If you can’t afford to tip at least 20% at a restaurant or a delivery driver, cook yourself or pick the order up yourself.I just don’t understand how people can go out to places and not tip their server.
I've always tipped on the higher side. I do think it's getting a little ridiculous though. Having 20% now as the minimum amount you're expected to tip is pretty crazy.I also never really know what to do with carryout. I'll give smaller tip for that, but the employee isn't serving me like if I'm dining in.
It was 15% standard, 20% for great service, less for bad service.I don't know who universally decided it's higher all of a sudden?
And that was for someone who took your order, brought your drinks to your table , brought your food to your table, and checked on you for everything else you might need during your meal.Recently I went to a counter service place where I had to find my own table, walk up to the counter to order my food, and then had to return to pick up my meal. When I paid at the time of ordering, the choices for tip percentage on the screen started at 20%. All the person behind the counter did was touch a couple of buttons on the IPad to enter my order and flip it around so I could add a tip. In my mind, that's not "service".
Are those tips split amongst the cooks/kitchen staff? That’s the assumption I’ve always made, but you know what they say about making assumptions. I doubt the person behind the counter is keeping the 20%.
When did tipping start covering everyone that works in the restaurant?
Tipping should be illegal.The gig economy is bad for everyone.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
During the pandemic, I was ok with all the "new" tipping. Now, I'm boycotting back to the old rules. Sit-down restaurants, bars, taxi/ubers, yes. Everywhere else, no.
Well to do, college educated prat gatekeeping people trying to get by. Story at 11, available on YouTube.
Nope. I want the businesses/companies to pay their employees a full living wage
Tipping shouldn't be illegal.Being allowed to pay employees less because they can make it up in tips should be illegal.I believe we're the only country where tipping is this common of a practice. It's really just a tactic to transfer the cost of labor from companies to customers.
People who work hard and are really good in service industries LOVE the tipping system. People who mail it in? They hate it. I’m a generous tipper, 20% is my floor for even mediocre to poor service, considerably more for good to outstanding. Want less good/great and more mediocre/poor? Stop incentivizing good/great. Do you really think a waiter/waitress, barber, cabbie, etc., should be paid based on their “experience” rather than their effort or ability? You’re the one being served - be generous and reward it, especially when it’s good.
So you agree, it's a tactic to transfer the cost of labor from the companies to consumers?Companies are the ones profiting off their employees. Be generous and reward it, especially when it's good.
