My first job after dropping out of high school was in a restaurant, I worked my ass of for tips. Today I’m coerced to tip on checkout, often before I’ve ever received any service or food. Voluntarily paying 15-20% more for food that’s already over priced just because there’s a human in the loop is nonsense. You either earn your tip or you don’t. Random thoughts as I seat myself, get my own silverware and bus my tables, now that I paid for food + 15% tip…what was the tip for?

In DC its automatically applied as a wage supplement, some places still have the gall to expect a tip on top of that

decided to start carrying cash so i can tip based on merit. i know people arent getting paid enough and i usu do 10% baseline regardless but paying extra for bad service is insulting and i cant do it anymore

The US tipping culture was sadly transplanted to the UK in its worst incarnation: "complimentary service fees." An seemingly optional charge (unless you're 6+ people), but I dare you to remove it, while the waiting staff is hawking precisely which option you pick from the card processing device. I used to work as a bus boy, dish washer, waiter, and bartender, and on room service duty, and these were simpler times: tips were earned, not given. When I tip, I tip generously, but I do it only when the service has been exceptional, not just basically bringing me food to the table after I order.

I like leaving 20-25% tips no matter what, remember how good it felt to get a nice tip as a host, good way to give back to local community too
