Perhaps you’ve noticed. We have reached a tipping point in the country over tipping.
To tip or not to tip has led to Shakespearean soliloquies by customers explaining why they refuse to tip for certain things.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, customers were grateful for those who seemingly risked their safety so we could get groceries, order dinner or anything that made our lives feel normal. A nice tip was the least we could do to show gratitude.
But now that we are out about and back to normal, the custom of tipping for just about everything has somehow remained; and customers are upset.
A new study from Pew Research shows most American adults say tipping is expected in more places than it was five years ago, and there’s no real consensus about how tipping should work.
I never tip these days. It’s a band-aid solution that needs to end.
When tipping, either the customer is getting fucked or the employee; never the owner. I choose to fuckover the employee because they’d rather fuck me and lots of them support tipping culture saying “they make more in tips.”
Well, good. You can “make more in tips” without me. I guess that way everyone literally wins.
That is pretty funny, the dissonance of “Please tip, I get nothing without your tips” alongside “Actually I make more in a tipped position”. We just need them to all unionize then let tips go away
While this is extreme, I understand why you would do this. I just call first and see if they require tip before I go. If they do, then I don’t go.
Yes, tipping culture is wrong, but the doesn’t you some moral leader. You’re just a sad little person who gets off on being a douchebag.
Yikes.
They aren’t exempted from minimum wage in California, one of the larger populations in the US. Are you sure you aren’t attributing incorrect assumptions to one of us?
Look in the mirror.
