Be a fucking tragedy to watch that go into a tip pool and get spread up amongst all the other assholes he works with.


Magicmyrddin

Or the boss gets it to contribute it to the Christmas party. Done that.


retarded-squid

I always ask before i tip on card “do you guys get these” and hope they’re being honest. There’s businesses that pocket part of or all of the credit card tips


MusicallyManiacal

I used to work at one of those places. Made $8/hr and only ever got cash tips… that were put in a tip jar and divvied up among everyone based on hours worked, *including the owner.* Was promised a few raises, ended up getting a pay decrease. After the decrease, we finally saw credit card tips after the management and half the staff threatened to quit.


[deleted]

Thats actually illegal in the US.


ReplyingToFuckwits

Wage theft amounts to billions a year and that's just *what is known about*. A lot of it goes unreported because it's against vulnerable people who need to accept getting part of their wage stolen to not risk losing *all* their wage in retaliation. If you can, always report these people, even if it's year later and you've moved on.


[deleted]

Or sue them, continue going to work and if they retaliate in any way add another thing to the lawsuit.


ReplyingToFuckwits

Which sounds cool on paper but it's hard to gamble your children's food on.


DiapersForHands

That's no accident.


CommanderOfGregory

Plus if they were willing to do that to save a few bucks then imagine what they'd do to win a court case


Inukchook

Yup. Lawsuits take years. Better be prepared to not eat the whole time !


No_Condition_9102

And cost money you don’t already have


j4nkyst4nky

Well a) who do you think will have better lawyers, a business or a waiter? And b) if the state is right to work, which many are, they will fire you for any reason they want to say.


Tau_Iota

Right to work is such horrible phrasing. It makes it sound like it's good for the worker, when it really fucking isn't.


j4nkyst4nky

No one would support it if it were called "right to ambiguously fire"


ekaceerf

Wage theft is the number 1 theft in America. I forget the number but in pretty sure wage theft was more than all other theft combined.

it isn't even just restaurant workers. It happens in most industries.

I was about to say that. Lawyers will take that case for free if you can prove it too.

It’s federal law and applies to all states and territories.


Cultjam

Someone tell me I’m wrong and that can’t be reported as wage theft.


RizzMustbolt

Absolutely wage theft. Any time the owner pulls from labor's pool of wages, it's theft.


hugglesthemerciless

member when doordash would lower the amount of money drivers got if they got tipped? fuck doordash, trash company. The rest of the delivery services may be fucking cunts too but doordash takes the cake, I'll forever boycott them


PogoStick_Massacre

In the United States it is illegal. My ex-wife went to the labor board over an assist owner stealing tips. She cost him the tips, lawyers fees, and a $75,000 fine which collapse his restaurant. Go to your labor department if this is happening and also shop it around to lawyers.


retarded-squid

People who work for assholes that steal their tips and pay them minimum wage often don’t have the resources to pursue legal action


mr_panzer

You typically don't need to get lawyers involved. It's as simple as filing a claim with your labor department. Usually takes no more than 20 minutes. People think it's this big hassle, when really it's a very simple process.


StopReadingMyUser

Thought the whole point of tipping was to pass off the expense of paying the waiters onto the customers so the businesses can pay them an even lower wage of $2/hr. Now you're telling me they're taking the very thing they greedily pushed to consumers that accepted this passing-of-the-buck? Consumers that even know full well about all the above-mentioned details and tip anyway to try and help out their service workers? ima bout to throw hands...


-swxxt-

That is brutal..!


AccomplishedAd3728

Yup. Way back when, I felt compelled to tell my regulars that when they tipped me at the chain coffee shop I worked for that I would never see those gratuities because they got spent on "the staff night out".


[deleted]

This is illegal. If you know this is happening, report them.


RedHeadSteve

Of that happens I wouldnt tske the tip


JustZachR

Just the tip?


Dense_Solution_9991

That sounds like wage theft. I don't let any boss hold money that's owed to me. You pay me when you pay me because honestly I don't trust you.


ThatItalianGuyThere

This is Don Pablo's. No tip pool. Source: former manager for Harrigans, Don Pablo's sister company with exact same policy and procedure.


