At this rate cops are going to ask for a tip after giving you a ticket
Don't forget to tip your doctor and the receptionist. 😆
In many countries that's genuinely a thing. Except if you don't , they will hit you
That would be funny 😂
Might as well.
They'll kick your ass first then ask for a tip
The tipping culture really is out of hand rn. The expectations are unbelievable.
I agree. If you go to a sit-down restaurant you should tip but if you go to Chipotle you should not
I try not to tip as much as possible. Bunch of overpaid workers for a job that shouldn't exist. Brings food from kitchen to the table a few feet and demands 20% of what I order. gtfoh
@@steveh5307tipping is ridiculous. The more expensive your meal, the higher the tip. The server is not doing more work, yet a tip is expected. Nonsense.
@@NoahErikkson If they actually got the orders right a tip might be worth it.
@@boomn216 bro how often do you go to a restaurant and your order is “wrong”
I never tip anything unless I’m sitting down inside getting service, otherwise no tip for anything else
Exactly.
We Should even stop tipping there. Abolish ALL Tipping. It is a cultural failure.
@@Zenithx3100%
Do you order for food delivery? Because if you do and you don't tip, I hope your food is cold and nasty when you get it. Lol I would argue that food delivery drivers need the tips more than servers at a restaurant because they actually have overhead to account for. Don't get me wrong, servers definitely earned their tips. It's hard work, but food delivery is very taxing as well in multiple ways.
@@Zenithx3say goodbye to any of the services out there where tips are a major source of somebody's income then.
I went to a fast food place yesterday. We had to order at the counter. We also had to go grab our own food at the counter when it was done. We had to grab our own napkins and make our own drink. Yet, they flipped the screen around and asked for a tip. We happily pressed "no tip." Tipping is for people who provide a service. I'm not going to tip someone for only taking my order and not doing a single thing else. Yet, the stares you receive from the person asking for a tip are not fun. They expect a tip.
I’ll be honest, I’ll stare back. 😂 I may even say “No tip for you.” It’s entitlement at that point and you have to tell these grown children no. Yes it’s awkward, yes it’s uncomfortable, but you gotta do it.
The service was that they made your food
Yes but isn’t the price on the menu accounting for the cost of food and a profit? If not, why own a restaurant?
Just asking I don’t own a restaurant.
I do own a service business and my prices cover overhead & profit. No tip necessary.
Not exactly. Most of the time fastfood restaurants are understaffed and the people making your food are busting their asses. Only people who have never worked in fast food talk like this.
The problem with this approach is you end up with a snot burger.
Why do they need to sneak in an additional charge on the check that you dont see until you get your bill? Why not just raise the price of the meal and call it a day? Same end result with full transparency.
Just sounds like a scheme to fool customers into paying employees while business owners can lure customers with low prices before tipping.
More $$$ just that simple
@@stevenporter863 It's happened to me, it's that "well you should be tipping anyway fee" lmao. Businesses not doing right by their employees or customers should just go out of business.
Businesses can’t afford to rise prices to be able to pay properly, but they expect that customers will pay their „low” prices and add a tip.
What about retail store who get same wages but no tips? How are those people living?
@@harsh0000001 Yep, that is the issue. And a lot of service industries prefer the tipping culture than get the minimum wage other workers get in other industries because they get more. With the food service industry, they can get back at you by doing something with your food if you don't tip or they think you're a cheap tipper.
@@harsh0000001 I worked in retail before (stockroom), they don't even allow retail people to take tips in many places lol.
I hate the tipping culture. No one should be tipped because their doing a job, they should be paid by the employer a reasonable amount for the benefit they provide to the business; just like any other job. Servers usually make a lot more than 15/hr on avg closer to 30/hr most of it non-taxable (so closer to 40 before tax). I was a server while in university and was making more than at my job out of university, which was taxable, required a huge investment (student loan), and just as demanding if not more than remembering a few orders and being polite.
Sorry but not sorry… North America is the only place this really happens. For the people that rely on tipping to support your income, blame it on your employer for not paying you adequately not the people paying tips with after tax money.
Exactly!
