Tipping Is Out Of Control.

Tipping culture in America is officially out of control. If you haven't noticed, more and more stores are requesting tips at the end of a sale. The phenomenon has been labeled "tip creeping."

I went into a snooty coffee shop to buy a bottle of water on a hot day - the water bottles were in a cooler facing the customer, so I took one and offered the clerk a $5 bill. He informed me that their store was cashless and spun the iPad for me to use my credit card (or phone). The tip screen went up to 30% and I had to go through 3 sub-screens to select no tip. As I was doing this I could sense the clerk's attention - the guy who never touched the bottle of water. So I muttered, "It was self-service, so if anyone gets a tip, it should be myself!"

I had an encounter at a cashless restaurant a few weeks back because they were scared of CovAIDS infected dollars. I only pay for things in cash so I didn't have any credit cards. The bill was $15, and I offered the waiter $100 bill and to keep the change. Without delay he flat out rejected the money as if he was sure to catch The CovAIDS from it. A few mins passed, and had the audacity to come back to the table and tell me this would come out of his paycheck. I gave him one last opportunity to take the $100 and still turned it down. Who turns down an $85 / 475% tip?!?!? BTW, I left $20 on the table and walked out as they were calling the cops.

When I went to the US I was young, skint on a very tight budget but tried my best. However there was one moment which took the piss. My wife got a tea (or English breakfast tea as you call it) from take-away coffee shop. The young girl behind the counter snatched a paper cup, filled it with hot water, plonked it on the counter and dropped a tea bag in. She snatched the $10 my wife was holding out, opened the till, got the $5.50 something change and dropped it straight in to her tip jar. I begrudge paying a tip for 10 seconds work but we would have done something. But I'm not playing about 110% tip on the worse service I've had in my life.

McDonalds will walk your food out to you these days and you don't tip them. 95% of the time when I go to a restaurant that's all I require from my waitress, just bring me my food. Maybe they refill my water once....but all of a sudden, depending on the cost of the food, you have to tip $10+ dollars on top of already overpriced food...when all the waitress did was the same thing the McDonalds worker did...brought me my food. I also think it's stupid that the price of the food is largely what determines the price of the tip...since it's a percentage of the bill. When I go to a "cheaper" restaurant and only need to tip $5 or something but then go to a more expensive restaurant that same tip for the same service is now $15 only because the food is more expensive is stupid.

[@CrossRoadsOfTime]

@@PreppinShootinLivin I totally agree with this and even in situations where I think a tip is warranted I'm considering how much did they do for me, not what the bill comes to. As really if I go to the same place and one time order the chicken meal then the next day order the Steak meal, I shouldn't be expected to pay a larger tip the 2nd time when the server didn't do anything different, I can understand the steak costing more, and the bill being higher due to that. But since the server did not have to do anything different at all, nor did they actually do anything different they aren't getting a bigger tip.

I'm from Europe and in my country, tipping is a gift. It's a reward for being extra nice to the customer or doing a really good job. Or it's a consolation price for when you deliver food and have to go through rough weather or if you work on "holiday" like valentine's, christmas or even something like easter. Some people will tip workers who have night shifts for putting up with their tired ass pulling up at 3am for a greasy burger and some coffee. But tipping is never expected! People get paid a normal wage and do their jobs. Here we don't have to fake extreme happiness to the customer or bend over backwards just to get that tip. No one has to fear not being able to have food on the table for their children, or at least not more than the other people. Tipping has gone out of hand in America. I know someone who's friend went to New York and got cursed out of the store because they didn't tip. This person was called greedy and Mr Scrooge. Great way to never get a tip again. Brett I have to disagree, paying people a living wage will not break America and it will benefit everyone. Customer, workers and marginalized groups. And I disagree that some jobs should have a tipping culture. No. You're a waitress, all you do is bring me my food. Sure, it's tough work but I can imagine that being the cook is just as touch if not more. Just get rid of "mandatory" tipping and pay people 15$ per hour. Have tips be what they're supposed to be, a gift for doing an excellent job!

[@greatestboop6758]

I only tip before I get my food when I pay if I am a regular to a place and I know it's good. And another solution is to tip with cash instead of on your card when you pay. You also control where the tip goes that way if there is one person you liked or was really nice and a hard worker. When the tip is electronic they usually split it with everyone on the clock. Of course that can also be dependent on the place though

[@sm-fl4vx]

