Hi Cred Forums I will be visiting USA in a few months. But i've read that it is obligatory tipping waiters, cab drivers, wallet parking personnel, etc around 15-20%
Is this a must or can i leave the restaurant without leaving a tip? Can i be arrested if i don't want to pay more money unnecessarily? Why do you americans pay more money after you paid for your food/service?
Fuck the rest, but you really should tip in restaurants.
Juan Evans
you dont have to tip if you tip then you are subconsciously bending over for tiny jewish penis
Leo Jackson
Really? Why?
Carter Robinson
Buy and shop for yourself, cook and pour for yourself you filthy peasant.
Samuel Brown
You don't need to tip but its viewed as an insult I've lived in America all of my life and I have never tipped
Brayden Long
i only tip waiters at restaraunts where they bring you your food. and no you cant go to jail.
James Edwards
this but dont stick to the standard % unless the waitress is 10/10 most of those stupid bitches are entitled as fuck
Jack Cox
Everyone swears servers and wait staff make less than minimum wage which by federal law of the united states of america is not legal so you don't have to tip if you don't want to. They still make minimum wage. Even when they complain about it. So fuck em. They feed lies but I've disproved that many a time.
Dominic Perez
Rumor has it that the tipping practice dates back to the great depression when rich sleazebags did it to get better service. Nowadays, it's a justification to severely underpay waiters.
It's stupid and should be ditched, but capitalist dogs gonna be capitalist dogs.
Grayson Wood
you should tip. it is customary and you are a guest.
Don't be cheap
Camden Hughes
Jews are called Skypes now. Niggers are googles
Benjamin Long
In America we don't pay people a full wage. Tipping is similar to not having taxes factored in the list price of consumer goods. By not adding to tip or taxes to the price the consumer sees we can maker people think things are cheaper than they are in reality. It helps keep our consumer focused economy going and enables us to pay slave wages to people in our service industry. Adding the price of a tip plus taxes basically brings artificially reduced prices up to more logical levels.
Leo Richardson
>Can i be arrested
You will probably be at least detained for questioning for being a nervous looking foreigner who seems to worry about trivial shit
Zachary Davis
Tip waiters 15% for average service. Give less if service sucks (or you're Albanian) or more if you're pleased with the service.
Don't bother tipping cabs, they're fucking you anyway. I tip my hairstylist and hired coach drivers (the kind that stay with you for a whole trip). In a nice hotel where they take your bags to the room for you it's normal to give a small tip. Same on a golf course where they load/unload bags for you.
We do it because this is a land of wealth and opportunity and we like to just throw money around. If you don't tip it means you're poor or black (I know, redundant).
Cooper Perry
Are tips taxed as part of your income? If so fuck that.
Jonathan Morgan
Tip BUT only if you get good service, don't let some 17 year old slut feel entitled to your money just because it's "the proper thing to do". If it's shit service then they're getting a shit tip or none at all, that's all there is to it.
Christian Bell
this is true, you are a guest and it really would be rude because it is a custom.
this is really it. wait staff basically gets paid nothing except tips. so if they are good to you, give them 20% max. Shitty to you, give them less, all the way down to 0.
Yeah its a messed up system at its core, but you arent going to change anything by yourself and it makes all the difference to those you are paying.
Jayden Richardson
the USA has a backwards as fuck system when tips are most of the servers wages, unlike most decent countries, they don't have a mandatory minimum wage that's decent.
Here in the UK, a tip- is never expected, it is a reward for genuine good service
You aren't a guest, you are a paying customer! The restaurant provides a service which you in fact pay for. Sure tipping is a nice thing to do, but should never be considered obligatory, thats insane. Do you tip a gas station cashieras well? No! So fuck you!
Lincoln Hill
As it should be. The whole point of a tip is a bit of a bribe to get faster, friendlier service. It shouldn't be my responsibility to pay the majority of someone's wages, but it should be my pleasure to reward them for excellence
Carter Ross
because that is literally the server's wage for the day servers get payed fucking like $4.00 an hour or some shit in some places and make up the rest in tips...
Benjamin Clark
You tip if your not black. Which is why blacks get lousy service.
Jackson Morris
As it should be! Same here in Holland
Logan Adams
you dont tip a cabby unless you ask him to run lights and go fast since he is risking a ticket.
Since you are visiting you dont need to tip them if you dont plan on going back to that restaurant. I honestly dont tip them unless they keep my drink filled. but if you are visiting you shouldnt really be going to just 1 place to eat.
I am also pretty sure this is just a troll thread
Jace Russell
that was abolished like a decade ago in most states, its illegal to pay waiters below minimum wage.
Angel Gray
If they don't make atleast minimum wage in tips, the employer still has to compensate.
>ITT: people who have been waiters vs. people who have had to deal with waiters
Evan Diaz
I used to leave a tip with the bill But after hearing that the company's use the tips to make the basic wage up I just give a little directly to the person to avoid the Jew tactics that company's use U.K. Fag It's just a courtesy I don't tip imagrants tho
Austin Phillips
Isn't because they have AIDS so people don't want to come near them fearing infection?
Kevin Miller
Dubs. Also what kind of bullshit denial are you stewing in faggot? In Michigan most servers make a max of $2.65 an hour. Its a stupid fucking system But if one disapproves of it enough they should just not go to these establishments at all rather than support them and shit on the pawns within the grasp of the portly felines who own and run the companies and shaft them simply because it's easy and they think it makes them more money. Which it doesnt. Kill. You. Yourself. Bury your body in the yard and let your mom cut your head off with the lawnmower. Dipshit.
Alexander Flores
Automatic gratuity was made illegal at least in new york, and rightfully so. I've tipped well a bunch of times but you should never feel you have to. I usually leave 10% if they do okay. It's not a lot.
John Wilson
No actually that's wrong they can be paid under minimum wage because they receive direct tips from the customer
William Walker
>U.K. fag Enough said
Joshua Ortiz
If you tip your a fucking pussy.... they give you a charge for the service and you pay it.... why the FUCK would you want to pay more AFTER you have recieved what you paid for, IN FULL!?!?!?!
Noah Moore
Yes, Japanese friend. When you ask the prostitute to puke in your mouth, she will charge extra (if she does it at all). And yes, if you force her to do it anyways, and don't pay you'll probably get arrested.
Was I the only that to understand what he was saying? You fags are really stupid.
Thomas Murphy
I hate this fucking shit. I pay for food that was provided to me and that's it. If the waiter is really amazing, I give a small tip. But 15 fucking percent? Do I look like a fucking thief? And don't get started on the "lower than minimum wage" bullshit. If they have problems with their income, they should go to their boss or quit and get some serious job. Why on Earth must I give away my money just because everybody says so...
