you make enough so you should tip more is just another shaming tool.

The hypocrisy of DCUM is over the top.

It's not hypocritical in the slightest. It's demanding that employers pay their people well and do their jobs. Why is the restaurant industry exempt from every basic business practice that the rest of the corporate world employs? I bet you demand that Amazon pay living wages. What would you say if Amazon required a 20% tip for all delivery people? You'd think that was crazy, right? Same thing. Stop being daft.

I recently got the iPad flip “it’s just gonna ask you a few questions” at a trampoline park.

No. I’m not tipping at a trampoline park.

Oh, I see, you’re putting the squeeze on the workers to get at their employers. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

I'm not putting the squeeze on anyone. I don't employ these people. The employers who refuse to pay living wages does. Why we insist that consumers pad their salaries because employers refuse to is beyond me. but sure, blame everyone but the employer.

I don't give rat's a$$ what you say. If you want to give 100% tip, be my guest.

I’ve stopped going to places that put it on the screen at the counter. Who is it even getting paid to? The person at the register?

I'm not gonna encourage this crazy and toxic development of the tipping culture. I pay 15% (pre-tax based) for table service and strictly 0% for take-out and everything else. It has nothing to do whether I can afford it. You don't shame people to give you more money for doing nothing just because they can afford it.

I don’t like when the pre-set amounts calculate the tip off of the taxed amount. The tip should be calculated off of the pre-taxed amount.

I would not be surprised if some employers are just pocketing it.

Since I can do basic math and can think for myself, I don't need to rely on the "standard" tipping options and can just choose what I would like to tip. Its that simple.

I tip for 3 kinds of people:

Table service waiters
Hair stylist
Salon employees (nails, massage)

Ridiculous! When I'm prompted I hit no tip. I still consider 15% decent and 20% good. If they want more then that, they need a better job. Once the employers have a hard time with staffing they will raise wages. It's called capitalism.

No, no. You stay home and have the place close. We don't need as many restaurants as we have.
I'd rather have few with good food and good pay, than so many with shitty food, service and workers. Because you keep going and keeping them alive, the workers suffer.

20% at a sit down restaurant, food delivery, or salon/spa service. 0 for take out. A few bucks at a coffee shop only if I’m sitting.

I used to aim to be a generous tipper and always gave 25%+. Now all these restaurants add a Covid fee, wellness fee, service fee, and still ask for tips. Even corner store by me that asks for tips for buying an overpriced six pack!
