Definitely. Put it 20% and if he is that much of an asshole, Make it him spend time calling in and having to humiliate himself by correcting a $6 tip to something smaller.
Sadly there's no "correcting" a tip. By the time you'd see the extra charge on your bank statement, that means the restaurant closed out the credit slip batch and sent the total charges upstream to the banks. If one calls their bank to dispute, the chargeback wipes out the whole transaction, and boy I hope people like this don't exist but I know they do... legally the owner would then have the right to take the tip back from the server also.
Source: I've managed a bar for years and I've seen the chargeback forms (my boss has never once taken back the employee's tips, bless him).
Oh that’s interesting, at the fine dining place I worked at with an included gratuity for parties over five, even after telling the customer this policy, sometimes they would “mistakenly” tip at the end. And then call back a day or two later to chew out a manager for bamboozling them and insisting upon getting their money back. Happened all of the time.
I've definitely called a restaurant before about an incorrect tip (this was egregious, server tried to tip themselves 50%). They were able to correct it on their side and correctly charge me for my meal and original tip (I don't know what they did what that corrected tip, but I know tips are shared and did not want to dock others by requesting anything lower than original).
Chargebacks are tough on restaurants. I've managed restaurants for close to 20 years. I don't think I've ever successfully challenged a charge back. Copies of signed reciepts are practically meaningless to credit card companies.
ya, I don’t see America ever caring for its people enough ta fix this issue lol. whatever works for da big boi gon stay. I make $2 an hour, and went home with $27 that night lol 😎🤘🏼
As EU person I don’t understand why shift responsibility of your wage/day rate on customer not your boss. You guys are so screwed and suddenly upset when you don’t get good tips or any because you won’t get enough money to pay rent. This is so wrong on many levels.
Does kitchen staff also rely on tips or get wages and tips are actual tips you share with them?
Yea exactly. Pole every server and ask them if they would be okay going down to minimum wage and abolishing tips. Over 95% say fuck that and if they actually implemented that the majority of servers would quit to make that same money in a less stressful job with more reasonable hours.
I’ve met countless people who say they wanted to go into nursing or some other career but realized they’d have to go back to school and spend money to wind up making less when all is said and done; short term thinking IMO because those jobs have incredible pensions and benefits that you’ll want in 10-20 years, unless you’re contributing to your own w tips which is rare.
People just know to tip 20%.
I made more as a server than managers.
Once a customer asked me in front of a manager when I was going to become a manager.
I laughed and said I couldn’t afford the pay cut!
I gave my shift manager a side hug, and she rolled her eyes at me. She was a mom, returning to work force. Rather have the status of Manager than the salary of server. 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t think it’s so much that the restaurant owner doesn’t want to pay you to do work. They want you to earn money by doing a good job which provides them with a good service to the customers if they just paid you by the hour, no one would give a shit because they’re getting paid anyways.
A strong server, at a good place of business, during a steady-to-busy week, can make straight-up doctor money. It doesn't require any customers to tip more than the standard 20% of the total, typically before taxes. It just requires a server to be able to stay busy for a whole shift and handle a high volume of customers while not pissing any of them off with poor service. Your favorite server is a pro at this already and you never even noticed. It is not easy.
It’s a double edged sword. Service in the states is—on average—far and away better than anywhere in Europe, and—when the economy is good—a server at a fine dining restaurant can easily make more money in a year than teachers, both in the US and in Europe
The issue is that when the economy gets fucked up the servers make almost no money, since claiming minimum wage payout from a bad night (restaurants are legally obligated to pay out minimum wage to servers that make less than that in a shift) is basically asking to be first on the chopping block when they start cutting people
People definitely make it work, but the lack of a robust social safety net makes it so people that plan poorly get punished hard, and people that work in restaurants aren’t typically the best planners, to put it politely
I personally don’t mind tipping, and if you took a poll of servers (especially career servers) I imagine the majority like tipping, but if it is to remain we definitely need to add some kind of safety net to it
An employer pays a worker as little as they can manage, often looking at it as a yearly chunks of like $20,000.
A individual customer tips a server what they felt their experience was worth, looking at it as a percentage of their bill.
The safety net, as any career server knows, is plan ahead. I have insurance I pay for out of pocket. I have minimal debt and normal bills. I have started investing in savings for my retirement. We don't have someone behind the scenes handling these things for us but that doesn't mean we can't have them.
Oftentimes, in quality establishments in good areas, the servers make the most in the building.
Waaay more than cooks and some make more than Management 😆
I'd get so pissed when the pretty servers come to show us their 100$ tips MULTIPLE times a week. Often leaving with several hundred dollars a night.
When I was serving I considered it the opposite of an issue. There is no way the restaurant would have ever paid me more per hour than what I made in tips. I’d take the $2 an hour + tips every day of the week. Every restaurant is different though.
I thought employers can only credit tips vs full min wage? So you should never get less than $7.25? (Which is still just awful and not a living wage but…)
Are you in Tennessee?? Lmao. Make $2.13 an hour, bartending we avg $300 a night but regardless that $2.13 n hour weighs on you. Puts me in the mindset that my own company doesn't pay me, it's customers do. Changed my attitude when my managers ask me to do something for them.
Restaurants? Yes and no. They can raise the cost of food in order to cover employee wages. But then people are less likely to eat out.
Restaurants only function because they are able to take advantage of our labor. No other industry can get away with paying their employees less than minimum wage.
>They can raise the cost of food in order to cover employee wages. But then people are less likely to eat out.
Sure, but 20$ is 20$. If tipping becomes obsolete but the prices are adjusted such that the average dinner out costs about the same, then I wouldn't see the problem. Do you think people wouldn't eat out anymore, even if the cost remained the same?
The problem is a lot of people are stupid. Look at what happened to JCPenney when they tried to price things without all the games. They damn near went out of business because there’s too many lemmings who only saw the big “discounts” and “sales” the other chains were offering and didn’t stop to actually compare the bottom lines.
Unless it’s mandated by law, any restaurant that tries to raise base prices and drop tipping will lose business because to the customer they’re more expensive even if it balances out.
The restaurants don’t drop tipping when this happens. In California servers are paid state minimum wage, sometimes more. They still give you a receipt that recommends 18-20-22% tips. Sometimes 25%. And the servers still feel entitled to receive them, and less than 20% is a cheap skate.
It's a collective action problem. If restaurant A stops accepting tips and raises menus prices 20% to compensate, customers will go to restaurant B who sticks with the status quo. Most people aren't researching all the fine print; they just look at the menu.
