How Much Do You Tip?

I love nachos! I can eat them everyday of my life🤣

Not me trying to rewatch episodes to cheer me up about one of my horses dying today and the whole first ten min is on beating a dead horse 😭

a gay black woman is crazy frank 😂😂

the olive theory <3

One time my husband and I took his fam out to a steakhouse the bill was about 1.4K, because we had six people, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill…my husband didn’t realize (thanks to all the old fashions he drank) and left a $400 tip, so basically we tipped almost $700 🤦🏻‍♀️

As a Penn State alum I know exactly which restaurant the nachos are from and I'm actually dying

as a Penn State alumni, I cannot figure out what atrocity in town would serve nachos, burgers, and pasta all on the same menu... that should've been your first sign

figuring out that Ant watched JJK is like… mind blowing now i need to know his favorites

Attack on Titan is the best anime hands down. I will take no comments

Omg please don't use AI Overview to fact check stuff 😭 that is insanely unreliable

Not me living in Santa Claus Indiana watching this 😦

I, a straight woman, named my imaginary dick (at like 13 btw) “Russell the one eyed wonder muscle”. 😂

Me and my buddy call each other by our gamer tags. He’s Trip(TripleThunder) and he call me B0ZZ(B1GB0ZZ512)😂😂

I do like Ant being there now, sorry buddy 🤍

Joey - it is Santa Claus 🎅

As a server, just by the title worried me

tbf to frank, there is a carbone's pizzeria in minnesota

I am so not a fan of the wages American servers get paid so do not take this wrong. I think tipping culture sucks, but I will never not tip poorly. However, most restaurants if they have bartenders and bus boys require the servers to tip a percentage of their sales to the bartenders and bus boys. So, even though it is a bottle of wine that doesn't feel necessary to tip on, not tipping accordingly can cause that server to have to pay out of pocket at the end of night.

Does Frank’s head look extra huge in this episode?? There were times I️ thought it looked like a bobble head

We need a camera on Ant too 😂

So the thing is, that server more likely than not has to tip the bar tender food runners etc on their total sales. So if they don’t get shorted on a tip they still have to give a portion of their tips away so if you don’t tip on that expensive bottle of wine the server for lack of a better way of explaining it “pays” to wait on you.

I always go in expecting to tip but at the end of the day a tip is earned, thats why its called gratuity.

We need a Frankie fit check in some of these episodes

If someone can afford a 5k bottle of alcohol you can afford to tip the 20% all I'm sayin

10k is 10k... i wouldn't complain about not getting 20% if im making less than minimum wage and most people give someone $7 and call it quits

When Ant said "cursed" i said OUT LOUD, "it better not be a JJK shirt"...

I got so hyped over ant shirt!!! Also attack on the titans IS A REALLY GOOD ONE!!

dont order what you cant afford to tip on. that simple.

The problem with tipping is that, yea you tipped 10Gs on your bill but if it’s not 20%, most restaurants require servers to tip out other staff based on that 20%, regardless of if that was actually tipped or not. So yes 10Gs is a lot but ultimately that server has to tip out as if they had made the 15gs or whatever 20% would have been

Start with Naruto

It is Santa Claus, IN. I went to Holiday World with my family every summer for like 15 years 😅🎢

As a woman who works in Hospitality, I have to say, when Joe started talking about the fact that he needs to consider the fact that he was in the restaurant for 4 hours and how many tables he's taking away from the establishment for that service, was one of the hottest things ever. Also, I am in Australia and we have service charges on bills, hence making tipping completely optional.

I have so many contacts under nicknames Peniswrinkle Teenie weenie Moira the slut puppy Amber turd Sister 1 kinky wanker Gordito Sexy leg Whorebag The list is endless. It's fun to see people's faces when their messages pop up in my car

Lets be so fr. If I'm that server and THE Jay-Z (a literal billionare) doesn't tip at least 20%.... yeah im pissed. YES, a 10k tip is great and way more than one would expect on an average night, but serving Jay-Z is not your average night and he is not your average man. If it it was some random ass person, I would be FAR less inclied to have a negative reaction to this, but like..... bro its Jay-Z. We all know he can afford a 20% tip, which is the standard. I feel like it's cheap as hell that he couldnt cough up a 20% tip.... again ITS JAY-Z!!!!!! THAT BITCH CAN AFFORD IT!

