Do Food Choices Affect How We Tip?

Ever notice how people love to debate which tables tip better? As someone who’s worked in restaurants, I’ve served every kind of table—families, couples, big groups, solo diners. Here’s my hot take: It’s not about race, it’s about how you treat people. I’ve had tables of every background leave generous tips, and I’ve had every kind of table stiff me. The real game-changer? Respect. When you treat guests like they matter, most folks respond in kind. Food brings us together, but kindness keeps the vibe good. So next time you’re out, remember: the best flavor is mutual respect. And if you’re worried about tips, focus on the service, not the stereotypes. That’s my spicy little truth for today. #FoodCulture #RestaurantLife #TippingEtiquette #RespectMatters #GlobalDining #Food #Foodie