Your experience as a server isn't going to be everyone else's experience.
If you made more as a server than you did with a degree, clearly you did something terribly wrong.
I'm sure I'm in the minority with the way some people talk about tipping, but in my opinion tipping should be completely optional. Not some culturally enforced paycheck compensation. I'M not required to pay a waiter their paycheck the company who hired him is.
It is optional, but most of society bullies you into thinking it's mandatory.
I agree, but since we know the waiter relies on the tip, if we are going to choose to eat out, then we should make sure the waiter is compensated.
@@TomikaKelly It doesn't seem like you agree. If a server relies on a tip to survive then there's a problem. Defending it just because it's standard practice isn't going to change things.
I just don't tip anymore. With the exception of bartenders, servers that are waiting on me at a sit-down restaurant, food delivery drivers, and my barber. I have no problem with hitting No Tip and turning that tablet back around at them. I'm tired of everyone asking for a tip.
Bruh u tip everyone. I only tip my barber and when I get a good service, almost never in todays society
I'm heading in this direction.
I tip when I think I recieved excellent service. Telling me that the worker needs my tip to survive is not enough to make me tip. I find it absolutely abhorrent when people expect tips even before a service is rendered (IE doordash). I think at that point, it is more of a bribe. I think that creates a toxic work environment and there is no longer any incentive to give good service.
My argument against people saying, "If I paid better wages, I'd go out of business," is that maybe they should. Like if you can't figure out how to make a business profitable while paying people for their service, then you might not be cut out to own and run a business.
Well but many don't want to not run businesses because they have no other monetizable skillset.
@donaldlyons17 if they can't make a business profitable while also paying enough to get people to want to work there, then the problem isn't that their only marketable skill is running businesses. The problem is that they have no marketable skills. Part of running a business is getting people to work there.
@@totalcoward Well that might be true lest be real everything and everyone will not have the skills to do anything....
I hate tipping, not because I don’t want to pay but because it makes it awkward between me and the server. Just tell me how much to pay and make it a service charge. If service is crap, then give the manager the right to remove the service charge. It’s crazy the lengths that Americans go to defend the practice. Most of the rest of the world does fine without it.
Nowadays people feel entitled to a tip regardless of the service that may or may have not been provided. I understand that when it comes to food delivery maybe it's expected since it's a real luxury to have food delivered at the front of your door.
the problem with adding a tip to the bill automatically is that you know restaurants will abuse it. The person who orders something to go will pay the same amount for their Sandwich, chips and soda as the person who sits there and is waited on for 30 minutes. LOL people int he drive through shouldnt be required to pay a tip or an additional 20% (or whatever)
If a tip is not voluntary, it is not a tip. I feel like these companies should raise their prices and give their employees commission based off the meals they serve then
I've been asked to tip at SELF-CHECKOUT at a store where I was buying a pre-packaged sandwich. I was truly shocked 😅
Ridiculous. I was asked to tip on a self wash dog grooming where I washed and dry my own dog 🙄
What??! Tip for self-checkout? I nobody does that.
Next thing you know, we'll have to pay a cover charge to walk into a store or restaurant.
@@Ms.MD7 Wow, really. Maybe next time, you should ask to be tipped instead. The gall of these people.
This is the main reason why I started focusing more on cooking at home. Now, I eat out maybe once a month (if that). Instead, I will just splurge a more on groceries. And when I do eat outside, I feel like food itself is sub par for the amount that I end up paying and usually I am left disappointed either at the food or total cost.
This is the restaurant business model that infuriates me: Walk in to restaurant and you're "corralled" to the register with a menu on the wall. Order, look at register pay pad and they want a tip. They've done nothing but take my order. If i tip nothing, is someone going to spit in my food? Is my service held at ransom? Also, the meal in these establishments is just as expensive as restaurants where your order is taken by a waiter at a table.
I just don't go out to restaurants anymore. $50 bucks to get a burger. GTFO
If a business can't pay minimum wage it's not a sustainable business model and it should close down. Simple as that. Defending the current tipping model is defending exploitation. Greetings from Europe where slavery was abolished a long time ago.