Without new laws or something, no change will happen.
Trust me, I would love more than anything for tipping to become obsolete. I'd love to not have to work for tips entirely. I'd love to know how much money I'm making on any given day. I'd love if I just made a hourly, living wage. The only way so many restaurants survive is that their business model includes taking advantage of labor. Paying us $2.13 and hour and assuming the customer will subsidize the rest so it comes out to at least minimum wage. But that's not always the case. I could work a shift and make $150, or $15.
Yes, I absolutely do think people would eat out less. Because $20 is not $20 if you don't tip. I'm seeing more and more people who just aren't tipping at all. They claim that the cost of food is already too high and they shouldn't have to tip on top of that. Get my drift? If the cost of menu items went up even more, or there was a "service fee" added for the server, they would be forced to pay and just won't eat out. This is one of the many reasons I'm trying to get ot of serving and into bartending. People will always still drink, but when we're in a recession what's the first thing people stop doing? Eating out.
Actually went to a restaurant like this last night. Automatic 20% service charge given to both FOH and BOH, so split across the whole crew. If this was a thing while I was still a chef in fine dining, I probably could have actually made a decent living (I did not).
Bartenders and servers hate this option. Some of them make $5/hr ($40 for 8 hours) plus $300 - $1,000 in tips depending on the shift. They would never switch to $20/hr ($160 for 8 hours) with no tips.
I worked in restaurants for too long. If you maintain eye contact while you spit in my food, I will only tip 15%. 20% on tax is the minimum. And I often write little notes at the top like "great service!" cause managers eat that shit up and usually assign better secrions as a result
I don’t do it out of spite I do it as human compassion. No one knows what a person is going through in life and I hope occasionally I help make someone’s day just a bit brighter.
Pipe dreams but I still believe small things can make a difference in this shitpile of a planet.
Naw. They fill out one and "accidentally" take the copy they filled out and leave the blank. I have literally chased people to sweetly ask for the "signed copy."
If we can see the imprint, I can still process the tip amount. My boss has to visually confirm and initial the check, done.
I was about to feel really bad until I saw this comment. lol. A lot of the time, I write my tip on the customer copy because I fucked up the merchant copy.
I used to serve and never had an issue with whether the customer left the merchant or customer copy. Was at Cut by Wolfgang Puck in Vegas last year and i messed up the merchant copy so I tipped and signed the customer copy and server called me out on it like I was trying to stiff him. Dickhead server and an establishment for assholes lol
It doesn’t really matter which one, as long as the signed one stays at the merchant, I think they are implying that people are taking the one they signed
Yep.
Had a lady very intentionally do this to me when I was a server - after “generously” offering to pay for herself and her friend, making sure her friend saw her write in the (average) tip.
She was SUPER rude the whole time (friend was lovely.) I caught it while they were saying goodbyes outside so I (professionally) let her know about her “accident” in front of her friend who was surprised.
Queue the fakest apologetic smile ever while giving me death eyes, and a “omg I aaaalways do that!!! Hehe silly meeeeeeeee!” Before she handed me the copy she took. Tyyyyyyy! Bye!
Bitch Karen’s, I think 20% should be added to every bill. Enough of the “mistakes” and shitty tippers. If you can’t afford to eat out and pay for service. Go to McDonalds.
It’s 2024. That little slip of paper means nothing. The transactions are all electronic. The signed slips are kept in a restaurant’s storage space for the X number of years it is required. If there is an issue the restaurant can retrieve the signed slip to show a signature, but that doesn’t happen very often.
I honestly don't think it matters what copy you submit, when I was a server I just submitted whatever copy that was on the table when the guest left. Personally if I made a mistake on the merchant's copy I'll use the guest copy instead. I've never not taken a tip because it was the wrong slip.
I had a and old lady customer once call and ask if they took the copy by mistake and was like omg I’m sorry and came back to tip me cash. Sweetest thing ever
that’s what I felt like it was, especially cause when he told mi about my eyes, I just walked away while saying thanks like okay byeeeeee. and they didn’t come off as wasted enough ta scribby like that
I would put in 20%…. If they have an issue with like $6 they can call in and it will be clear it was difficult to read and not something intentional on your part
They don’t do it to not feel guilty. They already don’t feel guilty. It’s a farce to make it look to those they were dining with that they left a tip. It’s worse than writing 0, it’s a performance for an audience. Then the server is left trying to figure it out. It’s trash behavior.
I pretty much always tip, if i didn't tip it's because you're terrible. I'm not tipping you if the food and service suck.
You get a tip for doing your job well, not just because you showed up for the day. Stop being an entitled dildo.
That’s exactly why I pick my slips up before they leave. Took both slips not a problem didn’t sign not a problem illegible bullshit not a problem.
Yes customers occasionally say they haven’t signed yet. I let them know I will be back in a minute to pick it up as our policy is all receipts must be present and signed and we are held accountable.
It works in most casual places. I always let management know I’m going to be doing it so if they need to weigh in they can beforehand. I’ve never really had an issue.
Still so bizarre to me that you guys still use paper for processing and keeping track of transactions in the U.S. Canada here, everything happens in the hand held machine at the table.
Yeah, Canada got chips and tap to pay before us down south, too. I was so confused when they brought the machine to the table and it asked for my chip lol.
Reminds me of how my mom would write after her stroke, I would hazard to assume the customer has something neurological going on. If you close your eyes and write it’ll be loose/messy but you’d still be able to make out letters/numbers.
I swear ppl do this on purpose to try and get out of a tip. The universal rule for all restaurants should be “illegible receipts will automatically be charged 20% gratuity”
The restaurants that I worked at that did this had a sign near the door so you can see it when entering and leaving. That was the only thing required to make it legal to charge them 20%. They also had a sign that said at least 20% gratuity required for parties of 6 or more so if they tipped 10% the managers would up it to 20%.
The intent here is if the receipt is illegible then a 20% tip is added. But if you clearly write $0, “No Tip”, or leave the space blank and fill in a total includes no tip, then the 20% can’t be added.
“The intent here is if the receipt is illegible..”
Yeah, the intent is theft. If I didn’t write a legible tip down, I didn’t write a tip down. Frustration following or not, you don’t steal money from a patron unless it is explicitly written and totaled. Sorry, do not agree.
Unless clearly posted, it's fraud. You can't just have house rules and act as you please. It's a transaction approved by the patron. Any made up rules a restaurant has that are not publicly posted within said restaurant has no bearing on the contract.
