Why do American customers tip instead of employers just paying their employees?

Not all Americans have drunk the koolaid. I actually think for myself. They have tried to brainwash me to "muh capitalism" but it didn't work.

I live in Germany and get 6 weeks paid lol. You guys are so cucked.

Tipping started as an extra reward for excellent service then evolved into an expected thing. When the latter happened, employers realized that they were paying basically non-skilled labor way too much for what they did, so they cut their salary to the least they could and let the tips make up the difference.

"they were paying"--you don't know how tipping works, do you? I'll explain: the tips DON'T come from the employers. They come from the customers.

No shit, genius.
How about this then. The wait staff was making far too much for unskilled labor in total, so the employers realized that their actual salary could be lowered.

I've never tipped in my entire life. One time I was called out by a waitress who caught the bill on the table before I was out the door. I told her that slow service, mediocre food, a total lack of eye contact, and an inability to stay off of your phone for ten seconds did not deserve a tip. Everyone who heard me looked at me like I was the devil himself. What, is it considered good manners to give people free money for being bad at their job? Not in my America.

>employers realized they could get away with paying their employees less than they deserve

fixed for ya.

Who determines what they deserve, commie ?
The market, that's what. If they don't' like it, they can learn an actual skill and get a better job.

wtf are you talking about? merkins don't have four days paid holiday, unless their employer happens to be a good guy, of which there are none in burgerstan.

I'd drop them on the polar ice caps. Time for extinction.

Anyone who doesn't have enough to share with someone who has served them just isn't trying. You should have so much money that you don't even think about putting down 25% of the bill. Take care of people, you betas.

Efficient market hypothesis has already been disproven yet you stupid cucks cling to it like any other cultist.

Enlighten me, o educated one.

Downside is . . You live in Germany. You need that much time off to go somewhere that has air conditioning and you dont have to pay for the WC

Look at last 20 years and/or read "A Man for All Markets" by Thorp. It is a good book.

Lol, keep telling yourself that, burger.

If you can't summarize your thoughts, just say so.

BECAUSE THE USA IS THE BEST!

Am I your fucking servant? No. I am also not your seventh grade student that I should have to summarize books for your uninformed ass. YOU inform yourself or look like an idiot--it is entirely YOUR responsibility.

You made a statement yet posted nothing to back it up.
No interest in reading your communist manifesto btw.

It's the muriKKKan form of socialism.

I posted a reference to a book by the former professor of Mathematics who invented card counting, the first wearable computer, and finance methods that are standard today. It isn't a communist manifesto, and it wasn't written by me, cuck.

why did that even have a tl;dr lmao

And you can't even summarize its basic principles.
Nor explain why a waiter, which basically requires the skill of a trained monkey, "deserves" a certain wage that's anything higher than what the law allows.

Wow. I get 28 days paid holiday and think that is shit. It must suck being an Amerilard.

What lazy useless socialist country are you from ?

tipping is like going to work, but still depending on peoples charity to survive. fucked up.

Being in the restaraunt business is lucritive if you know how to play the game.
Normally, the contract is this: if the waiter/waistress gets over a certain amount at the end of the week in tips, the employer gets to pay them $2.50 /hr and the service person gets to keep the tips.

But if at the end of the week, the tips don't add up to meet the contract, say they need to make $500 in tips by the end of the week, but it was a slow week and you only got $100 in tips. The employer makes up the difference, paying the employer the extra $400.

The game. Do not report the tips. That's why they prefer cash over credit cards. They can pocket cash tips without it ever being recorded. So when you do make like $500 in tips for the week, but report that you only made $50 in tips, the employer makes up the difference, and you get paid $450 + the money you pocketed in cash. So you basically made $1000 in 5 days.

sure kid

I genuinely don't get any days off.

Sweden: five weeks.

Tipping rewards excellent service. Servers know the regulars who tip well and treat them like kings. You get service above and beyond, you get great tips. But, if you give shit service, you get shit tips...or none at all. This ultimately gives the customer control over the service. Lousy servers wash out and find other work. Great servers get paid well.

The people who dislike tipping are generally selfish, immature people who want handouts themselves. Stiffing a server who worked hard doesn't bother these people. They are the ones who will get the bare minimum service next time.

That never occurs to them. They don't go out enough to know these facts.

would have been hilarious if he had rounded it up to 61 with her tip

Sweden: gay as fuck.
Whats next, 6 months off ?
Lazy motherfucking socialists...

Fuck off jewfag im not paying your salaries

it is almost always in the servers best interest to under report, so it probably is the rule, not the exception.

>Great servers get paid well.
So young boys and girls, growing up, dream of being great waiters/waitresses ?
Bullfuckingshit. It's a crappy job that no one wants. Best suited to high school part timers. Who move onto bigger and better things when they grow up.

in my state they get both tips and must be paid full minimum wage

Almost everything there is garbage.
Beautiful nature by the way.
We once had a friend from the US here (Germany) and went to a discount shop for some groceries. He was shocked how fresh, good and cheap everything was. We didn't even show him the normal people supermarket. The one we went is for trash and cheap alcohol.

It's very hard work. No one denies that. But a good server at a restaurant often makes more money than the manager. And, better restaurants do not hire high school part timers.

Why are you guys so fucking obsessed with tipping? In America we tip. Get over it assholes, get over it.

We in Europe tip! But only when the service was good.

It's mostly incel Americans who make these threads. Socially inadequate people whose idea of a night out for dinner is their mom taking them through the drive-through at McDonalds. The concept of taking a date to a good restaurant and dropping $150 isn't within the realm of their imagination.

They play at being from some foreign country to cover the fact they rarely leave the basement.

Tell me why someone who takes people's orders and brings them their food deserves to make more money that the manager, you commie fuck.
A trained monkey could do that job...

Sounds like the people who whine about some race driver or professional athlete "not deserving" those millions of dollars. It is capitalism at it's best. Supply and demand.

IF your parents ever take you out to a restaurant that doesn't involve ordering at a counter, pay attention to what goes on around you. If you think it's easy, get off your lard ass and try it.

As said in another thread:

Do you tip the firemen?
Do you tip the doctor?
The electrician? The bus driver? The plane pilot? The supermarket cashier? The pharmacist? The police? The politician?

No. So fuck tipping in literally every case. I have never tipped and I love the faces of distraught waiters in foreign countries. I can see them hating me and there's nothing they can do because the food has already been eaten.

I never have this problem in my home country (the Netherlands) or my neighbours (Germany and Belgium) because tipping is completely optional here.

I've never heard of a doctor comping your visit because you're an awesome patient.

I would never lower myself to be a waiter.
However, my oldest son did that. Because I thought that he needed a lesson in humility.
So do you, btw...
There are those that serve and those that GET served. Try to be the latter, dumbass.
In the meantime, just bring me my fucking food from the kitchen, you idiot minimum wage fag !

you should get a percentage of each table you personally handled so the more you bust your ass the more you get paid

>the more you bust your ass the more you get paid
I don't think that anyone disagrees with that.
Except for Europeans. And Canadians. Who think that doing a mediocre job of taking orders and bring food to your table is "skilled labor"