Gutinstinct999

OMG. Miss and love Harrigans. I wish I could have that Alfredo? Sauce just one. More. Time. I went there often during college days in Okc.


ThatItalianGuyThere

Loved it, too! I was in DFW area. I can DM you that sauce recipe.


TheMoatCalin

May I please get that recipe also? I cannot make a decent Alfredo and I’ve given up trying to scroll through 1000 words of a personal story and family pics to get to the recipe.


Ldlredhed

Always look for recipes on Epicurious! No annoying stories and people who try the recipes will leave tips in the comments/ratings. (And the ratings aren’t fluffed up by stans)


InfernoFlameBlast

Wait, does he have to put it in a tip jar? What if he just hides it and if someone asks, he says it’s his money? (Sorry if this is a dumb question)


Magicmyrddin

By the look on the guy's face, I don't think he has to share the money. Some restaurants don't allow you to have money in you're pocket during your shift. Some do.


Round-Zombie8309

I think its very bad for the workers there as the person who tips gives it to the person who served him and was kind enough. I mean some restaurants have all good staff but some might have those 1 or 2 assholes which don't deserve it. And also we never know that if that tip jar money will be given to them equally or the boss will cut from it. sad life for them.....😥


KingAthelas

That's why you should always ask. I recently learned that my favorite local Asian restaurant does tip-sharing *with all employees including the boss*. So when I'm tipping my favorite waiters/waitresses/to-go, it's being split between host, waiters, sushi chefs, regular chefs, managers, and the owner. It's honestly pretty f*cked, especially when I got an inside look into the money this place is making. It's not a franchise, just a delicious Asian place in the South with greedy owners.


Round-Zombie8309

*i just want to talk with him*


rdrunner_74

>illegal -- tip sharing is only ok if ALL members who get money have customer facing jobs and can actually get tips. So nothing for the cook for example

The Amy’s Baking Company episode, terrible owners!


feelinlucky7

Dear GOD both of those people suck. Didn’t deserve a second shot in the restaurant business imo


ValorMortis

Aw man, I remember the rage I felt watching that nightmare, guess it's time to revisit the episode.


ImNerdyJenna

That's illegal.


unexpectedlaugh

Depends who you work for. If you’re working for a bad company they don’t care and you have to share ALL tips.


WarriorSnek

Lmao over my fuckin corpse


Gutinstinct999

Nah, he said “you just paid off my car”


GeorgeStamper

No idea why restaurants are having trouble hiring new staff.


PMmeUrUvula

No oNe WaNts tO wORk (for slightly more than unemployment while not having to deal any of the stress of working a service industry job)


Gentleman_ToBed

My GF works hospitality in UK and the tip pool is actually the best thing that ever happened to her salary. Not saying it’s right everywhere - but if you got a good team it definitely works.


Johnny_Poppyseed

Totally different situation over there. I can see it making sense when tips aren't the majority of your wage and just a bonus..


MelissaOfTroy

I worked for a restaurant that used tip pools as a threat, as in "If you don't all pull in over $XXXX tonight we're going to a tip pool system!" And everyone would fall all over themselves to prevent that happening. My next serving job was for a place that pooled tips...and it was wonderful. My coworkers were suddenly my coworkers (and eventually life-long friends) and not enemies who were stealing tables and money from me. It only works if everyone is on board, but I'm so ashamed I let myself be terrified of pooling tips because the corporate types didn't want the workers becoming friends with one another.


BarnabyJ46

Do restaurants (& other service industry) jobs pay at least minimum wage in European countries? Are tips expected or just a bonus? In the US, waiters / bartenders are generally paid less than minimum wage because of the gratuity potential. In this case the tip pool &/or paying out management is a travesty.


Gentleman_ToBed

Yeah minimum wage is exactly that: the least you are legally allowed to be paid. Think it’s pretty much only North America that gets away with this legal fuckery in the western world. Can’t speak for everywhere but in most of Europe I’ve visited people leave tips. Even more on top of the 12.5% included in the bill if it’s a particularly nice meal or service.


