I think the American tipping concept is a way for bosses to underpay their employees. In Europe it’s common to pay when the server is doing a good job, not as a formality. Pay your employees and ask for a smaller tip. It shouldn’t be a system based on tips or no tips at all. You can still make extra money during festivals/holidays. Don’t put the responsibility at the consumers, just pay if you want to run a business.

There are several things in the US that fall into the category of what I call "collective illusions". If you ask, most Americans will say mandatory gratuity makes no sense but it is allowed to continue because we want to pretend our meals are somehow cheaper even though it isn't when you account for the mandatory gratuity. It would be much more rational to just pay a price that reflects the true cost to produce the meal and that must include some basic standard of living for the employees

I absolutely hate it when I have to tip before I receive my food, i.e. takeout/coffeeshops not sit down restaurants. My tip should be a reflection of their service, rather than their service reflecting my tip. It’s also infuriating because in those tip first establishments you are generally not waited on. The only service they provide is the preparation and calling out my name. That should be covered by the high price I’m already paying for the food/drink. I don’t want to be bullied into tipping.

I remember leaving a $5-$10 tip on a nice sit down restaurant was considered a generous tip and I didn't mind paying that at all but now with the inflated prices of everything and the establishments forcing percentage tipping of more than 15% its way too much.

The drinks package cost always includes an extra 18% for gratuities. Yet even with that, some people tip more, which is fine, but I feel we’ve already paid the tips up front. There seems to be an expectation of tipping on top of the substantial amount of tips we’ve already paid. Unless someone has gone out of their way to help us, I see no reason to tip more.

Tipping in USA is getting out of hand! It's one thing for me to tip at a sit down restaurant where a waiter is bringing me everything to my table, but when I buy a coffee at the counter and I stay there to wait for it, it's ridiculous for them to expect me to tip $1/ $2/ $3 for a $4- $5 coffee that I'm grabbing to go!

One of the worst places I got pushed for a tip was a bathroom. There was a flea market I went to, there was a person in it cleaning the bathroom, and I noticed there was a sign suggesting a tip so she can be paid to keep the restroom clean. Sometimes if I was feeling generous I would but most times I would get my own soap, turn on my own water and get my own paper towel to dry my hands, so I don’t feel it’s necessary for me to clean up after myself then tip someone else to keep the bathroom clean. I feel bad for that person working there, but then don’t take the job if your salary is tip only. The time I did tip was when the woman handed me soap and turned on my water and had a paper towel ready, and was very pleasant to me, so I tipped. The other worse place is a drive thru, a worker actually tried to keep my change stating it would towards their tip…I didn’t authorize that so I asked for my change, it’s a drive thru!! Tipping is getting ridiculous. Don’t mean to sound like a grinch but it’s crazy how much I do most of the work myself and yet it’s expected for me to pay someone else…too crazy. 🙄

I was at concert and the merch booth was asking for tips. I’m like yo, all you did was get a t shirt from that pile and walked 5 steps to me. I’m not tipping for that.

I’ve been really appreciating your messages these days. Thank you so much!! It’s so helpful navigating all this.

I never tip unless I'm actually dining at a sit down restaurant with a server. Anywhere else is just ridiculous and these companies are becoming abusive

It’s gotten OUT OF CONTROL! What I don’t understand is… every shop seems to have a sign that’s says “Sorry, we have had for raise our prices.” But yet, we are still expected to give tips, even MORE THAN ever before! Well, if your prices have gone up, I have less money to spend. This goes both ways!

I always click no tip on those grocery store or in person service that no service was actually provided. It’s so weird and I feel guilty, but you don’t need to tip when you buy a sprite in person 😂

Never feel bad not tipping for Fast food!! The payment app just defaults tipping to go through. Just press "No tip" to pay, then put some changes in the tipping jar if you want.

I stopped using doordash and eating out completely because of this. Even going through a drive thru had become a hassle because now they're starting to request tips. Asking for a tip when I'm simply picking up the food I paid for seems like an outrageous concept. Customers are basically paying employees because greedy restaurants want to increase profits. Tipping should be voluntary and I don't appreciate having a screen shoved in my face asking for a tip. Going to continue making home cooked meals and keeping eating out to a minimum.

TIPS = To Insure Prompt Service. If you do not provide a service beyond taking my order you shouldn't expect a tip. I went to a coffee shop where I had to walk back up to the counter to pick up my drink and again to pick up my food and then was expected to bus my own table. And I was asked to tip when placing my order. I did everything but make the food.

I’m glad the origin and history of tipping was included as it was not started as a class status or appreciation of the service of the waitstaff. With that being said, tipping after you’ve taken my to go order for food or coffee makes absolutely no sense - but for a full service such as sit down meals and salon service, absolutely. I tip well for those services.

