She's right.
Minimum 20% for sit-down, 15% for delivery, however, I don't see the point in tipping if I pick up. I'll do a few dollars here and there but other than that..

Tipping is a courtesy, not an obligation. I was shocked when I went overseas and tips weren't accepted. Wtf is America doing. Pay these people a fair wage.:plzstop:

America should pay a fair wage but in the meantime, people should not go out to eat if they cannot afford it/are trying to prove a long.

This seems like her problem.
Get another job or suck it up Karen.
i do think it's a valid point about these corporations paying servers more money...
but at the same time i feel a lot of people hide behind a "this is the job you CHOSE tah do! :plea: dont be mad at me!" mess as reasoning for why they shouldn't feel any type of way about not receiving a tip.
as if these service workers have TONS of options because they're so highly skilled and intelligent but just decided to work as a server for fun
instead of seeing it as "you CHOSE this!" , more people should see it as "you had no choice BUT to..." because that's the reality for many people in those positions.
saying someone "chose" to work a very low paying, thankless job is very....disconnected.
seeing things for what they really are may stir up just a bit more compassion and cause some to think just a little more about adding that tip.

They can afford to eat out if they paid their bill. Tipping is additional.
I've been in restaurants where gratuity was included, so you had no choice but to tip.

Then they should know to incorporate taxes and tip on top of the check.

eating out is a bit of a luxury tbh
and part of that whole experience is tipping
it's def a culture in itself
not so much about a matter of being able to afford it or not IMO but more about just being nice
if you love the whole culture of going out to eat and being served your food instead of cooking it and serving it to yourself
take into consideration those who provide you this luxury.
we cannot forget that it is a luxury. they aren't asking poor orphans for tips after handing them bags of rice and bottled water for basic survival.
This was educational. So the ROOT issue is that adjusting their wages would make the food cost way more and hurt businesses. That's the real problem in this never ending topic.

Churches cut corners and cheat the system by not paying taxes, the least they can do is tip. God would want them to.

They need to raise their wages. How can they legally pay $2 an hour? :uhh:
This child sounds dumb. If you can't afford a tip, they stay your ass home and cook. I can't stand a bitch that is cheap with a ti. I have never had a server job becauseI would cuss a bitch out.

He explained that it would significantly raise the price of food. It's the core issue. So unless we're willing to pay $30 instead of $13 for chicken tenders and Applebees 2 for $20 converts to 2 for $60 then this always be the system. Paying them fairly means that customers will have to pay way more for the food.
In a perfect world the the food will be affordable, the pay will be fair and the companies will just take extreme profit cuts to keep everyone else happy. That's not reality. Business is business and they needs numbers. Cue the low wages and never ending tipping debate.

Just remember these people aren't "choosing" these jobs
many of them have no choice but to work them . I'm super confident that if many of them were able to find something less strenuous and better paying , they'd hop on it .
so if nothing else can we please stop with the "you chose this job! Tuh! Not my fault!" mess. It's extremely unfair and I honestly feel if people let that mentality go they'd be more compassionate to service workers.
a lot of us get a whole KICK out of going out and being served food .
"Ooooh what do U recommend waitress? I have a feeling for something spicy lolz!" :butwait!:
The waitress coming back to your table to check on you, refill your drinks , being polite . And after all that you feel it's OK to leave them nothing as a tip, knowing they only get paid 2 bucks an hour?
Spending days worth of grocery money on one meal, but concluding that tipping the person who served it just too much.
Does that sound like a nice thing to do? And forget being nice, does it even sound reasonable ?

Oh plz. Get another job in retail outside the food industry then.
I hope those who refuse to tip don't frequent these places where they're leaving "0" by that tip mess
Cuz Another reason for being nice to waiters is they're handling food that ur about to ingest.
I will immediately check someone if they're rolling their neck at wait staff or tryna be condescending for no reason , etc. like if u want ur pasta topped with saliva that's on u but I'll stick to the condiments on the menu. Don't do that shit around me bvvvvvvv
Same goes for DoorDash, ubereats etc. if you use these apps frequently u never know when you'll get the same driver again. There's just certain people u don't wanna piss off. For me that'll be anyone handling my food in anyway out of my eyesight .
And they're kinda making it clear to us exactly what pisses them off . So if u don't wanna be nice to them at least think about urself.
Not leaving a tip or tipping will is ghetto and broke.
I don't think it's so much saying that "you chose this mess!". I think we're just all in agreement that the service/restaurant industry should be the ones responsible for paying their employees more. It honestly shouldn't be expected nor "socially" required of the customers to pay to fill in their pay gaps. If you just wanna give a tip because of kindness, then that's all it should be. :dead: Not because of guilt and expectation.