Businesses have to start somewhere, as someone who has a small business, it’s not that simple.
@@antoniakoumarianos3055while it may apply to a very small percentage of small businesses (but even then, if your business is booming with customers, you should be able to afford paid help), how can that be true of large chains which seem to be domineering in the hospitality sector?
I literally went to orange leaf (which is where you self serve your frozen yogurt and toppings) and they have it in them to ask for tip when you pay… why would I tip when I LITERALLY just served myself!? Tipping culture is indeed insane
I don’t tip.
You don’t make enough? Quit and the employer will be forced to increase wages to get employees.
I disagree with mandatory tipping. The upside of tipping being optional is servers going out of their way to provide great service
It's okay to disagree with it, so long as you don't frequent establishments where tipping is customary (restaurants, bars, etc.)
Tipping is an outdated practice and needs to stop
That's why the best thing to do is to not eat at restaurants but order take out or make your own food.
Coming from a culture with no tipping is the norm, I almost feel threatened to tip in the US. Not just in restaurants but for all other services like haircuts, car washes, dog showers…. I thought Ipaid for the haircut… but you need to charge me on top of what I paid for the haircut? 😰
Yeah it’s insane 😅
Pay that "double fee" on your way out lol. Delivering GOOD service should come before anything and not because one expects more in return, good impressions and repeat business matter more.
If you've got a good barber/hairdresser and they're keeping you looking good, tip seems warranted imo. Barber/restaurant server/tattoo artist 👍- coffee shop/ice cream shop/five guys etc 👎
Even if it’s all robot service, I could see them still having the tip prompt. That’s how deep the tipping culture is
I've seen news reports on youtube about grocery stores asking for a tip in the self service lanes...
I dont tip synths
Americans will gladly pay it. In fact, they don’t even think about it because everything is charged. Retailers know this and profit handsomely from this stupidity. Explains how sloppy this country functions. I account for every penny, always have.
If a restaurant is not able to provide a living wage to its employees then it shouldn't be in the business. They wl have money for everything else but not a single penny to pay it's employees who actually work hard so yea it's not the customer problem. Tipping is the service you get and its not mandatory. Most of the outside food anyway is average and service is even below average but then expect you too tip 15,20 or more percentage of tip. It's simple greed of business owners to pay its employee's bare minimum and basically go and beg to customers for a tip. Not a healthy environment for the worker and the customer.
Dont add 20% gratuity onto the bill, just add it into the price of the food and be done with it. Its stupid to just say oh, we add 20% on top of the price on the menu.
Wouldn't it be the same amount of money that you'd be paying regardless?
Where in the book does it say that I have to tip a server when I’m spending my hard earned money at the restaurant…BS!!!
Stay your ass home then.
You've likely consumed more spit, semen, blood specs, fecal matter, etc. than you realize by now. 😶
Honestly as someone who was in the military it’s crazy to see how a lot of Americans think things in America are THE WAY like it’s no other way. And I don’t understand why people get mad at OTHER PEOPLE for not tipping vs getting mad AT THE BUSINESS for NOT PAYING THEM. Somehow it’s OUR JOB to now pay them?
Like I get they don’t get paid enough but why is that our fault? And then people say that we should not support the restaurant or eat there… then wouldn’t they be out of a job? I don’t get it . When I Ubered I had no expectation of tips and just appreciated them.
And yes Graham robots are def taking these easily repeatable tasks first.
Even the guy saying he took over a non profitable restaurant… okay just write it off as a loss and do business elsewhere? Like why is it now OUR JOB to help you with your non profitable restaurant by giving them low pay and wanting us to tip!?
I'm a very good tipper. Always have been. Always will be. If you don't want to tip. Dont. You don't have to write a book about not wanting to tip. It's not that deep.
If you don’t go out to eat and it’s because you have to tip. The restaurant owner has incentive to change the policy. If you still go out, but just don’t tip. Nothing will change. You’re still buying the product so why would the owner care? The only thing you’ll do is make it an increasingly unsustainable place to work and the people who are willing to work there will be those who are the most desperate for any sort of income. And in America there is always someone more desperate than you. Not going out is the only real form of tip protest.
