Guess I'm the worst because I've never understood why a person should tip or be compelled to tip for an agreed service. If an person wants to than go for it but I don't understand and never will. Tip the dentist? The doctor? Your unity company? How bout your mechanic or the cashier ringing up the groceries? Where does it end.
Do you get tipped for work you do for every client? Why is it in the guided hunting industry are tips looked upon as an mandatory transaction?
Enough of my spew.
I agree.
Starting with the definition of a tip as something extra big in for exceptional service.
Daughter was a waitress in high school.
I was floored by how much money she was making for a few hours work.
Tipping has become a cross between virtue signalling and a braggy, dick measuring contest.
I waited tables through schoolso my thinking may be a little different. I look at a tip as just commission pay, person provides service and customer gets to decide what it’s worth and pay directly. Bad service bad pay,good service good pay. Most jobs that get tips have that factored into what the employee it is paying which is greatly reduced than If it wasn’t customary to pay tips.
Remember when 10% was a good tip?
Hasn't been too long ago. 15, then 20.
Now, some receipts tell you how much the tip is for percents up to
or beyond 25%. I have had folks tell me they tip 15-20 always.
Even bad service. "Maybe they had a bad day!"
WTF?
"They work for tips"
Damn right they should work for tips.
Reluctantly taking my order, not checking, needing to ask for refills
ain't earning tips.
Never leaving me wanting anything, or,
running their butt off trying like heck to keep up is.
And should be rewarded.
Why would a lazy waiter put out any effort if they are getting 15%
doing nothing?
Tipping has become a mockery, especially since Covid.
See the video of the Vegas smoke shop owner stabbing the robber?
They started by taking his tip jar.
A tip jar, in a smoke shop!
For the owner?
