Around here, if you had an issue with Hispanic servers........you would never get seated, waited on or table bussed. The mangers are also Hispanic......Angel at IHOP .....HI !
Should a tip be based on the waitperson's sexual orientation or lifestyle?

Wah
Just Hispanic?
They're are some of the best restaurants ever in Chicago where many of the owners/waitstaff speak poor english if at all. But they realize the vast majority of their customers are english speaking so they adapt their methods to take care of their customers. Name a country and I can take you to a restaurant. And that's just the topic of language. Ethnicity and sexual orientation, etc are a whole other chapter.
As fpr the people who stiffed that waitress their reasoning is reprehensible and they would be unwelcome in any establishment I owned.

Oh Yeah
As long as my foods hot and the server is nice and good with their service, I always leave 25 to 30 percent. If you've never waited tables you wouldn't know anything about the job. Just because they wait tables doesn't mean that they don't have a family to feed too. Who knows what their scenario is for being a waiter or waitress is. Maybe they work 2 jobs or have lost their job before they waited tables. I don't look down on a person because they wait tables. Life is about helping people in my eyes. Plus the fact that ive waited tables before and they only make 2.25 an hour plus tips which a lot of people don't know that.
Donna and I go out OFTEN. We always learn and use our servers name, and talk them up if it's not too busy. We certainly don't care what their sexual orientation is, and I think it's pretty pathetic to base your tip off of that information.
We tip very good, and I agree with whoever said a tacked on gratuity would get less than we'd normally give.

It seems to me that now days everyone you come in contact with has their hand out for a tip. I tend to over tip (just ask my wife) when I am pleased with your service but the quickest way to get me to stiff you is to blatently ask for a tip or clean my money off the bar when I haven't pushed it to the edge yet. There seem to be more and more people who "demand" a tip. I get a kick out of my mother-in-law. Once in a blue moon she will pick up the tab for a meal when we go out and a buck is the biggest tip I have ever seen her leave (we always sneak in more). I can just imagine the wait staff at her little old ladies gatherings fighting over who has to wait on them.

That’s Craptacular
I was only using Hispanic people as an example....
My point just flew right by you, didn't it? I couldn't imagine telling ANY server, "no offense but I'd be more comfortable being helped by someone else"...based solely on my own prejudices. I mean if the person was dirty or smelled, or picked their nose in front of me....than yeah, I'd rather they not come in contact with my food.

It just so happens that your example hit home with me.......So no, your point didn't fly by me. I just picked it up and ran with it.....weren't planning on that were you ?

Against my better judgment, I agree with oldngray.
Good service, friendly manner, genuine smile you get a tip regardless of race, tender, gender, sexual orientation, religion, sports fan, college affiliation, political party affiliation, etc.
What if she's cute, but has a prominent adams apple?
It is true, I'd hit it.

is he/she less deserving of a tip?
Cute women always make my tip get bigger!....lol
Ann Coulter is a dude?
Nope, makes no difference to me.