@@VerleanHurdOkay, you want a medal for that? It's his opinion, he has a right to share it. It is that deep because clearly it's a major problem rn.
@@brentb6844so yes, not eating out. Especially knowing they hate their customers who don’t tip and can spit in their plate next time.
@@you-genedon’t think he’s asking for a medal. People just act like there is no way out of having no money. The military is an easy way out. He’s also saying we as the customer should not be liable to pay someone’s wage, the company they work for should.
I just got back from Japan as well. I really like how businesses actually pay workers there, instead of relying on the customer to pay the employees.
If you can't pay your employees, you shouldn't be running a business.
When I was in Italy a waiter made sure to tell tables with Americans that he worked for tips. Seemed kinda scammy, like he would never do that to locals probably.
He wouldn’t. There used to be no tipping in Italy. But Americans have brought their tipping culture over, and they continue to do so, so in the touristy places waiters have come to expect tips from anyone that speaks English.
@@monicamillin9659good to know, time to learn Italian.
The issue with the 20 percent on top is that it makes servers lazy. One of my favorite places to eat was a seafood boil place and service was great so we always tip good but a little over a year ago they added a 20 percent charge on top of the food and now service is terrible its a hassle just to get refills.
Imagine getting automatically charger 18% but getting a bad service or bad attitude, like i experienced today at iHop
Also how is adding a mandatory extra 18% any different than just upping the price?? Idk
How is this any different than any other store? If you don't like the cashier's attitude at WalMart do you get to pay less for your things? 🤔
@@TomikaKelly Walmart workers are not asking for us to give them an extra 18% of our grocery bill
If you are putting an automatic 20% on just raise the price 20% and say no tip.
If I go out by myself I just don’t tip. However, if I’m on a date I’ll tip 15% 😂
You've likely consumed more spit, semen, blood specs, fecal matter, etc. than you realize by now. 😶
I started getting togo from restaurants to avoid the service and tip. Now even on takeout they ask for a signature and surprise there's a piece of paper begging me for a tip. Like bro you just handed me my food. You did the bare minimum... I ordered it online, I'm delivering it, I'm cleaning. You should tip me.
In Greece, tipping is not a thing either. You can, it is typical to round up the number, for example, in a 23.75€ bill to leave 25€ or even 24€, but no-one is suppose to do it, workers are paid the same or even more from the average worker.
I don't go out and dine in anymore. I just order takeout and pay no tip
I'm so happy that in Germany every worker is guaranteed to be payed at least 12,41€ an hour and we're not dependend on others tipping. We tip for great service, not for paying the employee their wage.
I just stopped. It's getting out of hand.
I left the USA five years ago. I don’t miss tipping. Most of the world has this figured out.
The problem with "included" gratuity, is that people working there *still* expect a tip. Cruise liners do that and some hotels, yet the bartenders and servers on the cruise still expect a tip. Makes me wonder if that gratuity the business charges ever actually makes it to the workers.
In the U.S., especially if you frequent a place, your service goes down if you don't tip/don't tip enough. This is particularly true in restaurants.
The gratuity a company charges rarely gets back to the employees. I ask the person at the counter. It is just a way for companies raise prices without honestly raising prices.
Then that's a problem with Talent Acquisition and who they're bringing on board and how HR is enforcing the company's policies with their employees.
@@TomikaKelly HR gets paid by and works in the company's best interests, not employees. Employees frequently think HR is there as an employee advocate, not the case unless it is good for the company too. Not wrong, that is just how it is.
When I moved to North America and had to start tipping it felt super awkward for the longest time because it kept feeling like I was treating that server as a begging person from the streets.
To this day I need to tip through the machine because if I were to hand in cash I would definitely feel like I was treating that person as some homeless
Me too! I feel the same!
