The whole U.S. tipping thing is BS. Just pay your employees a decent wage. And, in the case of services, if they do an outstanding job, you can tip them anything YOU decide to on top. That way you AND the employee know what they're in for at the minimum from the start. Simple, fair and honest.

I was literally ranting about the 18% low end tip the other day. I'm a good tipper, but when they did nothing but take your order, and then they're just sitting there judging you as you decide whether or not to tip them, it's not a good environment.

But of course that’s not the case, because for whatever reason, America’s hospitality wages seem Luke they’re from 500 years ago lol.

Pay your staff a fair living wage and make sure your guests know that tipping isn't expected. If it means an employee gives bad service, let them go.

As long as the lowest tier of full-time work can put a roof over the employee's head and food in his belly I have no problem, but if the business can't afford to push that cost onto its customers it deserves to fail. I see no harm in tipping for exceptional service, but I feel that it should just be icing on the cake so to speak, not something required for the waiter to pay his/her bills.

Please define for us a "Fair and Living Wage". As i see it, Whatever you agree to work for is "Fair" otherwise, you don't work there. Living is how you budget what you get paid. As far as a Minimum wage for servers, That would most likely be a big pay cut for them. Lets say you serve 5 tables of 4 in an hour, each one leaves you 20%. That could be $10 to $20 per table depending on the total bill for each. I doubt if the Minimum wage for servers is going to be over $10 an hour. That means they lost at minimum $40 that hour.

+Matthew Paul My definition of a fair living wage is in my previous response - "fair" depends on the employee's added value for the business and with "living" I mean a wage that (for full time work) would be enough for the essentials in the local area (roof over head, food, etc). If the service is like in your example worth $50 an hour (a bit over $100k a year, minus unpayed vacation, for full time), why not pay that straight up without expecting that the customer tips? I'm not against tipping for exceptional service, just when it's the norm. It may just be a cultural thing, but I (a Swede) like to have the costs up front when I eat out and find tipping to be a hassle.

My general rule on tipping is...if I pay before we eat no tip...and tips is based on service and attitude...right or wrong that's my 2 cents worth...

Being a truck driver for many years I ate at restaurants every single day. I always did like my Grandpa taught me and tipped a minimum of 15%. If the service was bad, that's all I'd give. But if the waitstaff went out of their way to make your experience pleasant, I'd go as high as 40%. Minimum wage for waitstaff is very low and most of their income comes from tips. Sometimes people just have a bad day and it's difficult to keep a smile on their face every moment. As long as they aren't downright rude or discriminatory towards you, give the minimum.

Where do you suppose the employer will get the money from? A magic money tree in his backyard? Of course it will come from you, one way or another. I suppose that a restaurant could come out and say "No tipping permitted" (and that is the case in some clubs) and pay its waiters more. There would never be any incentive for the waiters (apart from philanthropy) to offer better service than that required to keep one's job. I think a happy medium is about a 10% tip for really good service and 15% for excellent . Obviously, the waiters and waitresses should be paid accordingly, and the stated prices will reflect this. Americans don't drink as much wine as I would - this can easily be 50% of the cost of a meal where I live, and it's a powerful incentive to get in and get out when I'm there, which is a great shame.

I am a waitress myself since almost 30 years now and the main reason I do this work is because I love it, I love giving extra service just to give a good time to people and get smiles from them. And yes, this way I receive more tips than others but this is just the benefit of loving to do what I am doing, I am not being kind to anyone in order to get more money, I am being kind just because this is in my own nature. But to be honest, at least 80% of the waitresses out there are only doing it for the money and many are playing kindness to increase their gains. Yes, 15% when you receive a good service in a restaurant is the norm but if the waitress was not giving you a good service, why would anybody give her that kind of money? On the other hand, why would you tip that same 15% for take out meals as there is no service involved? I went in Greece where tips were included in the bill itself and this was a horrible experience. I mean some waitresses that were kind naturally were still giving a good service but out of the 80% of the rest of waiters and waitresses who were doing that work just for the money, there were none who were even trying to be nice with the customers because they had their tips guaranty in the bills anyway. Very bad service 80% of the time which always cost 15% of tips to all customers no matter if they were happy or not.