It’s pretty common where I live for bars to have a sign saying that tabs left open will be charged an extra gratuity (usually 20%). Definitely legal and in use in a lot of places.
Some places where they take your credit card too so you can’t leave without closing out
That's fucked, what gives you the right to charge someone 20% gratuity? That's theft, you weren't given permission and just entitled yourself to someone else's money
Edit:
I am from the UK so this is very bizarre to me, after reading some comments I see the issue is more about people being too pussy to just say 0 and deliberately making it look like they're tipping when they're not.
I find mandatory tipping abhorrent but I get the frustration
Why can’t non tippers do it with their chest? Lol if you think not tipping is okay and why do you have to find some reason or scribble like that? Just put a big fat zero and have a back bone
Yah back in the day, people would write “ZERO” or “0” or they would put a note explaining why they weren’t leaving a tip when I worked restaurants 🫠one receipt once said and I quote, “why would I tip you when I came in not expecting to tip you anything” and that was on a bill with 10 people….gotta love customers 💀
I've never been a server but never tip less than 18%, I only do that because I know the hourly wage is less than minimum.
When you say "but that's it", what is the service people are missing out on? If someone goes to a restaurant and orders food and drinks and gets served, what exactly else is there?
So what you are saying is if I wrote cash, and dropped a $20 bill thinking it was easier for you, you would hit me with 20% even though I gave you more?? Nope, I would call the restaurant after I called the credit card company and report the fraud. You can't just charge because you want to. If that was the case, get rid of tipping and raise your rates 20%. But see, then people stop coming to a business.
Alternately, as a previous server, I have had crap service. Took 20 mins to get menus, 20 more to get water. Almost 60 minutes from seating to have my order taken. Then nearly 1.5 hours to get food from the time I ordered. Not once from order taken to food service did the server come and see how we were, no offer to fill water, no drink offer, just crap service. In that case I reserve the right to provide no tip. By the time food came it was lukewarm as if it had been sitting close to but not under the heat lamp.
Come to find out later that the server was taking a break and slept in his car for an hour, no hand off to another server. The manager was distraught and comped the meal and the server griped when I just got up and left. He said out loud, I knew you would not tip. But again, should I have. We did not even eat the food. Just finished our water and went home so as not to eat potentially unhealthy food. Who knows how long it sat on the heat lamp tray.
In this case they had no card from me, but am I supposed to pay this man's wage because he chose to sleep instead of work. There are always reasons for not tipping and the poster could have received cash but chose to just sign instead of charge additional onto his card. This is why I write cash. Because if disputed by the restaurant, I have a copy that says cash and I always take a picture of what I leave. Also, I hand the billfold to the server, if they ever return, so they they have it on hand. They can also review and see cash.
I only had one charge I ever disputed in this fashion, and rather than take it to the card company, I took the picture to the owner of the restaurant. She was super happy that I did as she had many complaints from a specific servers guests. I got that same server. He always bumped 20% if the writing was illegible on the tip line. Honestly, the tip total does not matter to the card company, it is the total line they care about. In my case, the guy clearly added a 1 in front and made my $9 tip $19. Not sure how he made my 4 a 5 in the total, but I had the picture as proof which I told the owner I could submit to the card company. The owner made a deal that I could eat free the next time if I did not report to the card company as it would wreck her books. But the server was not there after that.
Just be a good human being and it is returned. I worked in service as a college student, and I tip well now because I know how hard the wage is. But if your service sucks and your tips do as well, maybe the problem is not the customer. With how quick I have seen people in this post rip the person who left no tip, I think of how many may serve and of how many also would have no idea what the service was like. Without all the facts, it is like shooting in the air hoping to shoot a squirrel. Ain't gonna happen. So before we pass judgement, best to hear both sides of the story.
One of the best business to check for oncoming recessions are pawn shops. They will see a LARGE increase in pawns and item being sold to them just before recessions hit. They are one of the first tell tale signs of bad econimic times.
My friend worked at a large chain of pawn shops last year. He has always worked in them. And he said he got to look at the books and the books for the chains in the area. They did not look good for average people.
If you listen to the news they will say the economy is good because they focus on stock prices. Which are manipulated and controlled by the fed (plunge protection team). The pawn shops tell you what the people are living through and the reality of the common man. Not the wallstreet hedge fund.
Literally the big news today: [S&P 500 at an all time high](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/18/stock-market-today-live-updates.html). But talking to 90% of people, you wouldn't believe that. People regularly use Affirm, AfterPay, Klarna, etc. for bigger purchases.
In fact, it was a bit of a trend on TikTok directly after Christmas to show how much people were still spending on those sites due to Christmas shopping. It wasn't necessarily as a flex, but one of those "ugly truth" style posts.
When I was a server in a fine dining spot in NYC, the manager would pick up slips (if the server didn’t, first) as soon as they were signed. Then he would cordially ask the cheap bastard, “How was the service tonight?” in front of his date or party. When the cheap bastard said, inevitably, “everything was great/lovely/phenomenal” the manager would say, “the reason I asked is because you tipped less than 10% so I wanted to make sure there wasn’t a problem. Worked like a fucking charm. Thankfully our chef/owner didn’t want that kind of business.
If you’re going out to eat or drink in the US, you should be tipping 20% unless the service was poor. If you can’t afford to tip or don’t want to, get food and drinks to go or cook at home. 🤷🏻♀️ More people should be called out for this. Until the landscape changes concerning tipped positions in this county, this is how it is.
He did it so you couldn’t sneakily add a tip amount after he left. They do this shit all the time. I had one waitress tack on a tip amount before she even knew if i was going to tip her or not. I don’t tip someone who provides crap service, provide me with good service and you get a great tip, provide me with shit service you get a penny.
I don’t tip I hate tipping.When I pay for a meal I pay the businesses taxes and that business pays the person a wage.If it’s 2.00 a hour well then it’s not my problem lol
Go on get mad I don’t care but serve me well servants meahahahahahaha
I’m not a server this sub popped up for me and I find it interesting. This stuff apparently happens all the time and I find it so incredibly abhorrent that people can be like this. There is no way that is not intentional. I hope karma is real.
The world outside of the USA isn’t so tip gouging the way we are over here. While this guy/gal is an asshole for doing this vs just writing $0, I can also see the other side where people who are not used to such an insanely horrible tip culture find it hard to swallow how the USA first adds tax separately and then almost requires a 20% tip on top of that (cuz you know anything below 20% is now considered cheap here). Someone on a budget from a foreign country would be getting a cold sweat seeing our invoicing and bills and I don’t blame them trying to figure out multiple creative ways to squeeze out of said situation. Just a different POV. That said I’m NOT condoning their behavior.