And that’s what they are- a begging person lmfao tips are earned not asked for lol
I only tip well at businesses I frequent that give good service. If service is bad or its a random place I am tipping nothing
There is a local coffee shop we go to almost weekly and we tip every time due to their customer service. Recently they increased the prices on all their products and put a sign out stating so and apologizing for the price increase. I've heard a few customers complaining about it while we were standing in line. I'm like "why are you here then?". Yes, I still tip them because I understand that their cost went up, hence their prices went up. If the company has good food/service, whatever, then raising the prices shouldn't hurt your 'loyal customer' base.
4:43, same here. I was a leasing agent. When I was making no money for months, than covering up, who tipped me????? There are many jobs that are like that, who tips them??? That actually makes waiters them think like baggers and HATE CUSTOMERS! I stopped going to restaurants and hair salons. Because I know I’m hated just because I’m a customer, until I tip generously. And this feels bad! I know they might even spit in your plate, they say it in their CZcams comments!
Your leasing agent employer should've paid you a constant wage that didn't rely on commission, just like restaurants should pay their waiters a wage that doesn't rely on tips.
Thanks for the content
No service charge, just increase food prices.
It doesn't matter. They still will expect tips. It's out of control now.
The price for a restaurant or company to do business and pay their employees a living wage should be baked into their business model instead of relying on the consumer to pay extra. And if a restaurant or company can't continue business because of it, then they shouldn't be in business, period.
Workers in jobs that need tips rarely get tipped enough. Workers in jobs that shouldn't ever be tipped expect way too much.
The ones who get hurt are the workers in jobs that need tips, but now aren't being tipped because of push back against tipping culture.
too true. when i did uber, i had no expectations of getting tipped. i made $80 in tips in a month. meanwhile my companions are complaining that nobody tips. and trust me that tip money just went to gas. nothing else.
Unfortunately, the reality is the exact opposite: the tipped industry only exists because the tipping lobby -- occupied by tipped food service workers -- want to keep it that way precisely *because* it makes them more money. When localities try to revise the minimum wage law around the service industry, workers in that industry are the ones protesting the change.
Probably business owners as well since it probably does make their lives easier, but they are very much not alone on the picket line.
Somehow business outside of the US can afford to stay in business with paying workers the minimal wage, but not in the US, I wonder how's that possible
How is it legal for businesses to give their employees tips instead of a set wage. If they can’t afford to give their workers a set wage then they can’t afford to operate a business…This is clearly a loophole for employers to get workers without paying them.
This is the answer. Pay your staff or close up shop
The same way some employees work for commission only.
@@TomikaKelly big difference between getting a tip and commission on selling a house 😅
I went to Colombia a country where is not a tipping culture. Ever since a wave of Americans started to flood that country I notice locals started to ask for tips. I knew the Americans are influencing with the tipping culture in COlombia primary in Medellin and Cartagena.
I wanted to buy a small bottle of water last night and noticed a 20% tip had been added to the price. I asked the store clerk how to remove it, they didn’t know how and so I just walked away. No water for me.
Tipping is just a "do not spit in my food bribe." This is why I don't order from apps because if the restaurant sees my to go order and there is no tip, they would likely do this. Same with delivery apps. I tip after to see if my food is even delivered before I tip cash but I have seen videos where someone compromised or ate their food and when they are presented cash at the front door, they say keep it because the food is already messed up or gone.
Exactly! Same in the restaurants. If you don’t tip, next time they throw your food on the floor in the toilet, before serving to you. Or worse. It’s not necessarily a spit. From the month. They write it in they comments here. That’s why I stopped going to restaurants, and if I have to order in some rear cases I know I have to tip generously. Even though in Japan I went to restaurants all the time, tips are 20% included in the price. And it’s perfectly fine, no humiliation for both sides, no awkwardness, no hatred, all customers are equal, NOONE CAN PAY LESS OR MORE. 20% FOR EVERYONE.
@@ellina9816 Wait, so in Japan they have tipping? Because the guy in the video says they don't.
@@JS-fd5ohtips are included in the price. 20% service charge. Not optional. But no, you don’t give them. Easy. It’s considered to be a humiliation to an employee and putting a customer to an awkward position. Not elegant. Same I’ve always seen it. Just include fixed tip charged in the price. SAME FOR EVERYONE. No less no more. So no one hates anyone.