The IRS assumes that you are making cash tips equivalent to credit card tips. If you are a server, and at the end of the night you have $500 in credit card sales with an average of 18% in tips, then if you have $500 in cash sales, you are expected to report 18% cash tips. That goes for $0 credit card tips too. They assume you were tipped cash. I know, our restaurant was audited for an aggregate discrepancy between CC tips and cash tips reported over a years time. Two IRS representatives were sent to have a meeting with the tipped employees and educate them on the IRS' policy. They were very nice and professional and did not fine our restaurant but we were flagged for the next year. It was a kind of warning. Anyway, that's how they catch you. Most restaurants have a policy to report 100% of your tips after you tip-out bartenders, bussers, sometimes hosts. Most restaurant computer software can be programmed to not allow a server to clock out or run end of day reports without entering an acceptable % in tips based on sales. No restaurant wants to be audited. There's a ton of paperwork to comb through. The IRS doesn't really want to deal with that either because they would have to also audit each server as well. Just be sure to tip your servers or those professions where it is a tradition to do so. In the restaurant biz it's ; $0 for terrible service, 10% or less for bad service (just try to notice what caused the bad service, were they understaffed and overworked, were some customers hogging their time or being rude/pushy/inappropriate and causing your server mental anxiety? Whatever, just try to be a decent human being when evaluating what bad service means) 15-20% for good or very good service, more if you had excellent service or an experience that was remarkable. If you are a regular at a place tip well, you'll be treated well and oftentimes given freebies . Also, if you are a sucky tipper, you will be remembered and "auctioned off" to the worst server or newest server because nobody will want to deal with you. No one wants to work for a cheapskate and still have to claim a percentage they didn't make. Believe me, I'd love to see more places go non-tipping, and offer a better base pay. But until that day, we live in a country that tips. And no, I don't tip jars on every counter, sometimes I do but I do not feel obligated to tip just because there is a tip jar. You have to use your own common sense on that issue. Just an insider perspective. Worked in the bar and restaurant biz for 20 years. Nice to be out of it now.

Here in Florida servers earn less than $3 per hour. I find it heartless to begrudge a server a living wage when far easier jobs, like fire fighting or being a realtor, often pay far more. Up to 25% of a shift is sidework, rolling silverware to scrubbing the walk in coolers. Thanks to our fantastic weather we have a lot of server jobs here. It's not easy but even a woman can make a living doing this work. Not many make enough to bring her and a couple of kids beyond the poverty level but that is way more than retail stores pay. My point is that the 20% tip isn't optional. Less sends a statement of dissatisfaction. More is a complement. If you cannot afford the 20% you should have stayed home. The iPad terminals and the tip screens on the registers were generally not the servers decision. I know, you thought the servers probably have the final say in these matters of corporate capitalization. Strangely though, no. These things, and the supervision of the kitchen staff, and the prices on the menu, none of this is the server's job. I understand how difficult it is to have any respect for a person that cleans serves meals for a living. Even if they do so with a servant's heart, sharing bit of cheer and even some love and appreciation most of the time. Stay at home wives and mothers face the exact same image issues. Because they are simply an additional expense in the family budget their meager contributions should rightfully insult the men that provide their sustenance. Same with the server. The big difference is that if you decide to withhold a wife's rightful share of the family riches, to force her to live at a lower level of comfort and well being than the breadwinner, well, the bread Baker might just take most of what the bread winner has in a divorce. The server just doesn't get to buy her kid the new sneakers he needs or to sign him up for football or maybe she doesn't make enough that week to buy food and pay rent. Either, no skin off your nose. It's not like anybody important ever told us to love our neighbors just as much as we love ourselves. Go ahead and stiff her. As for me though I had some faith issues that compelled me to make it a practice in my life to always treat others fairly, even generously, in any business dealings I have. This means that I tip 20% and a wee bit more. The 20% is the responsibility. The wee bit more is the expression of the love I feel for my neighbor bringing my food and drinks to my table. I love to watch your videos but this one moved me to write. I hope my tongue in cheek attempts at humor won't insult you or detract from my message.

Not too far off the US minimum wage especially when you consider the cost of living in the UK.