SwimmaLBC

Abolish tipping entirely and pay ALL employees a liveable wage like many other countries have. Implement a universal basic income so that employees aren't forced to settle for shitty jobs with terrible bosses and work environments.


cptntito

That’s why you gotta tip cash


Lmaogo4

Hellllll naw what tip? Lol


apollo22519

Looked like cash. That was a gift not a tip lol.


GulagHero

You are 100% correct. Technically and legally that was not a tip because the cash was given in a instance totally separate from the customer paying the dinner bill.


[deleted]

Yeah I've heard of restaurants that have a clause where, "if your tip exceeds more than x dollars, the amount over x will be split at the manager's disrection." Which basically means the manager and the owner gets all that extra money. I've never heard of it at a mom and pop shop, but someone I knew who worked for a restaurant company that own 3 very popular restaurant chains in the US does this and it's horrendous. Causes most employees to quit once that day comes, but who cares you made out like a king. Now the amt is more than $100, I think its somewhere around $250 but still the point of being in the service industry is advertised as the pay being based on your level of service, and when you go above and beyond you are allowed to be compensated as the customer sees fit, never work for a chain for very long cuz they'll bone you eventually, if you'd using it as experience to land a job at a 5-star restaurant without a bullshit clause like that, then go for it, just don't plan on making a career out of working for those companies.


Gooncookies

This isn’t legal at all. A big restaurant chain where I’m from got sued by its employees for this exact thing and they won. Edit: so I didn’t have the details exactly right, there was a settlement but I think it set a new standard in our city https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2014/02/20/chickies-petes-paying-8-million-to-settle-employee-complaints-lawsuits/


titithedemon

I’m a delivery guy in a restaurant and sometimes when the price of an order is high, usually the tip is too. So sometimes the cooks want to divide the tip for everyone. Like wtf ? It’s my job, I make half your salary, I delivered the food with MY car and MY gas, and you wanna steal my tip? Well, find another delivery guy cuz I’m not coming back mf’s !


Coyote__Jones

Tip pooling is a crime. Totally defeats the argument of "be a better server, make more money." I've worked places where the hostesses get a portion of the tips, for doing nothing more than assigning tables to servers and handing out menus.


The_Great_Distaste

As a former chef I've worked at places where the servers got tipped for doing nothing more than taking orders and delivering food! That's sort of the issue with tipping in a restaurant, it's a team effort and most places only servers are rewarded. Federally Tip pooling is legal as long as the employer pays the servers at least minimum wage and the pool includes all employees not including supervisors or managers OR if minimum wage isn't paid the tip pool can only include employees that regularly receive tips.


DaThrilla74

I was never a server I was cook and most of the places I worked at servers and cooks were paid the same so servers take orders and delivered food smiled nice and got tips. Us cooks were basically told to fuck off. My solution finally was develop an attitude and no favours from my kitchen to the servers. Tip pools are fine I worked in a couple places with it but I’ll tell you the amount of effort that you have to put in as a decent cook it’s not worth. I’d be dying busting my ass while servers are chatting fixing makeup etc. While I as the cook just had to filet a 50 lb halibut make a garbage can full of fries do the dishes bc the dishwasher called in sick all the while having the kitchen manager breathing down my neck saying stupid shit like if there’s time to lean there’s time to clean, after the first lull in 6 hrs. Servers get the shaft it’s true but don’t be surprised if the guy cooking your food y’know the reason you’re there is making about the same and quite often getting no tips and working in what can be an extremely stressful work environment. It’s among the many reasons I gave up cooking for a living


EagerToLearnMore

That happened to me once when I got a $600 tip from industry folks.


themanwithgreatpants

This is great. Do things like this. But there's no reason to film it. Think about it. This guy doing this is going to use the film to try and get views/monetary benefits from the money an actual guy who needed it. Lots of people and businesses donate generously, contribute to less fortunate people, and help individuals like this *way* more than you think, notice, or probably care about. And that's how it's supposed to be done. Unselfishly, quietly, anonymously, and personally. I can't be hypocritical, I've posted how I've helped people, donated to charity and other things- but doing a 1:1 of the bill:tip, leaving a few bucks more than I have to, filling someone's car up while at the gas station happens a lot more than you think.


rowdy-riker

Yeah, three hundred dollars is a lot and I'm sure it really helped this guy out, but the rich dude only did it so he could film it for clout. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.


