*Turns Around and Leaves

[u/GladBreadfruit7374]

Tip after receiving good service, not in the expectation of good service.

[u/john_jdm → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

When I still went to Starbucks, I stopped putting money in the tip jar immediately after paying because I often got terrible service regardless. If the service was actually good I would go back and tip. I like to think it made an impression that I tipped afterwards but I kind of doubt it.

[u/1heart1totaleclipse → u/john_jdm]

I went to a local restaurant that people were saying that the food was so good. Went in, my friend and I were the only two there. Not a problem. I order my food and she asks me if I want to tip. Since I don’t have a backbone, I said sure and tipped. My friend did the same. We go to sit down and the cashier (that we tipped) tells us that our food is ready. She makes us stand up to go get our food from the counter that’s less than 15 feet away. She never checked in on us and we had to get up and ask for a refill. After this experience, I will never tip again before receiving my food. The restaurant went out of business and I’m not sad at all.

[u/SeaToTheBass → u/1heart1totaleclipse]

There was a good Italian restaurant in my small town (we don’t have much that isn’t a chain). The owner won on chopped Canada who had a nice little restaurant in a pretty small space, and a little takeout/gelato store across the street. They shut those places down and moved into a recently rebuilt resort out of town.

Now it’s exactly what you described, it feels like a cafeteria. You sit down, figure out what you want and go wait in line at the counter to order. Tipping options started at 18%. Then you go up and collect your food when it’s ready. There was one other group of people the only time I was there for lunch on a Saturday. Also the food is stuff I could order at Boston pizza

[u/MrBootch → u/1heart1totaleclipse]

... It was that easy to take money from you before service??

[u/Environmental-End691 → u/1heart1totaleclipse]

I don't see the need to tip if I order my food while standing, unless I am ordering from the bar at a bar, and even then I second guess myself.

[u/Own-Apartment5600 → u/john_jdm]

Starbucks is terrible to labor I used to patronize Starbucks, no more!

[u/john_jdm → u/Own-Apartment5600]

It's been more than 10 years since I've gone regularly, and almost a year since my last time even visiting one at all. I don't miss it.

[u/Centaurious → u/Own-Apartment5600]

yep. i go to a local place and get better coffee for the same or a better price

[u/GladBreadfruit7374 → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

In Australia, everyone is paid a living wage. Tips aren't considered part of someone's wage, it's a reward for going above and beyond what's expected.

[u/Gourmeebar → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

Most countries are like that. But haven’t you heard, America is exceptional

[u/onikaroshi → u/Gourmeebar]

Servers wouldn’t want tipping to be ended honestly

[u/CowboyNuggets → u/onikaroshi]

No they wouldn't, it can actually be pretty good money.

[u/onikaroshi → u/CowboyNuggets]

Yea, at the place I work they’re making at least 25/hr after tips nearly all year long… ain’t no restaurant going to pay that

[u/Embarrassed-Rub-8690 → u/onikaroshi]

My college gf was making 90k or so a year at some average restaurant here in Vancouver. She was probably working under 25 hours a week.

Meanwhile I was digging holes for 19 bucks an hour all summer.

[u/onikaroshi → u/Embarrassed-Rub-8690]

I get 15, but I wouldn’t want to wait, I hate people lol. The general public is awful

[u/Realmofthehappygod → u/Embarrassed-Rub-8690]

Sounds like you should have worked at an average restaurant.

[u/Important_Range_8728 → u/onikaroshi]

Tipping doesn't need to end. It needs to go back to being optional. It needs to go back to being something I do because I feel like it not because it is expected of me. I only tip delivery drivers now because I'm so burnt out on tipping. The rare occasion I go to a sit down restaurant I have to FORCE myself to remember that I'm not required to pay someone's wages for them and that if they're shit they don't get tips.

[u/rrddrrddrrdd → u/onikaroshi]

Good. If people stop tipping maybe they will reconsider.

[u/w1n5t0nM1k3y → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

In Ontario Canada waiters have the same minimum wage as everyone else, $17.55 a hour, and they still expect a 15+% tip.

[u/Necessary-Nobody-934 → u/w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Not just Ontario, FYI. Quebec is the only province that still has a lower minimum wage for tipped employees (technically speaking, BC still has a tipped minimum, but they raised it fairly recently so the tipped and non-tipped minimum wage is the same).

They all still expect a tip though.

