I’ve worked off and on in the culinary industry for 20 years. I’ve served, cooked, bartended, worked door at all levels. Bars, pizza joints, chains, fast food, fine dining.
Here I will give you the inside knowledge of wait staff with various demographics and how they tip. 🧵

- Replying to @BigDaveMartelIndians: The Absolute Worst Nobody is worse. They’re needy, complain, let their kids run amok, want ridiculous modifications for dietary reasons or just because they’re picky. Worst of all, abject misers. They’ll leave zero tip and argue about gratuity. Nightmare.
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelMiddle class older white couple: The Best. Successful blue collar husband on a date with his wife. He orders a steak, she gets salmon. They’re patient and courteous and forgive mistakes. Expect a fat tip. Unless he pulls the “hit the bathroom and let wife pay” move.
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelClassy Black Man on a date: Second Best He’s on a date with his queen. If you have a little swag, keep her cocktails coming and make him look cool, he makes it rain. Extravagant tip. Catch him another time by himself you’ll get stiffed. CBM activates on dates only.
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelOld black ladies: Almost the worst. they rank higher than Indians because at least they’re nice. tell you how handsome you are and rave about how much they loved it. But after being incredibly needy and persnickety will leave you nothing. Worst of the old ladies who are all bad
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelGirls night out: Bad They dgaf about you. This is their pregame for somewhere else. Don’t get fooled by their flirting and charm. These bitches are going to stiff you. One round of drinks, split a few appetizers and they’re gone. Miserable tip.
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelBig City Tourists: Great Most servers hate them. I love them. They’re very talkative and love hearing about local lore. “$20 for a steak?! It’d be double that in NYC! I could get used to this!” Charm them for a fat tip. Offend them and they’ll leave 1 star with your name in it
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelEast Asians of any kind: Third Worst They can be polite and rarely cause too much of a stink. But they stay forever and treat the place like a living room. They’re like a less abrasive Indian. But they tip exactly the same. They’ll give you nothing if they can get away with it
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelEuropeans: Bad Mainland Euros, especially Slavs are hideous tippers. They all have a gripe about how American service works. Nobody cares about how in your country they pay servers a living wage. It’s so exploitative that their solution is leave a lousy tip. Cheap.
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelUncle Benny Archetype: Great Older man from the Caribbean. He comes with a date or just vibes by himself to the music He wants to talk about baseball or Carlos Santana. pregames 6 coors lites before switching to cocktails If he likes you or if you’re a hot girl expect big tip
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelUpper middle class professional couple: Mid He’s an accountant or a lawyer or something. She works in education. They don’t really want to talk to you and order expensive items but only a few. Big check and tip is exact. They’re easy. Can’t complain.
- Replying to @BigDaveMartelPost a picture of someone and based on their demographic and physiognomy I will accurately predict their order, their behavior and tipping habits.
- I’m not crazy about this guy. He’s a dork and said rotten shit about my boys. But his land project is cool and trying to knock him off for a decade old sextape is very gay. Piped his wife on cam. Big deal. That’s wholesome by today’s standards.Regarding the Daily Mail article
