See... I hate the tipping culture. It's just an excuse for restaurants to pay their own staff shit money.

In England you get minimum wage AT LEAST and the tips are extra. Paying the servers is the business' responsibility NOT the customer

It's the same in Canada. Servers here make minimum wage plus tips!

Some business also add the tips in the bill sometimes

Yup. Same in France. I don't understand either why they don't include taxes in their price. You're supposed to see how much you're gonna actually pay, not resolve a math problem every time you buy something...

It’s stupid. Like here in California you make at least whatever your city’s min wage is. Somewhere between 12-15/hr in my area. Now in Georgia they only have to pay you 2.37 (it’s 2 something I can’t remember now ) per hour. And for those people I don’t care about tipping them. It’s the pizza boys and waitresses here that are making a normal amount who cry because I don’t want to give them my hard earned money because they did their job they already get paid for.

In Canada minimum wage for alcohol servers is less than general minimum wage with the expectation that tips make up the difference.

I quit my job due to rude behavier of my boss last month.i did not have any job last month then my best friend told me about this earning system.i joined and now i am earning $75 per hour working from home ?

And creates this false responsibility on you when they say i survive on tips. Well i survive on a budget and your tip wasn't mentioned anywhere. Worse now they feel entiltled to tips so you will get bad service if you return.
And depending where you live, surviving on tips doesn't mean surviving at all. In my country a waiter will tell that to someone making usd800 a month with kids to feed while the waiter is usually young with no kids making usd800 as well but with tips thats easy 3000 a month (with less hours and usually a much better atmosphere).
Don't get me wrong i tip a lot i just don't like feeling i'm responsible for your pay. thats between you and your boss.

I can't even understand how it can be that way. Customers are workers too and they don't get any tips, they're paid for their hard work so it's not their duty to pay for others basically doing their job as well. America is so f*cked up.

Yeah but we don’t do that in America. If you don’t give a tip you’re basically saying that you don’t think the server should be paid

I really hope he comes in again so you get the chance to spit in his food/drink.
In Sweden you hardly ever leave a tip but that doesn’t mean that I don’t tip when I’m abroad

I waited tables for five years. It didn’t matter how awful a customer was, it never crossed my mind to do anything gross to their food. It’s called integrity. You are disgusting.

Thank you!

So you suggest that waiters spit in customers' food/drink whenever they do something bad ? what a brave way to solve problems...
Totally agree with kricket5

I feel like tips should me built into the price of an item. For ex an item is $20 make it $21 or $22 for dine in. And the $1-2 is the tip.

funny that you think such a small amount is worth them running back and forth for your extra ranch you didn't ask for, or clean up the mess your child makes with the sugar packets and sweeping the floor behind you when you leave napkins and food on the floor. I will pay you 2 dollars to clean my dining room after I eat...

That was just my example. I rarely eat out.

holy cow not an insult what have you done with the real davidfong

If you don't think its enough why not talk to your boss? why accept the job? why is it my responsibility? do you think working in a supermarket pays enough or all the work they do?
The rich have brainwashed the uneducated telling them to fetch for their own salary while the boss racks in the money off of their hard work....oh and be rude to a customer not only you not getting a tip but you will pay for his meall as well.....smh

You should have just said “about 15-20%” and walked away.

Get a real job. People aren’t your employers, they don’t need to pay your wages.

“Get a real job.” Without servers, we wouldn’t have a food industry.

then make sure you never go out to eat and cook your own food since the restuarant workers are not real workers. will help you from being a obese fat fucker then

What crap no one is that stupid, you got trolled, i dont tip either yall carry food and pour drinks , dont deserve a penny

you obviously have never been a server to say crap like that.

He's just one of the new FMLAssholes who joined recently, ignore him, his comments are all basically the same.

Damn. I don't usually comment empathetically but that's aweful. I'm sorry

Mm, see, that is what a tip is, but... that's not the way to explain it, because your boss's failure to pay you for your work is between you, the boss, and the state. It's not the customer's problem.

Next time, try "A tip is a monetary expression of appreciation for a server who did an exceptional job waiting on you. It can also be a way for guests to apologise to the server for boorish behavior exhibited by either themselves or by their dining companions."

The actual definition is To Insure Prompt Service. It should have nothing to do with wages, but sadly, that’s how it usually works.

yap

Was he wearing a MAGA hat?

Probably not. MAGA hat wearers are so cheap, they’ll only go to places where the staff doesn’t speak English.

What difference would it make if he did? For someone commenting about FMLAssholes, the pot is calling the kettle black here. I may not be about MAGA, but attacking political opinions is just sad. But hey, welcome to the minority, FMLAsshole

Except I'm not attacking the poster, and, it was just a joke, frankly.