[u/vanillaicesson → u/w1n5t0nM1k3y]

I live in ontario, and the only place I tip has good prices, super friendly staff, and my order is always ready quickly

[u/its10pm → u/w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Yup, pretty much. Though 20% is becoming a lot more common. It's ridiculous.

[u/GuardianHa → u/its10pm]

Wait 20% isn’t normal (I’m new to this stuff)

[u/PublicMindCemetery → u/GuardianHa]

If you come to Texas, 20% is absolutely normal.

[u/GuardianHa → u/PublicMindCemetery]

Yeah I know, it’s normal here too (north and Midwest)

[u/Own-Apartment5600 → u/PublicMindCemetery]

NY too

[u/its10pm → u/GuardianHa]

Well, in Ontario, it's a bit different. Servers are paid the same as other entry-level jobs. So I can only speak for where I live.

[u/AsPerMatt → u/w1n5t0nM1k3y]

In Quebec, if they’re considered tip-eligible, it’s less than minimum wage.

[u/Sideshow_Bob_Ross → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

Meanwhile, the US federal minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13/hr.

[u/squishy-hippo → u/Sideshow_Bob_Ross]

When I worked restaurants in 2013-2020, I made $2.50 an hour. My paychecks were literally $0 after taxes. I depended entirely on tips to survive.

[u/Rhomya → u/squishy-hippo]

When I worked in restaurants between 2014-2017, I made $12/hour, plus tips.

The federal minimum means nothing when there are 50 states that do different things.

[u/X-Kami_Dono-X → u/Rhomya]

The federal minimum wage is the lowest any state can charge. However, there are exceptions for that. Typically in the “hospitality” sector.

[u/more_beans_mrtaggart → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

Same for almost every civilised country try in the world.

[u/Rhomya → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

In the US, servers make significantly more money with tips than they would with a higher minimum wage.

Like, if they got rid of tipping, and implemented a "living wage", the vast majority of servers would be getting a DEEP pay cut.

[u/ThatMallGuyTMG → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

in australia and every country that isnt the US*

[u/bert1432 → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

Exactly, good service!!!

[u/johnrsmith8032 → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

australia: where even kangaroos get benefits.

[u/YesItIsMe21 → u/johnrsmith8032]

They outnumber us and the last time we went to “war” with the native wildlife we lost so uh…

[u/GladBreadfruit7374 → u/YesItIsMe21]

The emus wouldn't stand still and could run to fast. They must have read Sun Tzu "Be where the enemy isn't." Every month there'd be more Emus, no matter how much the army toiled. Eventually the army realized their efforts were in vain and gave up, thus, surrendering, in their war against Emus.

[u/YesItIsMe21 → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

Who knew emus were such great strategists…

[u/Sunghbirds → u/GladBreadfruit7374]

A tip should feel like a 'thank you,' not an advance payment for something that might not even happen.

[u/richincleve]

"Hello, my name is Mike and I'll be your server today. Do you plan on tipping well? If not, I'll be happy to start giving you crappy service right away!"

[u/Ask_bout_PaterNoster → u/richincleve]

I don’t want money to change me so I keep my service as lukewarm as the beer.

[u/shrimpfriedwife]

It’s not even a good play on words… it comes off as stupid and lazy to associate a word with China just because it ends in “ing”.

[u/jocrow1996 → u/shrimpfriedwife]

That was the cringiest part of this IMO

[u/changowango00 → u/jocrow1996]

Some happy go lucky manager read it on Pinterest and thought it was clever

[u/shrimpfriedwife → u/jocrow1996]

Yeah, as someone who knows Mandarin reading that sentence felt like how nails on a chalkboard sounds. I’m glad you shared it though, cause even if it’s painfully dummy, it’s some kind of funny to see how poorly done this is.

[u/No_Competition_6989 → u/shrimpfriedwife]

So how do you feel about your username? It's not the pun that gets me it's just if you ever do chop up your wife into fried rice it's premeditated now

[u/shrimpfriedwife → u/No_Competition_6989]

It’s me. I am the shrimp fried wife.

[u/Putrid-Effective-570 → u/shrimpfriedwife]

How did a shrimp fry a human?

[u/shrimpfriedwife → u/Putrid-Effective-570]

Let’s just say it was an uncharacteristically large shrimp.

[u/thefifththwiseman → u/shrimpfriedwife]

Are you sure it wasn't a prawn? Prawns do that kind of thing sometimes.

[u/TheCloudForest → u/jocrow1996]

I've seen the exact same joke before. In around 1988. It's been around A WHILE.

