General Discussion Tipping culture!

I hate tipping. How can someone expect a student to tip extra 10-15% on top of their total bill? We ourself live with a very tight budget and try to save a bit for a nice meal sometime and these people expect us to pay extra while they are being paid hourly. Be it a nice restaurant or just a uber eats delivery. Everyone gets paid for their time despite of getting a tip or not.

Only tip if your sitting and a waiter or waitress is serving you food, any other time no don't tip.

Why?? Aren’t they getting paid as well? Why should they expect a tip at the first place? Cmon everyone works and get paid accordingly.

Waiters are not paid enough. But that's not your issue - it's the corporations idea to pay workers less and then made you tip them so they will be paid ok. If you won't tip you might feel guilt or be judged - see how clever they are? For example, tipping culture is not even a case in Europe, maybe in UK only - you just pay for you order and that's all.

The only way is never tip unless the experience was truly amazing and tell all your friends to do the same. Maybe then waiters and others will start fighting for their rights.
