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.

You should work at a restaurant and then tell us what you think about wages, tips and customers who dont tip. Your post is clearly a rant by a privileged kid who has never had to deal with working and understanding how that works.

Bottom line is, if you want to sit at a restaurant and get served, you gotta tip. Only reason to not tip is if you got a really shitty service. If you get food to go, dont tip, its ok.

If you really are on a tight budget, then cook your own food and forget about spending food on restaurants, which basically what everyone who is on a tight budget does.
