The History Of Tipping

[@valleytechpaul]

It's time for Americans to start a no tip movement! NO MORE TIPPING!

[@trancenorton2388]

Come to New Zealand. A no tipping country

[@vporta3151]

Italy, no tipping!!

[@streetfamdjs]

Why the food so high if they don't have to pay workers?

[@nickhayley]

Huge profits

Big surprise: capitalism encourages greed and price gouging. We need more federal oversight.

if you depend on wages or tips you are not a profession

[@ativvafoxx5617]

Im tired of paying someone elses salary when I go out and someone else peofits from it tf is this

[@AngusAngus]

what a selfish way of ignoring the fact that these people don't even get a living wage. Let's fight for living wages for these millions of service industry folk - because they need someone in their corner.

[@ativvafoxx5617]

@@AngusAngus I think you are misunderstanding me. It more sounds like we are on the same side, just for different reasons. If that makes sense.

[@baoh29able]

​@@ativvafoxx5617 I hear you. The point is that the customers aren't hiring the waiters, aren't employing them, business owners are. Business owners profit by simply avoiding paying employees, but the customers take the blame if they dont tip. Tf indeed.

[@ativvafoxx5617]

@@baoh29able ^ Yea not sure why people take jobs like this tbh

[@trancenorton2388]

So we are paying for our food and also paying for the waitresses wages on top.. ... 💀 I bet the owners are wealthy

[@Staggerd1337]

lets talk about the massive difference in tipping between males and females, oh wait they never wanna talk about that as women.

[@edwinosorio2679]

Don’t complain to us about tipping, complain to your employer to pay you more an hr that’s not us the customers fault for that

[@Navalick]

Is there any alternative for this job? This is really disincentive. How come there is no any adjustment for this kind of job? From $150.81 to $9.28 sounds outrageous for me. Basically the government makes her performing job for free. The solution is not giving more tip but revising this horrible deductions.

[@rolandkennedy80]

No server cares abt their paycheck. This video is dumb af. Read my comment I posted

[@rawdogruben]

How about getting rid of tipping and just paying them more cheap owners lover cheap labor

[@joelkoffi2806]

well said

[@xdinteractive]

@@rawdogruben they are there to work for you, how about you pay your worker. You are advocating them to go from 20-30 bucks an hour average throughout the week to minimum wage. You go live on 7.25 an hour then come talk about it. Those non tipping countries pay them minimum wage.

[@rawdogruben]

@@xdinteractive I saw no future in the restaurant industry as a worker that’s why I left it. Literally making 300$ every two weeks less then 40 hours no benefits.

[@victorfinamore7837]

I go out to buy food not pay wages - that's what the employer is supposed to do.. , .. plenty of places offer $16.00 - 20.00 to serve food. in 2022.. I don't support slave labor or slave related services.

[@nickhayley]

In Australia, tipping is not customary. But having tried my hand as a food courier, the amount of effort to do that for whst is paid is insane. Our mimmim wage her is just over $21 per hour for an adult. On some days after taking out the cost to run and maintain my vehicle, I barely made 6$ an hr. Australia is an expensive place to live and that is NOWHERE near enough to live on. Thankfully I was using it as a little income hustle. But I was doing more hustling than I was earning any more income. For many, this is their whole source of income. In Australia, we should be tipping. Especially in the rich cities lik3 Sydney and melbourne where rent and cost of living is astronomical. If you're rich enough to have someone make you food and wash your plates, you need to pay for it as a tip. It has definitely changed the way I view the people who work in hospitality.

[@AngusAngus]

if that's how you feel, let's join the fight for minimum wage FOR ALL.

[@drakkar_night3346]

What you get in life is what you tolerate. Quit your job and get a new one.

[@boobyhill6921]

NOT MY PROBLEM. PEOPLE NEED TO STOP TIPPING.

[@indiiiglow3525]

if you’re broke just say that

[@victorfinamore7837]

You were paid $9.28 - How much in CASH did you take home that Was not paid into Social Security ?? Why not go out and get a job at $16.00 hour X 40 hours = $640.00 a week or $33,280.00 a year guaranteed income. Because it's the lure and greed for cash in your pocket that's enticing. but don't cry later when you there's not enough money in Social Security .. because you never paid into it. Time for Change .