Jonathan Morales
There is an exception in most states allowing tipped employees to be paid less
Jace Fisher
Federal law trumps state law.
Isaac Miller
Around 15% is customary. The reason you should tip is because they pay these people dink, tips are the majority of their income.
Only tip if the service is good. If your waiter/waitress checks on you often, refills your drinks, and is friendly/courteous.
Also, always tip in cash. Some places (although illegal) will shaft their employees on their earnings.
>Don't bother tipping cabs, they're fucking you anyway. This. The majority of cabbies are rude pricks anyway. >In a nice hotel where they take your bags to the room for you it's normal to give a small tip. Same on a golf course where they load/unload bags for you. Also this.
William Lewis
Just like here in Germany and other countries
Jason Cox
>$4 per hour
I make almost thrice that working part time minimum wage in my country as waiter. How the fuck is that even legal?
Connor Carter
i worked at a restaurant as a food runner and was paid $5.00 an hour plus tips for 7 months. you have no idea what you're talking about.
Leo Roberts
It isn't. If you're being paid less than minimum wage and don't make enough in tips to bring you above, the employer is legally obligated to make up the difference.
Nathan Ramirez
Higher class places will charge you a gratuity of 15-20% if you're with a huge group, which can be seen as mandatory tipping.
Aside from that, it's just a way of saying thanks that isn't totally vapid for when the service person actually seemed to give more than half a fuck about you.
If you're young and student aged, then tipping is even more meaningful, because you probably don't have the same kind of money free, but not tipping is also way more understandable.
If you're wearing a business jacket and the waitress never once let your coffee get near empty, then not tipping makes you a giant prick though.
As for the system as a whole, some states even have fucked up laws where employees that can be tipped can be legally payed less than minimum wage, with the expectation that tips can make up the difference. So not tipping is not just rude, it's an employees livelihood.
Jaxon Ward
your fault for not reporting them
Wyatt Bell
If you don't tip, you're sending a message that the service was shit
Jaxon Wood
false, the company has to pay up to minimum wage if they don't make it in tips.
Jayden Torres
In my country, waiter get paid $1 per hour n nobody give shit about tipping
Dominic Reyes
usa is controlled by businesses so a waiter is paid under minimum wage because they expect the rest to be paid by tips. so unfortunately you should tip but nothing will happen if you don't
Carter Long
Dude, if you need someone to park your wallet for you, you can probably afford a tip.
Owen Bell
this is false. paying minimum wage would not inflate prices at all, or even if it did, maybe by no more than $1.00 a plate. restaurant prices are pretty insane, and theres really no reason that a person taking and order for and dropping off a plate of lobster deserves to make less than a person doing literally the same work for a burger. percentage tipping is complete bullshit, and so is the lie that prices would go up by the same amount.
Ryder King
You will not be in any trouble if you do not leave a tip. You are tipping for the service. Waiters and other service people are paid a very small wage. This is how rich owners can stay rich and poor workers can remain like slaves. I would not return to the same place after not leaving a tip. It is a good way to get someone to spit in your food or take you a long way in. Taxi. Leave a small tip, ten percent is OK for a foreigner!
Lincoln Peterson
if a server does not make enough in tips to supplement their given wage (which is less than normal minimum due to the expectation of tips bringing it equal or above the standard minimum) to reach the standard minimum wage, the company/restaurant is LEGALLY OBLIGATED to compensate and make sure they were payed the standard minimum wage for their time. therefor, if they have a problem with a shitty minimum wage job and cant make ends meet, thats their own fault for not finding something better. "they're paid less than minimum wage" is not a valid argument.
Colton Morgan
I'm English, when I was 19 I went to New York with some friends, I was ignorant of the tipping meme, thinking it was literally just a joke that Americans *have* to tip
Anyway, we ate at some place, paid the bill and walked out. The water literally blocked the door and said "where's my tip?"
The service was completely average so I didn't even think of it, my friend thought he was joking so he said something like here's your tip don't wear flared trousers in a revolving door
So the waiter calls us a cunt and goes back into the kitchen, we're confused and walk off, about 10 seconds later we're being chased by 3 guys from the restaurant yelling down the street at us saying "pay you're fucking bill" and "no tip scabs"
This was about a decade ago but we still laugh about the fat Americans chasing us now.
Rest of the trip we just went to fast food because for some reason it's weird to tip them
Brandon Rodriguez
And in Denmark. Only the U.S is this fucked up
Nicholas Morales
You should be sold into slavery.
Cameron Johnson
America is a shithole, dont come here. Literally anywhere is better. Dont tip if you dont want to, but I wouldnt go back to that restaraunt afterwards unless you enjoy spit in your food. But really dont come here stay where you are just a fair warning
Grayson Sanchez
While this is true, feel free to try and find a single business that will honor this. You can't, because servers/waiters don't make enough to hire a lawyer to fight it.
Angel Moore
oh yes, because god forbid somebody tells the truth.
Bentley Taylor
Go get your own food
Easton Jackson
who needs a lawyer to fight for math? lmao. you could bring in the time sheets, receipts, and the sheet of your earnings for the night to your local police department and they'll tell the restaurant to fix it or face a court date. what are you, retarded? black? both? its not hard to get treated with respect when you're smart and white.
Isaac Watson
I don't get the spit mindset
Imagine I was selling you a car. You asked for a definite price, I say it's only 10 grand.
You pay me 10 grand, I get angry and slash the tires and shit in the glove box because it wasn't 12 grand
What the fuck is up with that. Literally destroying the product wouldn't be tolerated in any other profession, why are waiters such children they think it's ok in America?
Gabriel Gonzalez
Found the highschool drop out waiter, kek. Get a real job, or actually do yours well enough that people tip you generously.
Justin Nelson
i usually do. and when i feel lazy or crave some certain flavor/dish and go out to eat, i usually tip $3-5 flat regardless of what i order because % tipping is retarded.
Ethan Peterson
>go get your own food >get paid for job >boss doesn't pay you well >nah this isn't the bosses problem >who can I blame >the customers are at fault im paid badly >my boss dindu nuffin
Sebastian Brown
You've obviously never worked as a waiter.
Adam Perry
Because theyre greedy americans, dont ask me man I tried to say America was a shithole, full of shitty people and shitty cities and shitty everything I would rather be african
Oliver Clark
why? i've been gone for a couple of days and now i keep seeing this
William King
Florida is close to $1.75/hr but the server also gets taxed 10% of the bill. If you eat 50 dollars of food, the server is taxed 5 dollars.
If that server gets no tip, then they paid $3.25 cents to serve you for an hour, with the hourly wage + taxes on your bill.
Ryan Ward
Oil field inspector for 14 years, still care about servers in shitty entry level positions that have to put up with entitled yuppies like you.I wonder how much spit you've consumed?