You must not understand how restaurants work. Usually small business owners make less than Servers due to tipping. Servers in my area are making $1500-$2000 a week while the cook makes $600-$800. You take away tipping and now servers make less money. You pay them the same as cooks and let them receive “some tips” and now the cooks are upset because servers are making the same as them AND getting tips not to mention you end up earning less than or around the same as your employees and assume all the liability. What’s the incentive to open up a business at that point… don’t want to deal with that? Then You raise your prices and risk a decrease in business, then you file for bankruptcy and you’re out of business.

The key takeaway is this: Companies are using social pressure. They're intentionally putting you in situations where they know you'll feel uncomfortable going against the grain. They're hoping you'll succumb to the pressure, feel bad, etc. They're hoping you'll say to yourself, "Oh well, it's only a dollar" without doing the mental math to realize the actual percentage. They use specific wording to make you feel like you're a terrible human being if you decline. All of this is intentional. We always think the bosses are greedy but the workers are our friends. But no, that's no longer the case. The frontline worker has now been trained to extract as much money from you as possible. So what should you do? Stand your ground and decline leaving a tip (in instances where a tip truly isn't justified or deserved). The first time is hard but it gets easier. Don't try to resist the feelings of discomfort or social pressure. Let those feelings flow through your body as you're pressing "No Tip" or entering 0 for "Custom Amount". Those feelings will quickly subside.

THERE’S NO CONFUSION: No Tipping for take out or counter service. For table service, 10% for below average service, 15% for decent service, 17% for excellent service and 20% for above and beyond service.

My rule of thumb for tipping is: - If the IRS charges 15% tax, my tip level starts at 15% as it is considered part of the salary. More if the server went above and beyond, and less if the service was substandard... all the way down to zero. That usually means restaurant waiters. - If there is no tax, then no tip unless they were extraordinary. What is needed is a clear rule on who has to pay an "assumed tip" tax. It is also necessary to exclude tips from calculations of minimum wage

This shouldn't even be a "debate"

I love to show my appreciation for good service by tipping my server well. I absolutely despise the obligation I feel to tip someone doing the bare minimum of ringing me up at a cash register, especially when I don’t know how that tip is being distributed.

This is why I carry cash. I refuse to start using these systems that ask for a tip.

PSA: it’s obvious those tips aren’t 100% going to the employees unless it’s physical cash. It’s just another sly way for companies to nickel and dime employees for less pay and more $$ for the higher ups.

Modern tipping is now a way for employers to pass the expense of paying their employees on to the customers. No one wants to deal with a disgruntled barista or furious black delivery guy who was expecting a minimum of a $5 - $10 tip. Simply put the pandemic paid a lot of people more than they were actually earning from their jobs, and after getting a taste of that, people who used to settle for $15 an hour now want $25 and even $35 an hour. These people want to live large and make big bucks serving coffee and delivering food. Even at restaurants where you pick up the food at the counter, they are demanding a 20% or more tip, even if you didn't eat there, and that's B.S., now they want you to pay for both the food and then the service of handing the food to you. These business owners are terrible people because it means they don't have to pay their employees properly and can force the money out the customer who faces this tipping crisis no matter where they go. These days you can't avoid tipping on even takeout so you're screwed from every angle.

And this is exactly why I don’t eat out.

I have NO problem tipping when I'm at a sit down restaurant and received good service. BUT I especially HATE it when gratuity is already added to the total BUT they still have the nerve to ask for additional gratuity! They'll give you a receipt with the space to leave more tip, without telling you they already charged you for that! Most times they're sneaky about it too, so you have to check the details of your check.

This happened to me in Starbucks. I don’t like tipping before a service is even done. When I tipped I ended up with bad service and was not satisfied with the coffee that was made but when I didn’t tip and the service turned out more than I expected I felt bad because I should have left a tip for getting more than what I expected. Tipping should be done after the service is done and not before it!

I went to a gift store to buy a gift and was asked to tip. I am tired of tipping and despise it. When I worked a low paying job, no one ever tipped me and I didn’t care. I am a generous tipper when I feel like it other wise employers need to start paying their employee and if they like, they increase the cost of their food. I do not care.

The beauty industry is one of the more frustrating ones for tipping. Like, a customer pays $40 for a haircut, and when the person expects a tip for doing a good job they are essentially saying that $40 is the price for a crappy experience. If you are happy with everything, then you pay more... Huh?? I don't tip the guys who paint my house or my mechanic for fixing my car.

They are hiring at sweatshop levels of pay. And relying on good hearted people to support their negligence. American culture is truly a one of a kind gem.

