I always do it.

You do a good job, you get a tip.

You do a bad job, you fuck off.

If you really can't afford to toss your waiter a five spot, why are you dining out?

Always leave a 15% tip....even if the waiter sucks

You do a good job, you get a tip 5-10%

You do a bad job Nope

I tip when somebody deserves a tip. When somebody really puts forth an effort, they deserve a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, that shit's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job. Working at McDonald's is a tough job, but you don't feel the need to tip them. They're serving you food, you should tip them. But no, society says tip these guys over here, but not those guys over there. That's bullshit.

It's dumb, and I only do it begrudgingly.

wages should be high enough that tipping is unnecessary

Coco · November 10, 2015, 09:11:43 PM

It's a shit system, but not agreeing with it doesn't change the fact that those people are making like $3/hr without it.

Korra · November 10, 2015, 09:28:54 PM

Tipping shouldn't be an obligation, it should be a reward for good service.

Not tipping your server won't change that unfortunately, the restaurant got their money either way.
Not sure of a way to get restaurants to change this practice.

Eating food.

If you really can't bother to include the servers cut of the money on the check, why are you bitching when people leave nothing extra?

Go make your own food, jew.

Solonoid · November 10, 2015, 10:20:17 PM

I do it out of respect for how shitty their wage is.

But I yearn for the day when tipping will no longer be a part of our culture.

rC · November 10, 2015, 10:21:18 PM

i tip 20% everywhere except steak n shake. they get no tip and a coupon.

That's not true at all. If everyone stopped putting up with this obligatory tipping thing, the servers would get shit wages and inevitably quit in favor of a job that pays well. The restaurant would then either adapt or die.

But that's not going to happen, so I'll just keep on paying the bill and nothing else extra all by my lonesome.

The Hån · November 10, 2015, 10:28:09 PM

5-10 dollars depending on how cool you are.

Dopameme · November 10, 2015, 10:28:11 PM

anyway, businesses can get away with this because it lowers their labor costs, which in turn allows them to lower the price of their food, creating more overall revenue. it sucks and i really do hate how a server's wage is dependent on such unpredictable factors but, until we make something change, i don't see it happening. it's too ingrained into our culture.

I'm just thankful I don't have to worry about it, it sounds annoying

Risay117 · November 10, 2015, 11:30:41 PM

Always 10%. If bill low enough but I liked the service I will give a dollar amount. If big then 20%

ಠ_ಠ · November 10, 2015, 11:41:48 PM

I think it's absolutely retarded that servers don't get paid normal wages. That being said, if I don't tip it's not because of that. Seeing as I'm not swimming in cash, when I don't tip at all it's usually because I can't afford to.

Coomer · November 10, 2015, 11:42:51 PM

Dude I'm just happy to be eating out

Coomer · November 10, 2015, 11:44:24 PM

Also
It's not the money that bothers me
I'm sure everyone can afford to tip

But making us pay their waiters is a p shitty thing to do
The principle doesn't rest right with me

Why? They get an unfair amount of money if you don't tip them.

You mean you don't like the idea of tipping, as in make wages higher?