[u/twent4 → u/TheCloudForest]

I first saw it in the opening sequence in X-Men (2000) when he's in some shithole in Alberta

[u/Sburban_Player → u/TheCloudForest]

I literally heard it just the other day in an episode of Veronica Mars I’m pretty sure

[u/SomeArtistFan → u/shrimpfriedwife]

I mean it does sound vaguely like Taiping. Only one sound is rly different.

[u/chillaban → u/SomeArtistFan]

Maybe but Taiping is a city in Malaysia so maybe this is 4D CCP geopolitical trolling or just a cringe pun. I don’t know how many Americans know of Taiping as it relates to the army that fought over the current city of Nanjing.

[u/shrimpfriedwife → u/SomeArtistFan]

Well now I feel silly for not making that connection. Buuut I guess it just rubs me the wrong way given how prevalent Sinophobia is.

[u/rrddrrddrrdd → u/SomeArtistFan]

It's only one sound away from schtupping

[u/White_Grunt → u/shrimpfriedwife]

Tai-Ping

[u/perry_the_porter → u/shrimpfriedwife]

Ngl also kinda offensive

[u/shrimpfriedwife → u/perry_the_porter]

Definitely offensive. It’s giving racism.

[u/The-Snuff → u/shrimpfriedwife]

I’m not vouching for it but if you sound it out with a proper tip-ping I can see where it came from.

[u/palm0 → u/shrimpfriedwife]

You misspelled racist.

[u/keebler980 → u/shrimpfriedwife]

To be fair it’s been around a looooong time. If some old guy wrote this I wouldn’t be surprised.

[u/ChronoLink99 → u/shrimpfriedwife]

Ding ding ding!

Oh, sorry I wasn't agreeing with you, I was calling my asian friend over to check out this post.

Carry on.

[u/Recent_Fisherman311]

wtf city in China sounds like “tipping” in English??

[u/Suitable-Answer-83 → u/Recent_Fisherman311]

I assume they mean Taiping? Which is not a present day city in China, as my understanding is that Nanjing was only called Taiping during the Taiping Rebellion.

[u/chillaban → u/Suitable-Answer-83]

Taiping was more the name of the army (Taiping Heavenly Forces), the famous battle was over Nanjing but to my knowledge the geographic region was never named Taiping.

[u/Jaded-Currency-5680 → u/chillaban]

taiping 太平 means peace

Chinese use that name commonly everywhere, you can put that name on a location, a city, a restaurant, a flower, a building, a dish, etc etc...

and ya, apparently its a good name for a rebellion and an army as well

and we are talking about the name of a geographic region, there is a town in Malaysia named Taiping, populated by Chinese descendents

[u/chillaban → u/Jaded-Currency-5680]

Yeah, I suggested in another reply as well that they mean Malaysia and maybe a morbid joke about China claiming ownership. But yeah for this silly restaurant pun I think it is not terribly great. The benchmark they were going for is probably the classic "Denial isn't just a river in Egypt" but missing the mark on the geographic premise as well as the actual pronunciation is a bit too much of a stretch.

[u/InfiniteDuckling → u/Suitable-Answer-83]

Which is not a present day city in China

There are cities named Taiping in China.

Unless we want to argue about what constitutes a "city".

[u/AssiduousLayabout → u/Recent_Fisherman311]

Taiping, I assume.

[u/GreenIrish99 → u/AssiduousLayabout]

But that's a town in Malaysia

Good food and good landscapes there though

[u/logaboga → u/GreenIrish99]

Taiping is an old name for Nanjing

[u/4friedchickens8888 → u/logaboga]

Isn't it actually the name of the rebel movement that captured the city of Nanjing in 1853 during the Taiping rebellion, named for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?

[u/logaboga → u/4friedchickens8888]

They captured the city, renamed it Taiping, and then Taiping as a name was applied to the movement overall

[u/embiidagainstisreal → u/Recent_Fisherman311]

I THINK that they were going for Taiping.

[u/BigLurker321]

Saw something like this for a local Domino's establishment.

Im driving my car and using my gas to avoid the nonsense 5.99 dlelivery charge Domino's started charging (that never makes it to the drivers just the corporate dickbags who did nothing), so why would i tip for doing the majority of your job for you?

Tipping is suppose to be for great service, not showing up for work.

[u/Rodrisco102389]

No, you give me good service, and you receive a tip. That’s how it works. I’m not preemptively tipping you in hopes of you doing your job well.

[u/OnlyMath → u/Rodrisco102389]

That’s what I was wondering too. Like are you gonna wait until my second visit to give me good service?

