People that refuse to tip are the worst

[BucciMane]

I can definitely understand tipping based on the level of service. But I’m not gonna go out my way not to tip either

Exactly. The level of service may make a difference. I always tip at least 20% (because I'm not a bytch), but if the service was terrible, I'd reconsider.

It's a choice to go out and eat. You know that servers rely on tips (whether you agree they should be paid more or not is irrelevant here), so tip when you go out. I've been fortunate to make a great living right now, but I've been busboy and server in a restaurant, so I'll always tip.

It's not, it's mandatory you pay to do that, not mandatory to tip

you tip to be generous, don't worry about what people do

I guess I’m just generous. If I know somebody is relying on tips becuz their base pay is shyt and they give me good service I’m showing appreciation

How do you feel about the places that include a mandatory gratuity?

They are essentially just paying their employee's more and raising prices to compensate. I have no problem with that, but it doesn't really solve the problem, just moves it to a different category. now they have to be competitive with pricing. because from my perspective its still not a tip, it's simply this places chicken plate costs $30 versus that places chicken plate is $18. Is the $30 plate that much better for me to pay more?

and that's good, all I'm saying is nothing you can say is gonna make people who don't tip change their hearts and want to tip so don't worry about it lmao

Tipping Is actually frowned upon in other countries. I don’t know why America still does it.

And also tipping was a way to make sure you got better service than the other customers. at people tipping a server more than 20% because they just did the bare minimum.

If everybody stopped tipping they would have to increase the base pay to retain their employee's. Your "generosity" is enabling their lack of generosity.

I tip and start at 18% depending on service, either it goes up or down. I don't tip when gratuity is added, for deliveries I do tip a few bucks or add in when paying by card.

This.

I know, but if people stopped participating it would be reality. This doesn't even need legislation, if everybody simply stops tipping restaurants would be forced to pay them more to keep them from quitting. Problem solved. continuing to tip just helps the scheme continue

It really depends on the company. I’m sure corporate for TGI Friday’s could afford that. On the other hand you got small companies out here who can’t operate like that. One of my parents friends opened a restaurant years ago. Small spot with only one location. If he was forced to pay a $15 minimum wage he prolly would have to cut half his staff. Or drastically raise the prices. Either one isn’t good for business

This I completely understand

Honestly bro sum of this is cap

if u work at restaurant and let’s say u work 20 hours a week and u made 500 off tips, likely 15-20% of that will be cash add that to the 2.15 u make on hourly wage your paychecks will be 0 dollars dam near

Some Restaurants even make u claim 5% over the bread that’s accounted for on tips jus because they kno employees get cash

They workin for they money jus like u

That’s really another debate altogether tho. Should they get higher wages so they don’t have to rely on tips? Sure. But that’s not the reality of the situation

That is the made up argument. Servers themselves do not want higher wages. Current wages + tips is higher than a standard wage. The facade of "we are poor and only make $2/hr" has been kept in place to continue tips. Servers take home more wages than somebody working the drive thru at Chick Fil A

A lot of you cheap muphukas better NOT be frequenting the same dining establishments more than once, because I promise you will be getting that special recipe on subsequent meals.

And deservedly so.

I could see a happy compromise for small business in this case.

Get new friends. He’s a freeloader and a broke boy. Just want to show how stupid he sounds. Imagine if he wasn’t a broke boy, and he went to a really expensive restaurant around other rich people or if he rented out a booth in a club and he tells everyone there he doesn’t tip nikkas gonna look at him like he’s stupid.

that's not reality though. and some places that eliminated tipping (Joe's Crab Shack, for one) got pushback from customers and had to change back. Americans are accustomed to having people have to either grovel or work them over before getting paid, and envisioned worse service if there was simply an hourly pay

point is, the culture is what it is, and we all understand it. so either make your own food and serve it to yourself, or pay people for their services.

i don't tip





Those are menial jobs, doesn't take a degree or PHD to drive a damn car or carry food from the kitchen to the front. Yo act as if these people are surgeons, CEOs & mathematicians. These jobs are jobs you do when you're a teen during summer break or weekends at college not a job you do for a freaking living when you pay rent and have kids. That's why they're minimum wage jobs, they require NO skills.

Idk everybody’s situation and I won’t pretend to. They have their reasons for working the job they do
