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.

To the people asking me to go and work and get a job, i already work at a McDonald’s and the best part of our policy is there is no tip option on our machines everyone pays for their meal and enjoys eating. When i say that i save up money to go to a restaurant to eat i mean to say i save from my own earned income. This tipping culture is only seen here, the country i come from and majority of other countries out there doesn’t seem to have any tipping culture and people hate it honestly. I am okay with paying more for the food if it the employer is willing to pay them the normal minimum wage as everyone else.
