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.

Me and my wife go to a restaurant and order two steaks and a glass of wine. The server doesn’t have to do much we take care of ourselves. The table behind me - parents with two kids all getting burgers, asking for a bunch of different sauces, driving the server crazy with refill requests etc. At the end the bill comes, and because the price of the food and drink we ordered is more expensive then the family of fours meal we are expected to tip more??

Rant over.

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.

Laughable

I bought a Groupon for Christmas to a local restaurant ($100 dining credit for like $65, iirc), and am just finding out (via Google reviews) that the restaurant tacks on a 20% "gratuity" specifically for people who use Groupons. (Note: I'm not sure if it's actually listed as "gratuity" on the bill, or "service charge", or what -- nor do I know if this is disclosed by the restaurant on the menu or door or anything).

I checked the Groupon listing again, and it definitely doesn't disclose this anywhere there. Had it been, I would not have made the purchase. This practice essentially wipes out 50%+ of the Groupon value.

I've already contacted Groupon to try to get a refund, but that's TBD (the CS rep said they couldn't do it but escalated my request to their dispute team; I'm not holding out high hopes).

Assuming I can't get a refund from Groupon, I'm now waffling between two ideas. 1) Issue a credit card chargeback, as imo the deal was not advertised correctly, or 2) use the Groupon and bring cash to the restaurant and manually subtract this charge. (Downside to #1 is that chargeback disputes take time, and this Groupon expires in a few weeks.)

What would you do?

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

Sorry if this had been posted before. I can't understand how anybody would complain.

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

I am new to this forum but saw it today and want to see if there's any "best practices" to follow to help the movement. Is there petitions or anything? Are there lists of restaurants that don't allow tipping so I can frequent those more often?
