This is exactly me. I still tip you all. Even if the food sucked, I'm doing what I can to leave a tip.
I'd add a caveat for bad service, but honestly, I don't think I've met a server yet that deserved to not be tipped (aka, paid fairly for their service).
If you suck at your job, you won't have it very long. Server or not. Let's let the system work the way it does for everyone else. Ban below minimum wage wages for servers.
Once that happens, I can happily never tip again.
Love you!! You are my perfect customer! But I agree, I always tip 10% and 20% for great service! I always tip even on take out since hosts have to ensure orders and box it up accordingly. But seriously, I agree, I live in MN so us servers are lucky but still, the tipping culture is out of control! You tip for take out and dine in… I shouldn’t have to tip a person during a fast food order which EVERYTHING IS ALREADY FUCKING COOKED! You ain’t doing shit but warming up that shitty food (I don’t eat). Why would anyone fucking tip?! American tipping culture is going to shit since no one is getting paid the wages entitled..
America is trash and can’t even get to 250 years while other countries have 1000s under their belts! It’s fucking embarrassing!
Fast food workers generally get minimum wage at least, so tipping shouldn't be required or expected there. It's mostly servers at restaurants as far as I know.
When I know that the workers are paid less than minimum, I'm pretty much always tipping unless you're grossly negligent or you are actively mean. You can have a bad disposition, that's fine. Everyone has bad days, I'll still tip as long as you're not directing your unhappiness at me. I just got here, I'm not the thing you're mad at, so please don't treat me like I am.
If tipping goes away tomorrow, I'll be happy. Not just for my pocket book and the pain and frustration I feel staring at menus trying to up all the prices by 15-20% so I know what I'll actually be paying, but for the workers actually making a decent wage.
We also need to address minimum wage issues, but that's another matter entirely and affects a much larger group of people.
I agree, in MN we get paid pretty well as servers but agree some restaurants do this MOSTLY CHAINS, I am in a mom and pop and they haven’t raised prices in 2 years even after the fiasco of egg prices going crazy and then Drumpf saying he’ll bring him down which never happened. We never raise our prices… so people should also make that realization.
But thank you for understanding the fucked up system of tipping, I quit my teaching job because I make almost 3X as much with 1/2 the hours and that’s sickening! And then you have the servers complaining about how other people have better tips, it’s so much drama!
But I thank you for tipping honestly, a lot of people do not understand the importance of take out or serving in a restaurant and if they don’t get it… they need to watch the moving “Waiting”. Not saying I would do anything in that moving but others def will… so basically, don’t fuck with the people who serve you food…