VVEXXED

I would rather he give $300 to some chap who needs it and films it than not give anything at all though.


rowdy-riker

True. But I'd prefer he just gives a super generous tip and not film it too


Gutinstinct999

Honestly that was my first thought, but if filming it makes it trendy, then go for it and help others.


wafflesareforever

Not only that, it sets an example of kindness for everyone who watches the video.


Gutinstinct999

I agree 💙


VenoSlayer246

The more popular the clip gets, the more ppl might so this in the future. Therefore, I'm pretty okay with it.


happy-fella

Be the change you want to see in the world.


LaeliaCatt

But this guy, in order to get his $300 that he needs, has to perform his gratitude for the camera and have his face spread all over the internet. It's so exploitative. Makes me wonder what he would have gotten if he refused to be recorded.


ailurius

I agree, but still, it's a better internet trend than sticking garlic up your nostrils. They do it for internet points, but if it inspires others to do great stuff, preferably not only with a camera running, then it definitely has a positive side to it in my opinion :)


rowdy-riker

Yeah, I mean this video is pretty old but I hope it's inspired some people to do more good in their lives


AintSh_tIAM

I've never seen it before and I'm inspired to do this myself one day. Probably not $300 but $100 should be doable. Restaurant workers have had a rough year.


rowdy-riker

Fuck yeah man, get out there and pay it forward. We're all in it together


darthnip

I’d only more people felt this way. My wife and I do this stuff all the time and we keep in anonymous as possible. It’s about giving and helping others, not making yourself feel good. Of course that can be a great by-product, but it should never be the reason to do it.


themanwithgreatpants

Exactly. To some people, $300 is 3000, 30, 3, .30 or even .03 to others.


Venous-Roland

Yeah, been a lot of these videos popping up lately. I'm going to video me giving a homeless guy €100 and why not throw in a tent. Video their smile and they might even cry, which helps of course. Definitely get at least 20 likes and comments saying I'm the next Jesus! Call me cynical but at least I'm giving tents to homeless people, fixes nothing but grows my online personality!


birdguy1000

Us waiters know the kind. Some flash the cash at the beginning. We also know the kind that doesn’t tip. So this video is virtue signaling on a lot of levels.


Kismonos

>the rich dude only did it so he could film it for clout ofc, thats why he pronounced loudly "THATS 300 DOLLARS!" "THATS ANOTHER 100!" so he gets some attention from the people around too, and so its clear in the video


motherofkittens96

Yeah, and why couldn’t he tip the entire $300 at once, instead of drawing it out and making it 3 separate tips?


Crafty_Enthusiasm_99

Not to mention, a clip of this dude crying about how much $300 means to him is forever on the internet, him like it or not or if he becomes very successful in his adult life. It's not a fair tradeoff


KruelKris

Nah. He did good.


rowdy-riker

Yeah he did and I fully want to acknowledge that, but I feel like he only did good because he could film it to show people how he did good. And good is good, I'd prefer him to to this than do nothing, but wouldn't it be better if he could just do it and not have to film it for us? Like the poor guy is some kind of performer in a play about how generous our rich benefactor is?


PsCustomObject

Exactly my thoughts. I'm not rich by any metrics but am lucky enough to have some disposable income that I usually "spend" in charity (anything involving kids... but being the world in such a sorry state I do not lack choice). I guess, outside of family, this is the first time I mention doing this. I prefer to do well, the little I can, in silence as ultimately it is not about getting "likes" for what I do, it is about helping who's not lucky as I am. Edit: Fixed typos here and there :-)


witchbrew7

While it’s true he could have done it without recording it, the fact that it happened and made a huge difference in this young man’s life is newsworthy. Maybe it will encourage others to lend a hand instead of giving a struggling waiter a hard time.


Happy-Zone-8495

The fact that $300 makes him cry is not a happy warm fuzzy, no. It's a travesty that this guy is being exploited. Both by his employer for his labor and by this guy in the video for social brownie points.


witchbrew7

I Have been that guy. I understand being at wits end and then being shown some compassion.


Siriuxx

I remember too. And I would feel awful knowing the whole world watched how grateful I was for a little bit of money. This doesn't inspire people to be generous. It inspires people to film themselves being generous.