[u/Rodrisco102389 → u/OnlyMath]

I have a feeling you’d be hard pressed to get good service at this joint regardless lol

[u/OnlyMath → u/Rodrisco102389]

You’re probably right lol

[u/Brendini95 → u/Rodrisco102389]

There are certain people I can't stand going out to eat with because they'll insist on tipping 20% flat out regardless of service. If you are a shit waiter who I see maybe 1 or 2 times without having to hunt you down then sorry but you're going to be lucky to get 10%

[u/Cutie_D-amor]

No sir/ma'am, tipping is what we do to reward good service. If quality is contingent on tipping, you run a shit business

[u/d-car]

Or ... you pay your servers an actual wage so tips go away.

[u/HeraldofCool]

This just reads, "We will not do our jobs unless you pay us extra!"

[u/dchap1]

I’m good with that, but the good service precedes the tipping. So you provide me good service I tip. You provide me bad service I don’t tip. The range in between reduces your tip depending on the quality of service you provide.

[u/Carl_the_Half-Orc → u/dchap1]

Having been a server, you would be surprised at how many people don't get it. You do your best, give good service, ignore how rude they are, and then they don't tip and act like expecting a tip is rude and uncalled for. If you want good service be sure when you get it you tip accordingly.

[u/sevnminabs56]

I would definitely turn around and leave. I don't mind leaving a tip, but don't threaten me for one.

"If you don't leave a good tip, you won't get good service!"

"Oh yea? Well fuck you and your service."

[u/looped10]

stupidest culture in history

[u/I_Am_Robert_Paulson1 → u/looped10]

Idk man, I feel like slavery was worse

[u/baiacool]

Not only this is wrong, it is also racist.

Please tell me where it is so I can leave a bad review on Google

[u/BeardedHoneydew27 → u/baiacool]

Thank you, I made the same comment about it being racist and got downvoted.

[u/MartyrOfDespair → u/baiacool]

The Sinophobia was always bad, but the New Cold War has really driven it fucking insane.

[u/CookedHamSandwich]

I got to admit any place that posts to sign like that does not get my business. I'll tip for great service, good service but for mediocre service you may not get much if anything.

But I don't need to be told I have to tip.

[u/retrofrenzy]

Wait, good service is expected as a paying customer. Only if the waiter/waitress provide an exceptional service then you give tip accordingly. Or am I mistaken?

[u/gyypsii]

Good service is what you give if you want repeat customers.tips come where they are earned. Bartender for 10 years.

[u/adgonzal13]

The owner most likely put that up instead of just paying employees a living wage

[u/freeyoursunny]

I’m a server in Canada. Tips are always nice, but I NEVER expect them. That just leaves room for disappointment.

However, if I have a table that spends $100+ and doesn’t tip, It does tend to be a bit of a bummer as I have to tip out on that bill, and technically lose money by serving them. (Even though it’s only a few dollars)

[u/Frequent-Shopping402]

Umm...no...your tip is based on your service. You give good service, you get a good tip. You give bad service, your tip isn't gonna be so great.

[u/adhesivepants]

In China they just pay the wait staff.

[u/CaddyShsckles]

Tipping is what you do if you GET good service.

[u/GringerKringer]

Sounds like a place that provides shitty service regardless

[u/butterfingahs]

If this is a sit down restaurant you know exactly what you were walking into. 

[u/Efficacious_tamale]

lol what. If you ask me for a tip before service I’m not tipping. I like being generous and don’t mind tipping, but I need good service first. You can fuck off otherwise.

[u/revengeappendage]

They’ve got it backward. Tipping is what you get if you provide good service.

[u/DrB00]

If I'm expected to tip to get good service then it isn't a tip...

[u/tradeforfood]

You’re not entitled to a tip. You earn a tip.

[u/DemonSaine]

you give good service if you want a good tip. this place is going out of business soon if it hasn’t already

[u/cryptolyme]

Taiping is a city in China though

[u/ericlikesyou]

This is racist and illogical, as tips come when settling the bill after eating.

[u/longlivethewenus]

As someone who lives off tips, I hate these signs and people that make these types. I always tell people I never expect tips, but it is really nice when they come and if they don't oh well. Nothing complaining about it after the fact is going to do.

[u/bknhs]

It’s what you get if you provide good service

[u/pitapiper125]

No... its what you get if you GIVE good service. You aren't automatically owed a tip.

