If you can't afford to tip in the US then you can't afford to eat out.
This is a retarded way to think.

I can afford to eat out and pay a tip. I'm going out to eat food, not to eat food and pay someone's wage.
Just because I can afford to tip doesn't mean I should.

Fuck the US and its ass backwards systems.
Well, the only reason why they say you "should" is because if you don't, waiters are going to start tampering with your food the next time you decide to eat there. Whether or not it's actually true, people actually use that as a threat.

I mean, throwing a tantrum because someone couldn't be assed to give you their hard-earned money for a job you should be getting paid fairly for anyway isn't really the best way to get me on your side--in fact, it kinda makes me resent waiters for being so childishly self-entitled. Or at least, the ones who expect tips and the ones who get upset if they don't get tipped.

Then again, that may just be a myth. But just the idea of spitting in people's food over not receiving a tip? I can't think of a more petty, scumfuck thing to do. And if I found out about it, I'd sue the cunt into fucking submission. No sympathy.

It shouldn't be a thing, waiters should be paid fairly just like everybody else, and most of all, no one should be ostracized or punished or frowned upon for not acquiescing to it. Because ultimately, you chose to be a waiter.

Propagating the bullshit by saying stupid crap like "If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out" isn't helping anything or anyone. It's just a dumb thing to say.

Tbh servers are entitled shits. Kitchen staff makes minimum wage and servers complaining they didn't make 100 in a shift. If you have a job that not any 16 year old can do like bartending then maybe I'll tip without contempt. Waitresses disgustingly outearn their peers.

I always do 15 percent at least. I know how it feels to serve or host so it's pretty awful.  If they do badly, I give them like a dollar.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Don't need to, at least in the UK.

I have done in Turkey and Greece, but not a set percentage. I just add whatever I tjink at the time.
