I'm so fed up with this endless and ever-growing list of services that come with an silent mandatory +20%. Nothing else will do, otherwise you're cheap, rude, scumbag, not a decent human being, and shouldn't leave the house.

Put the actual prices that you want to receive for your goods and services on your actual pricelists, if giving or not giving a 'gratuity' is not up for choice anyhow.

If they're just going to increase prices 20%, then really, what's the difference to you? Just bad at math?

No, then you can make a choice beforehand whether or not to patronize the establishment without the shaming. I have been places where the default a certain tip and then flip over the Ipad and make you opt out of a certain tip amount in order to check out. The shaming and sleight-of-hand BS is out of control.

No one can make you feel ashamed. If you feel ashamed, it's because you know you're being stingy and stiffing people who because of the system, have to rely on your generosity for their income. The way not to feel shamed? Pay them what you know to be fair. Then you'll sleep soundly at night.

Wrong. What kind of circular BS is this? And how many times have people said to pay more upfront? This entitlement to other people’s money is bizarre.

You.literally.cannot.do.this.now. So tip!

We’ve. Been. Saying. This.

Enough is enough!

Go moralize somewhere else.

So what are you bitching about? Go complain somewhere else. Like the Restaurant Association message boards.

OP here. Nice tangent, but has nothing to do with how I actually think. I think servers should be paid reasonable salary but their employers.

But of course it is more logical to assume that if I want to tip 15% instead in 20% then I'm practically pro-slavery.


So have you ever spoken to the owner or manager of a restaurant and expressed this sentiment to them? If not, if you just think it while stiffing your server, you’re full of shit.

Exactly this. Anything else is a power play or temper tantrum. Sorry, Miffs.

This is a vent thread. We may need to start one about annoying, officious, intrusive jerks like you soon too.

Anti-tippers feel that they are entitled for low wage workers to go above and beyond for you because it’s “their job” , “their place in life”, that “they chose”... probably want to make America great and bring back slavery too... why pay them anything at all eh?

People should really spend an hour picking your personalized grocery list, haul your 67 hand picked grocery items30 minutes to your house, for 5 dollars, along with ensuring they are carefully transported to your home...with no tip?

Ok.

Slavery’s the way to go for you!

Pretty simple. If you make the choice to support a business that you know does not pay a living wage, AND you don’t tip, you are capitalizing on slavery/ low wage worker exploitation.

I bet if you were paid what you were really worth...or testily produced... it’d be TREMENDOUSLY lower than this society has inflated your degree and social status to be worth.

"People should really spend an hour picking your personalized grocery list, haul your 67 hand picked grocery items30 minutes to your house, for 5 dollars, along with ensuring they are carefully transported to your home...with no tip? " - Doesn't this person make 18-25$ an hour? or is it lower than that?

Also who tips on the full bill versus pretax; cash vs credit; and if they tip different percentages based on their estimation of it being a high end or low end location, on vacation, neighborhood, or culture/cuisine (regardless of actual prices). Do you tip differently depending on who your with or if it’s a friend’s business? Does anyone merit a tip over 10%? Do you tip to the exact penny or do you round up/down?

My pet peeve is that now apparently we are supposed to tip for take out. Huh? I tip delivery because delivering is a service, and I tip if I sit down because table service is a service. Where is the service if I come and pick up food on my own? And people say that you should tip 20%!! I stopped patronizing a few restaurants in the area because their websites/apps defaulted to 20% tip for pickup!

She does not complain about low tippers because they are rare and she understands that they typically just aren't too bright. High tippers more than make up for them. Even so, I would like to request that you all stay out of any fine dining restaurant anywhere. All the servers, including my daughter, appreciate it.

Take it to the "I love ridiculous tipping culture" thread. We're busy here ya goof!!

To you people it's a ridiculous tipping culture issue, to her it's how she makes a living. I do get that none of you care about that. It takes skill and intelligence and she loves what she does.

Your daughter is not entitled to other people's money just because she loves what she does. People have an issue with how pervasive and rampant tipping expectations are getting and are venting about it a bit.

We get it, you like and support your kid. Bravo for you. Your condescending attitude is making you look like a defensive idiot though.

My daughter is entitled to the tips she receives because that is the system at the restaurant where she works and obviously many others. Some people have an issue as you describe and vent ad nauseum about it, but most people just tip appropriately. If they didn't people like my daughter wouldn't be making a decent living at it. Calling you out on your whining and bitching about it may make me condescending and I'm sure to YOU I appear to be a "defensive idiot" but actually I'm just stating the obvious to people who don't seem to understand how things work. Good luck on your anti-tipping crusade, most servers want nothing to do with it and are fine with the way things are.

The reason you tip for takeout from a restaurant (not a fastfood drive-thru) is that someone has to package your food specifically for that. We tip a flat $5.

My tips are rolled into my pay. I absolutely pay taxes on them.

We don’t self report. They go through my manager and I receive them in my paycheck.
