@@michelleg.9934that's hilarious. The only place I tip at other than sit down restaurants/bars is my vape shop. The reason I tip them though is two fold: 1)Their prices are really really good. I was buying a single 30ml bottle for $30 from another store and they sell custom juices for $17 and it tastes better. And 2) The cashier makes your vape juice flavor and nicotine level right in front of you so they're actually doing some extra work and they allow you to customize it however you want as long as you keep the nicotine level below 50mg/mL aka 50 nic (which is the max). I always throw them like $5 and they're always happy and I still end up paying less than if I went anywhere else
Haven’t tipped in years except for very specific instances. The point of a tip was to reward good service, either someone who regularly served you well or went above and beyond the norm. Then it became “expected” for every server. Now it’s expected for every one that remotely sells you something. You shouldn’t get a tip for doing the bare minimum of your job description. You especially shouldn’t get a tip when all you do is swipe my card then spin an iPad around
I only tip at real restaurants because some states or cities they only make $5 an hour. In Reno jobs have a right to pay under minimum wage for tippable jobs. Here in Portland Maine, some servers make $16-$18 and ask for 20% tip. For what, to hand me my food and maybe a refill meanwhile the cooks and dishwashers are working harder
@@GabrielGarcia-300 I don't know about other countries but in the US no restaurant employee makes less than minimum wage unless they're allowing their employer to illegally screw them over
At a popular local coffee shop the person front of me tipped but then I didn’t. When each of our drinks were done, they walked his coffee the 5 paces to where he was sitting but my name got called for me to go get mine at the counter. At first I laughed at the pettiness but then I realized that was fair, he tipped and get served, I hope the extra $3 was worth saving 10 steps 😂
I work at a bakery. I am the front worker which means i am cashier, i get your food for you, and i clean/manage the whole cafe when it comes to presentation. My coworkers also do the same. Our bosses didnt put a tip jar, or a system even when switching to square. But i honestly love it. My job is so easy, i recommend to every teen who is starting out. But when the cafe is crowded, its super busy, and frustrating, people give us tips for our "hard work" (at times like that its hard work) and it makes me so happy because in that moment, it feels so special that they saw me working harder than usual and thought i deserve an extra dollar. THAT'S what tips are for. They are SPECIAL. Not MANDATORY
My best friend manages a coffee shop. When I told her I don't tip baristas, she goes "Well, it's just polite. Their hourly rate isn't enough to live on." I said "That's unfortunate, but it's also not my problem. You tip someone for going above and beyond their job for you. Calling out my name and handing me coffee is not going above and beyond."
I’m not paying extra cause you’re (the figurative worker) uneducated lol plus 99% of baristas I’ve ever seen or met don’t do a very good job at being consistent with coffee. No one has any pride in their work in this country. Look up Jiro dreams of sushi and you’ll get an insight on work ethic
It makes me laugh that Starbucks thinks I’m gonna tip after paying almost $5 for my coffee. (I realize I could go to other coffee places but only Starbucks has good iced coffee/Frappuccinos.)
And they ask for tip ON TOP OF THE TAX. That is NOT how it works. Both tip and tax are added to the SUBTOTAL. Lousy coding trying to guilt trip me into paying more!
I ordered from papa John's online using their specials , and was looking at the suggested tips by percent 15%, 20%, 25%, but I quickly realized that the values being given weren't based on my total, but rather the items IF I had ordered them at full price plus the delivery fee. Are you kidding me? It's bad enough I have to both pay a delivery fee and tip the driver. But to tip a percentage based off a total that I'm not paying plus the delivery fee? Screw that. Dude got a custom tip of approximately 15% of my order total before delivery fee and tax.
@@robbnoble1509To be fair, the driver is carrying the same amount of pizza regardless and shouldn't have to subsidize the employer's discount in my opinion. That said, that's why I usually do a flat rate for delivery and add more if I order a lot or the driving conditions suck.
As a business owner that uses square space. They can turn that off with a touch of a button. Literally, I turned it off for my own business. The fact it’s an option doesn’t mean you should do it. It’s also an option for me to pic pocket someone for some extra money but I don’t do that either.
I was told when I was younger that this is the rule. If the waitress takes your order at the table you tip. If you order at the counter you don’t tip. Even in the same restaurant.
In Australia we don’t tip, regardless of circumstances. Maybe if service is extraordinary, but certainly not in general. But your idea actually makes sense.
From a business owner that uses square space, it’s actually not their problem. They have tipping turned off by default and you have to manually turn it on, and choose the tip percentages. It’s the greedy owners that was to guilt people into tipping
@@samanthaMaegan3895 How do you live on so little cognitive function? Clearly they don't enable tips and are criticizing owners who do to guilt people. Tip culture is the whole problem here, and small margin business owners choose to use tips because they have so many expenses and taxes, the fault lies with those who blame businesses and do nothing but take from these people.
Only people I tip are waiters, delivery guys, and valet drivers. Everyone else is just doing their job. If I'm getting a coffee at a coffee shop, the barista is just doing his job making the coffee that I already paid for and now I'm supposed to pay extra? Now my landlord is gonna start asking for tip on top of the rent
This gonna sound unhinged but hear me out guys. If we all stopped tipping everybody , they all are going to be forced to pay a better wage. Then we don't have to do math, or figure out which categories of workers get tips or not.
@@CriMxDelAxCriM This is the real answer. It would hurt a lot of people and businesses really hard for like 1-2 years with ripples for the next decade, but businesses would adapt and things would reset. Also, I don’t understand the people that say “I don’t tip baristas because they’re just doing their job. I tip waitresses because they’re going above and beyond…” like, I know it’s a hard job, but that’s literally their job. They take orders and bring out food and having a good attitude is not “extra”. That’s also part of the job.
@Buttonmstr ya I have no idea why we make these distinctions either. And it's not even based solely on difficulty. I ain't so no body tip there landscaper. It's a service. It's hard as hell. I didn't get one tip the entire I time I worked landscaping . Yet we tip bartenders even when you ordered a beer? "Well the bartender has skills and knowledge to make drinks" ya damn near every profession requires skills and knowledge. But I haven't seen anyone tipping the airline pilot when they get off the plan. And so if your sole argument is the job is hard compared to what it pays that sounds like the businesses damn problem. I also think it would be rather quick in some industries. If everyone stopped tipping waiters tomorrow by week's end they would all demand more pay or quit. And restaurants would either pay more, change their service model or close. "But prices would go up" you already were paying more! With your tip. But now it's built in and divided across everyone who purchases instead of just those who tip.
I tip my hair stylist, who always makes me feel like a million bucks when I walk out of her salon, 30%. When I get an hour massage to help ease the tension in my back, I also tip. These examples make sense, they're what tipping is meant for.
I feel no guilt or remorse when I hit zero for tip at sub places. If they bring the food to my table, then I tip. If not forget it. Sometimes I will throw my change in to the tip jar at the coffee shop but not always. Depends on the mood. I'm in that minute.
As someone who gets tipped occasionally (about $150/wk on avg) I wholeheartedly agree with this. Tipping has no business in business as a requirement to do business. Shit is out of control.
I laughed so hard because this happens to me in the SF Bay Area A LOT! We are given a 15-18-20% option when we are there picking up! This video is great.
