[quote=Anonymous]If someone is making a tipped wage (waiter, workers in salons and nail places, many delivery people) I'm going to tip 20% or more. Otherwise I view it as at my discretion entirely and the idea that it's compulsory is BS.

The weird thing to me about "but what about Covid, it's been so hard for the industry" is that COVID HAS BEEN HARD FOR MANY PEOPLE. Like I got furloughed for months during Covid and had no income for a time. We had to pay for childcare we were not expecting because of school closures and ate through our entire emergency fund and had to borrow money from family for it. Just because I don't work in the hospitality industry does not mean that I am wealthy and can suddenly start tipping 30% everywhere I go, on top of price increases due to inflation. The assumption that waiters and delivery people and the people working the counter at a yogurt place are in more dire financial circumstances than me is dubious at best. It's not like restaurant workers are the only people having a hard time paying their bills these days.[/quote]