Servers are a different matter. But people choose that as a career and decent servers can earn pretty good money in tips. But part of the trade-off for a job like that is the uncertainty of what you will make week to week. I delivered pizzas as a second job for many years off and on and made some great money at it.

In Australia tipping is rare because Minimum Waage is set as a living wage. Teens get paid at a slightly lower rate, short shift and casual hours is set at a higher level to match the pro-rata cos of annual leave etc.

Tips should be a thank you for a good service and NOT their wage

I totally disagree when a gratuity (tip) is automatically add to the bill. I always ask to have it removed, and, if I have had excellent / professional / service, I will always "tip" directly/ discreetly to the server....

StoneysWorkshop why don't you start over again. Write your comment like somebody was going to read it.

Tipping is very common in SE Asia in restaurants and cafes for table service, and seems a reasonable thing to do, but is not "expected" from the customer. Staff don't get high wages, but are often fed their meal by the business owner. Many car-park security guards at such venues get most of their earnings for the night from tips, and really appreciate what you offer them.

"Why did I hear yelling?" "" "Can I laugh at you now?" Every spousal interaction every when it comes to repair.

I tip people, not jars. Truthfully, if tip means, "to insure promptness" it should be made up front, not after the fact. I guess I'm old fashioned because my other "thing" is I have no appreciation for the checkout kiosks that are everywhere. I want to talk to someone who will take my money in exchange for the things I buy verses just giving them the money (vending machines being an exception.)

I'd imagine in most cases, at the pay stations like in the video, it's the management setting the default tip percentages; not the staff, who shouldn't be blamed. My standard tip at a coffee shop or something similar is $1.00 per item, in most cases. At a restaurant is 15+% depending on service quality.

I rarely tip,as I believe it's down to the employer to provide a decent enough wage for a server/waitress, whatever to want to take that job. Without it being the customers responsibility to over pay on everything they want to buy with money they had to work for and wasn't just given. If a service is beyond the standard expectations then I will,but not for just doing your job you are paid to do.

Sam Sam there is only a couple places I'd say the average American goes to that they have to tip something, that's a restaurant and when sitting at a bar drinking. If you take the family or just yourself to a restaurant and a waitress or waiter takes your order and brings your food,checks to see if you need a refill on your drinks or if you need anything else,maybe extra napkins. You really should tip that woman if she was pleasant and seemed happy to serve you. That is the basic rule of thumb in America. It would be rude to not tip in those circumstances ok?

“It is a good time of year.. for eating..” hahaha. Awesome.

My, you certainly opened a can of worms.

Pay servers more money and put the price of the tip into the food.

Anyone know the song name that plays around 15:45?

In short, I tip for extra service, not for someone doing their job. Example, if I'm standing in line for a coffee and a sandwich, I ignore the tip jar. If I'm sitting down and having my food served to me, I tip. I also tip for food delivered to my home.

Sabbath.... Adventist?

I'm from europe (i'm not gonna say french, because you'll go USA on me ;)) and here there is a distinction between a bakery's, where they do everything from scratch. Or a Bakers where they simply finish baking the bread. this way the "artisan" is protected from the mass production. (artisanal isn't directly connected to hipsters)

Lots of people are jealous of those who have successful KZread channels. I get this all the time. It use to bug me a lot, now I hardly notice. Haters gonna hate.

In Washington servers make min wage plus tips, but in Idaho and most states it is $3.35 plus tips. In some places like resorts, hotels they will add 19% to your card if you stiff the staff and they do it after you leave. This is totally legal as long as it says it on your receipt.

What watch are you wearing in this video?

I do not tip for the service I am paying for. I tip for extra service. The barista that has a great joke every morning gets a tip every time. Hand me my coffee with a bored look and take my money? No tip for you. The plumber that ran back and forth to his truck for tools/materials instead of walking probably saved me 1/2 hour worth of labour charges. Gave him a 10% tip on the labour bill cash. I also only tip cash because i am leery that the managers/owners may steal tips paid digitally as well as the fact that cash tips are not easy to tax. Had a boss steal the digital tips on me before. What is actually happening at the bakery is the server is clicking the yes/no tip button for you. As soon as you insert the card the machine asks yes/no for a tip. If you select yes, then it prompts with the 18% screen. They are selecting yes for you and handing it to you after. Don't believe me? Ask to insert your own card and try it out. Btw, always inserting your own card and never letting anyone touch it is one way to help prevent fraud from duplicated cards. Also prevents them from reading the 3-4 digit security number on the back. With a quick picture of the front from the security camera and the code from the back you could make online purchases with it.