I was in Five Below the other day. They only have self checkout counters there now. So you pay and bag everything yourself, which they charge you per bag too. So I shopped myself, checked out and bagged everything myself, yet the machine asked if I wanted to tip! Ya I’m tipping myself!
I had this same issue at a grocery store and I thought "who the hell is the tip going to? The stock boy? Cause no one else is involved in this at this point."
If a fast food place forces me to tip I will steal condiments, napkin holders, tables and chairs until I have enough to start my own restaurant then I will charge them tips.
Well, some places are making our rounding up your your change so they don’t have to give you change that’s another way they store steals your money and now at the airport. I forget what airline it is I think it’s frontier. I’m not sure, but they check your bags you know for security and then they want you to tip them 15, 2025% And there’s no declined button so at the airport you have to tip them to protect your luggage. This is getting stupid.
I feel the same way when a store asks for a donation for charity. I went to a fast food place this week and they wanted a donation for a charity in the drive thru!
@@anthonybattestella1669 bro no. You don't just decide after 20 years those are tippable jobs. Full service is the only places that were ever culturally normal to tip at until like a year ago. Fck that has nothing to do with management. Baristas and cashier's and all of those people MAKE A REAL MINIMUM WAGE. Full service wait staff get paid like 1/3 as much because they are on tipped minimum. Gtfoh
@@essential993 servers also make minimum. This is a lie. At worst they make minimum, anything better is minimum + tips. Stop spreading this Lie. This is part of the problem. If they truly aren't paying minimum then they are violating federal law and you have an easy case which will get you paid way more than serving ever would have.
I feel the same way with the damn self checkouts. They're so easy and I use them all the time but bruh, why are we driving ourselves to their store, buying their stuff with our own money, and then having to check ourselves out 😭
So they can save money by having less employees. Hear me out Say the store has 6 checkout lines. To have all six checkouts you need six employees per shift. Now the store puts in a bank of six self checkouts it takes one self checkout employee per shift to run these six self checkouts. The store also keeps 2 tills open with 2 cashiers per shit. for people who want to deal with a person. This keeps people generally happy. 3 employees do the function of 8 employees. For less than the cost of the 6 employees it took to run the store before self checkout
Gotta start doing curbside more often, I never do it because vegetables and fruits are always horrible. But it's the only thing I feel gives me money's worth
I refuse to use self checkouts until they give a discount for all groceries (paying me for the labour). I’d rather wait in line. If everyone did that, the stores would be forced to go back to hiring more staff which would help the economy.
When I was a teenager working at restaurants if we wanted tip money we had to get the server and busser jobs. Cashiers, cooks, and dishwashers didn't get tip money period.
@@98loud Yes. Plus they have to deal with the customers clearing dishes, refilling beverages and more. I found bussing tables way more demanding than washing dishes.
@@B.C.5230 sorry, clearing tables and refilling beverages does not (and isn't - I've done more buss work but have washed dishes)sound worse than washing dishes for 8 hours in the same spot.
@@98loud Everywhere I washed dishes as soon as you were ahead we would be in the back parking lot goofing around. Also we had tunes in the disher area. Other than restocking the bar occasionally dishwashing was a breeze. On the flipside bussing a banquet of hundreds of ppl was exhausting and worthy of tips.
@@98loudFor me it depends, if they have one of those commercial dishwashers I can run stuff through it’s a pretty easy job and I get into a good flow. But if that machine breaks down or they dont have one I rather be bussing. A lot just depends on the restaurant. How much space you have to work with, how much backup silverware they have, how high the sink is and thus how much you need to bend over, if it’s a very busy restaurant and you’re the only dishwasher, if their cooks burn an inch thick layer of food at the bottom of their pots and expect it to be cleaned and returned in an impossibly short time, etc Either job has a potential to be harder depending on circumstances.
@@engignerto be fair, they look like they are in New York City. Everyone there has a special accent. I don’t know what it means so I don’t know the correct pronunciation.
@@ryanlukens9280 I mean the "correct pronunciation" kinda depends on the person, but Americans (especially New Yorkers) tend to say things in funny ways
I'm a carhop at a drive in. If you come thru just know, tips are never expected but always greatly appreciated and I'm gonna give you the same service regardless so no worry on that.
I remember when Square came out and it was suddenly the big thing at all the craft shows i attend. The artists were usually very quick to tell customers to ignore the tip line since many didnt know how to get rid of it. I've been blissfully hitting 0% on that tip line for years because i thought that was the same for everyone...i just refuse to change now. 😂
As a former restaurant waiter making less than minimum wage where most of your income was tips it is messed up that people behind the counter making minimum wage are requesting the same gratuity.
I don't know about you, but I've seen a noticeable drop in tips for real service jobs. This whole trend has turned people against tipping for everything
They’re making bank! My 17 yr olds first job at Walmart a few years ago started at 17.50! My nephew served soup at zuppas for 19.50! And then they want a tip it’s insane I was a waitress for years. I was lucky to get 1.25-1.85$ an hr for full waitressing. It’s absolute shi*!
@@blueskiestrevor5200 That's because tipping used to be for performance and it was 10%. Then slowly crept into an expectation and crept up to 15% and then 20%. And as you know, employers decided it was up to the customer to pay the majority of the workers wages via tips.
Yeah when I worked as a cashier I felt bad when they had a donation to round up to the nearest dollar for food banks and stuff. I couldn't imagine asking for a tip.
I don’t tip unless I’m at a restaurant where someone is serving me with a great attitude and is professional. They deserve that. Everyone’s still getting paid. The tip is just a “thank you” for the professionalism.
Not in America. In parts of the USA they can pay as little as 4 dolleridoos an hour and tell the employees the rest will be made up in tips. They have to pay more if the customers don't tip at least X amount, but it still leaves the employee at the mercy of how their customers feel that day.
@@AndragonLea don’t care, I don’t tip waiters who start off with an attitude 🤷♀️ I understand bad days and having a rough shift, I’ve been there many times. But you still gotta be a good worker, and that includes the attitude and service. I tip for good service, I don’t tip you for doing the bare minimum of your job
@@B00GH0STIE Hey, I don't say you need to tip for every person regardless of service. Just pointing out that in the US, the tip isn't "a little bit extra for exceptional service". Companies will straight up pay almost nothing and expect the tips to pay the employee for them.
@@AndragonLeano this is where it gets weird. It’s not like the prices of the food are lowered. To make up for the extremely out of hand tipping culture. It’s expensive, then you add taxes making it more expensive and then I’m the one paying the employees? You get tipped if you do an outstanding job…
The problem is that companies don’t pay their employees enough, and rely on the customers to tip the employees to compensate for a reasonable wage. The employees then get upset when they don’t get tipped because they aren’t making a reasonable wage at all. Companies that don’t pay their workers are the problem, not the employees that get upset when they don’t tip. They are just trying to make a living, and the companies are just trying to get richer. I don’t see how minimum wage employees are getting the blame when it’s actually the multi billion dollar companies that are causing this.
@@seetha7 well I don't see how the customers are to blame, either. So I guess we're at an impasse here, aren't we. Maybe if workers refuse to get employed below a living wage (not minimum wage) then maybe big corpo can get up from their asses and fix their wage rates. The problem is with people who just bend over and just take whatever shit a company gives them instead of valuing the work they're putting in.