It is Santa Claus, IN:)

Also it depends on the restaurant and type of service. It doesn’t sound like they’re talking about a run of the mill restaurant, not with $1000+ bottles. I served at a high end Italian restaurant where we had to do the whole wine presentation process whenever anyone ordered a bottle at any price point, which takes time and training. I wasn’t just bringing a bottle and pouring into a glass at your table, I was bringing the unopened bottle, presenting it to the person who ordered it, opening it with a manual corkscrew (bane of my existence to do that with an audience staring at me), pouring a small taste first and then pouring in all the glasses - making sure not to drip or spill, and to give everyone the same pour. It was kind of a bitch cause you had to be methodical and do each step slowly, so all my other tables had to wait for whatever they needed while I did the presentation. In that case, I did put in work to serve that bottle to the table. Plus I’ve had friends who worked at the really high end fancy restaurants where people would drop thousands, and some of those restaurants actually offered decent wages (more than the state tipped wage which is $2.13/hr) and offered benefits. So they had more of a cushion in their paycheck than a lot of other places offer. Now I for sure know that’s few and far between, depending on the state you live in and the restaurant owners, so I wouldn’t encourage people to assume that’s the case. But it’s not like you’re ordering a $1000+ bottle at Olive Garden either. I think there’s always more context involved and it’s not really a one-size-fits-all kind of answer for every situation. Just be kind to your servers and put yourself in their shoes.

The not being able to talk half the episode is me all the time 🤣

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood will always be my top anime recommendation.

need Joe to listen to dead horse by Hayley Williams expeditiously!!!!!

Little do Frank and Joe know… coolwar is STILL Ant’s tag.

I know Joe pantoliano from being the original Gabe ugliano from Percy Jackson

PLEASE stop with this i beg HAHHAHZ europeans drink water 😭😭😭

It is Santa Claus, IN. They have a whole theme park themed off holidays called Holiday World.

jujutsu kaisen mentioned 🗣️

Frank: “I dont like seeing animals in pain” 😢 Joey: “So what’s your fave pizza” ? Frank: “Pepperoni” 🔪🐷😋

I am roar LMFAO

Send me the link for Ant’s shirt!!!!

Japan doesn’t do tips.

These guys would lose their minds if they learned about the public bars of soap in Korea.

Are you saying your monthly paycheck was 65 dollars?! And rest is tip?!

I can vouche for Frankie about Jenks pizza… it’s expensive and complete ass lol they get all the drunk people with it 😂

Also I disagree about the cash!!! I am a server and the best thing is walking out every night with cash in hand. Save it till the following week and go to the bank w my stack of cash. It’s my favorite

Does Joe not remember the old video where he did impersonations/accents for a whole video and he fkin killed it??!??

You do tip in Europe. I'm from Romania and it's customary to tip 10-20%. I've been to other european countries and it's mostly the same.

It’s the way I’m the “female” Frankie

can yall see how many times i’ve watched this in less than 48 hours? if so yikes but ive also picked up several more convos i missed errytime

So happy I just bought patreon

These Patreon videos lately have been the same as Monday videos what happened to planned videos for Patreon

I live 2 hours from Santa Claus, Indiana. That’s where Holiday World is, the best waterpark/roller coasters around! I vote you do a Patreon episode getting drunk at holiday world in Santa Claus!