[@AngusAngus]

I can't believe they didn't all already think of this!!! 😂 (clearly you didn't)

[@JosephStaloch]

Lift the cap on SS tax then as well

[@beezer370]

My neighbor told me that his favorite part of tipping is that it helps keep people down.

[@dlee49210jazz]

What an ass!

[@clement2780]

how about abolishing tips and raising listed prices to include both taxes and wages

[@phillipstroll7385]

All restaurants would go out of business. They barely make profit as it is.

[@vporta3151]

@@phillipstroll7385BS they’ll go out of business. I know plenty of owners where I live and other parts of the states that are making a killing! Huge houses, fancy cars, more than one restaurant. God bless them. They’ll never give it up because it benefits both of them the owner and the waiter. The owners make a huge profit on a meal. The waiter is like a subcontractor, paying for nothing but making a percentage on top of the meal you paid for! It’s a scam. Restaurant owners should pay the minimum wage or more depending on the restaurant if it’s high end.owners love the huge profit and waiters love the quick cash for doing nothing but bringing you your food.

[@Teisharocz]

That's disgusting!

[@h.nguyen4193]

This is why financial literacy is critical. People think that their job pays X amount, so they'll get X amount. No, when you apply for a job you must put into account the tax mans cut state/federal, health-insurance etc. Parents these days teach their kids with the mentality of "you keep what you make". No, Freedom isn't free. Where do you think the money comes from when we ship Billions of dollars of weapons into the middle-east. Please live in reality and find a better job that will allow you to live the way you want to live. Once people do that the restaurant industry will wise up and pay their employees a living wage.

[@USA50_]

I do not see why anyone would take a job if it's that bad. It's never a good idea to work for tips, bonuses or commission. ... Too much space available for business take advantage of American citizens. May G-d Bless America and keep our people whole - Amen.

[@rawdogruben]

It sucks thats why I quit never looked back

[@user-TonyUK]

Here in the UK there is a minimum wage set by the Govt, every April at the start of the Tax Year. For someone age 17 it is £6.50 per Hour for an 18 yr old it is £6.75 Over 18s get from £7.50 up to £15 £1 = $1.20

[@didhedied2515]

it’s your governments fault not the consumer’s, you need new laws, raise minimum wage.it’s not up to strangers to pay your bills.

[@fredkelly6953]

Tipping - what a peculiar institution.

[@violeteyes5255]

She didn't mention her bar tab.

[@guaguatengteng]

well no tipping means higher prices on each dish you order. you still end up paying for service, in the form of a fixed higher price, probably a 20% increase. or did you think restaurant owners are just gonna carve out 20% from their revenue/profit and use that to pay the servers? in your day dream maybe. except now servers arent incentivized to please you in hopes to earn s higher tip, and restaurant owners can cheap out and hire less servers that it end up costing less than 20% than what was budgeted. also, look at it this way. there are restaurants in the us that are required by law to pay $16 as minimum base pay, California. whats the result? much high food prices, restaurant workers there do earn a lot more, whats the result? much higher cost of living. just overall inflated everything.

[@guaguatengteng]

this video is extremely misleading. you got $9 because all of your tips' tax were deducted from the $2.13/hour base pay, the tips you took home everyday is also what you got paid that you didnt mention here on the video, those tips are still tax liable. the fact that you still have $9 something means your tips weren't high enough that the 2.13 an hour was enough to cover your taxes. there are people who still owe taxes because their tip income is so high, tax on the tips is higher than 2.13/hour. so, work harder, earn more tips, get a negative pay check, and be happy.

[@evelynesser9246]

& what year was that when u got $9.28 ?

[@starkfish79]

Looking at timestamp 0:20 the date on the paycheck was 01/24/2020.

[@xdinteractive]

Funny how 1 you ignore the fact that if you don't make enough tips to cover minimum wage the employer must bump your pay to match minimum wage. 2 youa re working for the customer not the restaurant. 3 and most importantly, ifyou told most tip workers ok no more tips you get 20 an hour they would revolt because they make way more than that.

[@AngusAngus]

1. and 3. are diametrically opposed 2. minimum wage is federally (and here in Texas) $7.25 an hour aka a slap in the face for someone with a rent check. 3. I do IT Help Desk from home so therefore I am also "working for the customer" but funny how I get paid from someone who has known and trusted me for over two years rather than somebody in a bad mood who decided they didn't feel like paying for their table service.

