How do you like your steak?

[bookie]

I have been in the restaurant business all my life and a topic of discussion recently came up concerning customers.

Although it is not an exact science most staff members agree that customers who like their steaks rare are better spenders and more generous with gratuities.

Conversely, customers who like their steaks well done are the opposite with regards to their money.

The same theory applies to smokers. People who light up drink more. Character flaw?

I am curious how gamblers like their steak prepared? Personally, I'm a medium rare type of guy.

Medium.

....and I hate tipping! Although I usually tip 20% unless I'm at a regular place and they free pour generously or remember my drink, then more.

 

[cisco]

Medium.
I tip 15%
Don't smoke
moderate drinker

Anything more than medium rare is just a waste of good meat in my opinion.

I'd say I'm a decent tipper. I typically will tip 20% if the server was good at their job...but I am not afraid to tip 15% for average service, 10% if the service was just so-so....0% if the server was clueless. And I don't penalize the server for being busy if I can see they just have too many tables.

Oh, and yes, I smoke. Just about impossible to smoke indoors here anymore though.

medium/well :clap: always tip at least 20% unless service is horrible. :drinky: Me and the wifey have a few but do not smoke. :toast:

like the horns ripped off ass wiped flipped twice

tip is from 15% to 25% depends on service

Medium - , but not raw. It must be done so that it is red inside, but not cold. I tip if i feel that i got good service, and i don't mean any ass kissing.

Steaks = Medium well... As for tips, I give double the tax, which is 8% in most Texas cities. I have been known to walk out of a restaurant without tipping for poor service.

med. rare

Man I cant believe the bad tippers on here. You would think gamblers would be a little different. 8%????? That is ridiculous. Anything below 18% is very bad unless service was horrible. And remember if your steak isnt cooked correctly that isnt the servers fault. I go with Med-well butterflied unless its a top notch joint then med will do. ALways tip 20% or higher usually 30 but then again I used to bartend. Cryboy I would have to :hitwithro take care of you if you stiffed me. I also smoke but dont drink.

RARE!!!!kill it and slice it and throw it on my plate please!!! i agree with GM, anything over medium rare should be illegal..

 

[P FLAPS]

Medium/rare to rare. I hate fvking cigarrette smoke, and like to toss back a few beers. Always tip 18 to 22%.

 

[nhl8810]

med rare and I always tip at least 20% for good service and I like my grey goose on the rocks and yes i smoke

 

[godsfavoritedog]

Medium-rare. Tip 20-25%. No longer drink(sober 11 yrs now) or smoke. Gambling's my only vice.

 

[Blackman]

Medium rare -- good tip if I'm hot capping lol.

My girlfriend always tells me that I tip too much, but I really appreciate getting good service.

 

[Penguinfan]

Well done when I actually eat steak, but the tipping thing here surprises me also. 15% then round up to the nearest buck, come on you cheapo's.

 

[Clem D]

I like my steak medium. Drink beer and or Good vodka.

Don't smoke. Tip anywhere from 10 to 30% 40% if I get head

 

[Blackman]

40% if I get head

:142lmao:

 

[Englishman]

Has to be medium rare.

I tip 20% for good service.

Strangely enough for an Englishman, I've never smoked a cigarette (fag) in my life.
