[@sarahmellinger3335]

[@sethbarash8671]

This already happens with extremely large corporations, like Walmart. They have the most employees on food stamps out of any company. That means that they are using public tax funds to subsidize the low pay they give their workers. Each year they take in billions of dollars in profits and still pay thier workers at rates that leave them below the poverty line and in need of public assistance. It is sort of like tipping except even non-customers are paying. Everyone is paying except Walmart

[@SlamDunc_an]

I saw that post too. It was insanity. Servers love to larp as broke when in reality if you're making 15-20% tips at even a mid level restaurant you're making VERY good money. I've always tipped 15-18% on every order and understand that they have tip out (usually minus 3-5% tips paid to the kitchen staff) but it's insane that machines now have the MINIMUM default set to 20% I also had a server friend tr and argue that inflation is why they need to raise the percentage...

The crazy thing too is that $200 now, in a HCOL city, is like...a pretty normal cost for a table of 4. It isn't some extravagant meal so expecting more than 20% is deranged.

@@SlamDunc_an yep im in college and have a few friends that wait tables and they make more off tips that than if they were paid a decent wage and no tips. They make $30-40/hr on decent days and much prefer being paid in tips than being paid $25/hr. This is also in a city where tips you receive don't count towards your salary.

[@eewweeppkk]

@@-Sai 99% of people that are expected to receive tips make way more than if they were paid a high wage. I'm surprised its only 30-40 dollars an hour on a decent day.

Tipping culture in the US seems insane. In South America we normally tip 10%, but that's because most waiters are already paid a living wage so we're not forced to leave large tips for them to be able to subsist.

@@dpetersz as far as i know the rationale is supposed to be that at fancier places with more expensive food the staff is also giving better service and the turnover time between guests is a lot higher, both reasons for the waitstaff to deserve and expect more $ per table. also pretty sure the tips are split with other staff members than just your server, and if youre ordering more food/bigger dishes then the busboys+cooks gotta work harder too. never worked food service myself though and i do think it would be much better if restaurants just, yknow, paid their staff a normal hourly rate. in the USA "tipped employees" can be legally paid a much lower minimum wage so if you're not tipping a respectable amount the staff is getting seriously fucked over

[@blahblorp9015]

i ordered shoes off a website and they gave me an option to tip. i couldnt believe it.

[@HeckYep]

I have mixed feelings on tipping. I do not work in the restaurant industry but I do work a job that automatically asks for tips at checkout. I make a fine hourly rate but the hours are low so tips make up a large amount of my paycheck. It's weird because I'm aware I'm very sociable and make a good first impression so it's incredibly beneficial for me, but I am an introvert when off the clock and feel for everyone who works a tip-reliant job while struggling to "turn on the charm" as it ends up becoming a huge factor in your pay. So I make sure to tip well to employees I see quietly working hard at the places I frequent. Edit: Also I always say "It's gonna ask you for a tip if you feel so inclined, no pressure." before they pay and then walk away for a second to go clean up so I'm not staring them down. Some people tip well, some people don't at all. It's not personal, in optional settings it's more a matter of financial comfort.

It's easy for me to say because I'm biased (some would even say based) since here in Brazil not only tipping is not mandatory but if you want to pay it's generally 10% (I've never seen a different percentage). But come on, the land of the free should've caught up on this scam already. Tipping should be something you give to reward a better than average service, because you have more money than you need or because you can't be bothered to wait for change or something. The burden of paying the employee's wages should be on the employer not on the customer.

@@Dmanacyde5 idk pretty standard here in Ontario where I live. Generally how it works is depending on where you work, the percentage of food sales tipped out varies restaurant to restaurant, but the server has to pay that money out of their pocket whether they received a tip or not.

It typically gets paid out depending on the day(s) of the week you worked, and then your total hours.

[@Username-jx2ij]

it's kind of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation in the US because your tips usually are the top contributor for the waiter being able to physically survive due to systematic reasons, so if you don't tip you're actively making someone's life significantly worse, and if you do tip, you are contributing to the problem on a societal level

@Username™ one or two people not tipping per shift isn't going to literally drive a person into homelessness or prevent them from eating their next meal, this reasoning feels like some kind of emotional manipulation and everyone knows that it logically makes no sense, but then you're the asshole if you point out that no, the waiter isn't going to starve because you didn't give them $5 for doing their job. Most waiters make VERY good money from tips, even at basic bitch chain restaurants, because none of it is taxed. Not saying you should never tip, but if you have an awful experience (such as not getting fucking cutlery for 5+ minutes after your food is already there, guaranteeing it's gonna be lukewarm at best when you finally get to eat it), then I wouldn't worry about tipping.

10:20 Rare -2 from the egg, it is not the financial responsibility of the customer to pay over and above the sticker price for anything, however it is the financial responsibility for employers to pay minimum wages (in accordance with local law). The logical mistake people make is by hating on customers when they don't tip, instead of hating on their employer when customers don't feel obligated to make an arbitrary extra payment that is just social conduct. The anger directed towards people who don't tip is better served pointed at lawmakers, employers. Don't throw shade on me because: 1. You chose to work in a profession that doesn't require you to earn a baseline living minimum wage 2. You weren't able to negotiate a better deal with your boss 3. Your boss doesn't pay you more 4. The law doesn't require it Notice how none of these reasons involve the customer at all? Yet people think it should be the customer's duty to compensate for this shit.