If I can't afford to tip then I can't afford to go out.

I can say fair enough for a sit-down restaurant. But if I'm getting a coffee to go or just buy bread from a bakery, I don't feel the need to tip. The way I see it they didn't provide enough service to warrant it. They didn't have to remember my complicated order, they didn't serve me at a table, they don't have to clean up after me, etc. Luckily I live in a country where tips are NEVER mandatory. There is a 10% service charge automatically added to your bill in most restaurants. I find that the system works fine.

Great videos guys! I LOVE to tip heavy, but only when it is earned and deserved, I wish I got tipped for my hard work in road construction. Service varies and so should the amount of tip in accordance with that service. When someone tells you what to tip, it's like buying a birthday card for someone and having the person you bought it for tell you how much money to put in it.

You are indeed 'missing' something. You were lucky enough to be in a FABULOSO bakery! I don't know where that was, but if I find out, I will MOVE there. The nearest place that I can get some of the goodies pictured is 120 miles away and I would think nothing of driving there on a whim. I will spend $5 or 10 there and tip $20. I WANT them to succeed, I appreciate the hard work that they do to create such delectable things.

They actually can't charge you $7 for a slice of that chocolate-raspberry cake, (which is what it is worth) they won't sell any. Whatever doesn't sell goes in the garbage after 24 hrs. They hope that if they sell it cheaper, you will tip them the difference b/c it is so good. Nothing to do with 'service'. If you go in there and buy a cup of coffee and nothing else, you will pay a premium for refusing product, which is still going stale, btw. Folks have the wrong idea about tipping. It's not about 'kissing ass'. It's not about 'rating' their performance. These people are THERE for your convenience, maybe they don't top off your water glass on cue, or forget to bring you Ketchup. No matter. I'm a trucker, so I see a lot of this industry. These folks are wrung out and dog-tired of being short-changed or forced to jump through hoops to make a living. I say if you don't have an extra $20 to throw down at any time, stay home. You'll just insult your hostess with your penny-pinching, tight ass. That's not just to you, but to all the other tight-wads commenting.

Compulsory tipping is ridiculous and I hate it. If you want more money, ask for a raise or get another job. If I decide that I want to leave something extra, that's on me. Don't make me to feel like I HAVE to and that you deserve it. Heck, why not also tip the host, the bus boy and the cook? No job I've ever had forced customers to tip me.

I have been in the service industry for over 20 years as a general manager. standerd for tipping is 20%!! Why you ask. Well they are paid $5.01 per hour. (Can you live on that?) That goes for any service pizza delivery or any food delivery. Waiters , Bell-person, etc. If you find that unreasonable then go to McDonald's. or cook for yourself. Of course if you get bad service that different and report them to the manager.

Minimum wage is not meant to be a livable wage. It's meant for young people in school and people who need experience. If you're 30 years old and are making little over minimum wage it's nobody's fault but you're own for not driving yourself to pursue a better path. When getting a regular thing like coffee or fast food, there is no reason to tip unless service outstanding and employees go out of their way to make your experience a great one. That being said, when you sit down at a restaurant and there are employees working to make sure your food tastes great, serve you if you need something, and chefs working in a blistering hot kitchen for hours on end, which by the way is just regular service, not great service, I personally NEVER tip less than 20%. Those tips go to everyone working and you shouldn't ever tip less than 20% either.

I have to agree with Mrs. W., the tip should reflect the service. A tip is not mandatory. I would just as soon pay a little extra for a meal and let the servers earn a good wage. What is worse is when the servers have to "share" their tips. You get the same amount if you give good or bad service!

Great Vlog guys and thanks for taking us for the ride. Really don't get tipping in the USA. It seems really alien to someone in the UK. We only tip on sit down meals and delivery drivers (in the context of food), even then, only if the service is good.