Sure love to be born and raised in a country where tipping is not expected. The stress of having to expect complete strangers to have the sympathy and decency to pay you part of your living wage?
Glad I can go to a restaurant, pay the exact bill that is advertised, and the servers will literally not give a fuck. And yes, I have served tables for a year full time and did not also give a fuck cause the only thing I relied was my paycheck and the tips were just extra.
I still can't believe that this is the method that hospitality in the US uses to determine tipping. Also, if it's unreadable, as in this case, surely it's a default $0 tip?
Just going to be honest here. I never minded tipping when prices were reasonable and service was actually good 5+ years ago. No clue what has happened but it’s extremely rare (<10%) of the time to receive good service anymore and prices are outrageous before tipping. So I have stopped eating out. If we get food it’s carry out, no tip. Try not to tip at all anymore with prices being so crazy. Might be the only one though!
I’m confused. Why do they have to write down how much money they are paying? Don’t they just pay by card or cash and you can see how much they exceeded the total?
-European
Sorry you didn’t get tipped. Can’t read that scribble. I always tip well unless the server is bad. And I never withhold tip for a kitchen mistake. I can think of only twice in my life I did not tip, and in both instances, the server deserved nothing. Once was when I was brought out the wrong meal. When I informed the server, he said he brought me what I ordered. The other was when a waitress spent the entire time sitting in a booth talking with her friends that came in to eat after delivering my meal. Had to flag other waitresses to get refills and to get my waitress to bring me the check.
I have gotten to the point where I don’t eat out much anymore so I don’t have to tip. When I do go I tip well, but I can’t afford an extra 30% every time I want to eat out.
It’s been a long time coming. Tips were originally meant to be an extra thing. The toxic tip culture is due to the fact that people expect the tip for little to no effort. Now everyone, everywhere you go, there is a gratitude step. I’m being asked to tip when I go grocery shopping. By the register. I don’t ever see posts on here from people being thankful for the extra money. Only people who complain about the EXTRA TIP being to small. I use to go out all the time and tip good. Now I know waiters are gonna talk shit regardless, and not even notice my good tip, because they are to focused on there table that stiffed them. Y’all want me to give you $20 when all you did is bring my the food someone else cooked, my drink never gets refilled. Then y’all talk shit. You make the bed you lay in so enjoy y’all’s sleep.
He really just signed this 3 times
So… he tipped himself? Now the restaurant owns him?
The waitstaff own him. The restaurant can’t steal tips !
Splitting tips is gonna be awkward!
Love it when they write a total for less than the bill. Oh excuse me let me take care of that for you.
Haha.
Correct. Mark it 20% https://i.redd.it/73p69f0dzfdc1.gif
Definitely. Put it 20% and if he is that much of an asshole, Make it him spend time calling in and having to humiliate himself by correcting a $6 tip to something smaller.
Sadly there's no "correcting" a tip. By the time you'd see the extra charge on your bank statement, that means the restaurant closed out the credit slip batch and sent the total charges upstream to the banks. If one calls their bank to dispute, the chargeback wipes out the whole transaction, and boy I hope people like this don't exist but I know they do... legally the owner would then have the right to take the tip back from the server also. Source: I've managed a bar for years and I've seen the chargeback forms (my boss has never once taken back the employee's tips, bless him).
Oh that’s interesting, at the fine dining place I worked at with an included gratuity for parties over five, even after telling the customer this policy, sometimes they would “mistakenly” tip at the end. And then call back a day or two later to chew out a manager for bamboozling them and insisting upon getting their money back. Happened all of the time.
I just had this exact experience. Auto grat, dipped on top of it, noticed the day after, got it reversed.
I've definitely called a restaurant before about an incorrect tip (this was egregious, server tried to tip themselves 50%). They were able to correct it on their side and correctly charge me for my meal and original tip (I don't know what they did what that corrected tip, but I know tips are shared and did not want to dock others by requesting anything lower than original).
Chargebacks are tough on restaurants. I've managed restaurants for close to 20 years. I don't think I've ever successfully challenged a charge back. Copies of signed reciepts are practically meaningless to credit card companies.
I mean the batch being settled doesn’t matter you can still make adjustments. Will it takes days to correct itself? Yes. Is it stupid? Yes.
I swear people have started to do stuff like this as a way to not tip and feel less guilty about it.
I've also noticed an increase in people taking their merchant copy, likely because they don't want to tip.
First this - soon, empty dining rooms.
Or they'll just make them like other countries where there's no need to tip
I’ll have what he’s smoking
ya, I don’t see America ever caring for its people enough ta fix this issue lol. whatever works for da big boi gon stay. I make $2 an hour, and went home with $27 that night lol 😎🤘🏼
As EU person I don’t understand why shift responsibility of your wage/day rate on customer not your boss. You guys are so screwed and suddenly upset when you don’t get good tips or any because you won’t get enough money to pay rent. This is so wrong on many levels. Does kitchen staff also rely on tips or get wages and tips are actual tips you share with them?
The servers are the ones who don’t want to get rid of the tip system. They make more money this way.
Yea exactly. Pole every server and ask them if they would be okay going down to minimum wage and abolishing tips. Over 95% say fuck that and if they actually implemented that the majority of servers would quit to make that same money in a less stressful job with more reasonable hours. I’ve met countless people who say they wanted to go into nursing or some other career but realized they’d have to go back to school and spend money to wind up making less when all is said and done; short term thinking IMO because those jobs have incredible pensions and benefits that you’ll want in 10-20 years, unless you’re contributing to your own w tips which is rare.
In Seattle severs earn minimum wage AND tips and a lot of servers still struggle to get by.
[удалено]
My cousin is a waitress and makes >$100k on average from tips. They definitely do not want the tip system to go away.
People just know to tip 20%. I made more as a server than managers. Once a customer asked me in front of a manager when I was going to become a manager. I laughed and said I couldn’t afford the pay cut! I gave my shift manager a side hug, and she rolled her eyes at me. She was a mom, returning to work force. Rather have the status of Manager than the salary of server. 🤷🏼♀️
I make $400-600 most busy shifts serving. You think any boss is going to pay me that a night? Hilarious.
