Perfect, then I don’t waste my time, table, and food waiting on someone who won’t tip vs someone who will.

I agree if you don’t like it, don’t go there, stop punishing others based off your beliefs.

If I was your server, I would get you!! Never would be empty! Usually half full is when I ask if they want another.

Yeah, you have never worked the service industry in America so… comment invalid.

Don’t like tipping in the US than don’t go out, or stay in whatever county you are skimming servers out of tips you live in…

My restaurant actually pays us more than the bogus ass fed minimum wage and I don’t have to “kiss ass” of customers they genuinely like me, might be hard for you to comprehend but I get well over 20% on almost every table. I can make $3-4k a month with my wage and shifts like 25hrs a week, that’s what’s wrong in the US. When you make more as a server with half the hours than a full time teacher, something’s got to change…

Bottom line, my restaurant pays me $11.10/hr or $15/hr (asst manager) plus tips so basically tip your servers or do not go out and hit a drive thru instead. Stop punishing us because of what you believe in…

It common sense, tip off TOTAL bill NOT discounted prices, you got the same service and food so… tip accordingly of TRUE amount. It’s not “misleading” it’s a true fact, tip based of total.

Like I said before, you get $100 worth of drinks with a discount of half off so $50, you do NOT tip off $50. You got $100 worth of drinks and services so tip off that! Don’t like it, don’t go out. Don’t agree, then create a bill and call your govt reps, do not punish fellow humans because you “don’t agree”. We are all just trying to live. If anything, make your own food at home and there you go, NO TIP NEEDED… but no, you came out to get waited on therefore, provide tips accordingly, we are not just at the restaurant for pleasure…

Thank you!! They didn’t like my responses as a fellow server former teacher! I make more with half the hours as a server than a full time teacher, that’s savage and what’s truly wrong with America! Don’t like the tipping culture than don’t go out, it’s not that fucking hard. Don’t punish servers for your beliefs! I just don’t get people. Why downvote me when I am providing my first hand experiences?

That’s should be common sense. Tip on the FULL amount not on a discount you received, you didn’t get discounted food or service so tip accordingly. It’s not hard.

Thank you! After all the comments and being a server I was starting to feel like I was going crazy!

Like you said, tip your servers accordingly and if not then don’t go the f out! Go through a drive thru instead!

And if you hate the tipping culture then try to change it! Don’t punish the servers for your selfish actions and beliefs for a service rendered! You don’t HAVE to be waited on… you chose that! So don’t choose to not tip that’s an asshole move and if you’re a regular even worse!

No you cannot, you need to claim all, if not… that’s stealing!

I agree! $5 to you might not mean much but to a server it would mean everything. It makes up for bad tippers or worse the no tippers at all. The little things makes servers day honestly!

And yeah, but I am not truly “their boss” it’s more that I have to deal with unsatisfying customers, intake orders of food and beverage vendors, and ensuring all customers are satisfied plus doing my server role… so honestly, it’s me dealing with all the issues but still having tables. I love my place of work and will never leave since I make like $3-4k a month as a server and that’s like 1/2 of what I was making as a teacher full time but some customers are the worst and would rather get paid less than dealing with them honestly…

Should be changed to, “Nobody wants to work anymore because the wage isn’t livable anymore”.

I was hired on my first job at $14/hr as a retail associate back in like 2005! Same job today has the same wage… well $15/hr but still 20 years later… savage! Hmmmm, wondering why no one wants to work, that job can’t even pay the rent of most places in America with all the other costs of living. (Car, insurance, phone, utilities, etc.).

That’s the true problem, federal minimum wage hasn’t changed in decades despite the inflation and costs over the years! That’s the true problem!

Idk where you are living but in MN it’s $11.10/hr plus tips. I get paid more because I am an assistant manager as well so $15/hr plus my tips as a server. I make almost 3X more than when I was a teacher working full time and I have half as many hours…

Wow! Servers are providing a service of waiting on you when you could have made your own food at home without “tipping” your wife. That comparison is asinine and doesn’t belong in your comment. Vastly different!

And the previous commenter stated just because you got $100 worth of half off drinks so $50, you shouldn’t tip off the $50. Drinks were the same, service was the same, etc. just because you have a discount doesn’t mean you had “discounted” service therefore, should still tip off the TOTAL BEFORE DISCOUNTS!

I agree tipping culture needs to die but in America where I was a teacher for years and now make more money as a server with half the hours shows the broken systems of America. Something has to change and not tipping your server isn’t going to do anything but hurt a fellow human trying to just get by like themselves!

Want change? Go to the govt, create a bill, talk to reps for your state, but stop punishing servers for your selfish beliefs and actions! Don’t like it, don’t go out! Want change, then do it!

Thank you! I am just one server do not punish me because you hate the tipping culture of America! Don’t like it, like you said, don’t go to a damn restaurant then! Easy peasy!

Don’t punish another person for your thoughts, feelings, etc about the situation of tipping, it’s not their fault, it’s yours for not tipping them because “you don’t agree” then go to damn McDonald’s!

Have you ever heard of ICE?? They are committing out right kidnappings of citizens “under the orders” of a helmet haired toddler who shits his own pants… really? They clearly are upholding these illegal acts and do not care! They don’t even show their faces! SHAME!

Plus also, Nazis in WWII went along with Hitler when they shouldn’t have for an example. Or putting Asian Americans into camps after the bombings due to fear they were ALL somehow involved!?

Yeah, a lot of people don’t tip for take out, but who do you think makes and puts together your order for a nice restaurant take out? (I work for a Sushi and Steakhouse). Sadly, we have to and ensure orders are right and still don’t get tipped. It’s not a McDonald’s (we have many other options and temps of food, etc.). You came to a nice restaurant for take out and we ensure all is well, we had to put together your order and ensure all food is correct, it’s vastly different than a fast food drive thru. Yes, you had to pick it up but we still had to put the order together and ensure all the fine food is correct. If that makes sense, it’s different.

We don’t just heat up a cooked burger patty and put it on a bun and shove you through a drive thru, it’s 100% different. You came to a sushi steakhouse with different orders and temps of foods with modifications very different than the standard “take out”.

Basically, America just needs to pay the employees vs tips but that’s not changing. I was a teacher for years but with the recent political drama and parents shoving their kids to iPads with no respect I left and found out I am making almost 3X a month as a server than a teacher, that’s savage!

Welcome to America where tipping culture is a thing, don’t like it, get take out and fuck off!

Don’t know where you live but taxes are always a thing, welcome to America. All bills show EXACTLY what you are paying for, if you don’t want to tip or change the tipping culture than do it, otherwise TIP your servers or fuck off and get take out, it’s not that fucking hard!

SITTING DOWN, waiting on you, and then BRINGING YOU FOOD, ensuring it’s up to your standards after a couple bites, if you don’t want that SERVICE get fucking take out! It’s that fucking easy!