Aiden Ramirez
None because I enjoy cooking and make my own food. I'm not a fat mouth breather that eats out every night. Kek why lie on the internet.
Lucas Scott
>the server gets taxed 10%.
You're joking right? Who the fuck works as a waiter. You're literally better off at McDonald's
Gabriel Rogers
That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard...
Andrew Allen
So in America, waiters are literally beggars?
They literally beg for their money?
How is begging for money after bringing you food any different then begging for money after they clean your windscreen at a traffic stop
What the fuck America
Jayden Ward
kill yourself, scumbag. go drink some bleach.
Hunter Diaz
>americans are expected to tip even if the service was shitty
Daniel White
Waiter are the niggers of the working world, second only to fast food workers, and even then fast food workers get a better deal.
Jayden Barnes
American dream
Nathaniel Brown
lol trump
Jordan Jones
Tip at least 10% unless the server is actively shitty or unfriendly.
The tip system is meant to be a direct incentive for good service. The premise is sound although quite abused. Such is life.
>tl;dr tip or prepare for some more sunshine units
Julian Parker
employers are still free to screw waiters.
you come in m,w,f. On monday and wednesday the place is dead and you make nothing. On Friday you have a good day and make good tips.
When your employer cuts you a check at the end of the week he averages Fridays tips into Monday and Wednesday and calls it good.
You have basically worked three days to get paid one.
Camden Peterson
...
Tyler Hall
yes, that is basically correct.
there is one difference between waiters and beggars though, waiters have to pay taxes on their tips
Robert Collins
The fuck. 2.75 oklahona
Logan Thompson
yes. For example a football player went to a restaurant, was ignored for an hour and a half, the food came out and it was not only cold, it was not what he had ordered.
He tipped 75c and the waitress went to twitter to print the receipt as revenge.
Jacob Morris
Let's compare base pricing user.
Being a waiter or waitress is an entry-level job that basically any person in the US can get if they're willing to work. It's on the low side of a living wage but doable.
Jayden Morgan
That didn't happen faggot
Jordan Clark
Tip if you think they deserve it, dubs.
Luke Lewis
In america, where people tip 15 to 20% waiters make a good living.
serve 4 tables an hour at an average of 50$ a table and you are making more than 40$ an hour.
If nobody is there you still have to clean, sweep etc, only now you are paying for the privilege.
Austin Foster
Black
Nathan Ramirez
And you're probably a hobo nigger
Julian Thomas
Here in New Zealand tipping is pretty much non existent. Most people (I've noticed) turn down tips anyway.
Logan Torres
You're free to choose whether or not to tip. I only tip for food service, and only if the service is good. Then again, I'm in uni and really on a budget
Dylan Morris
no, but i have worked in restaurants with nice white people that have respect and dignity and actually follow rules and laws.
Lincoln Moore
this is an outright lie. go troll somewhere else you pathetic retard.
Tyler Fisher
so mad over truth, lol. how dare i speak truth?
Levi Cruz
waiters at any decent restaurant (like, not a diner like denny's or something) can make over $100 in a night. i watched this happen repeatedly in a red lobster when i worked there. if you're smart about your finances, it really isnt bad money, especially for the time put in. however, most of those same servers would go out that night and blow 40-60 on booze and then whine about how broke they are. such is culture.
James Wilson
Do americans tip fast food workers? Like the people who serve you at McDonalds
Andrew Hughes
beggars make about 15 to 30$ an hour, so very much in line with waiters
Blake Campbell
no tipping in fast food restaurants
Andrew Torres
if theres a jar/box on the counter next to the register, sometimes people leave their spare change from the transaction, or maybe a $1 bill. it usually depends on whether the people working are happy, energetic, clean, knowledgable, and they get your order made right and clean and in a timely fashion. if the place is a shithole (likely) then probably not, unless you just dont want to carry coins around.
Sebastian Sanchez
I ALWAYS tip after my afternoon big mac
Julian Ramirez
It's foreign guy who doesn't get it, everyone. Hello, foreign guy who doesn't get it.
God forbid people actually have incentive to provide a good service.
Xavier Torres
$4.00 an hour? Fuck I used to serve in delaware and I made $2.28 an hour. Wish I could find a check to prove it... waiting in this country is a joke
Jason Robinson
Immigrant here. been in U.S about 3-4 years.
Americans are so stingy about their tip. They argue that their salary doesn't cover all expenses and therefore must rely on tip to break even.
Some places here add a service charge to their bill, I don't tip if it's already included.
Also cuz I'm broke af I usually tip only 10%
Carson Green
You see friend, the problem is you are going to the united states. Everything is ass backwards there. Here in Canada and the majority of the first world, a tip is a bonus that is not mandatory, if you genuinely enjoyed a server, taxi ride or whatever then you give them a tip. People tend to remember people who are nicer and as such if you visit a place often you would find yourself with the same server more often you dig my dude?
TL;DR, tip if you are nice and enjoyed the service. If the person is a shitty cunt, don't tip super easy.
Jaxon Wright
Why did you take a shit job like that, faggot?
Josiah Young
I worked as a server, only shitty servers complain about working for tips. I worked two nights a week and made enough to support myself through college.
Gavin Jackson
>yurofag >been to chicago once for like 2 weeks >was well aware of the tipping system >never spent a single dollar on tipping >every restaurant, cab, bar or whatever >I never tipped
fuck america
Ian Thomas
>Eurotrash >dosent tip
Thomas Ward
>all the way down to 0.
You never go all the way down to zero. That's the sort of thing that gets your food spit in next time you eat there.
Michael Ward
>tipping mandatory look here buddy, we are civilized over her and mandatory tipping wont fly say no to the tipmafia
yes i tip if i like the place and treatment
William Fisher
>next time
Jaxson Jenkins
Alright faggets listen up, chef for 10 years here. I know for a fact waitstaff make around $3- $5 an hour. (the latter if they've been there a long time) They literally make their living in tips and it's how restaurants can stay in buisness here in murica. It's shit I know. That said, what you're tipping for is the SERVICE, so if your waiter is attentive and checks on you, gives great info about the food, keeps your drinks topped off, and generally kicks ass, then their tip should be higher. Generally if the food comes out wrong or takes a long time it's not their fault. However, if you see the server fucking off while they should be putting in / getting your or someone else's food, then you're within your rights to tip less. Also, if you're in a party of 6 people or more, expect gratuity, and then a tip. The gratuity is to ensure the waiter (s) get something. I cannot tell you how many times some sunday church crowd of 20 fuckers rolled in and tipped 0 dollars.
Levi Ross
Dont tip, its not your job to pay a companies employees
Noah Adams
Don't tip and don't give a fuck. It's the American way.
