[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You still need to tip everyone everywhere[/quote]

No you don’t. If servers are making $15/hour or whatever I am not tipping 20%[/quote]

So you bike to spout that you believe in  a living wage but really you mostly like to make sure people know their place in life?

Of course, what the server is making is the only reason restaurants are charging you $35 for salad on a fancy plate you could make at home for $3.

Can’t be bothered to respect the people who are working to make your dining experience great? Eat at home. [/quote]

This is the whole problem with the tipping culture. It’s not about respect and status in life. It’s about transparency and fairness to everyone including the customer. I want all restaurant staff to be paid fairly and I want to pay a fair price for my food and experience. I don’t understand why we have to muddy everything with Lady Bountiful-style handouts after the meal - which obviously costs much more than it would cost me to make, and that’s exactly what I’m paying for.
