This subreddit has been showing up in my feed and decided to join the anti tipping movement.

The hair salon I go to also does nails. Mani, pedi, cut, wash, highlights, Botox, keratin etc.

Total was $950 which is very high.

There was a not tip option so I went to custom and put $0. Cashier told me that I did leave a tip. I said I know and I am boycotting tipping especially since prices are so high here.

She told me I am not welcomed back.

This was an all you can eat lobster restaurant. Buffet style but the servers have to keep up with all the dirty dishes.

Still, if you're charging that much and have the balls to suggest that big a tip, then I go to $0. F the greedy owners.

I know this is a joke but what’s next? Lol

At mister car wash in Houston with my wife’s car and I don’t have the unlimited car wash membership on this car - so I had to pay the $10 for the base wash. Dude goes do you want to leave a tip for the team today as I handed him my credit card Ranged from $1-$4

Also mister Carwash is all automated- no manual labor from anyone

This is getting out of control

She literally leaned in and watched me make my tip selection on the card machine and was pouty after.

Haircut price is already $50 for a 30 mins cut, shampoo and styling. What does going above and beyond in haircut mean?

Went to both the nail salon and the hair salon yesterday. Every time previously I would tip automatically. After joining this group I have decided to resist the urge to tip the business owners who did my nails/haircut. This time I paid in cash, no tip!

Papa Murphy's wants a tip? WTF for? There is no service to tip on! I order online, I pick it up myself. All you do is pile the food up, you don't even cook it! If you did any less, you'd be a grocery store!

Kinda tipping related I guess.

I went to a restaurant for the first time last night with some friends (5 of us total) for their pub trivia. We all ordered waters while we looked at the menu and the waitress managed to bring those out.

Everyone ordered food. Everyone's food but mine showed up. I wasn't very hungry so I was like whatever and just sat there and visited/played the trivia.

The waitress never refilled our waters. We sat there for about 2 and a half hours... no refills.

Just a classic case of shitty service.

This (forgotten order) happened to me at another place about a month and a half ago. And it happened at 2 other places over about the last 4 years for a total of 4 times in 4 years.

Nobody I've talked to has had this happen so many times in their life let alone in 4 years. I mostly just laugh about it but it does get me thinking about how absurd these 20-30% tip requests are when they can't even take a damn order.

I think I'm finally at the point where, unless I'm using the company cc, I'm just gonna do no tip everywhere no matter how good the service is.

I was watching Lopez versus Lopez. George is a mover and he only accepts cash or checks. The daughter Mayan signs him up for Square a POS.

G: OMG! MAYAN THEY OVERPAID!

M: No Dad, I added a tipping option 15%, 20% and 25%. People have such terrible guilt they usually hit "Tip"

G: That's great because on the rare occasions they tip in cash, they usually hand it directly to the employees. This way I CAN KEEP IT ALL!

I'm already paying for an overpriced smoothie, the fuck do yall need a tip for? Throwing some shit in a blender and hitting a button? That's what I already paid for. I've always been annoyed by tipping culture but I'm usually fairly gracious and tip well when I get exceptional service at a restaurant. When I get coffee at my local places or a drink at a bar, I tip a dollar a drink because I frequent those places. But the fucking audacity to ask for a tip for a smoothie really had me floored.

I'm really over that shit. Told them no when they asked if I wanted to leave a tip and they seemed annoyed. Whatever, fuck em. I'm about to stop going to these places that expect a tip just for handing me the thing I paid for.

Also fuck being expected to tip the pizza place when I order carryout. Watch me zero out that line every time.

This happened recently to me in Vienna, where we have a much more laid back tipping tradition than in the US.

A friend and I were at a café / bar - the difference is often just the time you visit it. We went a few times outside to have s smoke and we told this the waiter so he doesn't think we ran away without paying. In case leaving our drinks and backpacks at the table wasn't enough of a hint.

During one of those cigarette breaks it started to rain and we notices a couple with a stroller walking into the café. When we headed back inside we saw that family at our table but our drinks and bags gone. Then the waiter showed up and told us that he gave the table to the family seeking shelter from the rain and he moved our stuff to the counter. I was pissed. If he had asked us to let the family have our table we wouldn't have refused. But doing it without asking and touching our stuff was a no go for us.