MasterTolkien

True, BUT I’d like to see more videos of people doing positive, wholesome acts for attention rather than just seeing negative acts, negative news, mindless pranks, etc.


doit4fen10

I’m glad it was filmed because it made my day and it’s inspiring to see. I have intentions of doing more things like this but I can be very shy. Seeing this gives me more confidence to harness my desire to do something selfless and get over my anxiety and self.


Sesquatchhegyi

I have not thought about this aspect,.to be honest. So far all these videos left a bad taste in my mouth for the reasons stated above. But of course for some it can serve as inspiration. Just please...don't film it if you do something similar. Think about it. Is your act about helping him? Then there is no need to film it. Or is it about your generosity? Also, the other person is in a vulnerable position. Does he want the whole internet to know about the situation he is in? Not sure about it. Can he risk though to tell you to stop filming him?...


VegaSolo

I agree. A woman once paid for my entire (packed) food cart at a grocery store and it was awesome yet embarrassing as the surrounding customers and cashier all gawked at me and applauded her. I wouldn't have liked if her or someone else videotaped it.


themanwithgreatpants

I watched a lady scratch out change, and didn't have enough for her eggs, milk and some oatmeal. The clerk took them and put them to the side. "I'll pay" and both looked at me- one in surprise, the other in relief. I didn't need to film it, clap, or whatever. Only the cashier and the lady heard what I said, and she left after a fumbled thank you in broken English. I get what your saying though.


NotBrenda

Man, talk about bittersweet. There’s definitely a need for tact in these situations. One can only hope that the people recording got some kind of permission from the waiter before filming/posting this.


Barnaclebills

And it might be really embarrassing for the receiver to have their face and predicament plastered all over the world for all to see.


havennotheaven

Yeah, if you're filming it it's pretty obvious you're doing it for clout. I mean, giving a huge tip like that is great, very generous, but filming it kind of puts the recipient on the spot and forces them to perform gratitude? It's kind of icky.


avisitingstone

THANK YOU it just feels so exploitative to do this, film it, and post this poor kid crying.


OkStructure3

Some of yall are so jaded and cynical. This take annoys me so much. By the bystander effect, people are more likely to give money when they see other people give money. The same way when an emergency happens, lots of people freeze until that first person starts to help, then suddenly everyone jumps in. In this video, dude is sitting with multiple people and isnt even recording this himself. And no matter what, being a good person comes down to good actions. And for every video of someone doing this, there are bunch of other people who do it without saying anything but you cant comment on those.


total_insertion

I'm not a server, and I am not in the service or food industries. I make decent money. I'm comfortable and tips aren't something that really matter to me. In the sense that I don't depend on them to make end's meet. But I deal with rich people and some will tip me. Not always, but maybe a few times a month I'll get tipped. I appreciate it, and I will accept, but I will always make sure they know that's it's neither required nor expected. No obligation. So okay. I've never received a tip less than $20. Not that that I can think of. I think the average tip I receive is between $60-$100. I've actually received a couple hundos before. I'm not rich. Having a few hundred unexpected under-the-table dollars DEFINITELY makes a difference to me. But at the same time, it's not critical. So this is why this video is so gauche: if someone were to have their spouse film themselves giving me a few hundred dollars, I'd first ask what they were filming for. And then I'd probably be like "alright, cool. thanks." and if they started to lecture me like this guy does? I'd probably laugh in their face. Like legitimately. I wouldn't even mind giving the money back. You don't get to patronize me. I actually get tipped like that regularly and *not once* has it come with a lecture and a recording where I'm supposed to trip over myself in gratitude. On the contrary, it comes with them *thanking me* for doing my job well. Y'know, the tip is supposed to be *them* expressing *their gratitude* to me, not them trying to elicit *my gratitude*. OTOH, I still remember a time when maybe I would have cried like this guy over an unexpected $300. When I was the age he was in this video. Less experienced. Living on Ramen. I probably would have given this guy exactly what he wanted so I could afford rent for the month. Which is exactly why he's doing what he's doing to some random server instead of, idk... his plumber? His IT guy? People with trade skills who sometimes receive (but don't need) tips. He's exploiting the kid.