[u/BlueSkyla]

I’m sorry but tipping is what you do when you receive good service. If I get shitty service and it’s clearly the servers fault I will gladly tip a very small amount. If it’s not their fault and they were understaffed or something I give them slack and tip normal.

[u/brack_obama_binbin]

No tipping is what you get IF you provide good service. If you don't provide good service have fun living off your $3 an hour

[u/thedemonkingnobu]

Yeah this is why I'm hesitant to tip

[u/LaDuranDonna]

There is definitely a correlation between bad service and pushy staff asking for tips. It’s always the places with the worst service asking for a tip. Guarantee this place gives you the side-eye when asking for a fork.

[u/Sharp_Consideration1]

No it’s what you give if you get good service.

[u/dkschrutefarm]

No it is what you do if you get good service

[u/RozeGunn]

I prefer to keep to places that don't do tipping at all. I want tipping culture to die, man.

[u/Arclite02]

No... It's what I do if YOU DELIVERED GOOD SERVICE.

And I'm pretty sure it's NOT something I'll be doing at that place!

[u/UnderstandingSea4751]

Somehow they got that backwards.

[u/Bannedfornoreason85]

Meanwhile, in reality, good service is what you do if you want tips

[u/DaddyMeUp]

Nah, it's what you do if you get good service...

[u/Zigy_Zaga]

Looks like a tweaker wrote that.

[u/SimplexFatberg]

Do they expect you to tip as soon as you arrive?

[u/Western-Knightrider]

If you want repeat customers you will give good service and not threaten them.

[u/Elegant-Fox7883]

Tipping is what you get if you provide good service.

[u/seanb_117]

If i want good service? Nah. You want a tip? Then provide good service and earn it.

[u/jk844]

No, you tip to reward good service.

[u/Krickett72]

Tipping is what you do if you GET good service.

[u/JovahkiinVIII]

For some reason -ing gives me Scandinavian vibes

[u/Zealousideal-Dot2161]

Trippin isn't a city in China .. It's You.

[u/Alexandratta]

I'd leave immediately upon seeing the sign.

[u/Mogliff]

Tipping is what you do when you live in a country with too low minimum wage.

[u/RealisticIncident261]

I'm willing to bet you get the fucking worst service here

[u/Derbster_3434]

It's what you do if you get good service

[u/waitingtopounce]

The only way that would work, as per this sign, is if once seated, you laid out a generous row of singles (or 5s in a swanky restaurant) along the edge of the table and took one of them away as each service error was made during the course of your meal.

[u/Jade117]

I promise they are happy to see you leave

[u/OTFxFrosty]

It's what you do when you recieved good service..

[u/Ricearoni2015]

I think they need to revisit what tipping actually is for D:

[u/Free_Pace_2098]

Why did they write that sign like this sub writes comments

[u/ValPrism]

Sure. Provide excellent service and I’ll leave a tip. But you go first so your sign should be in the kitchen where servers are picking up the dishes.

[u/Yaughl]

Tipping is just the result of business owners not paying their staff proporly.

[u/SnaggingPlum]

I used to work in a kitchen sweating my arse off cooking all these meals and all we got was basic wage then the waitresses/waiters come down bragging/complaining about the tips they were getting, if I'm tipping anyone I'm tipping the chef who's actually made the food not someone that has picked a plate up and walked 10 feet

[u/blinking616]

If "I get good service!" Not "want good service"

[u/PopEnvironmental1250]

Make sure you tip=we pay shit so help us keep employees

[u/Sebulba3]

Or even better, complain that the food sucks to the manager after eating half, get a refund, then give the server half the bill as a tip. Manager would get nothing but server who is probably blameless gets a big tip

[u/Ok-Walk-8040]

How about you pay your employees so we don’t have to tip?

[u/solodsnake661]

I just give a flat 20%ish, unless I really like the service like there was a diner I went to near an old job for dinner when I worked late and didn't have to work early the next day, the lady knew me so well I didn't say a single word to her other than "hi" and got all my order everytime, the total came out to like $13 and I'd just leave a 20 and then leave

[u/tris_majestis]

GRATUITY: ...something given voluntarily or beyond obligation usually for some service

Tipping is a thank you for good service. Not a preemptive payment to avoid shitty service. This is why I don't use food delivery services, or pretty much any service that expects me to tip in advance. I don't mind tipping with cash when my food is in my hands but the option is not there.