Do you, like, know what a solution is? Here's a little mote of wisdom. If there is a massive socioeconomic issue driven and perpetuated by individualized consumer charity and pro-tipping culture lobbyists, then there isn't an "easy solution" to it.

i used to get 5-20 bucks in tips a day ans still hear about the "some workers make 1,000 in tips" i have never even seen it once happen

[@bibsp3556]

As an aussie, screw tips all together. Its not on me to make up your wages, im here to buy my food. Not my issue. Bring it up with your boss. Also, giant corporations getting donations that they then get credit for giving to a charity and also writing it off as a tax deduction, when the money is given by customers. Gross

[@eewweeppkk]

I'm a little tired of the "living wage" argument about servers and tipping. Anybody who has ever worked in the restaurant industry would 1000000% rather be in a position where they get paid $5 and hour plus tip than they would $15 an hour. Slightly location dependent, but I think it holds true way more often than not. If you wait 3 tables in an hour and they tip 10 bucks each, you've made more than 30 dollars an hour for unskilled labor. I'm not saying tipping is good or bad or anything, but can we stop pretending that if somebody doesn't tip the bartender bringing home $200 a day on a bad day is going to starve? Especially considering that in the basically impossible scenario that a server doesn't make up the difference between minimum wage and tips, they get paid minimum wage anyway?

[@SemiIocon]

I'mma say, the abysmal service he described is pretty normal around here. But I guess that's also the reason you only tip about 5 % on average here, lol.

[@MrPikawika4444]

I can assure you, most waiters get paid a living wage.

[@AngelJimenez-cs4yq]

The final step of boomerfication is somehow taking a decent opinion and making it sound just so slightly whiny/offensive Also most servers know when they give bad service so I tend not to get to upset at a low tip as long as you’re covering the tip out. A 10% tip feels sad, but paying $3 to serve someone feels BAD P.S Don’t come at me with the bad tipper arguments. After 10 years I advocate for $13/hour minimum tipped wages. I mainly expect a tip due to the level of customer service expectations we’ve created in the states

[@kbaptiste28]

Ah yes, the expectation of shitty service.

[@renegadeprism42]

What expectations? Doing your job? A simple example is, are airhostesses not doing pretty much the same job, albeit at a more difficult level, and do we ever tip them? But in that case, it's not a problem because they are paid well, so if the restaurants just provide a sustainable wage, tipping should phase out

[@AngelJimenez-cs4yq]

@@renegadeprism42 if you look at what customers/employers in europe expect from a server vs the United States and call those equal then you’re kinda delusional lol there’s a much higher standard of service here I mostly agree with your point about wages, but it’s like NL said, people aren’t willing to put in the work. Everyone running a restaurant now should have their assets seized for the years of exploitation and then going forward all restaurants have to pay a fair living wage. But no way am I trusting a mf who was happy paying humans $2/hour to work to treat employees fairly after a 1600% wage increase. Restaurant and bar owners are scumbags

[@jeriji6592]

expectations? service in the US is a joke compared to Japan. where they don't tip, because people get paid enough to live. and they have pride in their work because people are treated like humans and all work is seen as worthwhile.

[@eewweeppkk]

@@AngelJimenez-cs4yq I agreed up until the the second paragraph. The only person 'losing' money in the scenario is the customer, and as you have stated twice now the tradeoff is measurably better customer service. Owners get to keep the price of meals down, servers get paid WAY MORE than they would ever reasonably be able to be paid in wages, and the customer isn't required to foot the bill for it anyway, technically. Serving positions are HIGHLY coveted in the industry. There is simply no incentive to increase the wages because people already fight for the positions. To say a business owner is evil for not following obvious supply and demand on the wage front is ridiculous. You aren't a better person for hiking your menu prices and demanding customers don't tip, the customers are still paying more and the servers are still making less than with tips 90% of the time. I'm not saying that tipping is good or bad, but to say that a business owner is evil for offering a position where an unskilled laborer can pull $200 a day on a bad day is an insane take.

[@AENock]

There's no social pressure in his case. You're free to consume and interact as you please. The greater issue at hand is you're being asked for tips for nearly every transaction to "support the workers" when that should be the onus of the employer. It's manipulating the customer using the employee's welfare as hostages to widen profit margins.

[@tinaedwards4873]

@@AENock You've never owned a business in the service industry and it shows. People that grow up with silver spoons with wikipedia degrees always say "Just pay them a reasonable wage." And it just can't work like that. The margins are incredibly small and the vast majority of guests WANT to tip if they had excellent service. Nobody will go to a restaurant where you don't tip but have to pay $19 for a 4-1 burger. They've tried and failed. The side nobody ever seems to mention is if you're down on your luck, you can always pick up a bartending/service gig somewhere to get back on your feet. It's an entry level job where you can make a good living without swimming in student debt or breaking your back. Countries that don't have a tip culture consider service jobs as the bottom of the career totem pole.

@@tinaedwards4873 if you can't pay your employees a livable wage then be honest about how unsustainable it is and go out of business. Plenty of other countries can manage it without crumbling.