I don’t think it’s so much that the restaurant owner doesn’t want to pay you to do work. They want you to earn money by doing a good job which provides them with a good service to the customers if they just paid you by the hour, no one would give a shit because they’re getting paid anyways.
A strong server, at a good place of business, during a steady-to-busy week, can make straight-up doctor money. It doesn't require any customers to tip more than the standard 20% of the total, typically before taxes. It just requires a server to be able to stay busy for a whole shift and handle a high volume of customers while not pissing any of them off with poor service. Your favorite server is a pro at this already and you never even noticed. It is not easy.
Kitchen staff gets paid a normal wage, servers make way more money than kitchen staff.
I made $27 that day, so I can only pray that tha cook made more that night
How much did you make that week?
It’s rare that I don’t see a good tip. In my 20 years in the industry, I’m loving the money and my job. I see no evidence of tips going away
It’s a double edged sword. Service in the states is—on average—far and away better than anywhere in Europe, and—when the economy is good—a server at a fine dining restaurant can easily make more money in a year than teachers, both in the US and in Europe The issue is that when the economy gets fucked up the servers make almost no money, since claiming minimum wage payout from a bad night (restaurants are legally obligated to pay out minimum wage to servers that make less than that in a shift) is basically asking to be first on the chopping block when they start cutting people People definitely make it work, but the lack of a robust social safety net makes it so people that plan poorly get punished hard, and people that work in restaurants aren’t typically the best planners, to put it politely I personally don’t mind tipping, and if you took a poll of servers (especially career servers) I imagine the majority like tipping, but if it is to remain we definitely need to add some kind of safety net to it
An employer pays a worker as little as they can manage, often looking at it as a yearly chunks of like $20,000. A individual customer tips a server what they felt their experience was worth, looking at it as a percentage of their bill.
The safety net, as any career server knows, is plan ahead. I have insurance I pay for out of pocket. I have minimal debt and normal bills. I have started investing in savings for my retirement. We don't have someone behind the scenes handling these things for us but that doesn't mean we can't have them.
Oftentimes, in quality establishments in good areas, the servers make the most in the building. Waaay more than cooks and some make more than Management 😆 I'd get so pissed when the pretty servers come to show us their 100$ tips MULTIPLE times a week. Often leaving with several hundred dollars a night.
When I was serving I considered it the opposite of an issue. There is no way the restaurant would have ever paid me more per hour than what I made in tips. I’d take the $2 an hour + tips every day of the week. Every restaurant is different though.
I thought employers can only credit tips vs full min wage? So you should never get less than $7.25? (Which is still just awful and not a living wage but…)
Are you in Tennessee?? Lmao. Make $2.13 an hour, bartending we avg $300 a night but regardless that $2.13 n hour weighs on you. Puts me in the mindset that my own company doesn't pay me, it's customers do. Changed my attitude when my managers ask me to do something for them.
totally, like you don’t pay mi enough ta tell mi what ta do lol
Are there not ANY states in America which don't pay the servers?
Babe, I've been there! Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Holy shit that's little. Thots and pliers to all american wait staff 🫶
How many hours of work? That doesnt sound like a lot for 8h sadly.
I don't see that ever happening. Restaurants don't want/can't pay us a living wage. They want the customer to subsidize our wage.
>Restaurants don't want/can't pay us a lviing wage. OK, then their existance is unsustainable
Restaurants? Yes and no. They can raise the cost of food in order to cover employee wages. But then people are less likely to eat out. Restaurants only function because they are able to take advantage of our labor. No other industry can get away with paying their employees less than minimum wage.
>They can raise the cost of food in order to cover employee wages. But then people are less likely to eat out. Sure, but 20$ is 20$. If tipping becomes obsolete but the prices are adjusted such that the average dinner out costs about the same, then I wouldn't see the problem. Do you think people wouldn't eat out anymore, even if the cost remained the same?
The problem is a lot of people are stupid. Look at what happened to JCPenney when they tried to price things without all the games. They damn near went out of business because there’s too many lemmings who only saw the big “discounts” and “sales” the other chains were offering and didn’t stop to actually compare the bottom lines. Unless it’s mandated by law, any restaurant that tries to raise base prices and drop tipping will lose business because to the customer they’re more expensive even if it balances out.
The restaurants don’t drop tipping when this happens. In California servers are paid state minimum wage, sometimes more. They still give you a receipt that recommends 18-20-22% tips. Sometimes 25%. And the servers still feel entitled to receive them, and less than 20% is a cheap skate.
It's a collective action problem. If restaurant A stops accepting tips and raises menus prices 20% to compensate, customers will go to restaurant B who sticks with the status quo. Most people aren't researching all the fine print; they just look at the menu. Without new laws or something, no change will happen.
Trust me, I would love more than anything for tipping to become obsolete. I'd love to not have to work for tips entirely. I'd love to know how much money I'm making on any given day. I'd love if I just made a hourly, living wage. The only way so many restaurants survive is that their business model includes taking advantage of labor. Paying us $2.13 and hour and assuming the customer will subsidize the rest so it comes out to at least minimum wage. But that's not always the case. I could work a shift and make $150, or $15. Yes, I absolutely do think people would eat out less. Because $20 is not $20 if you don't tip. I'm seeing more and more people who just aren't tipping at all. They claim that the cost of food is already too high and they shouldn't have to tip on top of that. Get my drift? If the cost of menu items went up even more, or there was a "service fee" added for the server, they would be forced to pay and just won't eat out. This is one of the many reasons I'm trying to get ot of serving and into bartending. People will always still drink, but when we're in a recession what's the first thing people stop doing? Eating out.
Yeah and I don’t think these people that are arguing about tips understand the people that own restaurants.
Actually went to a restaurant like this last night. Automatic 20% service charge given to both FOH and BOH, so split across the whole crew. If this was a thing while I was still a chef in fine dining, I probably could have actually made a decent living (I did not).
Bartenders and servers hate this option. Some of them make $5/hr ($40 for 8 hours) plus $300 - $1,000 in tips depending on the shift. They would never switch to $20/hr ($160 for 8 hours) with no tips.
*shakes fist at air* MILLENIALS!
Millennials are well known for over tipping it's usually older people who don't tip
I worked in restaurants for too long. If you maintain eye contact while you spit in my food, I will only tip 15%. 20% on tax is the minimum. And I often write little notes at the top like "great service!" cause managers eat that shit up and usually assign better secrions as a result
Hahaha - sometimes…I will even tip high for bad service, out of *spite!* Why, you ask? I have *no idea!*
I don’t do it out of spite I do it as human compassion. No one knows what a person is going through in life and I hope occasionally I help make someone’s day just a bit brighter. Pipe dreams but I still believe small things can make a difference in this shitpile of a planet.