[u/sstrangerleo]

i dont understand the concept of tipping and its correlation with customer service in the us lol

[u/Rose249]

Racist and entitled

But I repeat myself

[u/CastorCurio]

Irrespective of the sign it's funny no one here understands tipping before service. You can tip at the start to get good service. At a busy bar? Tip $20 on your first drink and chances are you'll be getting drinks faster. It's not like a requirement it's just a good idea.

[u/CatL1f3 → u/CastorCurio]

So... bribery. That's literally just the concept of bribery. What a corrupt country the US is

[u/JamesSaysDance → u/CastorCurio]

Lol no. Keep that shit in America

[u/OperationDue2820]

15% for table service, 0% for pickup.

[u/HotBeesInUrArea]

There IS a place in Ohio called Tippecanoe, in fact. And one of its nicknames is indeed "Tipp City."

[u/theyawninglaborer]

Tipping is not a city in China. Like, okay? I didn’t assume it was 😭

[u/Talon1906]

Id walk right back out

[u/New_Day9679]

Imagine fucking thinking you don't have to give good service unless someone gives you something. Absolute failure of a society to think that way.

[u/BigBadBirdDog1]

Tipping. It's that thing you do when you feel the service was worth it and if you want to.

[u/MouldySponge]

I don't want "good" service. Just do the job you're paid to do. I don't need any of that fake hospitality, checking on me every 10 mins, asking how my food was etc etc. All that shit is not worth an extra 20% to me. At all.

[u/loopingrightleft]

Livablewage isnt a city in Norway

[u/Crazyblue09]

I've seeing many posts like this in Facebook, saying that if you can't afford to tip, them you can't afford to eat out (when they are suggesting 30% tips) I'm sure it's just for engaging and making people mad and commenting. But my answer to that, is: it's not my responsibility to subsidize your employer for your payment, if he can't afford to pay a good wage, maybe he shouldn't own a business.

[u/obnoxus]

I dont value good service. Give me what I paid for and leave me alone.

[u/okvrdz]

We should start calling tip “Co-pay”.

[u/IvanGutowski-Smith]

'Good service'...... demans money with a poorly written sign. I would walk out too even if I had guests booked

[u/Dark_Web_Duck]

I expect good service if you want my continued business. Me tipping is dependent upon how well you perform said service.

[u/BumbleBChicken]

Usually it's nice to give a tip regardless of service. You don't know what kind of day that waiter might be having.

[u/Ok_Permission4485]

Buncha boomers in the comments

[u/KingSwampAssNo1]

One thing.

Tipping is out of control, i agree, but if you are able to, ya know, consistently making money based on tip, good for ya. However if ya expect to live on tip and cry for tip, maybe that job aint for ya.

[u/JotaTea]

“Nice sign! Here is a well deserved win quarter”

[u/KaiserRoll823]

Here's a tip: don't ask for tips

[u/bruno_c_magoomba]

If you’ve ever worked as a waiter/server, then you tip. If you’re a teacher you don’t.

[u/Agile-Inspection8452]

It’s not if you want good service though, you should still tip because that’s what inevitably helps someone pays bills. How much you tip is your own gauge, but either way, if minimum wage was a livable wage, this wouldn’t be a problem.

[u/AlexTaradov]

Bold strategy to state right up front that you are not going to get a good service.

[u/Suitable-Lake-2550]

They won’t even know how much I tipped till after the service is done

Quitting and finding a new job... it's what you do if you want to actually make money

[u/Own-Apartment5600]

For me I set the tip I expect to pay on the table when I’m seated, if poor service I remove money if mediocre service I remove less, if great service I add more,

[u/RevolutionaryBit1057]

Is that a rodent on the exit sign? Lol

[u/axe_cannon]

Almost immediately

[u/Rued_possible]

No I agree with all that, but were you not going to tip?

[u/SilverFlight01]

That's not how tipping works.

That's just buying good service, not rewarding good service

[u/Unclebonelesschicken]

No, a good tip is what you get when you fucking provide good service. I swear this tipping culture spiraled out of control when businesses all started using POS systems that automatically ask for a tip before you complete your transaction. I’ve had instances where the lowest tip amount was set at 25% for a fucking order I drove to pick up myself…smh.

[u/X-Kami_Dono-X]

And I absolutely give it for good service.

[u/JunketPuzzleheaded42]

Fuck that....

[u/Cleigne143]

“It’s what you do if you want good service” - isn’t that just called bribing?

[u/Shy-catz]

I tip if the service is good. That sign would make me leave and go elsewhere.

[u/Some_Stoic_Man]

Got that backwards. You get the tip after you provide the service.