Isaac Nelson
The minimum wage for waiters is like 4 bucks an hour yo. Probably not smart to talk about a profession you have no idea about
Daniel Bennett
Cheffag here, yes it's counted as income, and if the server doesn't make enough they end up OWING taxes. What's worse is if they claim wrong they can get in trouble with the irs.
Jose Bennett
And if you complain about getting payed less because youre a server and need the money its called FIND ANOTHER FUCKING JOB
Lincoln James
how about your save your ticket we dont need your tourist fuck heads messing up murica
Henry Robinson
Agreed
Joseph Price
Checked, and also no, it's because they generally feel they're entitled to not tip "because of how much money they spent". Granted, this applies to all walks of lower class and douchbaggery alike.
Ethan Lee
15% is find for average or decent service. Tip less if they were subpar, nothing if they were ass. It's a common belief that you foreigners dont tip because you're rude, but really some of us understand you dont have that. We also understand you seem disinterested in your server, and that's as we understand it because you're assholes to your own servers back home.
Jacob Nelson
I would love to hear why that is user. Have they done away with the under minimum wage?
Brayden Gonzalez
This thread is just another reason that the United States of Shitcunts is the worst first-world country in the world.
William Hughes
>They literally make their living in tips That's their problem for accepting such a shitty wage.
Ryder Bailey
If you cannot aford to tip, then learn how to cook. You'll get more food that way.
Daniel Bennett
You're fucking retarded. Minimum wage is minimum wage. State by state, you can pay employees that earn tips less than that states minimum wage (under the assumption they will make more than minimum wage when they make the tips too --- because tips are taxed as income and not gratuity (a slight of hand to allow states to snag tax money, but only if they merge the concepts of wage and tips together, which is nonsense, but I digress)) BUT if they don't make in total more than minimum wage (ie: wage + tips) the employer is on the hook for the balance.
Nobody is going hungry just because you don't tip. If you choose a shit job that pays shit, that's your own problem, if all else goes to shit, you will get the minimum wage for the state you live in.
Worse still... this is a state by state thing, each having their own nuances... so... yeah... you're a fucking idiot.
Julian Stewart
I'm not paying more than i have to. The waitress gets paid for her labour, its not my job to pay her. If the minimum wage is too low then that's the governments fault or the fault of the employer. I'm not going to supplement someones wage when that's not my job. I've already paid for the food and service. However, if service is excellent i will tip but that's if the server goes way beyond the call of duty. Call me a heartless cunt.
John Moore
So every server should quit. That will totally work user, you are not a fag.
Daniel Clark
Amen, brother.
Gabriel Cruz
Yes or ask for a proper wage.
Luis Davis
Maybe if they didn't take the jobs the restaurant industry would wake the fuck up and pay them properly
David Stewart
They will either be laughed at or fired. Looks like you solved the problem user, and are still totally not a fag.
Joshua Fisher
Still not my problem. I'm not tipping to supplement someone's shitty career choices.
Lucas Long
Nah man, dont even see why this is a big deal... its just a custom here, just like any country has customs. And generally, when you travel outside of your country it is understood that you will at least try and not draw attention to yourself by disregarding local etiquette.
i mean, its only an extra 10% if you really didnt think they were up to snuff... maybe 9 or 8% as a subtle "you suck"
Owen Flores
Number one: Don't come here. You are not fucking welcome. We have enough illegal aliens and niggers already. We're full. You can crash in Cuba if you want.
Number two: I know in like any other 'country' everyone is so poor they can barely afford to eat out let alone tip, but here in America (only REAL country on Earth) we tip our servers. Makes us feel better than the shit heel servants who bring our food. It's like allowing a slave to lick the crumbs off your table after you and the other white people eat your meal. So if you do make it across the border (where me and my revolver will be waiting to send you back to whatever third world shithole you call a homeland) yes fucking tip everyone if for no other reason than having the privilege of setting foot on American soil. Number Three: Reply to this post or your mother will die in her sleep tonight. (also will be raped by AIDS infested niggers)
Nathaniel Watson

Connor Parker

Carson Murphy
Eurofag, laughing my ass off here. I'm never leaving tip, feels good man
Julian Wright
Fuck em.
I delivered pizzas when I was studying and didn't expect tips, but was grateful when I got them because I was using my own fuel, delivering to strangers houses at midnight in the rain and cold and regularly getting into dodgy situations.
Waiters write down an order, walk a few meters to pick it up, walk another few meters to plonk it down and are expected to simply smile and be friendly.
Hardly deserving of a fucking extra bit of coin.
Sebastian Butler
lulz
Nathaniel Butler
Americheffag here, we know you won't, so we don't have fucks when you come around.
Jose Stewart
As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for some time now thats not really accurate. Most of the servers where i work make 3.50-4$/hr but often leave with 100-200 cash in tips which is much more than they would have made even with a higher wage
Samuel Collins
spot the amerifat.
Elijah Myers
Yes, you have to tip in the US. Waiters, bartenders, "wallet" parking people, barbers/hairstylists.
It's stupid and unnecessary, but that's the USA. It's another way the government tilts things in favor of owners and employers and against workers and employees. The burden of paying the waiter an actual wage is shifted OFF of the employer and onto the customer, who then doesn't even have any actual legal obligation to pay it.
No, you won't go to jail for not tipping. Everyone will just think you're a giant asshole and want you to go back to wherever the fuck you came from.
Alexander Ross
This.
As a non american I thought it would be an issue but the reason tipping is so necessary there is because wages are so low. It actually balances out when you realize the food has lower base cost because the wait staff aren't getting a cut.
Austin Allen
Isn't it funny how you always hear about the good times, but almost never hear about sunday through thursdays tips?
Liam Ross
You tip for good service.
At least, in theory. Wait staff get about $3 an hour. So tips are what they rely on to survive.
If you listen to the restaurant owners, it's to ensure the wait staff are providing the best service possible, because shitty service=no $.
But in reality it's so the restaurant can keep costs lower
And if you don't tip, it's not illegal, but understand you just made sure that waiter didn't get any money from your meal.
Jaxon Reyes
not sure if troll or not
Isaac Torres
Its certainly not always that good and where i work is nit necessarily representative but thats fairly average for the place im working now, its an upscale place in the rich part of town.
Wyatt Sanders
I can afford to tip, just have zero intention to do so. And the waiter is going to withhold the food I paid for?
Cameron Gomez
>BUT if they don't make in total more than minimum wage (ie: wage + tips) the employer is on the hook for the balance.
Thinking that this actually happens 100% of the time is being willfully ignorant.
Owen Carter
>So tips are what they rely on to survive.
but that's wrong you retard. please see:
Landon Sanchez
depends how you get the bill, if its brought on a plate (when i was younger my step dad used to leave a few quid for whoever brings the bill)
also depends where you go, i took my gf to wetherspoons for our anniversary and had to pay upfront so no chance of tipping, not that i would of
Asher Sanchez
If the waiter is bad. I don't tip. If they are mediocre I give them 15% if they are good I will tip 20%. Now I hate the idea of mandatory tipping. If you need tips to get by then maybe you should get a better job that pays you enough.
Elijah Martin
Way to over simplify the job. The majority of their income is tips. Imagine working 5 tables at once and not being tipped... fuck off.
Gavin Miller
I just hope, for your sake, that you never eat at the same place twice.
Adrian Perez
tip could have very well been left on the table.
Kayden Thomas
If all servers stopped getting tipped, they wouldn't work. If no one is serving food, no one goes out for food.
stfu
Oliver Kelly
i know but since we got the minimum wage law, if they dont like it they cant quit
only reason i took the job i have is cos of that law being passed
Xavier Bell
you realize most states have ot give 10 an hr min wage PLUS tips? servers in cali make upwards of 20 an hr because of the tips ... lol for walking a plate to me .. i dont think so no in some states where they make 1.50 an hrs plus tips = 10 an hr ... sure ill tip
Grayson Gutierrez
>Taking your girl to spoons for an anniversary
Boy you sure went all out
Dominic Price
In the US if you don’t tip, people are not going to be very nice to you in certain situations. If you drink in a cash bar you won’t get served more than a couple drinks if you’re not tipping. The best restaurants you can get away with not tipping in would be Chinese. They don’t tip well either. But if you go out to a nice restaurant and don’t tip in the US you’ll get dirty looks and it would be a bad idea to go back.
Jason Brooks
it's all i could afford at the time, taking her away in a few weeks, sadly we both work cos we aint niggers so not a lot we could do about it
Grayson Cooper
What do you do when you go to a bar? Bartenders don’t serve non tippers.
Kayden Morales
in cali they actualy have to or they loose their job .. rofl
Connor Perry
^^^ not an actual argument. Try harder with an actual cogent thought next time.
Jaxon Diaz
Don't worry, I don't live in a backwards craphole like America.
Evan Martin
I’m a bartender in California. You don’t know what you’re talking about. If you don’t tip I decide you’re too drunk and call the bouncer over and that’s that.
Julian Perez
Most states? Name some.
Mason Bell
Nice dubs, but this is a state by state thing... most of the people in this thread are retarded. In some states, it's minimum+tips, in others it's minimum-projectedtip+difference. What can be said without a doubt is that I don't know of a state that knowingly allows for any job to be paid less than minimum wage (be it, minimum wage, minimum wage - tips, or otherwise).
Hudson Cruz
I prefer my beers without the bartender's mucus and pubes though
Hunter Phillips
and I work at a restaurant in cali if any of my staff didn't do their job that we pay them for because they didn't get tipped extra money they'd get fired and sued for loosing me business and revenue quit pretending like you know what the fuck your talking about
Jordan Wood
Virginia
Brandon Wilson
cali wa co oregon all have to pay 10 an hr plus tips some bartenders and servers can make 20 an hr with good tipping
Samuel Harris
Think about it this way. They get 3 an hour not counting tips, that's 24 for ann8 hour day. No tips that gets bumped up to minimum, which for instance is 7.25 here, so let's say 58 bucks, before taxes. That's 1,160 a month before taxes. Rent in the house I live in is 1200. Per month, they can't pay this rent. Without tips.
With tips, let's say about 100, that makes 2480 a month, which pays for bills and rent and food fairly safely.
Jaxson Wilson
Maybe they should find a different job then?
Leo Cruz
protip casinos can pay less than min wage because their on sovereign land and count tips as income
Benjamin Davis
what if you pay with just the tip
Gavin Edwards
Of course it is. You probably don't give a shit about them, but certainly most illegal aliens who are working in the service industry aren't being reimbursed.
Dylan Long
How is it an incentive for good service if you tip AFTER your meal you fucking retard?
Zachary Martin
With good tipping
Matthew White
There is only 2 states in the usa where you can rent an apt and live ok on min wage ;)
Kayden Lee
If I order a meal that works out to being $90 with a bottle of special $1000 wine, the server puts forth no more effort than if it was a $10 bottle of wine, am I really expected to tip $160 dollars??
Easton Jenkins
A bartender in a restaurant isn’t the same thing as a regular bar. They have no power. They have managers etc. In a regular bar you have no recourse if a bartender wants to get rid of you. If you work in a corporate restaurant you should kill yourself. A high class joint or a small business wouldn’t let their staff be abused by non tippers or shitty customers. But yeah, if you work at a Chilis or an Olive Garden then you have to kiss the customer’s ass. Thank god I work in a real bar.
Lincoln Cox
Oh no it would be like having a REAL job!
Ryan Williams
You make them work harder to serve you in order to earn a better tip. It makes them want to work harder, which means if you get legitimately great service and don't tip, you just made them work harder for no reason
Chase Bennett
You're not going to get arrested for not tipping but depending on where you go, if you frequently eat there and dont tip well you wont get very good service, it's shit but service gets pissed at you rather then their bosses for underpaying them.
I dont tip unless they were really great with service which is pretty rare but I'm not gonna pay for something that they are hired to do, it sucks that they dont get paid much but if i tip then it just continues.
Colton Peterson
You will not suffer any harm from NOT tipping.
It is a moral complex.
If you do not want to tip then you do not have to tip anywhere.
There is nothing wrong with not tipping.
Jacob Myers
If the service was shit then no.
Kayden Robinson
this, 1000x this. Go to college and learn a skill to make your living.
Dominic Mitchell
You can’t get mad at your boss for not paying you enough. They’ll just replace you with someone else.
Isaiah Perez
thank god youll be fired the seconed the owner finds out your loosing them hella revenue beacuse poor little you didnt get his tips tonight when on good nights you can go home with 600 in tips for an 8 hr shift yet your bar already makes fat profit off the liquor sold
Cameron Hall
If everyone went to college and got a skill to make a living, who would do the service jobs genius?
Daniel Hill
No it doesn't. They KNOW they're going to get 15% at least anyway so they don't give a flying fuck about doing their job well. They've made the culture so everyone has to cry about how sad and pathetic these poor waiters raising 10 kids on a less than minimum wage salary have to suffer so if you don't tip you're literally taking the foot out of their children's mouth and kicking them in the head. There is NO incentive to tip.
Justin Sanders
i think this has already been shown not to really work. good waiters don't pay attention to their tips much. some people will tip well, others badly. the vast majority will tip about the same. it usually evens out in the end. so you just do your job well and don't think about tip chasing.
Customers like to think it makes a big difference because they like the power trip.
Gavin Moore
I've worked in gastronomy alot here in germany and tipping is not very common, but when it is it is always to round up the price. Like for example, if someone orders 3 beers for 9,90€ total, they always will round up to 10€. Not much of a difference but money is money. But i myself do not often tip people, it depends on how nice their service was towards me or how good/fast they've worked like in a restaurant. But all in all, i wouldn't tip someone 15-20% of what i have to pay just because their bosses refuse to pay them better. It is not my job to support those people, it's their bosses job to do that.
Robert Hughes
The retards who deserve minimum wage. Duh.
Ryan Scott
In America, the rich billionaires and oligarchs have convinced everyone that tipping is socially and financially necessary, so that they can pay their slaveworkers less and idiot Americans make up the difference.
It's really funny, and they will argue like fuck with anyone who tries to explain it to them.
Pathetic yanks, they're so divided and argumentative between themselves that they're easy for the oligarchs to rule over - divide and conquer personified.
William Hall
I do the same thing, If I'm by myself and my bill is 10.34 Ill round it to 11.00 or some number by .25 cents.
Evan Wilson
When I visit the United States the only ones I tip regularly are their hookers
Just the tip though
Easton Green
So you tip 15%? Most people don't tip that much. Average tends to be about 5%, if at all in some cases. A good number of people don't tip, and some even skip out on bills, which is charged to the waitress. Usually one every other day, more in worse neighborhoods. 15% is just the suggested amount. Not what actually happens
Aiden Ortiz
The owner trusts a good bt with their money, property, and inventory. I’ve been in the same bar for 12 years. You don’t know what you’re talking about. In a good bar the owner wants you to get rid of bad customers and keep the one’s that are good for moral. I work in a slammed bar. People have to wait to get their drinks and the people that are not tipping are not lost revenue because there are dozens of other people to take their place. Any good bartender prioritizes customers based on many factors. Cheapskates and annoying drunks go to the bottom of the list. If they don’t like it they can go somewhere else. We dispense a mind altering substance and our license depends on us not over serving someone. A bartender will never get in trouble for cutting someone off. So if someone’s not tipping, I just say they’re too drunk. I never mention the tipping.
Not what happens is people tipping 5% or skipping out on the bill with any regularity. 15% is the socially accepted norm.
Mason James
If you really feel like tipping, just give them $5, no matter the cost. If not then fuck it
Aiden Ramirez
This. That's how it's supposed to be done. Don't tip for bad service. Tip 10-15% for average service, and 20% for amazing service. And in rare cases, I've tipped up to 30. Mainly because I had been flirting and got her number.
Matthew Bell
>it usually evens out in the end. so you just do your job well and don't think about tip chasing.
But if you're a regular who tips well you'll get outstanding service. Servers will often fight over who gets to serve you if you tip above and beyond.
Example: A long while ago I went to a diner at which I eat regularly. It was around 10PMish and the waiter I happened to get was new. Whatever. I'm a patient guy. He didn't know the menu yet but he busted his balls as best as he could to serve us right. I tried to tip him $10 and he went to give me my change back. I told him "Nah man, that's all you I saw how hard you worked." Well let me tell you something. For the next year and a half till he was fired for drinking on the job I got some tip fucking top service.
Oliver Torres
You don't have to, but you'll seem like an asshole. If you get good service, it's good to tip. Most waitresses recieve less than minimum wage (my friend makes $4 an hour. her pay is mostly in tips), so there is that. Our system is fucking idiotic. If you take an Uber, not a cab, you don't have to tip. If you stay in a hotel and leave a huge mess for housekeeping, you should tip. If it's just a messy bed sheet, it's unnecessary. Resturants and taxi cabs are you only places you shoyld really tip, unless you think you can take the taki guy on in a fight. Those people are unpredictable and terrifying. Take an uber.
James Nguyen
Gf works as a server. I am fully aware of what happens. Socially accepted doesn't mean people actually do it.
Liam Rodriguez
It's ok, housekeeping will simply rob you if you don't tip at least $20 a day you SACK OF SHIT NONTIPPING CUNT MOTHERFUCKER
Parker White
my bf works as a server and he tells me that you're full of shit and maybe your gf should sotp working at applebees.
Liam Reyes
Also food for thought. Delivery usually takes 30-40. I started tipping delivery drivers 20%. My food arrives within 15-20 minutes now
Logan Ross
Fucking Americans can't get off their asses to work more so they expect us foreigners to pay for them. smh
Luke Taylor
There's not even an Applebee's in this town. She works at a steakhouse and bar.
Kevin Mitchell
Delivery drivers insist that they have to pay for gas and depreciation on their car and if you don't tip at least 40% you're a pile of shit and deserve to burn.
Most countries don't take people who "stopped looking" out of the unemployment equation.
John Cooper
>leaving shit in the hotel room Do people actually do this?
Ryder Kelly
Wrong again. 0 for 2. Want to keep guessing and strike out?
Gavin Lewis
You must be trolling... nobody could be as daft as to argue about fringe illegal acts in a conversation about wage.
Mason Richardson
Complete idiot. Yes, they make minimum wage, but at the restaurant's expense. How many times do you think an empower is going to make up the difference to $7.25 before they fire you. Unfortunately, we have to tip to keep them employed. Personally, I don't mind tipping at all. I tip every person who does things for me. (i.e. Clean my suits, clean my house, wash my car, park my car, get my food, mix my drinks) It's just an expense of life. If you cannot afford to tip or don't intend to based on some retarded moral code, tell your waitress next time you go out to eat, before you order.
Jeremiah Wright
>unproven quantitative claim if they stopped looking then they don't really need a job, so why worry about them?
Cooper Rogers
Wrongful termination suit against a big company... where do I sign up?!
Thomas Wilson
Not him, but just because they gave up looking for a job doesn't mean they don't drain the economy. Welfare checks and such

Luis Myers

Aiden Thompson

James Clark

Cameron Adams
There is no mandatory tipping, that's why it's called a tip. That being said unless you were given sub par service it's considered rude/cheap not to tip at a sit down restaurant/diner. I don't go by %. I give them a couple bucks give or take depending on service
Leo Wilson
>I've disproved that many a time disprove it here you stupid faggot
Juan Gutierrez
Obviously you did when you tried to accuse me of bullshitting. Fact is, what happens happens. And it's common enough you can guess who will tip and who won't tip.
Ryder Mitchell
he's not denying it folks. What else did Hannity say last night that now forms the entirety of your opinion?
Joseph Wright
It is expected for there to be a tip for basically any personal service. Haircuts, massages, personal transportation, waiter/waitress, bartenders, bellhops, doormen, mechanics.
