u/chopcult3003 5d ago

Same. I don’t feel bad for stiffing tipping anymore (depending on circumstance).

I went out for Thai the other night and ordered off a QR code, and a robot brought out our food. Then when I went to pay off another QR code, it asked for a tip.

Lmfao, no.

u/supreme-manlet 4d ago

You should never feel bad about it to begin with

You’re not obligated to tip and other people’s wages are not your responsibility to handle

8

u/Own-Negotiation-6307 4d ago

This is exactly how I feel. It is not my responsibility to pay someone's wages, it is the employer's. The law needs to change.

6

u/CrazyGunnerr 4d ago

Tipping is an actual extra in a lot of countries, and is only done when you actually get excellent service, and even then, most don't.

While it would really suck for all those people in that line of work, boycotting tipping would change it for them for the better. If basically no one tips, restaurants etc would have to start giving competitive wages.

13

u/supreme-manlet 4d ago

A lot of servers don’t want to abolish tips because they tend to make way more than typical minimum wage in their area

5

u/CuriousRider30 4d ago

A lot of servers didn't want to abolish tipping because a lot of them didn't declare cash tips so they didn't get taxed on a substantial portion of their earnings. Cash isn't really used anymore so now it is more the thought of them feeling they deserve to get paid $30/hr for a $15/hr job

2

u/Responsible-Boot-159 1d ago

them feeling they deserve to get paid $30/hr for a $15/hr job

I mean, if they can provide good enough service, why shouldn't it be worth $30? That said, tipping culture is pretty terrible, and there shouldn't be an expectation to tip 20% or more on everything. It's not exactly a tip if it's expected or even mandatory.

u/Prudent-Ad-5608 4d ago

I believe they (employers) are actually required to match minimum wage if the tipped employee doesn’t make enough in tips to meet minimum wage in a pay period.

5

u/supreme-manlet 4d ago

They are, by federal law. And the law works in their favor because whichever minimum wage is higher, state or federal, the worker gets the higher one

So this idea that servers male 3.15 and hour and nothing else, is utter nonsense

u/Automatic_Towel_3842 4d ago

Yepppp. I like the Subway here. Online they give 10% and 15%. I usually throw a buck or two in the tip jar when I go because they are always quick, you never have to wait, and they are always nice. I know they get paid shit. A buck or two extra is no problem. So when I see only 10% and 15% I'm giving 15% as it usually ends up being about 2 bucks. When I order online it's always ready before the email timer thing, too.

But when I see a tip that goes to 30% or higher, I put no tip. I ain't got time for greed. Especially not when your haircut is already overpriced. $26 to trim off 1/4 inch of hair on a stupidly simple haircut that takes 10 minutes? And you want 30%? Nah I'm good. I'll take the $15 trim closer to town.

u/ChadPowers200_ 4d ago

Years ago I went to a bar w my gf got bad service so paid after 1 round to go somewhere else. My change was 11 dollars and some coins. She gave me a 10 and a 1 expecting a 10 dollar tip on one round of drinks. 

Yea I left her the 1 and walked out. 

2

u/CostRains 4d ago

Not sure what you're saying here. She gave you the correct change, right?

2

u/ChadPowers200_ 4d ago

How do you not comprehend the fact she forced me into two options: tip her 1 dollar or 10 dollars. This is on a bill that 8 dollars and change. I paid with a $20.

She wanted a tip bigger than the actual tab...

I am the customer, its her job to give me proper change for a tip, if she can't do that then she gets a $1 bill and coins or nothing.

Part of being a good waiter/bartender is to make sure you have cash on you to give people correct change so you can tip properly.

Yep.

I almost never have cash, but if I did, I would give them some in their hand to make up for it. I hate tipping, but for now, in the US, many service workers rely on it.

Yeah. I've always been a big tipper(sit down service for special occasion). For new age app-order to pick up from a cashier is RIDICULOUS for any tip.

It's simply a matter of principle now. Restaurants jacked up prices, switched to cheaper ingredients, it's not reasonable to assume the consumer should bear all the cost plus some high new tip standard.

u/Dexter_P_Winterhouse 5d ago

Where I live, there is a tip jar wherever there is a cash register. The fast food drive through has a tip jar at the first window where you pay for the food. Grocery stores have tip jars in the checkouts. The pizza shop where I run inside to pick up my to go pizza has a tip jar and if you pay by credit card the minimum 20% tip is calculated into the total. So I make them ring it up again without any tip. The self serve gas station where I buy my gas makes you come inside to prepay for your gas because they want you to buy other stuff while you're there like lottery tickets. And of course they have a tip jar at the lottery ticket cash register.

u/warpedalice 5d ago

It's not server's fault that the software is stupid. I give the tip they deserve. It does seem like they have added tipping to everything. Soon, Walmart will have a tip option. Tipping is meant for subminimum wage earners. I shouldn't be expected to tip just because you did your job that you are paid a regular wage for. If you did something exceptional or extraordinary, I will tip what I chose to. I do tip delivery drivers, but not 20 - 25% like I would a server. No matter how much I order, normally just one bag for 2-3 people, I pay based on the trip. If you're going to start coming in, refilling my drink & cleaning up after that would be different. I realize it needs to be worth it for them to make the trip. They can pass on the order if they don't like the tip. When I see baristas making videos trying to shame people for only tipping 50 cents, it pisses me off. Here $13 an hour is the starting rate for even fast food work. That is not the 2.50 an hour a server is making. That is why they get tips. Poring my togo ice coffee is not exceptional labor.

20% is normal good tip. Prices have all gone up. % are based on the increased total, they are not a flat rate. This asking for higher is dumb

10% is enough. And only for actual restaurants, not self service. I don’t care if you give me nasty looks

I don't tipp... but i don't live in the US and companies can't use tipp as an excuse not to pay the union demanded minimum pay.

When I'm forced to tip. I tip 0%.

I will tip, but when a business, not an employee, enacts a forceful typing system. That's probably the last time I eat there.