[@xdinteractive]

@@AngusAngusno they are not opposed they are both facts. Facts cant be in opposition you all act like tip workers only make the 2.13 an hour and nothing more, if that was the case they wouldn't show up for work.

[@AngusAngus]

@@xdinteractive you would be surprised to hear just how many service industry workers are homeless, living in their cars, living on a friend's couch. The greatest consolidation of wealth is happening now in America while the cost of a home and rent are getting more and more unrealistic.

[@xdinteractive]

@@AngusAngus sound like another big city crybaby, you put 75% of the population in little 10 square mile areas of course rent is going to be high there, there is a thing called limited supply, out here in the sticks its still cheap.

[@AngusAngus]

@@xdinteractive you know the whole world is urbanizing and jobs are disappearing in small towns. Being a crybaby for those who are being left behind is absolutely the thing to do; the companies and politicians certainly proved they don't care about them and My father had debilitating brain cancer and my mom's father had an aneurysm that took him from being a CIA agent with 10 languages fluent to needing government assistance. Be glad your family didn't have any life-changing situations but these things were neither of their faults and government literally exists to help those in danger of losing their housing etc.

It has nothing to do with racism. So stop stop

[@josklaa7160]

Tips are a requirement to insure prompt service, I don't dine in restaurants that do not allow me to qualify the quality of service that I have received by choosing what my server is tipped.

[@JofusSibey]

No one said you can't choose to tip whatever you choose on top of your bill... they're simply fighting for a wage that makes it so that the employee isn't dependent on your judgement about whether they can feed their family or not. Is this really that controversial?

[@The1stClassVillain]

Well if this is what you are going through, than go find a different job. Why would you stay there?

[@humanbean1424]

Doesnt matter. The fact that an institution like this that exist, needs to he dealt with.

@@humanbean1424 You need to be dealt with. Get lost.

[@ThinnkTwicce]

Because the hours are beneficial to people like students. I could flip this on you and say if you don’t want to tip, then go go eat somewhere else

[@The1stClassVillain]

@@ThinnkTwicce No definitely not and with that attitude and mentality, you definitely wouldn’t get a tip from me. You are not entitled to my money. I give if I want to. Your employer makes millions of dollars a year. That’s the people who employed you. You should be getting that from them. It’s not the customer job to supplement what they are not giving you nor is it my problem. Whether you are a student or not, you still made the choice to work there. The whole tipping situation in this country need to stop completely and should be illegal. Anybody who work in a restaurant should get a fair wage and that’s it. If the restaurant can’t afford to pay its employees a fair wage then they shouldn’t be in business.

[@AngusAngus]

​@@The1stClassVillainyou sound super selfish and borderline sociopath. On the one hand, they need to be paid properly. On the other hand, you don't know or care about them and they will or won't be able to make rent on your whim. Wow. I hope nobody ever has to live with you.

[@MyMichelleBelle9707]

Solution, most states pay a minimum wage base pay of $7.25 now or higher, and let's disregard all demand for tips. Restaurant work is not skilled labor. It's an entry level, unskilled job. Problem solved.

Have they heard of construction cause happens quite a bit in that profession just quit complaining please also half your history is just completely biased and false and most people use to tip very well if you did a good job which is hard with hard customers but not if they are respectable

[@theanimaster]

I’m a nice customer but with high standards.. so I hardly tip. It truly is slavery. Only America does it - other countries pay their workers enough to get on by. But what would expect from a capitalist society? Pay your workers the minimum so you can earn more. It’s hard to believe these people believe in their own religion…

[@rolandkennedy80]

No server ever cares abt their paycheck. If you are their for the paycheck you are doing it completely wrong. I work sometimes off the clock bc it doesn't matter. Granted I live and work in las vegas. But I never once couldn't wait to get my paycheck.

[@mikeoconnor5679]

This makes me so mad . If you don't want to live off tips don't work at a restaurant. I make more off tips than anything else I could do these entitled little brats need to get over themselves . I for one wouldn't want a server that wasn't relying on my tip I want someone that knows they have to earn their money

[@joshperry3494]

So quit your job and get a real job in a real competitive trade with real men. Don’t blame me because you don’t get paid. I’m not tipping
