Why Don't Minorities Tip Well?


If you've ever worked as a server / waiter / waitress in any kansas city restaurants you might be aware that most minority groups do not usually tip well.

Why is this?

I wonder if it's because the bulk of the industry's servers are white and the minorities feel like the white people owe them something.

But no matter what the reason, it is a FACT that minorities don't tip well or don't tip at all - ask any waitress in town.

Anyone have any answers?