@@thepunisher2561 yeah, of course it’s not the customers fault. I’m not blaming the customer nor the employee, I’m blaming the major corporation that fuels this dispute against employee and customer.
@@idiosyncrasy7703 the customers aren’t to blame in any way. The corporations are to blame for the divide between customer and employee. If a corporation doesn’t pay their employees much, and tells them to rely on customer tips, they will be upset with customers. Customers, then get upset with the employees for feeling like they should tip or else the employee will get mad. The kicker is that neither are at fault for this.
The original idea was that waiters get paid less than minimum wage because they get tips to make up for that (except in CA where waiters still must get minimum wage at least). It makes no sense other than for people who get paid less than minimum wage. Waiters only.
You tip delivery drivers, hospitality workers, maids, and servers. Everyone else is if you’re feeling particularly generous and want to leave an extra dollar.
In use to work at Wendy's and I would get ripped quite often. It made me feel. Special because we didnt have a tip jar, it was never mentioned so I knew I genuinely earned it. It always made me, so Thankful.
I'm a cashier and I keep getting in trouble because my roundups aren't high enough. My boss accused me of not asking everyone lol I've resorted to telling them I'll get waterboarded if I don't get my roundups up 😅😢 Like if I get fired because people don't want to tip a corporation for no reason then that's totally bs. I can't even believe it's legal to begin with. I'm sure this is hurting peoples actual tips that they survive on. ❤
It’s absurd to be asked to tip on take-out - they expect the same amount as if they delivered it! I do tip baristas at my local coffee shop, but I’d be less inclined if they flashed a tip screen at me (I never return to those establishments).
It all started with fast food servers having to carry heavy trays around in the 50-60s. But at that time the servers used to add acts like on roller skates or skipping ropes. That's where tipping started. Now its demand for doing their jobs? WTF.
Went to a restaurant last night in a big city while on vacation. The receipt gave three tipping options - 17%, 20%, 22%. I nearly laughed out loud… maybe they’re succeeding at training/guilting the younger crowd into overspending. But I’m in my 40s. I know it’s 15%, and I know how to figure it out in my head thank you very much.
Use the app, they get it right then & you can customize. My Starbucks knows me and automatically add expresso to any coffee I order. Which is hilarious to my goddaughter. She’ll take a sip of her Frappuccino and say “You ordered from your usual place, didn’t you.” I drive up and don’t even have to give my name anymore. I walk through the door and they tell me good morning by name. I feel like Norm from Cheers. 😂
@@chimoshishifu407 lol you must have some good baristas cause even when I order on the app, I feel like they still can’t read 😭 so they charge me for my shit that they “forgot” to put it which is the reason I choose not to tip.
The guilting customers into tipping in the US is ridiculously out of hand, if they tried this in the UK they would rapidly have zero customers never mind ever receiving tips. Customer's tip by choice not by being compelled through guilt, by greedy employers.
Yeah I hardly ever do, i think it might get stressful if I have to worry about a confrontation after I'd just finished a meal or drink if I went there. I think the last time workers didn't get a minimum wage here was in Carluccio's
I like when they try to cover up asking for a tip by handing you the machine and saying “and the machine is just going to ask you a quick question”. Look, I get some places don’t get paid enough and rely on tips but like… at least be up front about it 😂
if we’re going to just give money away at this point. There should be an option to “pay ahead” … in other words, buy a meal for the next person. 😊.. that way everyone can benefit. I’m sure more people would like to do that, instead of just tipping for no reason.
When I was 15 I got my first job in Mexico I would serve the food, clean, take orders and take the deliveries on a bike all around the Pueblo, Loved that job and I would never ask for tips when I would deliver the food on bike, and if they were to tip me it would just be like 5 or 10 pesos 😊 loved that job it humbled me even more ❤
I will say I worked at a restaurant where we all made a server wage (about $4 an hour in 2019) but the customer ordered up front, sat themselves, got their own drinks (sometimes we would grab them a refill) and other than bring the food to their table and bus the tables after we didn’t do much. It frustrated me so much that we were expected to make a reasonable wage from tips without giving tip worthy service. Seemed unfair to expect the customers would tip based off the service we provided but also always hoped they would otherwise we didn’t make much.
I’m a barber , when people ask what’s a good tip? I tell them, whatever you want. A tip is always appreciated but never expected. I cherish you choosing me no matter what.
Apparently they are getting rid of that feature… Because the only ones that benefit from it are the managers and supervisors. And there were a lot of complaints from other lower employees because they were actually doing service and everything but they got no benefits for five stars and they were just told to push push push the five stars, even though it only benefited, the supervisors and managers
I live in Cali, and they just raised minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hour. With tips, it's possible that someone who makes sandwiches can make $60k a year. This is crazy!
I'm one of those who gets guilted into tipping and then bitches about it later. Worst is when i opt for delivery, which absolutely does deserve a tip, but i like to tip cash so on the order they see i left no tip at all. I wonder how many buggers I've had for dinner?
One time I woke up hungover craving dominos pizza at about noon. The closest one to my house wasn't delivering yet. So I ordered carry out. I drove the 6 miles to get there. Come to find out, they also don't have a drive thru window. So I had to park and then enter the building. Walked up to the counter and asked for my order. The cashier took 5 steps behind him, grabbed my order and walked back. At that point I am making my payment and the machine asks for a tip.. I look at this employee like "what's this sht". And he said, "just press no tip"
Also keep in mind it’s not up to the employees if there’s a tip question. It’s added on the system by the company not the workers so I wouldn’t get mad at them
@@taylorstayberg4404 true true. They're just there doing their job. I didn't go off on the employee, I just gave him a look and he automatically understood.
As someone who used to work at Dominos for years I feel that 😂 it’s automatic, it’s the first thing that pops up before the machine ask you for your card. I always say “hit no tip” just to get their behinds out of our store. However the person who rang up your order 90% of the time made your order. So it’s not like they were just chilling doing nothing. But yeah a lot of awkward moments from that.
As someone from the UK I agree with her. We tip here if we want to and that's it. I will always tip for exceptional service but I don't tip for someone doing a basic job. What I tip depends entirely on my feeling for that day.
Servers in the UK are paid their full wage by their employer, the 10% tip in America is used as a reason to pay the wait staff a lower hourly wage (to be made up by the mandatory tip, which is why non-tippers can end up being chased down by wait staff who can’t afford for them not to tip.) Standard minimum wage = $7.25 Minimum wage for a job with tips = $2.13 They want the customer to pay the majority of the hourly cost of an employee. Tips in America are not the same as here, unless someone tips over the standard 10% otherwise it’s just employee wages being outsourced to customers.
I also think it’s the expectations for the tip, like in my country it’s customary to give like a 2€ euros tip (usually baristas, delivery and sometimes especially in my city hairstylists), but it’s not expected, it’s not included in the service, just if you want to. We’re not expected to cover their entire salary tf
I work at a coffee shop. I love my job & the customers & try to go above and beyond what they ask for. Where I work, coffee & baked goods are expensive. A lot of people don't do tips & I completely understand. However, having the option there if they'd like, does make me happy :).
