It's like a half-second shot that 99.9% of people don't catch. I'm not sure if that was Buscemi brilliance or QT brilliance, or a bit of both. It explains Mr. Pink's reluctance to tip the waitress better than his own dialogue. Absolute fantastic subtlety.

That's just Tarantino's thoughts in real life. And since his characters are the bad guys, I guess there was no other way for someone else in his film to pronounce his thoughts 😁

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

I do love all the subtle clues, foreshadowing and character introductions they threw in just this one scene. First, they talk about random stuff, which mostly involves Mr. Brown and Mr. Blue, meaning they’re not important considering they get killed immediately after. Mr. White taking away his notebook in a joking manner shows their friendship. Mr. Blonde kiddingly suggesting to shoot Mr. White shows he’s a psychopath who enjoys killing. Next, they debate whether they should tip waitresses or not, as they’re in a situation to give which is ironic for robbers like them as they usually take instead. Mr. Pink is the only one who doesn’t wanna give a tip, showing he thinks for himself, which is why he’s the last man standing. Mr. White says he should tip the waitresses by pointing out that they all count on their tips to live, showing that despite his tough facade, he has a soft spot which leads to his demise. Mr. Orange, who was the most silent during the conversation, agrees with Mr. Pink because he tries to fit in. When Joe asks who didn’t tip, Mr. Orange rats him out, showing he’s the mole. QT, you cheeky clever bastard.

[@shiningfriday4495]

Vik Ferreira Barrios aside from 'from dusk till dawn' I always felt Tarantino took me 'out' of the films he made. He's just so unbelievable in his roles. A nerdy weird guy always takes me out of the scenes, especially 'pulp fiction.' I'm glad he had such limited screen time in this film. He just can't pull off the roles he gives himself. He doesn't sound like he in anyway he belongs in the scenes. He doesn't look like he belongs there either. In 'from dusk till dawn' he played a weirdo sex freak, and I believed in his character. In this and pulp fiction it just seemed silly him being in the films

There’s also a subtle but cool discussion of coffee in Pulp Fiction at Tarantino’s house after Travolta shoots the guy in the back seat. Someone compliments Tarantino on his coffee and he says he doesn’t drink crappy coffee. Later when the Wolf shows up, he asks for coffee, takes a sip, and nods at Tarantino like “that’s damn good coffee.” Such a subtle little detail that a lesser director/writer wouldn’t have thought of.

He was smart in this movie, by making the character he played of limited screentime--when he does that, it's fine, and even a little charming. If he's on screen too much, it feels a little indulgent. Like, it was down to the wire in "Pulp" whether he'd play Lance, the dealer, or Jimmy. Thank god he let Eric Stoltz play Lance, because he never would've been able to deliver some of those lines like, "The day I bring an OD'ing bitch to your house, then I give her the shot!"

No. Joe isn't a walling-talking calculator. He is a creation of Quentin Tarantino. And Quentin Tarantino isn't much interested in keeping things realistic. He knows he's writing and directing a movie and his aim is to show a movie. Or, maybe he foreshadowed someone will get this joke. Either way, he's a man who likes to keep his movies fast here and there and given that Reservoir Dogs is his debut, he could very will did it because he wanted to move on to more important parts

[@andrewhayden9896]

I agree with the other comment, it's a debut so it was probably rough getting everything condensed down to a certain runtime. But, you could also argue that Joe is a crime boss and he has made an entire career out of robbery and probably sees money, counts money, crunches numbers, all of that sort of thing all of the time. He knew how many people were in the party and so it only took a glance to tell that someone stiffed their tip.