I have zero issues tapping ‘No tip’ even with the employee standing right there. I refuse to be pressured into spending even more money to subsidize these workers’ wages just so the business owner doesn’t have to pay them a livable wage. If you did nothing more than pour or grab something, I am not going to tip you for it. Period. I could have-and would have-done it myself if I was allowed to. Actually, there’s a thought-make more things self-service. It’s a win-win. Business owners don’t have to be ‘bothered’ to pay or even have employees. People get to just get what they want and go. Sure, it eliminates jobs, but these jobs don’t need to exist. There are far too many meaningless & unnecessary jobs in this country. That’s what you get when every president is expected to add jobs at all costs. 🙄 Also, TIP IN CASH, people! Do NOT ever tip with card! The worker(s) will never see that money! The employer will pocket it 100% of the time!

I'm poor and I just want the f*king thing I pay for I'm not tipping.

It's so frustrating when u tip well & u get poor service. Tips are for good service. They shouldn't be obligatory.

Tipping should be for the quality of a service. Preparing your food is not a quality of service.

Next a cashier ringing up my groceries will ask for tips. Wtf

Already happening. A grocery store near me has it on their big iPad-y payment terminal screen facing the customer. Fairly expensive store too; I rarely go back.

I tip at restaurants, food delivery and for services like transportation (taxis, Uber etc.) and hotels (maids and porters). All these others now really annoy me. I don’t tip for carry out unless it’s a small business.

The fact that "tipping" is now considered to be obligatory instead of discretionary is NONSENSE. It is a way to thank someone for their GREAT service.... now it's more like you better tip us if you know what's good for you. SMH

Yes, tipping is getting out of hand. I started buying hot food at Wholefoods instead of take out from restaurants. If I go to the occasional Starbucks, I use the app instead of ordering at the counter for no awkward tipping pressure at the register line. Also, I might go to the very occasional fast food places that don’t require tipping: McD’s, Bking, etc.. Some restaurants are starting to get sneaky too, which is a shame. I know of elderly people (friends of relatives) who had 18% tacked on the bill automatically and the waiter said nothing. Elderly customer then added a tip to that bill total, essentially paying 18% tip plus an additional 20% tip.

@@noneya1238 Whole Foods = $7-$10 depending on how much I put on my plate. Restaurant takeout = $16 - $20 w/ tip. Sometimes, Wholefoods has soups on sale, e.g. now it’s Mushroom Barley for $5.39 for the 24. Oz container. Add crackers, or a roll of bread for less than a dollar and it’s a meal. Bonus: no tipping. Btw, McDonald’s is now $7.48 for one double cheeseburger + large fries. It’s about the price of Wholefoods and way less healthier.

Imagine when the tipping wage was created. Someone thought that waitresses were getting too much money because they were getting minimum wage but people were helping them with tips so they had to invent a lower minimum wage to make sure waitresses weren't getting too much money. It's depraved.

Tipping stems from after the civil war as a loophole to get around slavery. They would not pay an hourly wage at all to newly freed Black women but having them work for tips was technically legal. I think this is a good point to think about when it was created because it’s really racist and deeply problematic.

REPEAT IT FOR THOSE IN THE BACK, "TIPPING IS NOT MANDATORY!!!" WAKE UP

3:56 translation for anyone who didn't understand: "I believe the current system is best because as long as customers can tip, i don't have to pay my workers a living wage and I save tons"

Tipping someone because they managed to drive a car safely is hilarious. I think that should be the minimum we can expect from an Uber ride. It’s not an extra service. If they help with bags or put in effort to get you closer to the location, know how to avoid traffic or are helpful and kind in conversations that’s a real reason to tip.

if all service jobs paid minimum wage there would be no one working them except somebody in high school that will mess up your order all the time. and then they would be short staffed at that

Yeah....they try to make you tip for anything these days!!! Rule of thumb is if your not dining in and not being serve then you don't deserve a tip!!! INSANE!

Customer point of view tipping should be FUN and good service.

The problem is, even when the server is crap, you're obliged or feel obliged to tip.. which isn't the purpose of tipping

@queentinadoire6931

Жыл бұрын

I never feel obligated to tip. I control my money. I will only tip after the service is done. If the service is bad, the server gets no tip. If the service is good, I will leave a tip and if the service is extremely great, I will leave a generous tip.

You are NOT getting me to tip on ANY take out order!

tipping just became an excuse for employers to not pay employees a full-wage, that's how I perceive it "uhh you advertised this job as $16/h" "Yes, $8/h plus tips. You're gonna be making so much moneyy!!!"

They keeping saying tipping a few extra bucks, but the expectation is not a couple of bucks, it's considerable more $10+ on most things. I think most would be ok with a few bucks but that's definitely not the expectation at all.

Hell no, why should I pay you to do your job? If anyone should be tipped, let us service members be the first. I am not paying for employer utilities, and their staff health insurance. The United States has horrible customer service, and not deserving of my hard earned money. I prefer to tip in the EU, even though it is not allowed, due to the exceptional service and genuine respect. I have learned to live within my budget, and if you are unable to make a living without tips, look for a job that offers a larger salary.
