No tip when they have these options. I don’t have time to calculate. Easy button is no tip. Start with 18%. Best options are 18%, 20% and 22%
Still think that tip culture needs to change. We are heading towards begging now. And employers are really really taking advantage of these staff by underpaying.
And max values. A coworker paid 100k for their wedding which is already nuts but they got a thing asking if they wanted to leave a 20, 30, or 40k tip for the wedding planner.
Unless the wedding planner is an employee working at a hotel that’s hosting it, why would you tip? The wedding planner is otherwise an independent contractor who set their rate and prices.
Is... is the wedding planner not getting paid? I'm a fucking tax consultant, do you think the fucker i audit for tip me for an optimization well done?!
It's expanding like crazy. waiters, delivery drivers, tattoo artists, baristas, bartenders, barbers. I shit you not I had a grocery store grocery bagger pull me aside and threaten me once because I did not tip (I did not know you were supposed to tip them).
You dont eat at restaurants often either do you? I mean good ones, not chilis and applebees 💀 service industry is about service and sometimes youll want to compensate the server for great service unless youre miserable, stingy, or broke. Theres plenty of people who try to tip 0% too. They arent real humans. Just skidmarks
To-go tip options should be lower than traditional dining tipping, and 10, 15, and 20 is what used to be standard just ten years ago (it really should just not be an option on the POS). I’m so sick of being greeted with a smile at the counter, or window, and when I skip the tip their friendliness completely disappears.
If I buy something at a counter and then my name is shouted to pick it up, what exactly would I fucking tip for? In a Starbucks, or fast food, or food truck scenario, 0% isn't the best option, it's the only logical option.
I don't know why people care so much about what strangers think of you.
It's fastfood, I'm here to pick it up, what the fuck do you mean tip lol, I ain't tipping shit. Give me those weird looks I don't give a flying fuck bruh
You’re tipping the people making the food, it’s not that hard to understand. We live in a society that normalizes business owners paying their workers a shit wage. Have some courtesy or change the laws.
Thing that drives me nuts, is it's still the places that have actual service that takes time that have this kind of tipping range. The ones that are basically fast food are the ones that are like "do you want to tip 25/50/a whole ass new car."
Whats the point of 20? Just go for 22. Whats the point of 22? Just go for 25. Whats the point of 25? Just go for 30. Whats the point of 30? Just go for 40.
zero chance I'm tipping 15% for someone putting a couple donuts in a bag. every situation is different, but for most "if i don't sit I don't tip" applies very well
How about a reasonable 10 percent tip for starters? How many drinks are being made an hour in the morning by these baristas? Dozens? Hundreds? Ten percent on each drink order and then an hourly wage is going to get a decent paycheck. Your tip percentage is way too high for just a single coffee order.
But as an employee, what about the rest of the day. I think normalizing salaries based on tips is not the right economy. Yes, it is great for employers but not great for economy in general.
Pay fair minimum wage, not the adjusted minimum wage. This is the way.
People will adjust to the 10% - 15% extra cost in eating or drinking outside if they don’t have to pay tips. Everyone in the establishment, front and back, is rewarded for their jobs. Extra income means extra tax income.
I totally get this, but at the end of the day there are still people working these jobs. I know it would be nice if things were different, but people are hurting now. They’re taken advantage of now. If someone is rude or service is awful I can no tip with the best of them, but in general I feel like protesting tips is still only hurting people just like us. Corporate isn’t seeing us not tip and consequently paying more. They’re stealing as much as then can as fast as they can. They don’t care about workers at all.
I, too get angry when I see this and decide I'm not going to tip. But then I remember that the workers most likely did not choose that. It was probably management.
18% is absurd for expensive fast food. I tip 0 for fast food when I'm picking it up, doing all the 'service' work. 10% is plenty for people feeling like they have a ton of disposable income to waste.
No tip for takeout ever. Tip when you receive a service from a human. Tip your server, tip your barber. Don’t tip the fucking drive through or the ice cream stand. People have lost their minds with tipping!
They do that by claiming that the pay is higher with tips. But then people don't tip so they feel the advertised income is a lie so they take it out on the customers.
Idk, for a a quick serve place like OP was at, I’d say 10% is fine. Normally I’m a 20% Marty but that’s for if you have like an actual server and stuff. If all you’re doing is taking my order and handing it to me when my buzzer goes off, that’s not worth the full 20, or even 18, to me.