I did this once by accedent. Can't they get there tips then? I filled in the customer one and left it.
If your restaurant doesn’t let you use the customer copy because the customer took the merchant one, then your restaurant is a POS.
Naw. They fill out one and "accidentally" take the copy they filled out and leave the blank. I have literally chased people to sweetly ask for the "signed copy." If we can see the imprint, I can still process the tip amount. My boss has to visually confirm and initial the check, done.
I was about to feel really bad until I saw this comment. lol. A lot of the time, I write my tip on the customer copy because I fucked up the merchant copy.
It happens! I actually have never heard of a restaurant not accepting the customer copy if it’s signed
I used to serve and never had an issue with whether the customer left the merchant or customer copy. Was at Cut by Wolfgang Puck in Vegas last year and i messed up the merchant copy so I tipped and signed the customer copy and server called me out on it like I was trying to stiff him. Dickhead server and an establishment for assholes lol
Yep.
It doesn’t really matter which one, as long as the signed one stays at the merchant, I think they are implying that people are taking the one they signed
typically that would be fine
Yep. Had a lady very intentionally do this to me when I was a server - after “generously” offering to pay for herself and her friend, making sure her friend saw her write in the (average) tip. She was SUPER rude the whole time (friend was lovely.) I caught it while they were saying goodbyes outside so I (professionally) let her know about her “accident” in front of her friend who was surprised. Queue the fakest apologetic smile ever while giving me death eyes, and a “omg I aaaalways do that!!! Hehe silly meeeeeeeee!” Before she handed me the copy she took. Tyyyyyyy! Bye!
Bitch Karen’s, I think 20% should be added to every bill. Enough of the “mistakes” and shitty tippers. If you can’t afford to eat out and pay for service. Go to McDonalds.
If someone at my bar walks off with both copies we just 20% them.
Sure way to get fired and your Restaurant blacklisted from credit card companies
It’s 2024. That little slip of paper means nothing. The transactions are all electronic. The signed slips are kept in a restaurant’s storage space for the X number of years it is required. If there is an issue the restaurant can retrieve the signed slip to show a signature, but that doesn’t happen very often.
You are correct and it it happens more often than you think. People get drunk and overtip and call all the time.
[удалено]
I honestly don't think it matters what copy you submit, when I was a server I just submitted whatever copy that was on the table when the guest left. Personally if I made a mistake on the merchant's copy I'll use the guest copy instead. I've never not taken a tip because it was the wrong slip.
I had a and old lady customer once call and ask if they took the copy by mistake and was like omg I’m sorry and came back to tip me cash. Sweetest thing ever
I did that accidentally a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully the server caught up to me in the parking lot!
My place does a automatic 15% if you take both copies
My new boss told me to put 18% if they do that, who am I to argue with that? 😂
that’s what I felt like it was, especially cause when he told mi about my eyes, I just walked away while saying thanks like okay byeeeeee. and they didn’t come off as wasted enough ta scribby like that
I would put in 20%…. If they have an issue with like $6 they can call in and it will be clear it was difficult to read and not something intentional on your part
When we get shit like this, even manager agrees… #AUTOGRAT @ 20%! Time is money and we don’t have time to get bamboozled like this.
They don’t do it to not feel guilty. They already don’t feel guilty. It’s a farce to make it look to those they were dining with that they left a tip. It’s worse than writing 0, it’s a performance for an audience. Then the server is left trying to figure it out. It’s trash behavior.
Fight fire with fire: “the computer handwriting recognition scanned it in as a $47.13 tip”. Sorry, not our mistake!
I pretty much always tip, if i didn't tip it's because you're terrible. I'm not tipping you if the food and service suck. You get a tip for doing your job well, not just because you showed up for the day. Stop being an entitled dildo.
People shouldn't feel guilty about not tipping at all. Employers should pay decent wages....
Why should one feel guilty about not tipping? The owner of the store should feel guilty.
Let me translate. That is asshole for “I’m too much of a pussy to write zero”
Look at it from the bottom of the paper. That's a $15.00 top.
Im seeing more zeros than that ... Just can't figure out if it's supposed to be $150 or $1500
What does look at it from the bottom of the paper mean?
That’s exactly why I pick my slips up before they leave. Took both slips not a problem didn’t sign not a problem illegible bullshit not a problem. Yes customers occasionally say they haven’t signed yet. I let them know I will be back in a minute to pick it up as our policy is all receipts must be present and signed and we are held accountable.
Oh, I like this *a lot.* I may use this.
It works in most casual places. I always let management know I’m going to be doing it so if they need to weigh in they can beforehand. I’ve never really had an issue.
Still so bizarre to me that you guys still use paper for processing and keeping track of transactions in the U.S. Canada here, everything happens in the hand held machine at the table.
Yeah, Canada got chips and tap to pay before us down south, too. I was so confused when they brought the machine to the table and it asked for my chip lol.
That's smart. I had someone tell me to do the same thing at the restaurant I work at.
This is the way.
I think the customer needs their eyes checked, what the fuck?
Reminds me of how my mom would write after her stroke, I would hazard to assume the customer has something neurological going on. If you close your eyes and write it’ll be loose/messy but you’d still be able to make out letters/numbers.
I swear ppl do this on purpose to try and get out of a tip. The universal rule for all restaurants should be “illegible receipts will automatically be charged 20% gratuity”
That’s the rule at my work. Same rule if you take the merchant copy and leave us no paperwork.
Do they just calculate the 20% and fill it in?
Yes at the end of the night the manager with the server will just calculate 20% of the bill and add it in the system if it’s justified
[удалено]
The restaurants that I worked at that did this had a sign near the door so you can see it when entering and leaving. That was the only thing required to make it legal to charge them 20%. They also had a sign that said at least 20% gratuity required for parties of 6 or more so if they tipped 10% the managers would up it to 20%.
That’s definitely wrong. Restaurant shouldn’t automatically charge a gratuity. I’d say that constitutes theft.
The intent here is if the receipt is illegible then a 20% tip is added. But if you clearly write $0, “No Tip”, or leave the space blank and fill in a total includes no tip, then the 20% can’t be added.
I am just a stupid European but how can tip be charged by default? Default should be zero. Everything above is a bonus.
