That sounds like a great restaurant, most aren't like that.

There's two scenarios here that people fall into:

Either you're going out to a nice restaurant and in that case you should have the money ready to tip well for the great evening you're enjoying

or

You're going to a s***ty restaurant where the servers make 2.50 an hour and the food is garbage. In that case you should be tipping because these people's jobs suck. No one forced you to go to a terrible chain restaurant where all they do is heat up frozen chicken and serve s***ty pasta.

Also I'm not talking to you specifically here I'm just quoting your post, you seem like someone who would tip and be sensible and kind.

I have. I feel like we could probably be friends you sound a lot like me.

No but i actually like the tip jar idea on twitter cause it makes it easier for people doing crowdfunding so its good on that end of things and we've seen a huge increase in crowndfunding over the past year so gotta respect twitter a bit for that response i guess

i think what really happened is he grew up lol

Everyone has tipped bad in their life, especially when they were young and dumb as bricks (a lot of people on this site for example).

Better check your facts, those aren't consistent like they used to be
even I'm slacking

"tipping bad"

INTERMISSION

lol nah he didn’t, he’s still an idiot. But he’s making more then 170$ a week now lmao

Yeah I mean that’s a factor too. If I was making $100K a year I probably would give less of a f*** because money would mean less to me.

you should tip if it's waiter or food driver

they aren't paid fully by their employers who are able to exist/are profitable only because they screw over their employees to reduce cost (it's literally a cornerstone of their business model)

if their business was ethnical the cost would be burdened on you anyway; if you don't like to tip you better not ever complain about businesses screwing people.

you're basically a part of the problem/only care about your sandwich

mind you I'm a capitalist and saying this

My former roomate in colllege was like "nah i never tip,fuck them" and dude would order in when its midnight and theres heavy ass snow

I do think maturity and budget play a big part.

lol what. restaurant have small margins its way more to it than what you said.

this tipping system is stupid and youre a d*** if you dont tip

dont hate the player hate the game

💀💀

It is what it is.

You tip or you don't. I'm not in the mood to argue with Americans willingly cucking themselves into a charity based wage that allows customers to discriminate against servers because they're too silly to just raise the federal minimum to 15 an hour.

And yeah no, tipped employees are paid at the least, the federal minimum wage. Its illegal otherwise

America needs unions but this country and its populace is garbage so its w.e

It’s great man the staff benefits are fire you can travel to anywhere in the world for like $80 depending on who you end up working with

I tip all the time for good service. but lets not act like waiters will only make $2 an hour if you dont tip

It could be as simple as not using those services from companies which don't pay full wages

you don't need a union, but yeah the populace is ignorant

Americans are used to eating out so they probably won't give this up; private business subsidizes their eating habit while the worker gets pegged

F*** the restaurants. If you can't afford to pay workers a livable wage u shouldnt be in service.

I feel like anyone who’s worked in restaurants will tip at other restaurants cause we know how s***ty customers can be lol.

How much are your haircuts if you tipping $20? You tipping 100%?

True to a point, but there's also another way of looking at it.

In Europe servers make good money, but the service is trash. That's fine, I don't need a server to be fawning over me to feel special. When I was there it was understood you just tip your change and everyone is happy.

In America it's different. If you can only afford to go to garbage restaurants you should tip in solidarity with the servers who can only find these bad jobs.

The plus side is serving CAN be a great job, if you gain experience and get in at a great restaurant you can make a good living....off of tips from people who have the money and aren't cheap about it.
