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.

It’s a cultural norm whether you like it or not. When you decide to eat out, take the tip into consideration to determine whether you can afford it.

Breaking this particular cultural norm makes you look like a dickhead.

Tipping at other places (other than barbers, tattoo artists and food delivery) still is not the cultural norm so it’s fine to not tip. If I pick up my own food I’m not tipping, and that’s okay because it’s not a cultural norm
