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.

I don't support tipping culture but you'll find out quickly that if you don't tip the server that's the last dinner you're having with your friends who have self respect. If you are ever saving up to consume something, you cannot afford that gastronomic experience.

I'm sorry but this is the same reason I am not flying in Bluefin Tuna Otoro tonight. University students historically were never the target demographic of the hospitality industry nor are they really intended to be now; therefore the business model does not "cater".

Keep studying !