Can big money bags Joe afford mics that don’t pick up the constant table thump noises…. Peace and blessings

my gamertag had been Rolliechole since 4th grade

Is the audio super rumbly for anyone else??

i’ve been a server for 10 years and any tip is great. what makes the percentage thing an issue is the restaurants fault because most of the time we are tipping on our SALES, so the support/bar get their money regardless and so if you tip me 10% on a bill and i still have to tip out 8% of my sales, i technically just made a 2% tip on your table. which then i lost money. but i completely understand most people don’t know that and it shouldn’t be the guests problem or concern anyways. but that’s just some perspective i thought id share

Yeah I feel like most people don’t know you have to tip out the bussers and bartenders based on your sales for the day so if you have a 10000 dollar check it would rack up how much you’d have to tip them out

Also frank joe tipping is 100% a thing in the uk ireland and most European countries it's just done very different. If the food is good and service it's like a few pound or euro on the bill. If you're in a bar it's sort of per person choice I'll buy a round and maybe tip a few pound but not every round of drinks. Also to get the bill there is a hand signal or head nod or something to the waiter as a whenever your free and have a chance can I've the bill

So I duno if only Americans will laugh at this but I'm from Ireland and went to New York. I had cash and I had a card. For the first 3 days til I met a girl from Ireland working in a bar and she told me. But bills in America come with the bill and have a line that says tip so we were leaving cash tips eg $10 tip cash and paying the bill with a card and still writing the tip on the bill too. So we were tipping in cash and on the card double tipping haha no1 questioned it or asked us. It just didn't make sense to us why a bill said tip and then overall what we were paying so we were tipping cash writing the amount of cash we left too haha

Can't believe no one has said it yet, but these patreon exclusives are starting to feel more like the regular episodes. "We're moving to a new studio so we can bring you guys a variety of different video approaches". Only thing we've seen so far is a bunch of grapes on a table. There was nothing wrong with the old ways... step it up fellas

if you have enough money to buy 5k bottle of something then you have enough money to tip properly. also jayz is a billionaire fuck him. eat the rich.

man mine was xXsh0elac3Xx

The only thing I will say about tipping on the total of the bill is that a lot of times in restaurants the servers have to tip out to bartenders, kitchen, and support staff based on that server’s total sales! So if someone doesn’t tip or tips a lower percentage than what the server’s tip-out is, that server loses money out of their own pocket! There are times that servers literally pay to serve a table lol. I’m only sharing this because a lot of people don’t know! It’s a sucky system for sure though

Chris Jericho mention is wild because I was like 10 feet away from him last night and didn’t realize he was someone people knew about

I used to be a server. When you rack up a high bill and you tip like shit or not at all, the server still has to tip out (the bar and kitchen) on the total of the bill so she would be making either no money or paying out of her own pocket for you to eat/drink there. I live in Canada and I’m not sure how it works in the states but that’s how it works here.

Loving the longer videos 💙

Ant 100% needs his own camera

Have the boys come across the guy on TikTok that’s making ice cream out of different types of wood? I feel like that’s their niche.

Message me on Aim: bob da builder

I’m a bartender and asked my coworkers about the tipping on bottles thing. The consensus was, if you can go out and spend that you should be tipping appropriately, despite it being bottles of shit. Personally, I get not doing exactly 20%, but I’d also be salty even if it was bottles lol

stop roasting ant! he’s doing his best

Washing your hands with soap and water is much more effective! Hand sanitizer only kills Gram positive bacteria (bacteria that's easiest to kill) while hand washing will rinse off Gram negative bacteria (really bad bacteria such as E. coli). Good intuition Joe haha.

They are so mean to ant 😂

Y’all need to put some respect on Jujutsu Kaisen man

As a server I don’t care what they put me through I would never complain about 10k

jenks is also a jershey shore (mtv) staple - so they probably charge an assload just from that publicity alone

Can we get something for the desk that muffles the arms slamming down? Lordy these new desks are loud with the arm banging.

ALSO A TIP TRICK, to get 20%.... with the total, move the decimal over to the left one place, and multiply that by 2 and that 20%

my gaming tag is yunggump i play marvel rivals and sometimes fortnite, add me (if you play rivals and are good at console comp [plat III] plz add me and carry me

I was a server/ bartender at a steakhouse for 8 years, and while yes, we live on tips and 20% is the “industry standard” and what you feel like you deserve in most situations. On the other hand, we hosted tons of large business parties/ dinners where the alcohol bill itself is thousands of dollars. I never expected 20% on a liquor bill for simply carrying wine, as you do when you serve a 3 course meal to someone. I think it’s also such a gray area sometimes.