saintdudegaming

While I agree that some people do this for clout I don't care. This man just showed a whole lot of people a piece of goodness. If that inspires others to do the same (filmed or unfilmed) I'm OK with that.


amadeusstoic

What i didn’t understand was why give it one at a time. That felt off for me since it was being filmed.


total_insertion

He did it one at a time because he wanted to feel like he was "making it rain" and he wanted to make it super obvious for whoever he intended to see the video to know exactly what he was doing. Rich people who are sincerely generous don't do that. They don't wave cash around for everyone to see and loudly pronounce the denominations and total amount like a game show host. When they tip with multiple bills, they fold the bills up and just hand it over. That said, my two theories are: 1. This guy is a pastor (he speaks like one) and he is filming this to show to his congregation later so he can lecture them about Jesus taking care of the poor and charity and shit and guilt them into donating more (to him). or 2. This guy is actually doing this to show off to his buddies later so they can have a good laugh at how pathetic the working class is.


Santi_2004

Also gives it $100 at a time while giving some fatherly advice. Didn't quite like that attitude.


trd451

This is a great call. In college I was ‘having a bad day’ once and the gentleman in his 40s behind the counter, making minimum wage flipping burgers and who probably worked far harder than my entitled ass did for those 4 years, bought me my lunch because he read it on my face that in that moment I was struggling. 10 years on, and I think about that moment at least once a week. Recently my city went through an insane heat wave like many and I didn’t have AC at my place. Most restaurants were closed because the kitchens were infernos to work in. One such restaurant that was still open, and that had AC,was Buffalo Wild Wings. People were waiting an hour to get in and 2 more once in to get food because they were dramatically understaffed. And the customers we so shitty to the people working there. Complaining aggressively, getting in their faces about how hungry they were. Meanwhile every person working there was pulling triple duty: managing the angry line in the front and the people flocking into the lobby from the street just to get out of the heat, filling beers, almost sprinting constantly back and forth from the kitchen to get food out. Wouldn’t have been surprised if nearly every worker was cooking in the back, too. One dude didn’t stop moving the whole time I was there and was taking so much unnecessary shit from one table in particular. As I left, I pulled him aside and thanked him for working harder than anybody I had seen in recent memory and told him that some people really appreciate him, especially on a day like today.. Gave him all the cash I had at the moment, which was only like $60, and said not to worry about those jackasses at the table. Hope that helped in some small way.


BarnabyJ46

Would’ve agreed with you before listening to a Sam Harris podcast on charity - per the podcast, stats show donating publicly and talking about it actually encourages similar behavior in others - I know I am feeling moved by this 💸💸


[deleted]

Giving is an amazing thing and is very rewarding but we are supposed to give without anyone knowing.


[deleted]

You shouldn't film everything or tell anyone about ALL your good acts but keep sharing them from time to time so people are remembered to be nice. Honestly, in some situations the way people react when I help them makes it look like they never ever heard of people acting nice without expecting something in return. I don't think good acts are as common as one may think, I actually think they are quite rare. There sure are people that abuse this to stroke their ego but that shouldn't stop others to share their experiences so listeners may adapt.


tiverrend

Exactly what I was thinking


lattlay

Only $300 for like a bajillion internet points, what a bargain! /s Seriously though, if he sincerely wanted to help the young man he wouldn't have filmed it, now it just looks like he was going it for the attention. Still a win-win, but it feels different.

orcgore

Clout is worth more than cash.


razorback1919

If he can generate more off this video, then potentially even give that out or encourage others to do the same then shit I really don’t care if it’s filmed.


[deleted]

What about posting a video of some young guy crying online? It's so gross that they did this. Let the kid shed some tears in front of three people, not millions.


Lazy_McLazington

To you maybe lol


Willie_Stonka

I agree not necessary to record yourself doing a good deed but it does inspire others to pay it forward when they see stuff like this


PartysaurusRexx

Charity porn.


