has no import to anyone but yourself (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48999970) |
|
Date: June 9th, 2025 2:25 PM Author: internet g0y How am i fighting the hypo? He is saying tipping on wine isn't justified due to the differences in labor involved. I point out that its the same labor involved in food that the server brings. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48999981) |
|
Date: June 9th, 2025 2:32 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., you're fighting the hypo by comparing an expensive entree to a similarly expensive wine. the intent of the hypo seems to be to present a scenario where the wine is grossly disproportionate to the cost of the food.
imagine if you have some michelin restaurant with a $600 food bill ($300 tasting menu x 2 or whatever and you've already got the most expensive possible food), and you get a $3000 bottle of wine.
this case shows how retarded it is for you to attempt to fight the hypo.
if your answer in that case is still to tip 20%, fine. but dont fight the hypo. |
|
Date: June 9th, 2025 2:37 PM Author: internet g0y thats not the "intent" of the hypo
the intent of the hypo is to ask why he has to tip for something that is so easy to do (bring wine which the restaurant already gets bottled) as opposed something he perceives as harder to do (bring food which the restuarant has to make) hence the objection that it doesn't fucking matter bc the server does the same amt of work
your explanation also makes zero sense becuase there is nothing about drinks that warrants tipping less except for the fact that the restaurant doesn't have to prepare it like they do food
|
|
Date: June 9th, 2025 2:47 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., the intent of the hypo is obviously to address a disproportionately high wine bill relatively to the food cost, my man.
and this is a perfectly reasonable hypo to ask, especially in fancy restaurants where someone may have a 5 figure wine bill and the sky's the limit in terms of the wine bill and there's only so much you can possibly spend on food. |

Date: June 9th, 2025 1:57 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad Double normal 20% tip up to a $15 max on the wine. After $75 bill it's a flat $15 per bottle. That's more than fair imo. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48999896) |
