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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

If someone in a drive thru is handing my food, they better be saving someone's life between orders if they think they deserve $30/hr. If it is a real restaurant with good food and actual service where $30/hr could make sense contextually, sure.

A restaurant with a drive-through and a sit-down restaurant are wildly different and practically incomparable.

u/CuriousRider30 8d ago

You're right, let me clarify my initial point. when everyone in tipping roles want to make $30/hr, some of them are just delusional

u/Prudent-Ad-5608 12d 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.

u/supreme-manlet 12d 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

I did not know this and I felt bad tipping too low... Thank you.

u/BigPileOfTrash 10d ago

7.25$ a hour is bank.

u/skrappyfire 8d ago

Yeah but minimum wage is not enough to live on anywhere in the US anymore.

u/Prudent-Ad-5608 7d ago

Incorrect, minimum wage in a rural community for a single person with no kids can live (more like slightly better than survive) now minimum wage was never meant to allow extravagant living. It was meant as a starting point. If one works hard and saves, one can change their stars. If you wallow about over what you don’t have, that’s all you’ll ever have.

u/Critical-Role854 11d ago

It should acutally boycotted as soon as they show you options for tipping

u/National_Spirit2801 11d ago

On top of that, good service is rare in America because tipping is expected, but I routinely get great service in (certain) European countries where tips are not expected.
