repped
all it comes down to... we're in america, our employers expect people to do what 90% of folks do(some better than others, but c'est la vie)
our government down to city and state levels have, in many cases built that expected behavior into their legislation, with wage regulation etc.

if you dont want to tip, make your own food and clean up after yourself.

OP was asking about how much they should tip. all this "i don't tip" stuff is way cheap, and ungrateful. I would certainly not admit it if i was a bad/non tipper... See how many second dates you go on acting that way in front of your date :smh:

Cheap and ungrateful would be if I ordered the food and said I wasn't paying for it at all.

Just cuz you think tipping is some unwritten given invisibly included in to the laws of economics of this country doesn't make it so. It just means you're another person that has no problem doing things because you think you're suppose to do them without actually thinking about why you're doing it.

I mean seriously which is the better situation, every single person tipping different amounts to these ppl you feel should be tipped or their employers raising their minimum wage to match their standard of living? Which is actually the better solution?

:smh: :rolleyes >D

they don't take the job with an assumed inherent gratuity build in. Neither do doctors or whoever the heck else you guys are bringing up. you could bring up the whole do you tip xxxxxx? and if our society has deemed that said person should or shouldnt be tipped then your answer is already there...stop wasting posts. :wow:
 
UPS/FEDEX do not get tipped. They make regular wages.

So I hear you want to tip a doctor cause you don't like to confirm to social norms.
That's cool
The beauty in this comment is that nobody stopping from doing this.

So now that you brought it up... How much did you tip your doctor on your last visit? Or how much you tipped the fire man after they put out that fire?
I have to believe you tipping these people...no way in hell you talking all this nonsense just for the sake of it.

Read my other posts in the past couple pages.

And you will see my first Few posts I was simply playing devils advocate.

Nonetheless, keep up your grind

all good, and yeah, i have worked for tips before. it can be great if you provide someone an awesome experience, and in turn they appreciate you in some quantifiable way. I had been given free meals at a patrons restaurant if they owned one, offered other jobs, due to my work ethic, and customer service abilities, and more... Doesnt always have to be cash, sometimes its just a good feeling to let someone know you appreciate them 8)

What does it matter if it's assumed or not. If I wanted to tip my local fireman why shouldn't I? If actually felt I should be tipping ppl who are underpaid.

You losing me here are you tipping ppl cuz they're underpaid or just because it's something you're expected to do without actually thinking about why it's expected and assumed?

Haven't had a check-up in a few years. Dentist gets that kickback though :smoking

Also it seems you missed the point of me even bringing up tipping ppl worthy of being tipped. Maybe you actually new to these topics Diego :lol:

I actually do tip, pretty well and within reason. Sorry I'm not standing on my roof yelling "HEYYYY LOOK AT ME YALL!!!' I CAN TIP GIRRRRRLFRRAAAAN!!!" like you've apparently been doing. I haven't taken the time to read all the comments since tipping threads tend to bring out the lames en masse (like you may be, not sure), but people are very well acting like if they're not eating "fine dining", then they're not eating.

Nothing wrong with not reading threads before commenting. I do it too. No one who tips is suggesting we eat better than anyone else. All we're saying is, if service is up to par, you should understand and follow the social norms associated with the service industry. Nothing more, nothing less.

That's what's up. Belive me... I'm not a cheapo...

If the experience is good enough, I tip the price of the meal... now that's only been 10 or less times, but not every server hits a home run.

But if who ever I'm out with (usually my wife) gets an awful server, I have absolutely no problem with leaving them with nothing.

im tipping them because I was born in America, and Americans have determined (before my time mind you) that tipping should be built into the American work model. Wages are regulated by Americans because of this expectation.

If I were in Europe, where, in some countries tipping is even considered rude and no employee would take a job with a wage that built in a tip structure then of course I wouldn't tip.

I have no clue who crossed you and made you that bitter or oblivious to the service industry...But surely if there were more people that thought like you, we would have no one to serve us our food, an provide us with a positive experience when we dont feel like doing all the leg work ourselves.

How about you tip people because it's just the nice thing to do. how about doing it because it makes others happy... sheesh

So basically "because shutup". I'm a tipper but chastising non tippers because they're smart enough to not throw money away because everyone else does is ridiculous.
 
Nah I see your point. Some people are worthy of being tipped and others are not.

Blaster combo send me your paypal...
I want to send you a tip for being a stand up citizen and serving this country. If any job is worthy of tips... This is definitely it.

nothing wrong with that logic at all...keeping that 100hunit. :smokin
and doesnt it feel pretty awesome to give that 100% tip...lulz :smokin tipped some chick at buffalo wild wings 2x my bill just because I sat around and watche da whole damn game on a busy night and didnt feel like ordering a bunch of drinks...mind you thats only 14 bucks on a 7 dollar tab, but that tables "real estate" was prolly worth $$$ and she was very accommodating and didnt make me feel like a cheapo for only ordering a single beer and some 60 cent wings...lol
 
I'm about to start my shift in 45 minutes. Just to illustrate how it really goes down, I'm going to track my tips for every table and tell all of you what I got on every check, large and small.