The other day a fastfood customer was sad he couldn't give me a tip via card. I felt bad for him (and grateful for the thought) but it doesn't justify the flip to tip systems.
I remember ordering from a place here locally and they wanted a tip. She looked like the stereotypical college Communist feminist. I proudly hit 0%. I then walked over with my wallet still out and gave my friend who was working there a $50 bill. I owed him $10, but it felt so much better giving him tge $50 in front of her.
Friendly reminder tipping is 100% not required in the usa. EVERYONE, even waiters make at least state minimum wage, NO MATTER WHAT. This is federal law. If you feel their job is or isnt worth minimum wage, thats a problem between the employer and employee.
My god but they don’t. They have loop holes to get around that. My hourly is $2.13/hr and I don’t see a cent of it. If I make it in tips I get no check and it is still taxed away. If I don’t make that and they need to make the difference to make minimum, it’s barely liveable wage for the 9 - 13 hr shifts where I am exerting all that I’ve got to do a job that is not nearly as easy as it seems. My restaurant, and its bar, is LARGE. It gets very intense rushes that have you going endlessly for hours. Yes, tipping is not “required” but let’s not pretend that any payment for the service I provided will be supplemented in place of the tip- because it won’t. I did that service for free. Depending on how long they stay I did that service for HOURS for free. No, it’s not the customer’s fault that that is how it is. But that is still how it is.
this is NOT true. i made 2.50/hr at my last serving job and then got a RAISE to 3/hr. minimum wage in my state is 7.25. even then it would all get taxed away. yes, the restaurant legally has to make it up if i made less than 7.25 BUT cmon now… you think i can live off 7.25? hell no
My husband tipped 20% on a 5 Guys order and I died a little on the inside. I've worked in food and retail, and unless someone goes above and beyond, tipping more than $2 is ridiculous! (They did not go above and beyond!) He's why they keep doing this stuff, he just sees a tip screen and goes straight to 20% like it's totally normal.😫😫😫😫😫
I hate the tipping culture we have too, but one thing I wanna mention is that a lot of waitresses, cashiers, baristas, etc. rely on tips to make up most of their pay, so it’s good to be considerate to some cases. I really do despise tipping though 😂
What sucks is businesses that have traditionally relied on tips (service based jobs) who now get virtually nothing because tipping culture has gotten so bad that nobody wants to tip anyone anymore. I'm a 3rd generation dog groomer, and back in the day 80% of the clients tipped. Now, some salons will literally see maybe 5% of their clients tipping, and the tips are usually much less. Prices went up because we needed to survive, and most owners stopped coming as often, meaning their dogs were in worse condition, and making the job way harder, so we charge more, customers get angry, and its become a snowball effect. Before, we charged the minimum for our time, now we have to charge for what we actually want to earn, which with paying income taxes on everything, and inflation has meant a literal 2x increase in price since covid for a lot of places. Also, so many older groomers retired during covid that theres a massive shortage. Only silver lining is we get to be more picky about clientele since we are in more demand.
I tried making a donation to my late grandmother's chosen charity through her obituary on legacy and it literally asked me for a tip. Absolutely flabbergasted with that one.
Got lunch at McAlister’s recently and the cashier said “it’s gonna ask a question, just hit zero.” I almost tipped her for her honesty and self awareness. Almost.
“You idiot, go home!” The perfect response to yourself in that moment. I would have said that to myself too if I had that thought for even a microsecond.
Counter point, the Butcher Shop steakhouse in Memphis, TN has an option for you to pick and cook your own protein from their aged steaks, fresh chicken, and fresh fish options onsite over open flame grills at the tables it’s kind of like Southern style hibachi. They do the cooking for most customers but became local famous for this unique option. They also don’t pretend to be a fancy steakhouse. I haven’t been there since Covid started though, so I don’t know if they added a required “20% service fee” plus request for tip like so many other places did.
I work as a barista, the only time I hope for a tip is when someone orders a massive order that backs everything up but if you’re ordering a coffee, don’t worry about it lol.
I was a waitress from 2017-2021 I NEVER EXPECTED a tip from every customer. - today every single establishment is raking in tips, for the bare minimum of the job. I have in the past been known to give a dollar here or there for my coffees, but 2$ for tip a week is 8/month/ is 96$ a year IN COFFEE TIPS NEVER AGAIN. I don't believe in new years resolutions, but my “goal” this year is to tip the least amount as possible this year . - aka people who do the extra service - nails, hair, massage, and a quality service at a restaurant! (ex, yesterday 7$ late no tip, today brunch with fam - she was great! 62+ tip 75$ ) 🙅🏽♀️💁🏽♀️
Once i got into college it hit me that tipping is for people who can afford to give extra when someone does extra for them at a business. I have tipped nobody since that point because im still in college and cant be spending 18$ for a 9$ sandwich at every single business. And sure some people think in stingy, but frankly id rather look stingy than be paying double the price for everything because they slap on taxes and tips to everything and some places even try lying about the cost with taxes, went to a coffee shop that had 6$ coffee on the menu that somehow turned into 9$ after a 6% sales tax. I literally walked out when they said my total out loud cause im not dealing with a company that thinks people wont notice a 50% price jump AND THEN ASKS FOR A TIP
As a barista tips were my livelihood! My paycheck about covered gas to get to and from work, and that was ten years ago. So having worked in that industry, I always tip and also go the extra mile to be kind to everyone in customer service or food service.
They wanted a tip at the drugstore. Wtf done pharmacist get enough money?
I saw this at the liquour store and they asked for 15% tip. What for? Grabbing myself the beer from the frige?😂 jeez.
@@michelleg.9934that's hilarious. The only place I tip at other than sit down restaurants/bars is my vape shop. The reason I tip them though is two fold: 1)Their prices are really really good. I was buying a single 30ml bottle for $30 from another store and they sell custom juices for $17 and it tastes better. And 2) The cashier makes your vape juice flavor and nicotine level right in front of you so they're actually doing some extra work and they allow you to customize it however you want as long as you keep the nicotine level below 50mg/mL aka 50 nic (which is the max).
I always throw them like $5 and they're always happy and I still end up paying less than if I went anywhere else
If they're working at a retail pharmacy, probably not
Whoa and wow.. who gets the tip
You do realize it's just the software right?
I absolutely refuse tipping culture. It's gotten absolutely out of hand at this point and I will not cover costs that the business should be covering
That’s the problem though. Companies are not compelled to cover the costs since tipping culture is so ingrained into our society
Haven’t tipped in years except for very specific instances. The point of a tip was to reward good service, either someone who regularly served you well or went above and beyond the norm. Then it became “expected” for every server. Now it’s expected for every one that remotely sells you something. You shouldn’t get a tip for doing the bare minimum of your job description. You especially shouldn’t get a tip when all you do is swipe my card then spin an iPad around
@@lawrencetalbot8346 THANK YOU. I can't stand this garbage!
