It won't change until people stop tipping. You have it backwards. Let people do what they feel is right and stop judging.
Oh awesome. So we stiff workers until you get your way. that makes complete sense!

I don't appreciate the virtue signaling of someone who comes on DCUM to deplore his friend's decision not to tip. You can add a little extra if you feel so strongly that the server deserved more... but I suspect you didn't, because the server was an ordinary server who did an ordinary job.
I tend to tip generously, but that's because I restrict myself to all my favorite places right now, where I like the people and want to keep them in business. I would not necessarily tip so well in other circumstances, and I've refused to tip on occasions when the service was bad.
Stop judging other people like this. It's not a good look. There are plenty of terrible wrongs in this world on which you can exercise your ire. This is not one of them.

It's not your place to judge anyone other than YOU.

Oh yay! ANOTHER tipping thread. As we so rarely discuss that here. Fascinating.

Tipping as a practice puts the economic risk of running a business onto the workers and lets the owners run the business for far less and profit more than the would otherwise. Don't say that the restaurants would close - that's a restaurant owner talking point.
In Australia, for example, restaurant staff are paid fairly, tipping is not used and restaurants still exist.
Exactly. The USA is socially backward, and this is why tipping is so prevalent. Civilized countries don't have this tipping culture.

That is embarrassing. Some people are secretly trash on the inside. They’ll have a long winded explanation as to why their in the right tho. Ugh. Sorry you had to learn that.
I generally tip 20%. My income is very modest but I include the concept of tip when choosing to eat out. If it’s a small bill sometimes I tip more because it feels weird to pay a dollar or two if I’ve been receiving service for awhile (like breakfast or smaller lunch order).

My question is basically how many of you tip or tip something but not 20% or more?
The standard tip is now %20 but it's still just a guideline some people tip between 15-25. I always tip at eat in restaurants where we have a waitress and it's at least 20, but I will round up so it's a whole dollar.

When eat in, no tip is wrong. If you lost respect because someone tip less than your standard, then you are wrong.

A lot of places seem to have the service charge included in your bill. Then I don't tip.
