@@Mikey-ym6ok Only an American custom? No, no, this is a custom everywhere! I used to get tipped back when I was working as a bartender in Austria, it would double my daily earnings! I am now in Serbia, and just today I tipped two fellas who were already paid to pick up some scrap metal from my back yard. I tip my hairdresser too. Whenever I am happy with the service. Not sure about Middle and Far East countries, but Europe yes.
I have a friend who actually uses Dick's tipping method. He just doesn't put a pile of ones on the table but does all adjustments in his mind. He's pretty ruthless too.
***** I've left 40% before when the check was under 10 dollars. I was about to leave a penny once for the worst service I've ever had in my whole life, but my Mom talking me out of it. LOL
***** We ordered something small. She wanted us to get done at her table so someone wanting to order more could sit. She made it very obvious. Mom was just a kinder person than I.
I tipped a waitress in Poland €10 or something, she looked so angry and grabbed it from my hand without so much as a thanks. I walked back in the restaurant and got the money back from her!! 😆 Strange people over there.
I remember the first time I say the tipping scene with the stack of bills. I was laughing so hard, for a sitcom with that annoying laugh track, this show always knew how to nail the punch line.
@@blackefeltsch7459 To have recorded laughter covering for the live audience is the exception, not the rule.

Your comment is annoying, but there'll be people who don't feel that way.
All sitcoms of that period had an audience laughing. All of them. You're either a snobby brat that didn't live through the 90s or a very unpleasant 90s Karen.
My grandfather in his retirement leaves 20 dollar tips regardless of service, I love the reaction some people will have at such a big amount, especially since his meal was always under 20 dollars.
@@Zodroo_Tint Or he spends next to nothing on his meals and can give a bigger tip, show it to everyone, making other people and workers feeling that they have to give/receive the same whether the person providing the service did a standard/good job or dropped your plate on the ground. The world pretty much stays the same.
This is a very interesting concept, especially considering Dick laid out his ground rules ahead of time. I used to deliver pizzas and 1 reason why people SAID they did not tip was that the "delivery charge" was my tip. 2 problems with that: I didn't get to keep all of the delivery charge, and I always told friends the delivery charge paid for the use of my car. After all, the waitress at your favorite restaurant only has to walk to your table, whereas I had to drive to your address and walk up your (often) unpaved driveway/sidewalk. And I treated tips like presents: nice to receive but should not be an obligation. BUT...by the same token, if I do more than bring your pizza to your door, say, bring extra cheese and/or pepper, or in the case of 1 customer: TOTALLY ignore company rules at your insistence and bring your pizza inside and place it on your dining room table for your inspection...that should be worth something.
During the shutdown I needed to get out for some air, so I did deliveries. One guy asked me to bring his food to place them on his dining table. Sure. He opened his door inward, I only saw his face but when I walked out, he was naked with a hard-on. Very hot young guy! He was pointing down to his ankle saying he had to put that on at all time, court order, and not to walk outside without approvals. I was like “why did the court make him wear his cockring all the time for?” Haha… He said there was plenty of food if I wanted to join him for dinner. I said I had another order in the car I had to deliver by 2.15am so I couldn’t stay. Boy I wish I had prepared myself for situations like that… so I wouldn’t have to spend years kicking my own behind lol
1:38 no what's fair is that companies pay a live able wage to their employees, and not have them gouge the customer for more money. "But then the wage increase is passed on to the customer in inflated prices." No, that's when the free market comes into play, as the customer has the ability to choose a company that is capable of managing their finances better. It is a business, not a charity fulfilling some philanthropic duty that it needs aid with...