Can’t believe Santa Claus, IN was mentioned!! I live right around there and can confirm it’s 100% real lmaoooo

Horton hears a who.. that’s the same perspective about the universe

WAIT im only like 5 min in and ANT i feel you so deeply tho like I only like some anime but I want to design some merch bc it all sucks lmfao 😭 I'm a professional artist Ant hmu lmfaoooo

Frank & this roar lol. I can’t help but think of the kid on shrek saying “do the roar” over and over 😂😂😂

As a rule to myself, I will always tip 20% on the subtotal (food & alcohol combined)- and will go up or down for service. But 20% minimum!

Was anyone else waiting for the drunk woman on the airplane story 😂

Wait until Joe and frank find out that caviar beluga in specific can go for like 20k lmao

As a person from jersey, i only tip gas attendants if they wash my windshields or if the weather is really bad

It depends on the alcohol. If they are mixing drinks - yes, 20%. If they are bringing bottles, 30% on meal cost.

Frankie leave Joe alone you know he’d bring Nicole😂🫶🏻

even before knowing this podcast I’ve been like Frank where for some reason the word Bitch is used to like spice up a sentence or used as an exclamation rather than actually calling someone it like it’s almost interchangeable with bro or something😂 it’s just something about that word that just adds the right amount of flair sometimes

Leave Ant alone😭 jujutsu kaisen is top tier

Cue Joe doing his version of Vince Vaughn’s speech from Wedding Crashers lol

brother huh wasn’t frankie just hating on joey for liking buffalo chicken pizza slices like a few months ago😭

Wait I wanted to hear Frank explain the Matrix the Frank way

I've never thought about not including alcohol as part of the tip before this conversation. I generally tip on the subtotal and adjust up/down depending on the service. Also, as a New Jerseyean - never tipped a gas attendant, ever. Loving all of the food talk!

I work in the restaurant industry & have my whole college career! In the case of those super expensive wines & bills I would imagine (and hope) that the restaurant would include the appropriate gratuity in the bill. The customer could then tip on top of that if they pleased. Just an fyi, most people don’t know how to tip 🤣🤣 even if I have the shittiest server in the world I’m still giving at least 20% because the hourly in MI is $4 / hr. Not sure if it’s the same in NJ or NY though :-)

I’ve worked in all levels of food service/bartending/bottle service and my only two cents is that if the majority of the bill is shots or expensive bottles, I anticipate 15%-18%.. It also depends on how demanding the customer is, are they being high maintenance and low patience or are they chill?? That also plays into whether or not I’d get chapped about tip percentage. That being saiddddd 10k as a tip is genuinely a life altering tip for most service workers and shouldn’t be taken for granted. I’d be crying if I received that

JJK MENTIONED LETS GOOOOOOO

As someone who was born and raised in Indiana, though I don’t live there anymore, there is 100% a town called Santa Claus. 😊🎅🏼

Petition for Frank to never slurp tea on an episode ever again

I love you Ant for wearing anime shirts in a bunch of videos.

I don’t work at a restaurant where the tabs would be that outrageous.. usually 100-200 maybe 500-600 max on a really good table but I did have a woman order a $100 bottle of wine and subtract that from her total before calculating her tip

santa claus indiana mention is wild

Ignore Frank! PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS!!! There has been studies and washing with soap and water gets rid of many things. One example the neurovirus. Frankie! Ha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

GOD DAMN IT I JUST GOT TO THE EPISODE WHERE THE HORSE GOT HURT IN SOPRANOS AND I THOUGHT ID BE SAFE FROM LEARNING SPOILERS 26 YEARS LATER

HOW BIG IS YOUR TIP would have been a funny title 😂😂😂

the way they were saying to make nachos using Scoops, bro that’s the only way i’ve made my nachos my whole life😭 they’re SO good like that

not me as a gay female (they/them) redhead like “so frank would be me…?” 🤣

PLEASE have an Ant Anime recap show!!!!!!

complaining about getting a $10,000 tip for two bottles of wine is bananas 😭

Umm so no drunk lady story ?