Just about the only time you don't tip is if someone is working a cash register. If the person helping you is using a cash register, skip the tip unless they're doing you a personal favor or went above and beyond the call of duty.
That said, you can just skip the tip pretty much whenever you want, but if you do, then don't expect good service if you ever come back.
Joshua Martinez
He said... you're a stupid fucking shitfag.
Luis Garcia
Don't watch news often. Only time I watch news is for certain things, such as weather or political issues, and I always fact check the political issues. Everyone has a bias and I don't trust any news company trying to force said bias on me.
Camden Martin
This is true, however, food service providers have their own little clause in what "minimum wage" is for them. It's generally about half of what the state minimum wage is for everyone else.
Jayden Jackson
lol cute, I'm just glad kids like you aren't old enough to vote this election
Nathan Bell
>still not backing up his claim you're bad at this aren't you?
Daniel Edwards
How much tip money do you get for for your job? Me, as a nurse, I get about 0. But being the only straight male in a world full of fags and women, the free pussy is my tip. All the cheating and fucking around saved me hundreds if not thousands on hooker money
Elijah Clark
Also
Is not
Dylan Clark
...
Hudson Mitchell
Also, even though employers are legally obligated to make up the difference towards the state's standard minimum wage if they don't make enough in tips, it's a good way to get on the bad side of your employer and be terminated at the first opportunity.
Ayden Flores
BINGO! This guy gets it.
Cameron Nelson
Typical Bernie supporter.
Bentley Foster
are you fucking retarded? A bernie supporter would want them paid a fair wage and NOT be reliant on tips you moron.
Jordan Hernandez
I only tip at places that I'm going to go back to, like for example the pizza place I go to once a week. And even at that I don't tip 100% of the time
Adrian Nelson
Something similar happened to me where I was chased out of the restaurant.
>Sir! Sir! You forgot to tip!
Such a bizarre system and other Americans I talked to about it seemed to blindly accept it.
>Oh! But they're poorly paid and it's your duty to make up their wages.
I really don't get this logic, and why does it apply to some jobs but not others? Fucking 'Muricans, man.
Jeremiah Russell
Why the hell not? Construction companies are quite unhappy with Doland Chump's plan to deport all the 'cans because that's where a large amount of the labor force comes from.
Cameron Peterson
cheapskate piece of shit
Christian Perry
That is such bullllllshit.
Leo Flores
Must be a nigger cuz niggers never tip they think everything is owed to them
Dylan White
The US is a maggot country and i'd sooner wipe my ass with their flag then stand before it
Benjamin Davis
Why do you goddamn hollandfags always have to announce where youre from? I literally see no one else doing that take your shit country and fuck off back to your muslim infested shithole.
Jason Perry
HA! This is actually true. When I was a waiter in NYC, black people NEVER EVER tipped. If we saw a black family seating we would play rock paper scissors to decide who the poor bastard to take them would be.
They were always super picky, always making a fuss trying to get a free meal and being disruptive (ruining the dining experience for everyone else), always wanting to talk to a supervisor, and never tipped.
Holy fuck I hate black people.
Ian Bennett
Well thats just like your opinion man. Hollandfag here btw.
Elijah Morales
I only tip whites, anyone else can fuck off and die preferably.
If my waiter/waitress is black I vandalize my table, the venue deserves it for employing googles
If you notice, welfare rates tend to rise and the labor force participation rate drops. Causation? Maybe maybe not. But it is more than a mere coincidence.
Jaxson Edwards
Literally no link between them.
Gabriel Young
I just don't feel like I should be obligated to tip. It's supposed to be a kind gesture not "gimme my money or I'll spit in your food". And as long as people keep giving tips as a thing they have to do then employers are just going to keep underpaying them. It's a constant loop of "we give tips because they're employers underpay them" and "they're employers underpay them because we give tips". The only reason I tip is because of their great service or I'm going to be back so I don't want spit in my food
Jose King
Shit skin sighted
Nolan Martin
Oh so the people who are on welfare without working arebon the unemployment rate only, even tho the number of people unemployed is less than the number on welfare by a significant amount?
Austin Roberts
>Why on Earth must I give away my money just because everybody says so... Because you live in a democracy, where the laws are made by a majority of the voting public. If you don't like it, you can go to England and live there.
Aiden Phillips
I always tip around 20% but there have been a few times I didn't tip mostly because I didn't have much money at the time myself. But this idea of tipping is so ingrained in our society that I felt guilty about not tipping for the whole day after I didn't tip, especially after seeing the waiters face and work they put into trying to please me.
Andrew Ward
You cannot be arrested for not paying a tip.
Typically it is frowned upon to not tip, but honestly its more of a moral thing. Although people dont understand the point of the tip, since the reason for it existing is all but forgotten. If you really don't want to tip don't tip. If you dont care or want to tip somebody, then simply tip 10%.
10% is under the average by about 50% sometimes people take lack of tips seriously, because they believe that they didn't provide good service and become offended or upset with themselves. Typically when you don't tip some people assume there was a problem, and you dislike the way that they did things.
All in all, if you don't live in america and youll never see those human beings again, don't tip. If you get delivery every week from teh same place, same guy, I would recommend tipping. It's really that simple.
Normal tips:
15% 18% 20%
Based on quality of service.
As you can see, 0% is obviously for if you have had a terrible quality service or had a problem with the establishment or person helping you.
Have fun in the US, user, we aren't all that bad.

Jaxon Perry
That chart doesn't show welfare rates. It shows absolute values
Isaiah Garcia
Wow...lots of butthurt waiters in this thread! Check it out, I am a waiter at a fucking Pizza Hut, and I get less than minimum wage, but even here I can tell you that if you are not a complete waste of oxygen you will get enough tips to make way more than minimum wage. On a slow day I make around $8.50 an hour total, and on a busy day I pull in over $10 an hour. At a fucking Pizza Hut, for fuck's sake! I can't make this much money washing dishes at Denny's, that's for sure. So you can bad talk it all you want, but if you aren't making decent money in tips as a waiter it is not the fault of the system or the fault of the place where you work. It is because you suck at your job.
Blake Hill
You've probably gobbled up about 18 liters of spit and cum in your food throughout the years, and, chances are, if you are around the age of 20-25 you have many more liters to go. Drink up you pig.
Colton Taylor
You're part of the problem. How can you support your kids on $10 an hour??????
Isaac Young
Get back to work nigger, your break time is almost over, produce needs you to help stock.
Jack Scott
What kids? Try being a responsible human being first, then think about having kids. Otherwise deal with the consequences yourself. It isn't my job to cover your irresponsible ass.
Adam Harris
dubs for truth
Oliver Diaz
It shows the amount spent in welfare. Which has steadily rose.
