If any place said a 30% tip is so so, I'm not tipping.
30% is soso? Go fuck yourselves.
30%: underpaid
40%: immorally underpaid
50%; criminally underpaid
100%: Les Miserables
Custom: 0%
Every time.
If they give me the No Tip option, I usually tip a little bit. But fuck off with this idea that you should be tipped. It helps no one.
It doesn't have to be like this, America. Not only is tipping not expected in Australia, but when the "Choose tip" screen comes up on US made software, all the servers I've ever had skip straight through it and choose zero.
Servers deserve to be paid fairly.
I'm not even paying the bill at that point.
I frequent a bagel place that automatically adds a fairly hefty (not THAT hefty) tip when you pre-order online for in-store pickup.
If not for the fact that they are by far the best place to go for bagels in my area (we have few choices), that alone would stop me from ordering.
Their bagels are good, and I'm not above tipping at a bagel place. But their prices are already very high for a bagel place (they know what they got), they do brisk business, and they should damn well be paying their employees more rather than trying to sneak a 25% tip into every online order. It doesn't even present it as in OP - it's just there in the itemization in the end and you need to manually edit it out before ordering.
Edt - oh and if real, I ain't never going back to the place in OP after seeing that one time.
Relevant post from earlier this month
Honestly if it starts at 30% then im 0% tipping and they can fuck right off.
I've actually seen 2 recent practices that I hate more than this. While this is frustrating, at least you can input a custom tip. I've also seen them where they show 3 different dollar amounts that don't indicate percentage but doing the math, it's definitely way over the usual 20%. Then there's the one I hate the most which I keep seeing at places where you don't usually tip. You go to pay with your card and the little transaction/card machine shows different tip amounts, the default of which is already set. If you don't want to leave a tip, you have to figure out which button to push to do so. They're all different and it can be very confusing. I even saw one where each option was labeled in correlation with a button on the screen, except that they didn't match up. And what do you do then? Ask the person at the register how not to tip them?
30% is "soso" but a 100% is only "Thank You"? In this case the 100% should be "Walk over to the other side of the register so the boss can blow You".
The issue with tipping is an issue with capitalism.
It is capitalism that has ruined nice things. Imagine the first person who tipped someone because their service was good and it was a nice thing to do. Next other people started doing it as well, which makes the profession with tipping more favorable.
This leads to a higher supply of workers and lower demand and the market adjusts which means lower pay because "they will receive tips".
Also it is easy to vilify the shop owners for doing something that the system encourages and even demands them. We don't know how or in what ways the shop owners are suffering because of the system.
Also to acknowledge their suffering is not to say that their suffering is equal to the suffering of their workers but rather we need to identify that everybody suffers in capitalism (except the very rich/elites).
The way to fix this is to stop tipping altogether. This will hurt the workers for sure but their suffering is necessary in order for things to change, at least under the current system.
Or alternatively, we can try and abolish the system altogether.
At this point I'd go full Karen asking to speak to the supervisor, then taking my business elsewhere.
Vote with your wallet.
I award you no tips, and may God have mercy on your soul!
This is why I have stopped dining out, if the business demands excess to then pay staff and without tips staff go unpaid then what is it I am supporting.
“soso” 😂 I’m laughing but it’s not funny
It is normal to leave a 10-20% tip for certain jobs. However, this is just insane. I would probably lose my shit if I was prompted to leave a 100% tip. That's completely nuts.
Where was this taken? I want to avoid it as much as possible.
Nice precedent for corruption
So hard to get a thank you. Manners these days...
ok
ITT.
I love the scene where a group of sociopathic murders are all shocked at how scummy someone has to be to deprive a waitress of her wages, as if it's justified because the owner doesn't pay her either.
I'll tip them ¥0.50 if they started preaching communism and say "LONG LIVE CHAIRMAN XI", out loud, in front of the FBI headquarter.