I only tip at real restaurants because some states or cities they only make $5 an hour. In Reno jobs have a right to pay under minimum wage for tippable jobs. Here in Portland Maine, some servers make $16-$18 and ask for 20% tip. For what, to hand me my food and maybe a refill meanwhile the cooks and dishwashers are working harder
@@GabrielGarcia-300 I don't know about other countries but in the US no restaurant employee makes less than minimum wage unless they're allowing their employer to illegally screw them over
At a popular local coffee shop the person front of me tipped but then I didn’t. When each of our drinks were done, they walked his coffee the 5 paces to where he was sitting but my name got called for me to go get mine at the counter. At first I laughed at the pettiness but then I realized that was fair, he tipped and get served, I hope the extra $3 was worth saving 10 steps 😂
Got u bitching, so I guess it did. They were served, you were showed!!
I work at a bakery. I am the front worker which means i am cashier, i get your food for you, and i clean/manage the whole cafe when it comes to presentation. My coworkers also do the same. Our bosses didnt put a tip jar, or a system even when switching to square. But i honestly love it. My job is so easy, i recommend to every teen who is starting out. But when the cafe is crowded, its super busy, and frustrating, people give us tips for our "hard work" (at times like that its hard work) and it makes me so happy because in that moment, it feels so special that they saw me working harder than usual and thought i deserve an extra dollar. THAT'S what tips are for. They are SPECIAL. Not MANDATORY
My best friend manages a coffee shop. When I told her I don't tip baristas, she goes "Well, it's just polite. Their hourly rate isn't enough to live on." I said "That's unfortunate, but it's also not my problem. You tip someone for going above and beyond their job for you. Calling out my name and handing me coffee is not going above and beyond."
$10 a cup or more for less than a minutes work and they can't pay them enough to live on? I call bullshit.
I’m not paying extra cause you’re (the figurative worker) uneducated lol plus 99% of baristas I’ve ever seen or met don’t do a very good job at being consistent with coffee. No one has any pride in their work in this country. Look up Jiro dreams of sushi and you’ll get an insight on work ethic
It makes me laugh that Starbucks thinks I’m gonna tip after paying almost $5 for my coffee. (I realize I could go to other coffee places but only Starbucks has good iced coffee/Frappuccinos.)
Customers don’t need to cover the cost of living because the business is unable/willing to pay a living wage
How bout you tell your friend to fight for the baristas so they can make a livable wage
And they ask for tip ON TOP OF THE TAX. That is NOT how it works. Both tip and tax are added to the SUBTOTAL. Lousy coding trying to guilt trip me into paying more!
You are absolutely correct I was a waitress for 10 years. I can’t stand it when they do this. It’s absolute thievery.
agreed, I never tip on the taxed amount, I always look back at the original total
I ordered from papa John's online using their specials , and was looking at the suggested tips by percent 15%, 20%, 25%, but I quickly realized that the values being given weren't based on my total, but rather the items IF I had ordered them at full price plus the delivery fee. Are you kidding me? It's bad enough I have to both pay a delivery fee and tip the driver. But to tip a percentage based off a total that I'm not paying plus the delivery fee? Screw that. Dude got a custom tip of approximately 15% of my order total before delivery fee and tax.
Don't forget fees! Delivery apps love suggesting tips on the total after they charged $10 of random BS fees.
@@robbnoble1509To be fair, the driver is carrying the same amount of pizza regardless and shouldn't have to subsidize the employer's discount in my opinion. That said, that's why I usually do a flat rate for delivery and add more if I order a lot or the driving conditions suck.
As a business owner that uses square space. They can turn that off with a touch of a button. Literally, I turned it off for my own business. The fact it’s an option doesn’t mean you should do it. It’s also an option for me to pic pocket someone for some extra money but I don’t do that either.
I think nowadays, the best thing you can do for service workers is be nice to them and give them some respect. tip or not.
I was told when I was younger that this is the rule. If the waitress takes your order at the table you tip. If you order at the counter you don’t tip. Even in the same restaurant.
In Australia we don’t tip, regardless of circumstances. Maybe if service is extraordinary, but certainly not in general. But your idea actually makes sense.
From a business owner that uses square space, it’s actually not their problem. They have tipping turned off by default and you have to manually turn it on, and choose the tip percentages. It’s the greedy owners that was to guilt people into tipping
Thanks
I'm not going to fall for that crap.
Doesn’t that mean you are the greedy business owner
@@samanthaMaegan3895 How do you live on so little cognitive function? Clearly they don't enable tips and are criticizing owners who do to guilt people. Tip culture is the whole problem here, and small margin business owners choose to use tips because they have so many expenses and taxes, the fault lies with those who blame businesses and do nothing but take from these people.
"We have a griddle at home!" Got me
The Chas v’shallom killed me lmaooooo
We Jews know where it's worth putting our money 😂😂😂😂
Only people I tip are waiters, delivery guys, and valet drivers. Everyone else is just doing their job. If I'm getting a coffee at a coffee shop, the barista is just doing his job making the coffee that I already paid for and now I'm supposed to pay extra? Now my landlord is gonna start asking for tip on top of the rent
I add bartenders to that but I work in bars.
Taxi drivers. That's it.
This gonna sound unhinged but hear me out guys. If we all stopped tipping everybody , they all are going to be forced to pay a better wage. Then we don't have to do math, or figure out which categories of workers get tips or not.
@@CriMxDelAxCriM This is the real answer. It would hurt a lot of people and businesses really hard for like 1-2 years with ripples for the next decade, but businesses would adapt and things would reset.
Also, I don’t understand the people that say “I don’t tip baristas because they’re just doing their job. I tip waitresses because they’re going above and beyond…” like, I know it’s a hard job, but that’s literally their job. They take orders and bring out food and having a good attitude is not “extra”. That’s also part of the job.
@Buttonmstr ya I have no idea why we make these distinctions either. And it's not even based solely on difficulty. I ain't so no body tip there landscaper. It's a service. It's hard as hell. I didn't get one tip the entire I time I worked landscaping . Yet we tip bartenders even when you ordered a beer? "Well the bartender has skills and knowledge to make drinks" ya damn near every profession requires skills and knowledge. But I haven't seen anyone tipping the airline pilot when they get off the plan. And so if your sole argument is the job is hard compared to what it pays that sounds like the businesses damn problem.
I also think it would be rather quick in some industries. If everyone stopped tipping waiters tomorrow by week's end they would all demand more pay or quit. And restaurants would either pay more, change their service model or close. "But prices would go up" you already were paying more! With your tip. But now it's built in and divided across everyone who purchases instead of just those who tip.
I think jts crazy how much of a cash grab these places are becoming.
Agree. I had a friend who had to have his garage door repaired. The worker gave him his receipt and it had a tip line on it!!
But the tips are cash to employees, not the company. That’s what you’re missing here.
I'm a bartender and I'm with this lady. I'm not tipping a cashier or when I shop online. I tip for an experience.
I tip my hair stylist, who always makes me feel like a million bucks when I walk out of her salon, 30%. When I get an hour massage to help ease the tension in my back, I also tip. These examples make sense, they're what tipping is meant for.
Same here hahaha and my local shops as well. I won’t tip at chain restaurants tho hahah

I feel no guilt or remorse when I hit zero for tip at sub places. If they bring the food to my table, then I tip. If not forget it. Sometimes I will throw my change in to the tip jar at the coffee shop but not always. Depends on the mood. I'm in that minute.
Sonic brings the food to you. We do not tip there.
Nope. You gotta take my order at the table and then bring it to me for a tip. I don’t tip at Carl’s Jr.