​@greatestboop6758 unfortunately many places that clame to share tips don't actually tip the staff properly. As none of the staff see what is actually accumulated they are only given a small amount of it while owners keep the rest. I am sorry to say I have seen this in many places especially in the US. So even when leaving a cash tip it is important to hand it directly to the individual you wish to receve it. And don't just leave it on the table letting the person know it's for them as other workers/people will scoop up the tip and your intended recipient will not get anything. I had to chew out a shitty waitress who didn't even Finnish serving us,and served us the wrong thing to start, because after the Server changed and we had proper service the new server was busy seating someone when we left. We showed her that we left her a tip. Just as we said this the shitty server rushed over and placed the tip in her personal pocket... not the tip pocket in her apron. I know the owner personally so called her up to come deal with the issue. As she arrived I confronted the first server about her actions. She flat out denied doing it. The owner came up behind her and shocked her by telling her to empty her pickets or leave emediatly. The Server was upset but didn't want to be dismissed. So reluctantly pulled out the money I had left for the other server. The owner was mortified by this and my experiance with poor service. I was not the only one to complain about that peticular server. She was told that she was allowed to Finnish her shift but was not to come in for her next shift because the owner was considering letting her go.

This all went down after a local grocery store jumped on the tip wagon and added a 10% stocking fee. This fee was said to help pay employees during covid as they were sopping and doing curbside drop off. Then they waited till you loaded your car then they would spray down the wagon and go back indoors. The city didn't do anything during covid times or as long as they provided the curbside drop off. Once they stopped that service they renamed this tip to service fee to keep a clean store! The store owner saw this as another way to make money with no effort.

A lot of these places have you pay before they bring you the items so they know and have time to act inappropriately. And with the pizza guy example, it’s not just no tip anymore - if they don’t deem your tip worthy of their next level delivery skills, even if it’s 25% on top of the delivery charge, they might still retaliate. I just don’t give them my business anymore.

[@CMTZ11]

We aren’t forced by any means to tip. But many of us have had a tip job growing up. We know they get less than minimum wage BECAUSE they receive tips. But if your going to act like you are owed 20% than act like it. I start at 20% and start adding or subtracting for things like are you smiling, are you quick, are you knowledgeable of the menu. I don’t even care if you suck most of the time as long as you’re earnestly trying and friendly. If you’re treating me like it’s a burden to do your job get ready for no tip. Or let’s be real, I’m still going to give something. Smh

I will never understand why people tip DoorDash and other deliveries. It’s their job to pick up food and and bring it to your house. You don’t get a tip for doing the basic duties of your job description.

[@jackieruso6493]

Well, as a former DD driver who also delivers for Spark and Grubhub let me tell you why you should tip your drivers and then you will understand why they do and you should as well. The fees you pay for your food to be delivered does not go to the driver like most people think it automatically does. It goes to these food delivery apps like Door Dash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, Instacart, etc after the merchant (restaurant/store) gets paid. This is because the restaurants and stores have to pay a 20% commission fee to these apps. So to make up for these costs, the prices for the food are more expensive on these apps even with the deals and promotions they have. Or, they take the tips from the drivers...sometimes they do both. With that being said, the driver only gets a small portion of the tip or no tip at all (and that can happen even if the customer provides a tip). This is a huge disadvantage to the driver because these restaurants and stores don't have to pay for a car, car insurance, gas, maintenance costs, or an employee to deliver the food. We the drivers do that with our own vehicles and therefore are putting more wear and tear on them. Our risk for an accident goes way up which makes our auto insurance rates skyrocket or we get dropped from our policy altogether. We are also putting more money from our own pockets into our gas tanks when doing these deliveries. Sometimes, we get orders that are 9.00$ for 11 miles and if we get orders where the miles exceed the pay out then most drivers won't deliver your food for the reasons I just stated and thos are the orders without the tip. Also most people don't carry cash on them like they used to. So there's been a lot of times where drivers were promised a cash tip when delivering the food and they never received one. Hopefully, you now understand why it's better to tip and pre-tip ahead of time when using these food and grocery delivery platforms.

[@jackieruso6493]

As a former DD driver let me tell you this. As long as tipping remains even remotely optional the driver, wait staff, etc will not be paid a decent wage. It hasn't happened in the past 30 years and won't be changing at all anytime soon. The money you pay through these apps for food and grocery delivery doesn't go to the driver only.

I got a job at a Japanese restaurant and was running around like crazy trying to help all the customers because the other girls weren’t doing their jobs. A lot of people noticed and were putting tips in the jar just for me because I was brand new and not getting any help or proper training but still going out of my way for the customers. At the end of my shift, the other girls took the tip jar in the back to count it and I waited patiently for them to return with my share, and after 30 minutes went to go find out why they hadn’t returned only to find out that they had already left… without all the tips. I called the owner of the business since he was the one who hired me to tell him what happened and he said new employees don’t get tips for two months! We weren’t getting paid minimum wage because of tips yet I’m supposed to work for two freaking months without a single dollar even though the customers were tipping me directly for doing everything myself on my very first day? I was never told by anyone about that so I was upset that they basically took advantage of me and that my coworkers intentionally screwed me over, so I quit on the spot. The owner was pissed and started yelling at me and I finally just hung up on him. I’ll admit, I was pretty tempted to grab the tip jar on my way out when I went to go get my paycheck, especially after he didn’t even want to give it to me until I threatened to take him to court.

