just an FYI if you didn't drive my food to me or you didn't serve me dinner as a waiter or waitress you're not getting a fucking tip
Y'all are entitled as fuck. People don't get paid fairly for their day to day service jobs in the US no matter what they're doing. If they were, the food would cost about the same as it would including a tip. You always tip, that's how it works. Otherwise you're an asshole. It doesn't matter if it's "the employers fault for not paying more." You're not fighting the system, you're just being a cheapskate and depriving an underpaid worker.
Demanding a tip and call me an asshole for not doing it is entitled as fuck
Working at a business that relies on tips to pay their workers is not begging. It's pretty clear that most of the people here have never worked in the service industry or been in a position where they needed to rely on that income to live. It's entitled AF and makes y'all seem petty and cheap. Quite frankly, in my edperience every single person who complains about tipping is someone who can easily afford it.
Lol and what would be wrong with food costing the same it would with a tip. That's exactly what the person you disagree with wants. Why wouldn't you want that?
I do want it. But that isn't how it works, so refusing to tip on those grounds is just stealing from the employees. It's like going to the store, buying something that costs $10, and then handing the cashier $5 and walking away.
I'm confused by the grocery store example in multiple ways. But I'll keep it simple and only ask instead if paying $10 for the $10 item at the grocery store would be theft too? What about $15 for the $10 item? Because I just want to know how much this steak costs so I can decide if I actually want it or not. I'm not sure what is 'fair' and certainly don't have some advanced economics degree ... but I only got $11 on me. Can I get it or not?
It's really really not...
Stealing. Interesting. What do you breathe?
If I go to the store, then I'm paying exactly as much as is required for the product I'm willing to buy.
If I go to a restaurant, then it is exactly the same. It is already that much pricier than ever before and I should pay even more, just to grovel before entitled pricks like you who are trying to guilt me into it by saying it's stealing? Any sympathy you wanted is out the window with your behavior.
In what world does a cashier get to keep 50% at the till? If a customer shorts them they get their manager and the house takes the hit. If they miss it and their till is off maybe they get in trouble? But what idiot is going to accept $5 for a $10 transaction and not escalate?
Garbage analogy
The only ones stealing are the employers that don't pay a fair wage.
you do realize that your wage is something that you agreed to with your employer right? you have a choice in the matter.
that's not really how it works either, depending on what state you're in people can be paid different wages for different types of work if tips are included or not included it's a bit more complex
this is a big reason I'm glad corporate chains are starting to remove tipping options in the first place on non-waitressing orders, Domino's is the most recent one to purge it, you can only tip on delivery now, where it used to give the option for carryout and dine in.
Don't get me wrong, I tip 20% for dine in but for some things it doesn't make sense to tip