As someone who gets tipped occasionally (about $150/wk on avg) I wholeheartedly agree with this. Tipping has no business in business as a requirement to do business.
Shit is out of control.
I laughed so hard because this happens to me in the SF Bay Area A LOT! We are given a 15-18-20% option when we are there picking up! This video is great.
I was in Five Below the other day. They only have self checkout counters there now. So you pay and bag everything yourself, which they charge you per bag too. So I shopped myself, checked out and bagged everything myself, yet the machine asked if I wanted to tip! Ya I’m tipping myself!
See that’s crazy… im against everyone in the comments but this right here 😭
I had this same issue at a grocery store and I thought "who the hell is the tip going to? The stock boy? Cause no one else is involved in this at this point."
Y'all are heartless! These tips go to the machines to spend with their machine girlfriends in their free time. Obviously.
No way 😂
If a fast food place forces me to tip I will steal condiments, napkin holders, tables and chairs until I have enough to start my own restaurant then I will charge them tips.
Well, some places are making our rounding up your your change so they don’t have to give you change that’s another way they store steals your money and now at the airport. I forget what airline it is I think it’s frontier. I’m not sure, but they check your bags you know for security and then they want you to tip them 15, 2025% And there’s no declined button so at the airport you have to tip them to protect your luggage. This is getting stupid.
Beautifully worded comment😅
I’m all for tipping for good service, but I refuse to let companies use me so they have to pay their employees a liveable wage.
I feel the same way when a store asks for a donation for charity. I went to a fast food place this week and they wanted a donation for a charity in the drive thru!
So they get the benefit of the write off.....no one should donate. Grocery stores do this as well.
She right. I don’t tip if I have to walk up and order. Especially coffee shops, its the same as regular restaurants except its only drinks.
Love that introspection from Brett: "Ooo, make your own pancakes -- that sounds fun!"
"No, you idiot! Go home!"

You’re literally only hurting the workers, not the management that you actually disagree with
@@anthonybattestella1669 bro no. You don't just decide after 20 years those are tippable jobs. Full service is the only places that were ever culturally normal to tip at until like a year ago. Fck that has nothing to do with management. Baristas and cashier's and all of those people MAKE A REAL MINIMUM WAGE. Full service wait staff get paid like 1/3 as much because they are on tipped minimum. Gtfoh
@@anthonybattestella1669 The workers and management need to fix that. Blaming the customer is the stupidest thing you can do.
@@essential993 servers also make minimum. This is a lie. At worst they make minimum, anything better is minimum + tips. Stop spreading this Lie. This is part of the problem. If they truly aren't paying minimum then they are violating federal law and you have an easy case which will get you paid way more than serving ever would have.
I feel the same way with the damn self checkouts. They're so easy and I use them all the time but bruh, why are we driving ourselves to their store, buying their stuff with our own money, and then having to check ourselves out 😭
I'll choose self checkout any time over standing in a line
So they can save money by having less employees. Hear me out Say the store has 6 checkout lines. To have all six checkouts you need six employees per shift. Now the store puts in a bank of six self checkouts it takes one self checkout employee per shift to run these six self checkouts. The store also keeps 2 tills open with 2 cashiers per shit. for people who want to deal with a person. This keeps people generally happy. 3 employees do the function of 8 employees. For less than the cost of the 6 employees it took to run the store before self checkout
Gotta start doing curbside more often, I never do it because vegetables and fruits are always horrible. But it's the only thing I feel gives me money's worth
@@prettyvacant3900the Walmart in Green Bay WI is only self check out. You stand in line to check out your own groceries. It’s madness
I refuse to use self checkouts until they give a discount for all groceries (paying me for the labour). I’d rather wait in line. If everyone did that, the stores would be forced to go back to hiring more staff which would help the economy.
Cosmo Kramer came up with this concept years ago. "Kramerica Industries", conceptualizes building "a pizza place where you make your own pizza pie".
If they make minimum wage, Im not tipping. PERIOD.
When I was a teenager working at restaurants if we wanted tip money we had to get the server and busser jobs. Cashiers, cooks, and dishwashers didn't get tip money period.
why exactly is that fair? Do bussers have harder jobs than Dishwashers?
@@98loud Yes. Plus they have to deal with the customers clearing dishes, refilling beverages and more. I found bussing tables way more demanding than washing dishes.
@@B.C.5230 sorry, clearing tables and refilling beverages does not (and isn't - I've done more buss work but have washed dishes)sound worse than washing dishes for 8 hours in the same spot.
@@98loud Everywhere I washed dishes as soon as you were ahead we would be in the back parking lot goofing around. Also we had tunes in the disher area. Other than restocking the bar occasionally dishwashing was a breeze.
On the flipside bussing a banquet of hundreds of ppl was exhausting and worthy of tips.
@@98loudFor me it depends, if they have one of those commercial dishwashers I can run stuff through it’s a pretty easy job and I get into a good flow. But if that machine breaks down or they dont have one I rather be bussing.
A lot just depends on the restaurant. How much space you have to work with, how much backup silverware they have, how high the sink is and thus how much you need to bend over, if it’s a very busy restaurant and you’re the only dishwasher, if their cooks burn an inch thick layer of food at the bottom of their pots and expect it to be cleaned and returned in an impossibly short time, etc
Either job has a potential to be harder depending on circumstances.

I remember when Square came out and it was suddenly the big thing at all the craft shows i attend. The artists were usually very quick to tell customers to ignore the tip line since many didnt know how to get rid of it. I've been blissfully hitting 0% on that tip line for years because i thought that was the same for everyone...i just refuse to change now. 😂
As a former restaurant waiter making less than minimum wage where most of your income was tips it is messed up that people behind the counter making minimum wage are requesting the same gratuity.
I don't know about you, but I've seen a noticeable drop in tips for real service jobs. This whole trend has turned people against tipping for everything
They’re making bank! My 17 yr olds first job at Walmart a few years ago started at 17.50! My nephew served soup at zuppas for 19.50! And then they want a tip it’s insane I was a waitress for years. I was lucky to get 1.25-1.85$ an hr for full waitressing. It’s absolute shi*!
@@blueskiestrevor5200 That's because tipping used to be for performance and it was 10%. Then slowly crept into an expectation and crept up to 15% and then 20%. And as you know, employers decided it was up to the customer to pay the majority of the workers wages via tips.
Why is everyone so anti tip I don't understand??
@@Heejinbunny because you already get paid to do the job.
I wish people refused to pay taxes like this.
Right! They print the money any way! Why are people still working for free?
Don’t blame the cashiers, they look uncomfortable. “It’s going to ask you a question before you pay” is the most common one I get. 😂
Yeah when I worked as a cashier I felt bad when they had a donation to round up to the nearest dollar for food banks and stuff. I couldn't imagine asking for a tip.
I don’t tip unless I’m at a restaurant where someone is serving me with a great attitude and is professional. They deserve that. Everyone’s still getting paid. The tip is just a “thank you” for the professionalism.
Not in America. In parts of the USA they can pay as little as 4 dolleridoos an hour and tell the employees the rest will be made up in tips.
They have to pay more if the customers don't tip at least X amount, but it still leaves the employee at the mercy of how their customers feel that day.