When I waitressed we had to tip our bartenders a percentage of our alcohol sales so that being said however much it was as far as alcohol he might would had to give the bartender that tip that's why the percentages do kind of matter but I get bringing bottles isn't full service like a regular restaurant.

Being from Indiana, it is very much Santa Claus lol

As a server: if you spend $5000 on food and then $10000 on a bottle of wine when all I did was bring it to you and ur not a big party then I expect like $1500 tip cause yes big bill but all I did was bring the bottle

Frank, sip that god damn tea in the mic one more time, I’m putting an ice pic through my fucking ear drum. Love the episode boys keep it up

First, as someone who doesn’t watch anime, you guys need to watch Dan da Dan, like immediately. Second, Franks run down of the Matrix was completely abandoned lol.

Day 2 of asking for an Ant Cam

The pizza talk reallllllly made me miss New York lmao. I don’t even eat a lot of pizza when I visit nyc but damn

I could see him thinking of Nicole but not wanting to say it LMAOOO

ANTTTTTTT. I NEED THE JJK MERCH🤣 so glad you recommended JJK it’s my fav anime

wait did we ever get the drunk woman story lol

I agree that for egregious amounts 20% seems weird but I also don't know if it would fuck over the server/bartender bc they often have to tip out 5% of sales to bussers etc. so they could owe money in some situations

I didn’t realize Vince Vaughn would be on the show today at .27 seconds ranting about bathroom attendants 😂

Thinking about space and our nothingness gives me panic attacks so thanks for that ok a Friday morning boys 🙃😂 don’t know what’s wrong with me that I still watched every word

Washing your hands IS more effective than just sanitizing!

I need ant to have 1 episode of explaining anime plots to joey n frank gosh that'd be so crazy show em fight scenes lol

Ant watching jujitsu kaisen is information I did not know I needed, ant please get the boys into it it would be so funny

"backward galaxy! do you think thats where we are each other but not but also but still???" - joe 2025

I'm from Canada I just found out that people tip our recycle guy , never would of thought that was a thing and I will not be doing it

Answering the question before watching the video: 20-25% - if I go out it means I have more than enough to eat and drink and tip very well. I have never worked in food service and I can’t imagine having to deal with weird stingy rude ass people all day for not that much money. People lean into the “well the establishment should pay more” - well they’re not!! So polish off your wings and tip your damn servers. If I have bad enough service that I don’t wanna tip I’ll ask for a new server cuz that means it’s been BAAAAAAAD. Lol.

We love Ant representing JJK 😂

*former server* If someone gave me a $10,000 tip just for serving bottles for like 6 hours there’s no way I could complain. Expecting 20% is crazy, it’s less work in theory. That’s more than I make in 3 months at a normal job.

Watching Joe anxiously explain his anxiety about bathroom attendants 😂😂😂 factssss

I love that you guys say British accent, like there’s just one 🤣

The problem with not tipping based on percentage is that most servers tip out a percentage of your bill to all of the support staff. So if your bill is $1000 and the server tips out 10%, you tip $100, your server isn’t seeing any of that tip. So that server has just been paid minimum wage to serve your table, and they often make less per hour than kitchen staff (who totally deserve their tip out, but the server does too)

I am also a white guy called Adam 😅

Ant not recommending Attack on Titan is craazzzyyyy

I saw a TikTok where they made a compilation of movie screams but subbed them with Frankie’s roar. The best.

These longer episodes are bringing me immense joy

Great way to start my birthday! Thank you boyz 😋

I caught a stray I am a white guy named Adam 💔

Ant you have to show the merch now please. I loveee jujutsu kaisen

My favorite is when Joey gets tongue tied and just full stops 😂

I need to see the hoodie Ant please show the hoodie

How is frank so cute ? I don’t get it

You have too at this point

Come to Australia next

W