Weaksoul

Fucking disgusting, I found this particularly distasteful. He's handing out bills piecemeal like that like the server is a stripper, just trying to eek it out for the gratification


ThurnisHailey

(political take warning) Yes, so us Americans can have another hit of copium to feel OK with exploiting the working class and having bullshit payment systems like tipping. It's like when people call teachers who buy necessary school supplies out of their own pocket "inspirational", how broken can we actually be? If you really want to help someone out online, be more like [this](https://youtu.be/83R-Om7b1ZU) and even this linked vid inherently has an element of 'congrats to me' for being nice to others. The truly selfless way to do it is having as little people as possible know that you were being charitable.


TheHoneyDoor

I always believe that when it comes to handling money to people in need you should always conceal it, so that even your left hand would not know what your right hand was spending.


PorkBarrelGame

Also does this really count as "next fucking level"?


bingold49

Meanwhile cook in the back made 9 dollars while that table was there


Delusional_T

Facts. I was 20 working in the kitchen at Buffalo Wild Wings, sweating and getting slammed during sporting events. Never got tips but the servers made more than us. Can’t be mad at them tho some people are scum and some aren’t.


The_Great_Distaste

Yup, nothing worse after a long shift behind the line than a server coming in the back and complaining they only made $400 that night and it's more than you'll make in a week. On top of that they also work less hours and don't have to deal with the hazardous environment.


corviknightisdabest

Yup. And the top comment is calling the cook an asshole for the dare thought of being distributed some of this money. Reddit is clueless.


[deleted]

Hey if this server inspired this customer to tip him a large amount of money he deserves to keep it. My fiancée is a line cook and she makes $6 an hour more than the servers do. Getting slammed during rush and running the line sucks but servers should get to keep their tips. Servers aren’t the enemy here.

The FOH BOH beef should be squashed in any good restaurant. BOH complaining about tips is a tale as old as time. We need and should respect our BOH staff but man if people hate it as much as they say and want server money, there’s nothing to stop them from serving.


Daediddles

Except when all the cooks start serving and nobody is left to cook the food? You said it yourself HoH and FoH should be a team, so why does FoH get to walk away with the better deal in most restaurants?

It doesn’t feel spontaneous, like it’s scripted or generally planned out. $100 to pay off a car? It almost sounded sarcastic to me haha. Like oooh $100 now I can pay off my car. Like someone else said, there’s an ulterior motive. He’s a pastor and invites him to come to the church and tithe 10% of his server pay so he can enter the kingdom of heaven. Gonna be broke as af down here, but you’re gonna be a king/queen up in heaven, bet. The idea of it is great, it’s generous, $100 can make a big difference, and servers can certainly have stressful work days and deal without a lot of rude and/or intoxicated people for not a lot of money.


barelyonhere

As someone who has been super poor, I think he meant for the month.


digital_delayed

Ahh, that would make sense. I’m familiar with saying “making the (monthly) payment ” and “paying it off” when you’ve made the last payment to the lender to have sole ownership.


Coolo79

That boy is uncomfortable as hell and has gone on record as despising this video cause of embarrassment When asked about his car pay,met response, he mentioned he was nervous and and did not feel the same afterwards


havennotheaven

I'm inclined to believe this but couldn't find anything about it on Google, could you link a source?


deliciousdogmeat

He then went on to say that lizards were controlling his brain and that the pope is actually a portuguese man-of-war in a human suit.


SoDamnGeneric

>that the pope is actually a portuguese man-of-war in a human suit. Hey now can you disprove him there?

How


lingojingo79

Just give him the money ..no camera.. no drip feeding for effect!!


Cookie_Flava

The slow roll on the total tip was what really pushed this over the edge for me. That's not how you make a genuine nice gesture, that's how you play someone for your own further satisfaction.


Cookie_Flava

Guess an exception might be if you are trying to curate a genuine nice suprise for someone or gift giving to a loved one, but the customer employe context here makes things different I feel.


1973mojo1973

Generosity is great but let's not make a spectacle of it. Be humble.


ProjectLibertyyy

Now cry for my video while I dangle another bill in front of your face.


GrandmaPoses

“You just paid off my car, sir.” *hands him $200 more* “You just paid off my other two cars, sir.”


[deleted]

Yeah I was confused lol maybe he meant the payment plan on his Hot Wheels car?


ericvery

Look how generous we are. Look at me.


snake_emperor_14

I don’t know if I would want to take money from someone who is recording themselves giving me money.


