Customer Writes LOL Instead Of Leaving A Tip

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I only tip if the waitresses are cute.

...the employer expects the customers to pay their employees' wages as well as the meal they're paying for just so they can put more money in their own pockets. It's sickening...

In the smaller places (local ma and pa joints), the servers tend to make as much, if not more, than the owners.

I tip 15% almost exclusively. Unless I've had mindbogglingly good service, I might go more. I need to actually tip less or not tip if service is bad though. Especially here in Canada. The reason tipping is so prevalent for the food service industry is cause the wage sucks in the States. Canada isn't like that. There's a minimum wage that the food service jobs are in. The fact that people think they should have a job that requires no education and make more money "because of having a family" is sort of infuriating sometimes. I don't get tipped at my job based on if I do a better job I went to school for it, now I make the money based on the supply/demand for my field.

Almost every manufacturing job I've had has had bonuses ( or tips based on my line's performance, if you will).

The profit margins for restaurants aren't that great...

They own and pay large taxes/utilities on their restaurant... or they rent/lease and it's still expensive.

It's not like restaurants are always bustling and filled with patrons. I hate tipping culture and wish it would go away but I understand meal prices would need to go up.

I actually agree with the alternative. I find it strange when I go back to North America and find that it's often cheaper to eat out than it is to cook at home. I would assume it's one of the reasons obesity is so prevalent there.

This is a common trait in non-tipping countries as well.
Running an unsustainable business isnt a good reason to ask for your customers to chip in for their employee wages.

That guy is such a condescending *****

I agree that tipping is dumb. Especially when they call a mandatory service charge a "tip" or a "gratuity". But Adam is a *****

 

[Finnish your Czech]

I tip when appropriate, but I don't like that I have to.

Kind of like the top gear guys are intentionally a-holes, its just a character.

He's playing the condescending know-it-all

"I’ve worked in the service industry for five years and I take pride in providing great service to my customers.â€

I think this is how everyone feels. It's not the fault of the customer that employers don't want to pay their staff a fair wage. I used to wash dishes in a restaurant and they paid me a "student wage", which is less than minimum wage. Is that even legal?

It also meant I couldn't work more than 30 hours per week and I also got tip out money.

It's like if you go into a store to buy a shirt and it costs you 30 bucks. Do you add 15 percent as a tip to the person who helped you pick it out? No, they are doing their job and they get paid an hourly wage to do it.

 

[Goonzilla]

Tipping is tricky, in a country where people are paid proper wages by their employer, sometimes you do or might, sometimes you don't, but you don't have to.

Good service doesn't necessarily mean being in your face every five seconds, because that can actually interfere with your dining experience; most people don't like being schmoozed, goes for salespeople too, but they should be available without too much effort.

I'll generally tip unless the service has been poor, but if you've just been an absolute suck up it's not gonna be much. Just be professional. Trying too hard can just seem insincere, like your only interest is a big or bigger tip, which it might be, but be just a little subtle about it.

With the Minimum wage going up in Alberta.. I don't see any real reason to tip anymore.

Tipping used to be giving a reward for outstanding service.. not mandatory money for late food. You don't give good service you don't get tipped.. period.

it's not a tip per say, but i know the guy i always see when i go to harry rosen gets a commission of all his sales

that's harry rosen tho, so i doubt a lot of places do it, but i know a few upscale ones do

 

[Sens]

If the service is Terrible I tip 3% at the very least... Cover the kickback to the kitchen

Yes, a lot of people in retail work on commission, but it's the employer who pays the commission, not the customer having to add 15% like in restaurants.

Same. Over the years I've actually grown fonder of the idea of not being expected to.

Grass is greener. (Except I've never come across someone who feels the converse as me.)

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

as someone who has worked as a bartender for a while while in school, i will say that i would legit rather not get tipped at all, than get a bad one

getting five dollars on a $200 bill is more insulting than getting nothing tbh

some people just don't tip and i am actually cool with that, but where do you come from that you tip 3%?
