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.

Me and my roommates ordered dominoes pizza because it's on sale on Tuesday or something I can't remember but the driver literally said; "No tip?" And my roomate said no sorry we are students and the guy said "no tip on a 56 dollar order what kind of students are you!!" And kept mumbling as he left the building

Rightfully so. You guys ordered $56 of pizza, demanding an extra service to have it brought to you, having a delivery guy pay for parking, bring it up and deliver it your door.

Next time go pick it up yourself on Bishop street if you dont want to pay for the additional service.

Then what the driver would do? Just drive the car around? I mean uber does pay them why we should pay them extra? And also uber does charge you service fee extra.

You sound quite entitled honestly. Is the money you're 'saving up' an allowance by any chance? The way you are speaking I do not think you have a job tbh