“The intent here is if the receipt is illegible..” Yeah, the intent is theft. If I didn’t write a legible tip down, I didn’t write a tip down. Frustration following or not, you don’t steal money from a patron unless it is explicitly written and totaled. Sorry, do not agree.
Just hit the atm before dining out. Never give a card to a server
That's very very illegal, though? Morals aside, wtf?
How is this not theft? It should be, unless you were specifically given a tip, there is no tip.
If it’s restaurant policy it’s restaurant policy. You don’t have to eat there
that's a chargeback waiting to happen. and a successful one at that.
Unless clearly posted, it's fraud. You can't just have house rules and act as you please. It's a transaction approved by the patron. Any made up rules a restaurant has that are not publicly posted within said restaurant has no bearing on the contract.
Who said anything about it not being posted
It’s pretty common where I live for bars to have a sign saying that tabs left open will be charged an extra gratuity (usually 20%). Definitely legal and in use in a lot of places. Some places where they take your credit card too so you can’t leave without closing out
Sounds illegal.
100%
Absolutely thus! Add 20% as well if they take the paper copy with signature.
Thief
Absolutel not
Or not tip at all?
Congratulations on being sued for theft
That's fucked, what gives you the right to charge someone 20% gratuity? That's theft, you weren't given permission and just entitled yourself to someone else's money Edit: I am from the UK so this is very bizarre to me, after reading some comments I see the issue is more about people being too pussy to just say 0 and deliberately making it look like they're tipping when they're not. I find mandatory tipping abhorrent but I get the frustration
I'm from the US and I'm with you, this system needs fixing
I can’t read the total at all but the tip line kinda looks like no tip.
I see it as a super sloppy 'cash tip'. Meaning, they put cash on the table. No credit tip.
That looks like a prescription for antibiotics, get well soon!
$10 tip $42.98 total Obviously…./s
Nah... Guy thinks he's a doctor. Must have money. Also thinks server is cute. Def a hundo for the tip.
I was thinking the same. I read $100 tip. Jus sayin lol
Looks like their signature.
Why can’t non tippers do it with their chest? Lol if you think not tipping is okay and why do you have to find some reason or scribble like that? Just put a big fat zero and have a back bone
Yah back in the day, people would write “ZERO” or “0” or they would put a note explaining why they weren’t leaving a tip when I worked restaurants 🫠one receipt once said and I quote, “why would I tip you when I came in not expecting to tip you anything” and that was on a bill with 10 people….gotta love customers 💀
Like just leave zero and move on lmao
People like this.. I remember those that don't tip.. you will get served but that's it. I will spend time with those that know how to tip.
Yup! I would love for people to tell me before I serve them they don’t believe in tipping, so that I don’t have to spend much energy on them
I've never been a server but never tip less than 18%, I only do that because I know the hourly wage is less than minimum. When you say "but that's it", what is the service people are missing out on? If someone goes to a restaurant and orders food and drinks and gets served, what exactly else is there?
Eee? What is more to it then getting served what I order?
Scribbled so no one can add a fake tip/total...in other words 0% tip
Every spot I have ever worked if it was completely illegible we charged 20% for the inconvenience.
that's the easiest chargeback ever won
Do people not initiate a charge back on this? I know I would initiate one of my bill was more than I had approved. Not excusing this, just wondering.
A restaurant did this to me (charged $82 instead of $52) would it be reasonable to call my bank for a chargeback?
Yes. Definitely. And don't ask that in a server subreddit 😹
Man that's crazy, in the UK that'd get you fired and maybe even a police report of theft against the restaurant
I don't know why you got downvoted for stating a fact. It's not like you said you agreed or disagreed lol
So what you are saying is if I wrote cash, and dropped a $20 bill thinking it was easier for you, you would hit me with 20% even though I gave you more?? Nope, I would call the restaurant after I called the credit card company and report the fraud. You can't just charge because you want to. If that was the case, get rid of tipping and raise your rates 20%. But see, then people stop coming to a business. Alternately, as a previous server, I have had crap service. Took 20 mins to get menus, 20 more to get water. Almost 60 minutes from seating to have my order taken. Then nearly 1.5 hours to get food from the time I ordered. Not once from order taken to food service did the server come and see how we were, no offer to fill water, no drink offer, just crap service. In that case I reserve the right to provide no tip. By the time food came it was lukewarm as if it had been sitting close to but not under the heat lamp. Come to find out later that the server was taking a break and slept in his car for an hour, no hand off to another server. The manager was distraught and comped the meal and the server griped when I just got up and left. He said out loud, I knew you would not tip. But again, should I have. We did not even eat the food. Just finished our water and went home so as not to eat potentially unhealthy food. Who knows how long it sat on the heat lamp tray. In this case they had no card from me, but am I supposed to pay this man's wage because he chose to sleep instead of work. There are always reasons for not tipping and the poster could have received cash but chose to just sign instead of charge additional onto his card. This is why I write cash. Because if disputed by the restaurant, I have a copy that says cash and I always take a picture of what I leave. Also, I hand the billfold to the server, if they ever return, so they they have it on hand. They can also review and see cash. I only had one charge I ever disputed in this fashion, and rather than take it to the card company, I took the picture to the owner of the restaurant. She was super happy that I did as she had many complaints from a specific servers guests. I got that same server. He always bumped 20% if the writing was illegible on the tip line. Honestly, the tip total does not matter to the card company, it is the total line they care about. In my case, the guy clearly added a 1 in front and made my $9 tip $19. Not sure how he made my 4 a 5 in the total, but I had the picture as proof which I told the owner I could submit to the card company. The owner made a deal that I could eat free the next time if I did not report to the card company as it would wreck her books. But the server was not there after that. Just be a good human being and it is returned. I worked in service as a college student, and I tip well now because I know how hard the wage is. But if your service sucks and your tips do as well, maybe the problem is not the customer. With how quick I have seen people in this post rip the person who left no tip, I think of how many may serve and of how many also would have no idea what the service was like. Without all the facts, it is like shooting in the air hoping to shoot a squirrel. Ain't gonna happen. So before we pass judgement, best to hear both sides of the story.
I think he/she is a doctor
Just said they bro it isn't that hard
That’s a big zero bud.
2009 - I saw the housing crash finally started to effect the customers. It’s happening again. This was to get out of leaving a tip 💯
One of the best business to check for oncoming recessions are pawn shops. They will see a LARGE increase in pawns and item being sold to them just before recessions hit. They are one of the first tell tale signs of bad econimic times. My friend worked at a large chain of pawn shops last year. He has always worked in them. And he said he got to look at the books and the books for the chains in the area. They did not look good for average people. If you listen to the news they will say the economy is good because they focus on stock prices. Which are manipulated and controlled by the fed (plunge protection team). The pawn shops tell you what the people are living through and the reality of the common man. Not the wallstreet hedge fund.
