Why tipping is a scam

[shotgun85]

I'll just leave this here. whos rustled? who agrees?

[Goncho]

agreed, but imagine how much sh*t you'd get if you actually practiced this at a restaurant.

only people who can't critically think/uneducated think tipping is a logical thing to do. lol just lol at tipping, dumbest ****ing chit ever.

i love when servers give the argument "if you can't afford to tip you shouldn't go out". i don't think they understand what the word tip means. it's not that people can't afford an extra 5 dollars, it's that i hate being forced to donate to charities

[zackk14]

you realise waiters earn below minimum wage?

yeah thats why he explains some strategies to counter that. e.g. never go back to that restaurant lol.

but seriously i could rage when I see some stupid waitresses rage on ******** because they didn't get a Tip. There was just one a few days ago saying "you have to tip, even if the service sucked" .... u fking wot ? If they can't make a good job why should i tip anyone lol.

[shotgun85]

You realize, that thats not the customers fault but the restaurant owners? Only because he want's to maximize his profit im responsible for feeding the waiter?
Sorry, im not ignorant but nobody forced people to be a waiter.

lol so now servers think they can tell eme what to do with MY money and on top of that they want to sabotage the economic that is the very real foundation of their job ?

[benyu]

first of all, no one forced people to be servers so if they make minimum wage, i dont give a fck

in canada, you must tip unless you get ****ty service . they get pulled money of their wage if they dont get tipped but its their fault for not receiving any tbh


heard a group of 10 + was in a drinking party and the servers had a big tab of $800 , no tip received, servers had to pay $80 or so out of their own pockets. basically breaking even for the night. their fault for not getting a tip or even once mentioning it to the drunkies so they quit after their shift.

never understood this. there is a MINIMUM wage for a reason. how do they get around paying at least MINIMUM wage?

[DoULikeDaggers]

Is the whole "black people don't tip" thing legit? Or just something racist as*holes say? Can a few black miscers confirm?

[ppscalzo]

you realise waiters earn below minimum wage?

Not in Canada

[WeedWizard420]

you realise waiters earn below minimum wage?

No they don't, and you have no clue how the restaurant biz works. If a worker doesn't get paid enough in tips to at least equal minimum wage, the restaurant covers the difference at the end of the day.

gives the waitress incentive to be better at customer service, althought threatening to fire her would be more effective

guy above, they make less than minimum because their wage plus tips equals at least minimum. thats why it's bullsh*t. the restaurant owner must absorb the cost of labor, not the customer.

Cali brahs, waiters and waitresses here make minimum before tips, so no need to tip

Back in the old days when being a waiter was a respectable job my old man would clear $800 to $1200 a night in tips but he received $0.50 as his wage.

If you were any good at your job you weren't working in the McDonalds of the service industry like Olive Gardens. You'd work in the really high end places in NYC or London that sell dishes for $100 a plate.

Can confirm that in the industry, a lot of servers call black people "Monday's."

As in, "hey bro you got a table of Monday's that just sat in your section"

The logic is that everyone hates Monday's.


No racist but just relaying what I heard a lot while bartending

[nosirrahx]

I am very well off and tip everyone I can. The way I see it I am simply equalizing the part of my success that was luck.

When I was poor though, yeah, no tip for you.

[Kansas123]

Tipping has a good idea behind it. But people don't treat it as it should.

Serving is a customer service which means it should be a "you get what you pay for" kind of deal. If you get a great server they should be paid more than a lazy server not the "you should tip 15% minimum".

So the tip is suppose to be an incentive to the waiter/waitress to do their job better (and this is Merica where liberals think they're entitled to something when they're not) so an incentive is necessary.

And if tipping didn't exist they would be paying their servers 8-10+ an hour rather than the 2.15 or whatever it is so you would be paying it no matter what because they would jack up food prices

Moral of the story: if you don't want to tip don't. No need to complain or anything just don't tip.

If you think you should tip then tip

lol they can call me whatever they want behind my back won't change the fact I will not tip their sorry ass

[Billynghialam]

Yea, not tipping here in Seattle is becoming a very well known trend.

Since everyone is already making min wage you don't really tip unless you visit the same place often.

I still tip my favorite cafe on sundays because how well they know me and my fiance, I still tip my barber because he does an exceptional job, and I still tip my tailor for the same reason.

But if its just some random place that I probably will never see again, I don't tip, and its becoming more and more common

I mean if you want to keep being a cheap **** that's your choice bud.

[UTSoccerbro]

I always tip well, mainly because I worked in the industry for years, but also because I like knowing that if I return I'll get prioritized for good service.

I've been going to the same hookah lounge for years and tip 25% plus.

Brb never charge me cork fee when I bring my own alcohol
Brb always fresh coals
Brb no upcharge for extras
Brb first name basis with whole staff

In the end I probably actually save money at this point with how they hook me up.

[Tamorlane]

they should completely get rid of the expected tipping system and anyone being paid below minimum wage immediately gets bumped up to minimum.

then anyone can still decide to throw in a tip when they actually get good service. It's nice to tip a good waiter because they did an amazing job and really deserved it. It takes that away when the tip is expected. In fact I think it makes the service tend to be worse.

[OliverHeldens]

I used to be a person who tipped 20-25% no matter what. However, I recently changed to a different strategy.

Most of the time when I go out, it's to a place where I'm getting some type of hookup and know the bartender. In these cases I tip like 17-20%. I'm always going to give a little extra when someone provides me with something extra, or if it's a person who is well connected and can help me in some fashion.

Otherwise though, if it's an establishment I rarely go to or a waiter/bartender I'm not familiar with, there's no real issues leaving like 12-15%. I'm not naturally a person who is inclined to tip poorly, but I probably eat out or go to bars 5-7 times every week, and that **** adds up.

[JRMoore82]

How does everyone like their services at McDonalds, Taco Bell and the likes??

People who struggle to even get a simple order right at times?

You want these people serving you at a restaurant?

Get rid of tipping and who do you think will want those jobs?