So y'all reward the restaurants for the shitty system they have in place by paying for the meal and making sure they get all their profit from you , and are OK with leaving the workers to be punished for that system with no tip.

Of course no ones thinking paying their Bill is a reward to the corporation. That wasn't meant to be taken literally
but ultimately that's what is happening when u participate in this "system" that we are saying is based on pure greed.
And we are leaving the service workers out of the equation. The corporations don't care about them but let's ask if we care about them. From what I see , doesn't appear we do.
Does that make sense?
We should be using this energy to boycott the restaurant. industry, not sit up with a list of demands for a server only to tip them $2. Eat at home or don't go out to eat.

And we're all participating and feeding into a system in one way or another that disadvantages people someway somehow somewhere
I just don't think this is one of the instances where people should be guilt-tripped

I don't think it's so much saying that "you chose this mess!". I think we're just all in agreement that the service/restaurant industry should be the ones responsible for paying their employees more. It honestly shouldn't be expected nor "socially" required of the customers to pay to fill in their pay gaps. If you just wanna give a tip because of kindness, then that's all it should be. :dead: Not because of guilt and expectation.
America is just greedy and WEIRD..
So y'all reward the restaurants for the shitty system they have in place by paying for the meal and making sure they get all their profit from you , and are OK with leaving the workers to be punished for that system with no tip.
I don't think it's a case of reward, I think people just want to pay for the food they ate and be done tbh
Customers shouldn't be obligated or expected or guilt tripped into paying extra because the restaurant is too greedy to do so.
I don't know how America is legally operates that stupid system of tips
Of course no ones thinking paying their Bill is a reward to the corporation. That wasn't meant to be taken literally
but ultimately that's what is happening when u participate in this "system" that we are saying is based on pure greed.
And we are leaving the service workers out of the equation. The corporations don't care about them but let's ask if we care about them.
I think people do care about them, but let's be honest.. when we're all out enjoying a night of fine dining the last thing you're thinking about is if the waiting staff are being paid fairly :dead:
And we're all participating and feeding into a system in one way or another that disadvantages people someway somehow somewhere
I just don't think this is one of the instances where people should be guilt-tripped
you don't have to proactively think about whether they're being paid fairly . That's why the tip is there. It's a gentle reminder and I'd say it's safe to assume it's common sense that waiters aren't highly paid workers in America.

well then there lies another problem of what to give
10%? 20%?
I'm not gonna sit at my table and work out what is acceptable and what is the bare minimum provided on the level of service I received that night
I know some restaurants even TAKE the tips for themselves and other share 'em out

I'm reading yall gotta tip bartenders too?'
lisn here
It really isn't a ton of work
the "tip" portion of the bill is right there at the bottom
and it's built in to DoorDash, ubereats apps. It's often pre-selected with a suggested amount that can u change at ur discretion .
If there's no problem with spending a couple days worth of grocery money on one meal, we can take that one little extra step in making sure those who deliver it to us get a lil thank you.

Tipping is a courtesy, not an obligation. I was shocked when I went overseas and tips weren't accepted. Wtf is America doing. Pay these people a fair wage.:plzstop:
America should pay a fair wage but in the meantime, people should not go out to eat if they cannot afford it/are trying to prove a long.
They can afford to eat out if they paid their bill.
Then they should know to incorporate taxes and tip on top of the check.
Taxes and tip are not one in the same.
Taxes are already included in the bill. Tips are not (unless automatic gratuity is included), so the diner can still afford to eat out if they pay their bill.
I tip because that's what I was taught.... but it is most certainly not an obligation.
But people still complain when gratuity is included
:diddraispoot:
It's such a turn-off when I'm with someone who complains about tipping or tries to calculate every penny on a bill. We're paying for the ambience of going out, an extra $10/20 shouldn't hurt your pockets.

if someone feels they're paying "too much" once they include a tip
Eating out , or maybe eating out at that specific restaurant may not comfortably be within their budget to begin with
I've seen people ordering out food instead of going the more economically sensible route of buying groceries and cooking it themselves when they barely had any money to their name.
I don't think everyone who doesn't like to tip is "broke" or whatever , there are some people who may have the money and just don't wanna do it .
but if we are talking about that specific type of person... yes they need to reevaluate how they choose to spend their money overall.