@@AndragonLea don’t care, I don’t tip waiters who start off with an attitude 🤷♀️ I understand bad days and having a rough shift, I’ve been there many times.

@@B00GH0STIE Hey, I don't say you need to tip for every person regardless of service.
Just pointing out that in the US, the tip isn't "a little bit extra for exceptional service". Companies will straight up pay almost nothing and expect the tips to pay the employee for them.

@@AndragonLeano this is where it gets weird. It’s not like the prices of the food are lowered. To make up for the extremely out of hand tipping culture.

I seriously don't understand the tips in USA. Workers are already getting paid, why do they get mad when you don't tip them? It's literally optional.
The problem is that companies don’t pay their employees enough, and rely on the customers to tip the employees to compensate for a reasonable wage. The employees then get upset when they don’t get tipped because they aren’t making a reasonable wage at all. Companies that don’t pay their workers are the problem, not the employees that get upset when they don’t tip. They are just trying to make a living, and the companies are just trying to get richer. I don’t see how minimum wage employees are getting the blame when it’s actually the multi billion dollar companies that are causing this.
@@seetha7 well I don't see how the customers are to blame, either. So I guess we're at an impasse here, aren't we. Maybe if workers refuse to get employed below a living wage (not minimum wage) then maybe big corpo can get up from their asses and fix their wage rates. The problem is with people who just bend over and just take whatever shit a company gives them instead of valuing the work they're putting in.

You tip waiters, hospitality, delivery drivers... You never tip a corporation.
The original idea was that waiters get paid less than minimum wage because they get tips to make up for that (except in CA where waiters still must get minimum wage at least). It makes no sense other than for people who get paid less than minimum wage. Waiters only.

You tip delivery drivers, hospitality workers, maids, and servers. Everyone else is if you’re feeling particularly generous and want to leave an extra dollar.

It’s absurd to be asked to tip on take-out - they expect the same amount as if they delivered it! I do tip baristas at my local coffee shop, but I’d be less inclined if they flashed a tip screen at me (I never return to those establishments).
It all started with fast food servers having to carry heavy trays around in the 50-60s. But at that time the servers used to add acts like on roller skates or skipping ropes. That's where tipping started. Now its demand for doing their jobs? WTF.
I NEVER TIP,, NOT EVEN AT DINE-IN RESTAURANTS.
Went to a restaurant last night in a big city while on vacation.
The receipt gave three tipping options - 17%, 20%, 22%.
I nearly laughed out loud… maybe they’re succeeding at training/guilting the younger crowd into overspending.
But I’m in my 40s. I know it’s 15%, and I know how to figure it out in my head thank you very much.
Starbucks doesn't even put the sugar and cream in the coffee. Why the hell should I tip?

Use the app, they get it right then & you can customize. My Starbucks knows me and automatically add expresso to any coffee I order. Which is hilarious to my goddaughter. She’ll take a sip of her Frappuccino and say “You ordered from your usual place, didn’t you.” I drive up and don’t even have to give my name anymore.

The guilting customers into tipping in the US is ridiculously out of hand, if they tried this in the UK they would rapidly have zero customers never mind ever receiving tips. Customer's tip by choice not by being compelled through guilt, by greedy employers.
Yeah I hardly ever do, i think it might get stressful if I have to worry about a confrontation after I'd just finished a meal or drink if I went there. I think the last time workers didn't get a minimum wage here was in Carluccio's
I like when they try to cover up asking for a tip by handing you the machine and saying “and the machine is just going to ask you a quick question”. Look, I get some places don’t get paid enough and rely on tips but like… at least be up front about it 😂
The amount of times where I have thought the same thing that I should be the one getting tipped at that point because its so ridiculous to even ask 😂
if we’re going to just give money away at this point. There should be an option to “pay ahead” … in other words, buy a meal for the next person. 😊.. that way everyone can benefit. I’m sure more people would like to do that, instead of just tipping for no reason.
That's a lovely idea but would likely be scammed by greedy employers.
When I was 15 I got my first job in Mexico I would serve the food, clean, take orders and take the deliveries on a bike all around the Pueblo, Loved that job and I would never ask for tips when I would deliver the food on bike, and if they were to tip me it would just be like 5 or 10 pesos 😊 loved that job it humbled me even more ❤
I will say I worked at a restaurant where we all made a server wage (about $4 an hour in 2019) but the customer ordered up front, sat themselves, got their own drinks (sometimes we would grab them a refill) and other than bring the food to their table and bus the tables after we didn’t do much. It frustrated me so much that we were expected to make a reasonable wage from tips without giving tip worthy service. Seemed unfair to expect the customers would tip based off the service we provided but also always hoped they would otherwise we didn’t make much.
I’m a barber , when people ask what’s a good tip? I tell them, whatever you want. A tip is always appreciated but never expected. I cherish you choosing me no matter what.
At Walmart. Self check out. They asked how they did with stars. I pick n bagged my own stuff. There's no service anymore.
Apparently they are getting rid of that feature… Because the only ones that benefit from it are the managers and supervisors. And there were a lot of complaints from other lower employees because they were actually doing service and everything but they got no benefits for five stars and they were just told to push push push the five stars, even though it only benefited, the supervisors and managers
Yup cause they get bonuses no one else does so can take stars and shove it 😊@YTcensorsEverything

One time I woke up hungover craving dominos pizza at about noon. The closest one to my house wasn't delivering yet. So I ordered carry out. I drove the 6 miles to get there. Come to find out, they also don't have a drive thru window. So I had to park and then enter the building. Walked up to the counter and asked for my order.
The cashier took 5 steps behind him, grabbed my order and walked back. At that point I am making my payment and the machine asks for a tip.. I look at this employee like "what's this sht". And he said, "just press no tip"
Also keep in mind it’s not up to the employees if there’s a tip question. It’s added on the system by the company not the workers so I wouldn’t get mad at them
@@taylorstayberg4404 true true. They're just there doing their job. I didn't go off on the employee, I just gave him a look and he automatically understood.
Lol even the employees know.
As someone who used to work at Dominos for years I feel that 😂 it’s automatic, it’s the first thing that pops up before the machine ask you for your card. I always say “hit no tip” just to get their behinds out of our store. However the person who rang up your order 90% of the time made your order. So it’s not like they were just chilling doing nothing. But yeah a lot of awkward moments from that.
Bro what dominos has a drive thru? I ain’t never seen one.
As someone from the UK I agree with her. We tip here if we want to and that's it. I will always tip for exceptional service but I don't tip for someone doing a basic job. What I tip depends entirely on my feeling for that day.
Servers in the UK are paid their full wage by their employer, the 10% tip in America is used as a reason to pay the wait staff a lower hourly wage (to be made up by the mandatory tip, which is why non-tippers can end up being chased down by wait staff who can’t afford for them not to tip.)
Standard minimum wage = $7.25
Minimum wage for a job with tips = $2.13
They want the customer to pay the majority of the hourly cost of an employee. Tips in America are not the same as here, unless someone tips over the standard 10% otherwise it’s just employee wages being outsourced to customers.