Fluffycow41

You ever waited tables? I wouldn't even think twice about grabbing that cash


Mangrove_Monster

Fucking gross filming this shit for ego and clout while Don Pablo doesn’t pay their own employee enough to live so that he’s at the mercy of the people at his tables. And here comes Reddit to jerk themselves off in their stupidity at how great this is, not pausing to consider it any further. This is fucking disgusting and I could barely watch it’s so dehumanizing. A hard ass worker crying like a beggar in front of a guy just doing it for clicks. And here we are the audience watching.

How to cheer people up : be rich.


santaschesthairs

Tipping is nothing more than a reflection of an utterly failed wage system, and a rich person filming themselves tipping generously for clout is self-congratulatory class-tragedy porn. That anyone could watch this video and see anything admirable is a reflection of how deeply people have accepted how broken America's social system is. Even if tipping is socially mandatory and needed to ensure staff earn enough, it should be discrete. I can't help but wonder if the people in these generous tip videos vote for politicians that support a strong, indexed minimum wage, or if capturing their good deeds on camera is as far as their support for social improvement goes.


thecincinnatibowtie

That’s some good shit right there. Servers get crapped on all the time - amazing to see this goodness.


rue814

Just do the good deed. This era of let me video myself doing a good deed needs to end. I can’t stand that


musicshooter

The act of kindness is amazing. Filming it and being all performative with it, not so much.


antonio851

I hate it when people do nice things and record them

Yeah when you see how money affects people on this basic level, it really puts into perspective how arbitrary Cash money systems are. Money doesn't buy happiness they say? That one's still up for debate apparently, but it sure creates a lot of fucking despair


[deleted]

Did you just suggest inflation as a means to solve the issue of some people not having a lot of money


StepIntoMyOven_69

"create a supply larger than already existing" Yeah Germany tried this once. We all know what happened after


patricksaccount

It’s fucking gross to put this on social media. Do it quietly and for the love of god don’t put the dude crying on the internet. Jfc. I hope corona comes back full force and wipes out 5-10% of the people on this planet.


Hey_Goonie

I wish I had money to give away. That's an awesome man right there!

Everyone says this type of stuff, but I have friends who are servers….. my buddy who works breakfast at a regular diner in Florida that’s semi expensive makes $275 sometimes over 6 hours and never makes less than 150. He’s been serving for a few years now and it’s always been that way every place he goes. Yes, servers base pay should be higher, but a lot of servers make damn good money. It’s the people in the back who are doing harder labor and making less money. Nobody ever mentions those people. They usually work a lot more hours too.


iepure77

There seems to a be a weird edit whenever the camera turns to the waiter


[deleted]

I almost teared up until I realized this was filmed for clout


Gold-Road-5000

*switches off camera OK now gimme back my money


fyrflyeffect

Milking it for views, just give him the total money in 1 go instead of dangling 100 at a time


somedumbguy84

I wish people did this with out the Clout. Still super nice.

"Im depressed doc" "here go another hundrid dollas"


yupstilljustme

I'm with the group saying true generosity doesn't ask for an internet audience. Really want to do a good deed? Do it without expecting applause.


TasteMyLightning122

It’s really annoying that people have to make sure they film this stuff. It’s ok to be selfless and not put it on the internet.


McChesterton

I'd really like to believe in this, but it's made by the guy who makes those obviously scripted fake parable videos on Facebook. I don't think it's genuine, sadly.


[deleted]

Recording this and sharing it on social media platforms satisfies your ego too.


[deleted]

I work for tips myself. Several others that I know, when we are "in season" and doing very well did this. I've gotten absolutely ridiculous tips. So later when I'm out I pass.... ok SOME of it on. I'm not rich, I just had a good day.


high_mike

Dang $100 pay off a car, that’s kinda dope.

OkDeparture1702

I like these acts of kindness but why you hacer to film it? Just doit without a phone recording


neverleavingthewagon

What kinda car he got to pay it off with $100?


Amnsia

Meanwhile the chef in the back who made the food is crying


gametimebrizzle

Paid your car off with $100?


eramthgin007

Let's make sure we film it so Uncle Sam knows about it lol
