If you’re in the US you need to tip. In my state server/ bartender wage in $2.13. Despite how you feel, the restaurants that do a “living wage”, the price is reflected in the food and drinks. A proper tip is 20% of your bill.
If you don’t tip, don’t go out to eat.
Servers and bartenders have families that need to eat.
Before y’all start in, do some research. Tipping started after the crash in the 20’s. Owners didn’t have the money to pay servers but the people that went out to eat could obviously afford to tip. It just hasn’t changed.
As far as delivery driving, in my area, they make about $5 an hour and also do dishes.
You’re supposed to tip, y’all. Get it together. Or just stay the fuck home. Thanks!

I think people should stop tipping so we don't live in a shit country that makes the customers pay for the employees salaries.
I do tip but always don't want to as it's a shitty system in the US.

Tipping is just pathetic though. You're complaining you're not earning enough and then instead of getting angry at your boss for not paying you even a barely adequate wage, you're pressuring strangers into giving you charity, and then getting pissed off at them for not doing so. Meanwhile your boss is saving a fortune and just laughing at you.
And the only way this can change is if people stop tipping altogether. That will force your boss to start paying you at least minimum wage because the corporations will no longer be able to claim that waiters are making enough money off tips. But people will never stop tipping because they're being pressured into it by the waiters themselves. The more you pressure people into tipping, the worse it'll be for waiters like you in the end.

My understanding is that it's only in the USA where service-staff must rely on tips in order to make a living wage.
People in the service sector in the UK obviously appreciate tips, but they have to be paid at least the minimum wage (whether that's set at a fair level is another question). Over the last couple of years, there have been stories in the media about the management of high-profile restaurants - including some celebrity chefs - who were discovered to have been keeping back some or all of the tips collected by their workers, and they came in for some serious shit in the media.
I lived in Italy for a few years, so I also know that service staff there don't expect to be tipped more than a token sum.
Tipping in the USA is yet another con perpetrated against consumers and working people. The "tipped wage" concept only exists because of the political power of business owners and due to the willingness of most Americans to accept the status quo as the being best possible way to do things, simply because that's the way it's been done for a long time.

Yeah I dont tip on anything less than 20$. Now if it was a service like haircuts I put in an extra 5$ for a tip. Massages I'll do a 15% tip. Overall I tip very low percentages tip wise like 5-10% for food.

That’s terrible. I bet you say really nice things to your bartender or server and crack jokes that they have to fake laughing at. You probably ask for ever sauce available one at a time and pretend that you’re the only person that matters. 5% ? Stay the fuck home. Clean your own dishes.

Oh I dont speak to my sever for idle chat. Nor the bartender. I'm there for food and to chat with my GF. I'm not exactly eating at world renowned restaurants.

It literally doesn’t matter what type of restaurant it is. I’m so disappointed in IIN users. Just stick to eating fast food please.

That’s cool. Most of us can tell the non-tippers. I hope your drinks are slow and your food is cold! 😘
There’s plenty of people who aren’t ignorant like yourself that will make up for it. Cheers!

Never liked tipping. So I applaud you. It's like, why not just include it in the price of the item?! And then I can choose whether it's worth my bucks or not, along with the service, etc.

Who gives a damn, especially if you're not in the US. Going against social norms, it's all about your personal level of confidence whether you can pull off the 'asshole' character without feeling bad about it.

That's normal. I can't stand the idea of tipping. It's just a way for the managers to get away without paying their own staff, they expect us to pay for them.

By not tipping in the us, you are allowing the underpaid worker to continue being ripped off by their cheapskate manager... always tip when the server earns it.

No, it's because everyone continues to tip that this underpaying of staff can continue. If everyone decided to stop tipping, then the entire country's waiter staff would have to go on strike, which would lead to legislation forcing managers to actually pay them a full wage.

Thats how it should happen, but somehow I feel that the small business owners will spin it and cry "Serving staff ruined the restaurant industry".

Maybe but I don't think they'd fool many people with that. Most people know someone who's a waiter or bartender and would feel sorry for them how they rely on tips to live, and how they have no guaranteed financial security from their job. Plus other countries' restaurant industries aren't ruined so the strikes can also point to that.

That's just it. People need jobs and some managers suck and pay well below minimum wage, but if the service is good, you have to tip. I know it's not customary throughout the world, but is here.

oh my god please tip. if you have enough money to eat at a restaurant you have enough money to tip. many people's income completely depends on tips. the reason waiters are allowed to be paid minimum wage is because of tips and it's really fucked up. if you don't wanna tip, don't eat at a restaurant or coffee shop. also part of what you are paying for is the service. so unless you tip, you didn't "pay for what you paid for"

The fact that so many people here are like "tip or people will shit in your food" shows everything thats wrong with tipping. People should be doing a good job at the work they do because they are getting paid from their boss. I don't improperly fix my clients computers or give them viruses when they don't pay me extra. My boss already pays me, I don't expect gifts and my good service is always the same. I haven't seen a single good reason for tipping here. I posted just to see if that's changed now that I'm older, it hasn't.

That's good. I do tip but in the US we're the only country that is required to tip because the employers don't pay the workers enough and they include the tips in their salaries. Yep. It's bad here. Hoping they change that someday.