That is BS - no ever tips cash when doing food delivery
@@JohnSkyLeyI have the few times I have used it.
Machine after you did all the work: "So will that be 20% today?"
Hello from Oregon, I went to pick up a pizza. Once I got there to pick up my order, the rep turned the screen for a tip? Times have changed, thank you for the video.
Its wild that subway and chipotle are asking for tips
Ironic that tipping culture is out of hand and you used to get the biggest tips in the industry as a real estate agent. 😂
If you can’t afford to pay employees, then you shouldn’t be in business.
If Apple or any other company couldn't make payroll they would have to cut expenses or make some drastic change. Not start asking for tips
You understand that it's you as a customer who eventually pay the employees, no matter how it's structured?
@@JS-fd5oh It is like buying too much car then relying on doing Uber and tips to make the payments. Not a good business plan.
@@JS-fd5ohit MATTERS how it’s structured. Why should we have bad experience all the time feeling pressed and hated??? Just include it in the price. Like Japan does.
@@ellina9816 I know. I addressed the point about not being in business. It's you who eventually will pay the employees, so the company will stay in business just fine. That's it. I don't like tipping too.
The good thing is that at least where I live, you can continue through life without needing to tip somebody very often. Just don’t go out to eat and don’t go places where a tip is expected. So far, only “wants” are the things where you’re expected to tip around here.
Exactly! That's what I mean. People complain about tipping even though all the services that ask for tips for the most part are luxuries.
@@zachdevine871 Yep. An occasional dinner out and haircuts. Nothing has changed for me other than 20% is a bit bigger number.
Sorry i dont live in america bt here in other countries a business tht cant pay a wage for the workers are closed down and every restaurant charges 5-10% as service charges… the fast food restaurant usually dnt have service charges the whole idea of tipping is so new to me
they make a minimum here 15+ hr and you are still expected to tip 15% after paying 15%tax
No matter how the wages rise, they will expect tips now. It's almost like you're obliged now to pay it. It's completely out of control.
I started carrying cash a lot more now for this reason. Avoid the obligation of cc signing.
Graham always killing it with these videos
He’s not…look at his viewership and the amount of people that are calling him out on his BS
Graham, I'm not joking that yesterday I came to vegas for first time and I was looking for all you can eat sushis. Wished I heard your recommendation yesterday
People stop eating out as much and then expect restaurants to increase wages? For what? It seems like the quality drops as prices go up.
If they are complaining about having to raise the prices but are all for adding a mandatory tip that is raising their prices….
I didn’t tip recently, and the waitress looked at me like “ excuse me!??” She tried to embarrass me in a restaurant full of people until I literally said ok fine give me the fam paper. Mind you, I got my own table, serve my own food, clear my table she only greeted us, that’s set! Still had to tip at least 25%
I mean a good rule of thumb is don't go out to eat if you can't afford to tip. Going out to eat is a luxury.
@zachdevine871 no. If I'm not bring full service waited on no tip. Then 15%. On the PRE TAX amount bc I don't tip the government.
I hate tipping now, it’s gotten out of hand. I normally only tip at sit down restaurants, delivery, and my masseuse. I’d honestly prefer if paves just raise their prices 20% and paying these people livable wages. I shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for hitting no tip when someone turns their iPad around.
“I’m usually there every other week, randomly” 😂😂 means please don’t try to go there to meet me haha
I live in Henderson, I’m going to have to check out Tengoku Sushi! Thanks for the recommendation.
I rarely go out to eat now because of the tipping culture. They're charging us exorbitant prices already but then they want a $20 tip on top of that. For the price I could have made a week's worth of food at home. Not worth it in my opinion.
Burger King et al were never supposed to be a "Career" that would afford the white picket fence, two cars and college It is a way for kids to make some money Thinking anything else is just fantasy. Yeah, drop some fries in the grease and buy your $500K home. LOL
I think all full time jobs should have a livable wage
"It's a way for kids to make money..."