Ryder Foster
Don't bother tipping. US law states the employer must make up the difference for federal minimum wage if the employee's tips do not meet that amount. So don't sweat it, anywhere. If you feel like they were exemplary, then feel free to give what you like, otherwise don't tip. Also, if you do tip, do not use cash. If you use cash, they can get away with not reporting it on their taxes, if you use a credit card, their employer reports it on their wages for tax purposes. Keep them honest that way.
Justin Phillips
And you're uninformed.
Tyler Wilson
>You're part of the problem
Why, because he isn't a slack-jawed, nose-breathing lameass retard too stupid to know how to bus a fucking table, like you?
The worls should cater to the lazy and apathetic, is that what you are saying? Fuck off, loser. Jump off a bridge or something, society has got more important things to do than support you.
John Bennett
So the labor force participation rate drops.
Adam Morales
This, although preferably with the correct use of "their". Also, fuck people who come out with this line:
>if you can afford to go out, you can afford to tip
Just adds to the bullshit logic of it all. And if you're going to purposely give poor service because you've decided you're not being paid enough, either pull your head out of your ass or find another fucking job.
Wyatt Cruz
Uh yea it kind of is. It takes a village to raise a child. It is everyone's responsibility to make sure children are provided with everything they need. I can point you to a book our next president wrote that says just this.
Aiden Jenkins
and fuck em, they clearly don't need a job
Kayden Wright
Tip. It's the right thing to do. Just put down 20% of what your bill was. That's enough.
Evan Stewart
But it puts additional strain on the budget.
Nicholas Harris
Other people's children are not my responsibility or concern. If they do become my concern, it's because their criminal pieces of shit, and likely about to become the next firearm death stastic for being a dindu nuffin.
Colton Barnes
No it doesn't. Welfare is a net positive for the government. Have you even read anything Bernie or Hillary has put out regarding this?
Jayden Campbell
>or find another fucking job.
And if they find another job someone else will have to fill that hole. There will always be people serving food. Should these people be paid an unlivable wage because society as a whole looks down on them? That's a pretty shitty view.
Brayden Torres
>I will be visiting USA in a few months. Ok, but it's shit here. :-) >But i've read that it is obligatory tipping waiters, cab drivers, valet parking personnel, etc around 15-20% Yes. If you don't, they get pissed, ESPECIALLY valets.
>Is this a must or can i leave the restaurant without leaving a tip? You CAN, but they won't like you. Restaurant workers do NOT get paid minimum wage. Their wage IS tips.
>Can i be arrested if i don't want to pay more money unnecessarily? No, but you might get chased, if your waiter/ress is angry >Happened to us before. And we DID leave a tip; bitch didn't see it under the cup or something. Fucker.
>Why do you americans pay more money after you paid for your food/service? Wait Staff do NOT get paid minimum wage is why. Also, many other groups do NOT.
Minimum wage is $9/hr. Wait Staff get paid like $2.13/hr or some shit, unless the employer is really nice.
If tips do NOT equate to minimum wage for hours worked after a month, however, the employer must make up the difference
You have NOT paid for the service UNTIL you pay the tip. You ONLY paid for the food.
And if you DON'T tip, and EVERYONE STOPS tipping, the prices for food go through the roof. >As if that makes a fucking difference, since you HAVE to tip anyway
>TL;DR: >Tipped workers are NOT paid minimum wage, so when you DON'T tip, it raises prices in restaurants to make up for the non-tippers. >That's why you can get a full breakfast for $10 per person... BUT you then have to tip between 10-20%, unless they sucked. That's YOUR prerogative >But NO, you will NOT get arrested; you'll just piss people off and maybe get chased (and spit in your food next time you show up)
Jacob Price
Why did they become a criminal? Because people liek YOU didn't bother to help them.
Justin Williams
In all the places I've worked as a cook tips enter a pool and 15% goes to the kitchen and are distributed based on weekly hours, the same for the servers/runners/bussers/hostess. If you don't tip everyone collectively gets the shaft.
Tipping is the socially accepted behavior. There are no legal ramifications if you don't tip but social mores are enforced informally.
Grayson Baker
You, don't have to tip. The only place I have left tips, are my barber and sonic drive in durning the winter
Parker Jenkins
like anyone actually cares about that. "Deficits don't matter", you should look up who said that since you're probably too young to remember.
Jason Ortiz
Could you maybe learn to communicate before attempting to argue? It pains me to read the shit you spew.
Sebastian Russell
It came up because alcohol was served during "Dry law" for extra cash. And nowadays it just lingered and companies pay less for the workers because hey, customers do it for them. I am a waiter also, I am happy when they tip, I tip sometimes for good service, but I fucking hate this practice. No tip, humane paycheck.
Ryan Morris
They get paid shit so your food cost less. How does this go over peoples head?
Eli Carter
Yes, of course it has. So has gdp and population. Just inflation will make it rise. has it even risen in real terms
Ayden Peterson
Don't listen to this guy - tips are a gratuity - latin from gratuitas "free gift." They are a reward for service, if such a reward is warranted. If the service is mediocre or less, don't tip, it's that simple. Their employer has to make up the difference to make sure the employee makes federal minimum wage. Not making minimum wage as a tipped employee is one way of showing you have poor customer skills, and should likely seek work elsewhere.
Robert Reed
So a cuck and a liar are your references? You are as bad as a trumptard
Landon Barnes
Does anyone ever tip at fast food joints? I only ask because there have been a few times when the server gave me a look like I should let them keep my change on larger bills.
Carter Murphy
It's not my responsibility to help them. I didn't fuck the mother, not my problem. If you can't raise a kid properly, then it should be incarcerated or killed, along with the parents who raised the piece of shit like that.
Aiden Bell
Inflation over long times sure, but just look at the last few sections, the ones that coincide with the years listed in the chart about participation rates.
Parker Price
Maybe you should learn to read above a 4th grade level, before attempting to converse with the adults. It helps if you're not retarded, but we know that can't be helped in your case.
Nicholas Diaz
Only like drive ins where they bring food out. And usually it's just the change
Sebastian Johnson
>it's because their criminal pieces of shit >their
Yup, I'm the retard. Unless of course you were referring to pieces of literal shit that rob banks and jack cars.
Wyatt Edwards
Lol fuck no. Most of the fast food places around me are filled with unhappy looking porch monkeys. Why the fuck would I tip a nigger? I've quit going to most fast food places because I don't want Jigaboo Sambo fucking with my food because of his prejudice against whitey. That and I like to have my order done correctly, negroids can't follow instructions, even simple ones with pictures to help.
Luis Edwards
Their as in their child, the criminal piece of shit. They're letting their pieces of shit run wild. Fucking learn how to read more than "See Spot run."