Sorry, unless it's in the contract or the terms and conditions we (the public) aren't obligated to do a damn thing. Now that I have the facts, when I'm eating out in the States i'll give a more generously but I don't have to.
These girls don't work for me and I don't work at the restaurant.

It's crazy comparing how things work in other countries
Especially when it comes to things like healthcare.
now this!
Everyone pays taxes in America, why can't that fund universal healthcare?
America are the masters of professional greed
Yea, every job should have similar benefits.
Nah every person born or naturalised in the country should have access to healthcare funded by public tax payers money
There's no reason why the richest nation in the world is charging girls $500 per ambulance ride
It's disgusting
disgusting can't even properly describe it :plzstop:
just look at this shit

Wow.Insane
That is insane omg mdnfnfdnfmdmmddmdndn
I remember reading up on US charging diabetic patients x30 the cost of insulin when that shit literally costs PENNIES
QuoteOne vial of the insulin Ms Marston uses now costs $275 (£210) without health insurance.
In 1923, the discoverers of insulin sold its patent for $1, hoping the low price would keep the essential treatment available to everyone who needed it.
Now, retail prices in the US are around the $300 range for all insulins from the three major brands that control the market.
Even accounting for inflation, that's a price increase of over 1,000%.
Stories of Americans rationing insulin - and dying for it - have been making national headlines.
The most famous case, perhaps, was 26-year-old Alec Smith, who died in 2017 less than a month after he aged out of his mother's health insurance plan. Despite working full-time making more than minimum wage, he could not afford to buy new insurance or pay the $1,000 a month for insulin without it.
Come on :dead:
1k for one vial of insulin

They need to raise their wages. How can they legally pay $2 an hour? :uhh:
He explained that it would significantly raise the price of food. It's the core issue. So unless we're willing to pay $30 instead of $13 for chicken tenders and Applebees 2 for $20 converts to 2 for $60 then this always be the system. Paying them fairly means that customers will have to pay way more for the food.
That's a bunch of bullshit just like the whole "raising minimum wage means the cost of living will increase" lie. The cost of food (along with the cost of living) has increased over the years while service industry wages haven't moved at all. And they're probably increase more to "make up" for the profits lost during the beginning of the pandemic. Point the finger at those greedy billionaires who don't want to pay you a living wage instead of other working class people trying to enjoy a meal.
:udontlookok:
The same people complaining about tipping would also be complaining that eating out was too expensive if the tip was included in the wage. I don't see the difference if they include it or not

Yes I usually give a couple of euros for delivery of pizza and I had delivery guys who were genuinely happy with like 5 dollars extra. It's just a little bonus because they already getting paid. When I go out to eat and the service is good I will tip extra..but if the food is bad/cold or the people are rude or not paying a lot of attention they can forget about the tip. I feel like that's the beauty of tipping; people who really treat you well get a nice bonus.
It's also usual here to make it an even number..so if you pay 17,55 you can say let's make it 20. Not an obligation at all. It also depends on the restaurant..when you go to a fancy place you leave a tip for the ambience. We never tip at places like McDonalds.
I remember on holiday in Italy I thought I needed to tip a bit more because of other rules in countries. There was this one waitress who couldn't accept more than 5 dollars because of some rule the boss had. So basically just pay your employees and let a tip be a tip and not an obligation please.
On holiday in Serbia the food was so cheap and the taxis too. It was very bizarre to see the people had to work so hard. Same as Poland..in those countries the value of money is totally different. So I definitely tipped a LOT more just because people had unacceptably low wages.
America sounds like a disaster. The last thing I need in my dining experience is entitled waiters because the boss is cheap or the system of minimum wage is broken.

THIS
And to put the responsibility on the customer is the real problem. It's easy for companies to get away with bad behavior. I feel like the whole meaning behind tipping gets lost if people get pissed if you don't. If you roll your eyes at me you can forget about that T.I. tip.