Which kid is making your burger at 12pm on a weekday when, legally, they're supposed to be in school? 🤔
Who is at the establishment managing all of these working kids? 🧐
I just got asked for a tip 30 minutes ago picking up a hot-n-ready pizza at Little Caesars...
Lmfao
😂😂😂
One big problem can be seen at minute 3:27. The map shows minimum wage for tipped worker. In Washington State it's $16.28 in 2024 (the map is outdated)--which brings the cost of the food way higher than states that have lower minimum wages for tipped employees (and back of house employees) and the tipping standard is the same or higher than other states in terms of percentage or total bill... Why is there the same tipping standard (percent amplified by price) when people make 5X per hour?
Used to be you only tipped at restaurants or at a salon, now it's EVERYWHERE and so damn annoying
“Buy this ai tool that I don’t use in my videos” lol
For example in 2016 they changed all restaurants to non smoking but I 2015 the restaurant I worked at did all non smoking only on Sundays and customers would literally walk out due to the non smoking but less than a year later it's the norm everywhere they had to adjust
The rest of the world has restaurants too, without this insane over the top tipping. 🤷🏻♂️
Surcharges are ridiculous. The full price should be on the sticker - just raise the prices 20%. Hiding the actual prices should be considered an unfair business practice.
Soon businesses are gonna start asking us to tip the robots that replace the employees
That whole "automated scripting and video editing" is unbelievable. It's basically, "here's free money"
I went to a liquor store and grabbed the bottle and got asked to tip. For what for you checking me out?
Exactly! Same in the restaurants. If you don’t tip, next time they throw your food on the floor in the toilet, before serving to you. Or worse. It’s not necessarily a spit. From the month. They write it in they comments here. That’s why I stopped going to restaurants, and if I have to order in some rear cases I know I have to tip generously. Even though in Japan I went to restaurants all the time, tips are 20% included in the price. And it’s perfectly fine, no humiliation for both sides, no awkwardness, no hatred, all customers are equal, NOONE CAN PAY LESS OR MORE. 20% FOR EVERYONE.
Great video
I don’t tip unless I’m at a sit down restaurant. I’ve also been to restaurants where they have the 18% add on tip and those restaurants in my opinion are the worst ones because they don’t try as hard because no consequences so I don’t go to them.
I'm of the mindset that the company should pay the employees instead of relying on tipping. But yeah, tipping is everywhere now.
I identify as a non tipper 😅
Businesses should pay a living wage of each employee they hire and not dump that on paying customers!! The cost of food is already too high!!!
They get me one time . Once they do the screen roll I will NEVER return. I recently got hit up at a self serve ice cream place ! Really?! No
My Carl’s Jr order was all automated (AI) here in Los Angeles 🤯
8:26 the tip is only impactful BECAUSE the employer does not appreciate or respect their staff enough to actually pay their worth.
Putting a service charge on the check (for sit down service only) would be great, but they need to make it illegal for the company to take the service charge.
I worked at the Blairmount Club and it is the who's who of the area and they would add a service fee and the board members would keep it and he is a prominent Jewelry Store owner. He refused to tell the other members. Let's just say I didn't work there long. It really depends.
Absolutely they should pay people more. And charge more for the food. It would be less than what customers are paying in tips.
I still can't get over the self-checkouts asking for tips.
It isn't my responsibility to pay your light bill. You choose to take that Job knowing it pays tipped wage. That isn't my fault. I tip for good service not because you expect it.
That‘s true but some people got no other choice but relying on those jobs. I‘m sure a big amount of those workers would switch their job to a better pasing one if possible
If 90% of restaurants fail, then it's understandable. You dont hear servers complaining when they have a really good night. If you dont like serving for tips, get a factory job or go to the back of house and start cooking and preping.
businesses have a hard time finding employees. ANd when resturants hire, they either hire a few great employees but majority are meh. and if less people tip, then the employees dont get paid wel. and even if the employee has faith that one day it will turn around, there's no point if they literally cannot afford to get to work. it cost money to get to work. so you need to pay more to keep employees and low retention cost more than high retention. raise the cost of the food create minimum wage, eliminate MANDATORY tipping. now you will have more of the best workers than a bunch of meh workers.