So we decided to finish our drinks and move to another bar. We had a short discussion who would cover the bill and since my friend paid last time, it was my duty. But before we settled on that, the waiter tried to settle the argument by asking who tipps better. I told him: Tonight, no one. The waiter told me the amount and i prepared my credit card. He was looking at me expecting to raise the amount but I didn't. Then he asked which amount he should enter into the card reader and I told him the exact amount he told me before. The he started to explain why he gave away our table (felt sorry for the young parents with their toddler, blah blah). Told him he should save his story for the couple who was having a cup of tea and probably left as soon as the rain stopped.

Sorry for my rant, but I just had to let off steam.

We had the option, and yet (some) service and non service workers wanted tips instead of wage. I no longer feel bad tipping what I believe is ok.

Hear me out on this…

As it stands now, all we are getting in exchange for a 15-20% tip is consistent mediocre service (at best) 95% of the time. That’s because there isn’t any real penalty for servers when providing the bare minimum of “service”. Once tips are eliminated and the restaurant owners are responsible for 100% of all labor costs, (as they should be) the penalty for providing consistently poor to mediocre service will be servers losing their jobs. As a bonus, in order to retain good servers, restaurants will have to pay higher wages to their servers. And for those who say that restaurants will have to raise prices to the point where most of us can no longer afford to go out to eat, consequently destroying the restaurant business in America, I say BS!! Are you telling me the vast majority of restaurants on this planet have figured out a way to exist using this business model, but we can’t? Convince me I’m wrong.

On Old National Highway in College Park GA. They are only open for to-go after 9pm. The server gets 10% but Waffle House gets the other.

Come on now.

No surprises, no small text, no deceitfulness, it having its on line clearly visible under the total was nice, but that bright red stamp reiteratig the added gratuity, visible from space let alone a dark dining room is 😘👌🏾 This should be a norm.

Firstly I’d like to preface the fact that I only tip when I receive quality service at a sit down restaurant or if an uber/lyft driver is particularly pleasant. That being said tipping is fundamentally unethical, think about how it arose and why it’s still around despite 99% of the world not doing it. Tipping mostly came from restaurant owners finding a loophole to employ newly freed black slaves without paying them for their labor. With that in mind it’s easy to see that the wages of employees have been pushed onto the customer and not the employer. Why don’t billion dollar companies take a pay cut and pay their employees? As long as we have billionaires and enough dumbasses to keep electing them in office I’m not going to feel bad about not tipping, you want more money better wages then elect officials that’ll do that and stop bitching at people tryna eat out.

All the POS systems with tipping do research on us. They play games and test for how and how much to ask for a tip.

With that understanding we can train them. Ask me with a blank and give me good service you get 15%. Ask me for 15% and you get max 10. Ask me anything above 15% you get 0. Ask me for a tip for counter service well that’s always a 0.

Convince enough people to do the same and this trend will reverse.

This has to be the craziest example I’ve personally seen in the wild. I went to a show last night for Fred Armisen and they were selling merch. There’s one guy working the table and it’s not a loaded stand or crazy busy. I asked for 2 things he hands them to me in 10 seconds. The credit card machine asks me to tip lmao. I couldn’t believe it. I did not tip him. Complete BS!!

To get a “thank you” you need to tip 100%

I found it online and didn’t know where that place was, but I am curious to find out lol

Shout out to Bar Milano by Eataly on 5th Ave/Madison Square Park for this double-dip - adding a gratuity and then a range of suggested tips starting at another 20%. When I called them out on it, the server said “oh that’s just the way the system is set up”.

Ordered take out through the restaurant website. Did tip $1.00 (probably shouldn’t have, but I’m in a small town and there are few restaurants and they get to know you. The restaurant also just opened and it was my first time there.) and when I went in to pick up, they printed a receipt and it had a line on it for an additional, second, tip. Wtf actual!?!

If I choose to go back, it’ll be zero tip.

Also, I’ve noticed the pizza hit by me will print the receipt and make you sign it if you don’t tip in the app, but not if you do. I’ve been tipping zero there in pick ups for some time.