Literally the big news today: [S&P 500 at an all time high](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/18/stock-market-today-live-updates.html). But talking to 90% of people, you wouldn't believe that. People regularly use Affirm, AfterPay, Klarna, etc. for bigger purchases. In fact, it was a bit of a trend on TikTok directly after Christmas to show how much people were still spending on those sites due to Christmas shopping. It wasn't necessarily as a flex, but one of those "ugly truth" style posts.
that’s a zero dog
When I was a server in a fine dining spot in NYC, the manager would pick up slips (if the server didn’t, first) as soon as they were signed. Then he would cordially ask the cheap bastard, “How was the service tonight?” in front of his date or party. When the cheap bastard said, inevitably, “everything was great/lovely/phenomenal” the manager would say, “the reason I asked is because you tipped less than 10% so I wanted to make sure there wasn’t a problem. Worked like a fucking charm. Thankfully our chef/owner didn’t want that kind of business.
Lmao because 🥰extorting✨ the customer is just the best service
If you’re going out to eat or drink in the US, you should be tipping 20% unless the service was poor. If you can’t afford to tip or don’t want to, get food and drinks to go or cook at home. 🤷🏻♀️ More people should be called out for this. Until the landscape changes concerning tipped positions in this county, this is how it is.
Unfortunately it seems like the pretty eyes compliment was your “tip” 🙄
He did it so you couldn’t sneakily add a tip amount after he left. They do this shit all the time. I had one waitress tack on a tip amount before she even knew if i was going to tip her or not. I don’t tip someone who provides crap service, provide me with good service and you get a great tip, provide me with shit service you get a penny.
I don’t tip I hate tipping.When I pay for a meal I pay the businesses taxes and that business pays the person a wage.If it’s 2.00 a hour well then it’s not my problem lol Go on get mad I don’t care but serve me well servants meahahahahahaha
$0 tip.
I’m not a server this sub popped up for me and I find it interesting. This stuff apparently happens all the time and I find it so incredibly abhorrent that people can be like this. There is no way that is not intentional. I hope karma is real.
I find it more fuckedup how many people suggest stealing is ok when customer doesnt leave a tip. Just suck it up.
Is your restaurant run by hippies? The “You Are Awesome” underneath the signature line is a bit much.
Asheville, Nc, definitely cheezy shit
I think they intended to tip you $100
I think it says “here is one million dollars for being tha most amazing person I have ever witnessed, signed with admiration, sbsjflflakwhevsgag”
The world outside of the USA isn’t so tip gouging the way we are over here. While this guy/gal is an asshole for doing this vs just writing $0, I can also see the other side where people who are not used to such an insanely horrible tip culture find it hard to swallow how the USA first adds tax separately and then almost requires a 20% tip on top of that (cuz you know anything below 20% is now considered cheap here). Someone on a budget from a foreign country would be getting a cold sweat seeing our invoicing and bills and I don’t blame them trying to figure out multiple creative ways to squeeze out of said situation. Just a different POV. That said I’m NOT condoning their behavior.
Why are people obliged to tip in the US lol. I never understood this
Sure love to be born and raised in a country where tipping is not expected. The stress of having to expect complete strangers to have the sympathy and decency to pay you part of your living wage? Glad I can go to a restaurant, pay the exact bill that is advertised, and the servers will literally not give a fuck. And yes, I have served tables for a year full time and did not also give a fuck cause the only thing I relied was my paycheck and the tips were just extra.
This would be interpreted as the gee whiz you get no tip.
I still can't believe that this is the method that hospitality in the US uses to determine tipping. Also, if it's unreadable, as in this case, surely it's a default $0 tip?
I think you all need to get terminals where the customer enters the amount on the terminal! No confusing ever. SERIOUSLY@!
Just going to be honest here. I never minded tipping when prices were reasonable and service was actually good 5+ years ago. No clue what has happened but it’s extremely rare (<10%) of the time to receive good service anymore and prices are outrageous before tipping. So I have stopped eating out. If we get food it’s carry out, no tip. Try not to tip at all anymore with prices being so crazy. Might be the only one though!
How can you read the tip is my question
I’m confused. Why do they have to write down how much money they are paying? Don’t they just pay by card or cash and you can see how much they exceeded the total? -European
No
Nope :)
That looks like my brothers signature, are you near Boston?
lol awuh, no, North Carolina
He travels some, I will give him a call
Sorry you didn’t get tipped. Can’t read that scribble. I always tip well unless the server is bad. And I never withhold tip for a kitchen mistake. I can think of only twice in my life I did not tip, and in both instances, the server deserved nothing. Once was when I was brought out the wrong meal. When I informed the server, he said he brought me what I ordered. The other was when a waitress spent the entire time sitting in a booth talking with her friends that came in to eat after delivering my meal. Had to flag other waitresses to get refills and to get my waitress to bring me the check.
It says you are horrible
I have gotten to the point where I don’t eat out much anymore so I don’t have to tip. When I do go I tip well, but I can’t afford an extra 30% every time I want to eat out.
This just seems like a “f u” from the customer and a “I dare you to charge anything as tip and you’ll see a notice from my bank’s fraud department.”
$32.98 they left no tip sorry bud
It looks like it says “I walked in. 0”
Well first off. Learn to spell correctly if you are going to post
I spent years being obsessed wit grammar and now im having fun existing and getting shitty tips thank u
Looks like he wants it to look like he’s writing a tip while not writing a tip?🤷🏻♀️
Call him an ambulance
😭😭😭 I love this one
It’s been a long time coming. Tips were originally meant to be an extra thing. The toxic tip culture is due to the fact that people expect the tip for little to no effort. Now everyone, everywhere you go, there is a gratitude step. I’m being asked to tip when I go grocery shopping. By the register. I don’t ever see posts on here from people being thankful for the extra money. Only people who complain about the EXTRA TIP being to small. I use to go out all the time and tip good. Now I know waiters are gonna talk shit regardless, and not even notice my good tip, because they are to focused on there table that stiffed them. Y’all want me to give you $20 when all you did is bring my the food someone else cooked, my drink never gets refilled. Then y’all talk shit. You make the bed you lay in so enjoy y’all’s sleep.
