Has Tipping Culture In Our Country Come To A Tipping Point?

[@SPENCERMULLEN]

If I'm standing up when I order. Tipping doesn't happen. Sit down restaurants or when someone is serving me and doing all the work over and above just putting something in a bag, 100% I tip fairly well. But not if someone just rings up my order while I'm standing there.

[@jet4653]

Same! Or a drive thru, they are bagging my stuff and buttering my bagel big deal

[@Rupert-le4hh]

agreed , counter works make at least minimum wage , not waiter wages

[@ashbashas]

Carry out does not need to be. Every job has to make and pack things up. Groceries are nonstop

[@jet4653]

I don’t tip with take out or going through a drive thru. They are getting paid to do this and they aren’t really waiting on me. I do worry that they’ll spit in my food if I don’t tip sometimes which sucks

Can't believe when I go to fast food places some of them ask me if I want to leave a tip. I remember 20+ years ago working in McDonalds on Holidays and occasionally on Holidays the people who came by would try to leave a tip because it was a holiday. (This only happened on Holidays) The owners would simply confiscate that money for themselves. Trying to keep the tip INTENDED FOR THE EMPLOYEES would have gotten you fired.

[@clement2780]

at what point will customers get so fed up that we will stop going out?

[@robbiecarter8773]

As an Aussie I found it hard to remember to tip And hearing some of your wages was shocking and eye opening

[@cindymcghie2461]

Being Australian this would freak me out as we don't do it everywhere. Some food places have tipping jars.

[@justwenday]

I have tipped on holidays, especially if the place is crowded.

Fun fact: tipping culture is a legacy of slavery. I personally use tipping selfishly as a way to cultivate good karma lol i tip my checkout people at the grocery store, whenever i get coffee outside, everyone. I especially tip my delivery people $8-10 each time i get delivery even if they only bring my food a few blocks. I just feel so blessed to not have to work those jobs and those wages anymore and i know if im ever in that position again i would be eternally grateful for every cent.

[@gregmadison556]

Most waiters and waitresses make less than minimum wage rely on tips If they were to pay them properly you're meal will cost 25% more.

[@pieri3113]

Tip in the screen? That money goes to the owners and they decide how much or if they give tip at all to their staff. I can tell for personal experience, we do not keep a record of all the “tip in our shift” and the owner give you , if any ,once a month or so.

[@T-CainesZR1]

I pay cash. That way I can dictate a tip or no tip.

[@tatqueen2622]

I'm not tipping for carry out. That is their job. It would be like tipping McDonald's that packages your food. I will only tip at a sit-down restaurant, and I do not go by percentage. Most states pay minimum wage. There are only a few states that pay $2/hr, and those employees prefer it because they make more from us! I live in a state that pays minimum wage. I do not feel the need to tip like some do. People who tell people not to eat out if they can not afford to tip 25% or more are the problem, in my opinion. I don't tell others what to do, so don't tell me. No one's going to listen to that. I will tip for exceptional customer service and only if it is good service! I don't care if they like me or not, lol.......... if I want a higher pay, we fight for a fair wage, and they can do the same....

[@woodser]

So I go to the Braves game I go into a beer cave. I grab my own beer I go to self checkout that’s the only option. There is an option to tip. Who I am I’m tipping? No one helped me

[@Michelle-oj2yq]

Not from usa but visit ny and vegas. The tipping is mental starbucks where they hand you a drink tip. Buffets years ago they would take your money and show you to a table and expect a tip. It's madness Tip restaurants tip taxis porters etc but for handing you a paper cup or takeout no I'm not tipping

[@KatlinJohnson]

I think a tip is for when you go above and beyond. If your doing the bare minimum or doing your basic duties then you don't get a tip. If you don't get paid enough then go work somewhere else and stop working for these sleazy companies who won't pay their employees a decent wage

[@soulwinner247]

I don’t care what anyone says If you go to a restaurant you TIP PERIOD Don’t be an a-hole and a cheapskate!

[@anthonyb6578]

If I am sitting down and being served I will. If I’m just picking up they are just getting a buck or two

[@clement2780]

and amount?

[@clement2780]

only in usa is 15-20% normal, 12% uk, 5-10% regular europe

[@robbiecarter8773]

And if there's exceptional service in a restaurant..in Australia

[@clement2780]

i think clothing sales person fine

[@clement2780]

rude in asia

[@clement2780]

[@clement2780]

how poor will consumers become? is it harder to carry a lobster than a grilled cheese?
