I’m an insurance agent. How pissed would you be if I ask you for a tip after you buy a policy from me?
I don’t give a shite that your poor employees have to work while on the clock. You pay them for that, not me. I understand that making each drink requires a lot of intricate skill, training, and knowledge but I just want my drink and I want to pay what it costs plus a bit of profit for you, since that’s business. Now if your girl is fit and showing 3/4 of her tits while making it and her arse jiggles with each step, then it’s my prerogative whether I want to tip her or not.

Do you tip $0 on a $34 tab?
My girls all average from a $10-12/hr wage as well
What in this process did she do that is above and beyond the job requirment you pay her $10-12/hr to do?

Tip or don't, why worry about what a total stranger thinks of you?
It's not so much that, as much as, having to do at the start of the process so they may or may not give you good service (or spit in your food) when they know you didnt tip.
Ie...Jersey Mike's does it at checkout after your food is made so pressing no is no big deal.
I don't tip if they are doing what they get paid to do and provided no extra service, unless I know or assume they get paid the lower Server hourly rate.

It’s the damn “would you like to round up” nonsense I hate.

If I could leave a negative tip I would.
I tip well at a restaurant. On my own because I choose to.
Don't ask me for a tip.

Hold on.. so you employ these girls knowing you don't pay them enough for the work you require them to do?
I am the customer paying the price established for what I am buying, my tip is my option based on being nice to someone helping me, it is not an entitlement to the business owner subsidize your business expense.
Why don't you pay them what you feel is proper for the work they are providing and then raise your price to compensate. You can then post a sign that's says you pay your employees a proper wage and tips not needed.

The tipping panhandling problem is so bad now that I literally decide if I want to pick up some food based on whether I want to deal with the tip issue or not.
Let me pull the curtain back some though on another side of how this is pushed. The banks holding the cards, the CC provider, and the merchant services company providing the payment platform all make a % on the total billed. So if they can bump up the total billed amount per transaction that increases the money they make through CC sales. So think about it, they are getting 25% to 35% more sales due to tipping.

Extremely interesting point. Well done.

On the other hand, I think generosity is important and sometimes those folks don't make much or have a lot. I do it sometimes knowing it helps another person in their life. Call me cheesy. Idc

Saw where some restaurants are adding ,"Labor" fees on the check. You know, just make our own meals. Cook at home and prepare ahead of time. Healthier anyway.

I’m fully onboard for the USA to follow the rest of the world and have a no tipping culture. It’s so refreshing when in Europe and not having to put up with the constant push for tips.

I don't tip for drive through. There, that's simple enough.

Geaux Clean now hits you up for a tip for their automated car wash ??
Posted on 4/11/24 at 6:51 pm to TDsngumbo
I always ask...discount my bill 10, 15 or 25% and we'll discuss it.
Posted on 4/11/24 at 8:20 pm to TDsngumbo
just pay cash at the drive-through and you won’t have that problem