Unfortunately, it turns out that the company with the higher menu prices gets less custom. I agree that it's a practice that needs to vanish as currently implemented though.
As crazy as this is, is actually pretty smart, people would work a lot harder if they saw their tip growing, and also work harder if they saw it getting smaller.
Which season and episode is this scene from? I own the DVD collection, but can't find it anywhere. I saw the episode when it first came out and thought it was hilarious! Someone please help me!!!!
I was a server and bartender for 15 years. Service workers are not even paid minimum wage. At one restaurant I made $2.50 AN HOUR. When I bartended at a nicer popular place I was paid $5 an hour. The taxes are nuts and a typical biweekly check was usually $0 dollars I kid you not. Servers rely on tips. I do think however, for some reason in California servers are paid a higher wage. But don't quote me on that. So no, there is definitely not a salary and some mom and pop shops don't pay a wage at all. And FYI this reply isn't meant to sound rude to you at all. Just wanted to let ya know! 😊
oh.. I didnt know that you dent get paid ! I live in sweden and I do tip sometimes , depending on the situation and the place .. but here they get salary... maybe I need to be more thoughtful about it :)
in America, service workers MUST make minimum wage under federal law, 7.25 unless raised by the state government. tips essentially allow the employer to subsidize the wage, and the wage can continue to go above minimum wage if tips get that high. few people know this. and it's one of the reasons money lost in wage theft higher than nearly any other form of theft in our country.
Niklas323 Actually, if you get more than $30 in tips per month, the federal minimum wage for service staff is $2.13. Yeah, the loophole and tipping are a scam against both the servers and the customer. Servers have no wage security and the costumer ends up pay much more than if they the increase in costs for a living wage.
I'm actually a huge fan of this system. This is absolutely how tipping should work. It's a reward for exceptional service. Dick is not the bad guy here. Also, automatic tips and communal tips are big-time red flags. I tend to avoid these places because the service tends to suck.
This is the mindset of some terrible people, people who unable to respect others, people who act like they are better. You know, people who lick upward and kick downward.
My mom was a waitress for many years... She said that she could never even dream of trying to do what this poor waitress has to think of with Dick's method of tipping. I also learned how to tip properly form this show. XD... :P
As funny as this classic scene from 3rd Rock from the Sun is, this is actually an incredibly mean thing to do. I think the point of that scene is that we SHOULDN'T be like Dick Soloman, and that only a cold, unfeeling alien would be enough of a monster to actually do this.
Correct! You should wait until the end to asses the quality of service nd then tip but ONLY if it the service was satisfactory! The American style of tipping is as alien (pun fully intended) to most of us outisiders as it is to Dick!
@@Konrad_Wallenrod people are very mean to new waitresses. Very mean even when a new waiter is doing their very best but has been given too many tables at one time. RUNS RAGGED,SWEATS, THE GOES HOME BROKE. THEN HAS TO ARGUE WITH BOSS NOT TI BE FORCED TI SAY, MAKING THE AVERAGE THEN HAS TO PAY TAXES ....!!!
Tipping was made back when that’s really all waiters made now it’s implied even though everyone gets a steady check. Of course I tip I don’t want my drink having a funny taste
@Logan you're an idiot. Go look for another job rather than rely on people to give you free money for doing something you're already getting paid to do.
Cheers did this gag so much better. I'm guessing that back when this aired, people were used to seeing themselves as the guests. 2 decades later, we recognize ourselves as the waiter and realize that what Dick (an appropriate name) was doing was toying with someone's financial stability who couldn't fight back. It's bullying someone.
One of my all time favorite episodes. Over 20 years later and my wife and I still joke about this whenever we get poor service dining out.
Aaw that's cute!
Same except my wife gives me a hard eye roll!!
How sad that you even remember.

Every time they said something and the audio was out of sync I took away a like from the pile I have.
And that's why your account always has that funny look

There is no logic to tipping. That’s only an American custom. In Germany tipping a waitress would be offensive. Basically calling her a hooker.

Horribly.
3 years later...it's still desynced...and it's still troubling

yes it is , but cheap people like you pretend that there is not.
I even tip the Uber guy , do you know how much money they get? not much ,a lil bit of consideration doesn't hurt.