Last night I had 16 tables and only 1 table tipped less than 15%. They gave me 8 on 80 (and they got VERY good service). Best believe I remembered their faces. No, I won't mess with their food (servers don't really do that). But....they will be LAST on my list of priorities the next time they come in, and I will let the other servers know if they sit in their station. I have 3 - 4 other tables potentially at a time, and most likely, tipping 18%-22%. So that's where my priorities lie. The bad tippers still get "service", but just the BARE minimum that is required of me, and probably a little less.

Just understand that if you tip tip less than 15% (which is already mediocre), you are in the vast minority. And if you tip 10%, you are in the bottom 5-8 percent of diners. You are most likely the ONLY table that waiter had all night that tipped anywhere near that bad. I averaged 20.52% so far in April. I take home about 16% (tipping out hosts, bartenders, foodrunners, and buss boys a total of 4%)

So you consider tipping not simply a social norm but one based by region. Tip because it's the American thing to do. I wonder how many other things were the American thing to do.

I mean seriously which is the better situation, every single person tipping different amounts to these ppl you feel should be tipped or their employers raising their minimum wage to match their standard of living? Which is actually the better solution?

No one crossed and I am not bitter and if I was oblivious I'm not sure why you think someone would have had to cross me to be that way.

It's amazing to me how you still dodge the question and take this transparent condescending position as if you're not just in the right but you're somehow better for not questioning anything in regards to this.

There are other, better, and more thoughtful ways to do nice things and make other ppl happy. You should know that. According to you though, tipping isn't about any of that it's a national institution built in to country's history. One of the more awful stances I've seen in any tipping thread on this site :x :stoneface: :smh:

I don't tip him but during holidays I make sure they are taken care off. I give them premium alcohol ... I have gave them turkeys ... Cigars ... Stuff that I'm replacing around the house. I can't count times that I forgotten to pull the dumpster to the curves and dude come in and get them for me. Or when I have yard trash and the recycle bags break they'll clean it for me. Dudes don't know the first thing about being courteous and generous. Smh ...

Tipping garbage makes sense. Aint nothing wrong with it. My dad stopped when he had to start helping them with the garbage at times they refused to take claiming it was too heavy or some bs. Of course the faces change over time (especially between recycle garbage and just regular garbage) so he's fluctuated.

riiight, so what will we designate a day where our society decides they arent going to tip anymore? where employers will; effective THAT said day will start paying employees more, while trying to manage their bottom line and not built said price raise too much into their competitive pricing model of their product?

breh we can even effectively roll out Obamacare....:lol: how do you plan this would work out up and down the chain?

It made sense back in the day to an extent especially depending how long you've had that barber. You get to know them. Some you'd call a friend. My thing is inflation. They adjusted for the raise in prices. Given other bills and needs tips had to stop with them.

Haircuts went from $10 to $15.

Staff goes on strike simple as that like every other field of work that's done the same. Different today but hey the employers will either hire illegals who will do it for cheap or negotiate until everyone is satisfied. It'd also help if tipping is deterred. Sign of do not tip or if it's become so routine all tips simply get donated to a ******* charity. I don't know why you're acting like every restaurant in the country takes tips cuz they don't.

Bringing up Obamacare is telling though. I'm just not willing to participate in such ******* for the sake of it being the "American thing to do"

Dude, the restaurants that "dont take tips" that you speak of, CLEARLY let their employees know their stance, and assuredly PAY THEM MORE....

lulz @ staff goin on strike :smh: super effective.... Hiring illegals to work waitstaff and other service jobs? hmmm I hope you can speak near every language if you want that steak medium rare, or would prefer light mayonnaise on your sandwich, gosh forbid you have any other more complicate dietary prerequisite.

Plus hiring illegals, and more importantly paying anyone poorly with no built in incentive for growth, ESPECIALLY when they arent fit to work many jobs for various reason, is really perpetuating much of the problem that we have going on already...well thought out plan sir.:smh:

:lol: He dead *** gave me the sheep reply. It's been a while since I've been in a tipping thread and so many ppl came at me with the "don't follow social norms" reply. I haven't read the entire thread only the OP so maybe this is where the discussion ended up but that **** is dumb.

I was use to the simple: Why should I tip? - Cuz those ppl are underpaid and survive off tips. Where I'd just say they should lobby for higher wages or find a job that pays better. Then everybody would call each other scumbags and talk about doing nasty things to your food next time you showed up to the place you didn't tip. ITT: I'm getting you should tip because it's expected and assumed, cuz it's the American thing to do, cuz it's some unwritten economical given that was kept in mind when capitalism was established in this country revolving around this idea of social norms being some sort of guiding principle :lol:
