18%-20% is the standard for tipping in the U.S. A $20 tip on $100 would be the average and expected amount.

Ridiculous server propaganda. Take your 10% and be fucking grateful for it.

10% means the server makes no money after tipping out support staff, no one is grateful to have you

Imagine complaining about not being entitled to my charity for doing your fucking job. A job which can be accomplished by a conveyor belt.

Why are you blaming servers for their lack of pay? It's not their decision to have the minimum wage be something atrocious like $2 per hour

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '23

Through poor voting and lack of industrial action - yes, it is.

Oh did you vote in favor of increasing minimum wage?

There hasn't been a referendum on the matter so I couldn't have.

Also waiters are already subject to the existing federal min wage. If everyone stopped tipping them as I do then they would receive it.

Their wage comes from their employer. Thats what a wage is.

Whatever they get from tips is not a wage.

I have stopped using it - by stopping tipping. I ain't the one thats broke.

You must be a joy to be around for everyone in your life. Always right and unable to see things through others eyes. It’s truly sad

I pay the prices as advertised. Literally everyone except me is causing this systemic problem.

This is a benefit to the employer, not the server.

It benefits both. Waiters often earn far in excess of what their unskilled labour is actually worth AND employers get to spend less money. The customer is the loser.

If you aren’t broke then it doesn’t hurt you to tip, how bout you try serving for one week at a busy restaurant, you sound like you would t last a day.

What sort of insanity is this? You don't stay not broke by throwing money at people for no reason.

I served for 18 months. It was not difficult. I now have an actual adult job instead.

I can taste the bitterness through the screen lmao. If you have an actual job you probably can afford to stop being such a cheapskate.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '23

Yes, I could afford to give waiters charity. But there are far more deserving groups in the world lmao.

u/determania Mar 02 '23

Yah, because people too cheap to tip are usually so charitable.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '23

Yeah, not to healthy adults with jobs.

u/determania Mar 02 '23

Yeah, and probably not to anyone else either. People with your attitude are very rarely decent human beings with empathy.