@@claven3608 that is not correct. This "forced tipping" happens only here in the US, while restaurants do perfectly well everywhere in the world by paying their employees a decent salary. Just travel to Spain, France, Italy, or Germany to compare better prices, better service, and better food overall. If a restaurant cannot survive because it cannot make a profit, it must change its business model, location, or close doors for good. But you cannot pretend the customer to pay 18%, 20%, 25% of the bill when usually service sucks. I have hired restaurants for groups during many years all over the world; sometimes you get one waiter for a 12 people table and yet you have to pay a 20% on top of the menu, plus taxes. In many occasions you are leaving a $200 tip for a 1-hour service. That is ridiculous. Don't tell me a waiter needs to make $100-200 per hour for s restaurant to survive. And don't get me wrong, I am not saying tipping must disappear, but anything "forced" or beyond 10% is ridiculous.

[@arkboi2145]

100% agree with you Brett! I’ve also worked in the service industry among others. My philosophy has always been that “Tips” and “Tipping” should always be 100% voluntary. The amount tipped should always be relative to the additional quality of service or good provided. Otherwise, tipping and the reasons behind it, loose all meaning and it simply becomes nothing more than a mere additional tax. As you said, it’s not food-service staffs fault that they aren’t paid a living wage for their work by their employer. It’s the employer’s, and by extension, the lobbyist's and government’s fault. However, food-service workers are not being forced to stay where they are and work against their will. They are fully choosing to work in food-service and to play the tipping game. I’ve had many people over the years argue with me over this. However, in truth, tipping should only be done when either: 1) A person is providing a service that is NON-STANDARD to the job or an experience and that is OUTSIDE THE NORM. This means going above and beyond the basic minimum requirements and expectations of their job in order to provide a genuinely better experience to the customer. Ex: providing (x) faster, providing (x) correctly the first time, giving a customer in-depth and comprehensive information, giving the customer insider info and discounts, providing the customer with a hassle-free experience, and/or doing something for the customer, etc. 2) A person is creating a good/product and provides the customer with an exceptional, higher-quality version of that good/product, that is NON-STANDARD when compared to the rest of their inventory and/or when compared to similar artists work. All the while charging you nothing more for that higher quality. Ex: higher quantity of (x) item(s), (x) item is cleaner/more durable/more precise/more detailed, food item is tastier/healthier, etc. So then, why do we actually have a tipping system and why do we tip? Well, when done correctly, tips help incentivize employees (and by extension, businesses) to work harder for their customers attention. Because in the business world (The Capitalistic Ideal), customers speak with their wallets. Only those employees who consistently work hard and have a genuine drive to be better and do better will ideally earn those tips. And these high-performing employees have a positive impact and affect on the business and its reputation as a whole. All the while, any poor performing employees who don’t care and don’t do good work, will be driven out. It’s a version of “work natural selection” where only the best employees and businesses will do well and stay afloat. However, I agree wholeheartedly that nowadays there are far too many people who are hella entitled and expect a tip (a handout) for simply existing and for not doing any of the work to earn it. The worst culprits of all, are those scummy businesses who have the audacity to force their customers to do all of the work for said service or good/product, and in the end expect said customer to tip the business for the privilege of utilizing them.

I've been a professional server in the Restaurant industry for the past 25 years. Tipping used to be a "reward" from customer to server for going beyond the call of duty (which is just serving the order). For smiling, for being there on a moment's notice, for answering all sorts of questions, for making small-talk, for giving compliments, for giving directions, for giving information and a myriad other things that a customer might need. Tipping, also used to be an incentive for a server to do all that. Now... it's become an excuse for employers to pay the kitchen staff less having them claim a "cut" from the server's tips... or even further... Retail stores, justifying a low salary with the promise of "tips", creating this entitlement for which the new generation of minimum wage workers has really no fault of their own. Sadly, they don't know any better.

He stated that it was slow, so he had some time, and that he was almost done with his shift. It was interesting to talk to a server like that. I also met quite a few other servers who would make small talk with my partner and I. It is nice to get those type of workers who do not mind interacting with customers.

I am from a time when a tip was a gratitude not a requirement. The standard was 5% for basic service with a good attitude, 10% for a good job with no empty cups on a normal day, and a good attitude. 20% only happened when the person was very good at the job and made the experience enjoyable. there were times when the tip went up from there as the situation warranted, but 20 % was usually the top. Now if I walk in and it feels like I am bothering the staff by being there then I will not tip and feel no guilt for it. That applies mostly to restaurant folks. Other services are subject to the situation. If the restaurant automatically puts a "Gratuity" on a check it becomes something completely different. As a side not, my state has a minimum wage of 13.00 plus depending on where you are at in the state, so they are getting almost as much as I make.