I also think it’s the expectations for the tip, like in my country it’s customary to give like a 2€ euros tip (usually baristas, delivery and sometimes especially in my city hairstylists), but it’s not expected, it’s not included in the service, just if you want to. We’re not expected to cover their entire salary tf
The Domino's pizza near me just recently STOPPED asking for a tip when you pay. Some companies are learning.
Coast guard oughta ask for tips when they save someone
I work at a coffee shop. I love my job & the customers & try to go above and beyond what they ask for. Where I work, coffee & baked goods are expensive. A lot of people don't do tips & I completely understand. However, having the option there if they'd like, does make me happy :).
The other day a fastfood customer was sad he couldn't give me a tip via card. I felt bad for him (and grateful for the thought) but it doesn't justify the flip to tip systems.
If yes you fed?
I remember ordering from a place here locally and they wanted a tip.
She looked like the stereotypical college Communist feminist. I proudly hit 0%.
I then walked over with my wallet still out and gave my friend who was working there a $50 bill.
I owed him $10, but it felt so much better giving him tge $50 in front of her.
I’m ready to start looking around and loudly announcing to the entire place “I’M NOT TIPPING!” as I select “Other” and enter “$0”.
I saw that “Make your own breakfast” place in Nashville when I was planning a trip. I was totally baffled. Seriously, people pay for that?! 😂
Friendly reminder tipping is 100% not required in the usa. EVERYONE, even waiters make at least state minimum wage, NO MATTER WHAT. This is federal law. If you feel their job is or isnt worth minimum wage, thats a problem between the employer and employee.
Since when have employers ever agreed to a raise if a co worker just asks for it.
My god but they don’t. They have loop holes to get around that. My hourly is $2.13/hr and I don’t see a cent of it. If I make it in tips I get no check and it is still taxed away. If I don’t make that and they need to make the difference to make minimum, it’s barely liveable wage for the 9 - 13 hr shifts where I am exerting all that I’ve got to do a job that is not nearly as easy as it seems. My restaurant, and its bar, is LARGE. It gets very intense rushes that have you going endlessly for hours.
Yes, tipping is not “required” but let’s not pretend that any payment for the service I provided will be supplemented in place of the tip- because it won’t. I did that service for free. Depending on how long they stay I did that service for HOURS for free.
No, it’s not the customer’s fault that that is how it is. But that is still how it is.
Yeah it's really unfortunate I'm still working in food service industry myself and it can be really rough sometimes.@@alexariannon6846
this is NOT true. i made 2.50/hr at my last serving job and then got a RAISE to 3/hr. minimum wage in my state is 7.25. even then it would all get taxed away. yes, the restaurant legally has to make it up if i made less than 7.25 BUT cmon now… you think i can live off 7.25? hell no
I don't think anyone can live off of 7.25 with the economy today.@@SparklesNJazz
My husband tipped 20% on a 5 Guys order and I died a little on the inside. I've worked in food and retail, and unless someone goes above and beyond, tipping more than $2 is ridiculous! (They did not go above and beyond!) He's why they keep doing this stuff, he just sees a tip screen and goes straight to 20% like it's totally normal.😫😫😫😫😫
Where I live the minimum wage for tipped employees is over $11 an hour and I just can't anymore
And they ask for tips before they even give you what you ordered! Sometimes I worry whether they'll spit in my food in the sketchier neighborhoods.
Why tf are the first 2 comments from nsfw channels, wth
4 now
I hate the tipping culture we have too, but one thing I wanna mention is that a lot of waitresses, cashiers, baristas, etc. rely on tips to make up most of their pay, so it’s good to be considerate to some cases. I really do despise tipping though 😂
Whats even worse is the people that actually wait on tables end up with a smaller tip on avg because of the over tipping that happens.
Unless it’s a restaurant I don’t tip anywhere else.
My local comic book shop will hit the “no top” button for you. They have a note on top that says you can top if you want but they’re not expecting it
What sucks is businesses that have traditionally relied on tips (service based jobs) who now get virtually nothing because tipping culture has gotten so bad that nobody wants to tip anyone anymore. I'm a 3rd generation dog groomer, and back in the day 80% of the clients tipped. Now, some salons will literally see maybe 5% of their clients tipping, and the tips are usually much less. Prices went up because we needed to survive, and most owners stopped coming as often, meaning their dogs were in worse condition, and making the job way harder, so we charge more, customers get angry, and its become a snowball effect. Before, we charged the minimum for our time, now we have to charge for what we actually want to earn, which with paying income taxes on everything, and inflation has meant a literal 2x increase in price since covid for a lot of places. Also, so many older groomers retired during covid that theres a massive shortage. Only silver lining is we get to be more picky about clientele since we are in more demand.
Walmart are about to start charging for self-checkout, so she's not far off 😅
Pfunky griddle is fire though😭😭😭
I tried making a donation to my late grandmother's chosen charity through her obituary on legacy and it literally asked me for a tip. Absolutely flabbergasted with that one.
Got lunch at McAlister’s recently and the cashier said “it’s gonna ask a question, just hit zero.” I almost tipped her for her honesty and self awareness. Almost.
“You idiot, go home!”
The perfect response to yourself in that moment. I would have said that to myself too if I had that thought for even a microsecond.
Counter point, the Butcher Shop steakhouse in Memphis, TN has an option for you to pick and cook your own protein from their aged steaks, fresh chicken, and fresh fish options onsite over open flame grills at the tables it’s kind of like Southern style hibachi. They do the cooking for most customers but became local famous for this unique option. They also don’t pretend to be a fancy steakhouse.
I haven’t been there since Covid started though, so I don’t know if they added a required “20% service fee” plus request for tip like so many other places did.
I work as a barista, the only time I hope for a tip is when someone orders a massive order that backs everything up but if you’re ordering a coffee, don’t worry about it lol.
I was a waitress from 2017-2021
I NEVER EXPECTED a tip from every customer.
- today every single establishment is raking in tips, for the bare minimum of the job.
I have in the past been known to give a dollar here or there for my coffees, but 2$ for tip a week is 8/month/ is
96$ a year IN COFFEE TIPS
NEVER AGAIN.
I don't believe in new years resolutions, but my “goal” this year is to tip the least amount as possible this year . - aka people who do the extra service - nails, hair, massage, and a quality service at a restaurant! (ex, yesterday 7$ late no tip, today brunch with fam - she was great! 62+ tip 75$ )
🙅🏽♀️💁🏽♀️
The squarespace bit makes this all make sense.
Once i got into college it hit me that tipping is for people who can afford to give extra when someone does extra for them at a business. I have tipped nobody since that point because im still in college and cant be spending 18$ for a 9$ sandwich at every single business. And sure some people think in stingy, but frankly id rather look stingy than be paying double the price for everything because they slap on taxes and tips to everything and some places even try lying about the cost with taxes, went to a coffee shop that had 6$ coffee on the menu that somehow turned into 9$ after a 6% sales tax. I literally walked out when they said my total out loud cause im not dealing with a company that thinks people wont notice a 50% price jump AND THEN ASKS FOR A TIP
We don't tip in Europe unless you had one of the best experience with a worker, and it's really meaningful here. Should be like this everywhere
As a barista tips were my livelihood! My paycheck about covered gas to get to and from work, and that was ten years ago. So having worked in that industry, I always tip and also go the extra mile to be kind to everyone in customer service or food service.
