We just don't go out to eat. We don't need these services. Pay your staff a living wage and stop lying about how you have to pass it on to customers.
Maybe she is 30% meaner this year
Too complicated.
Most workers these days are deranged idiots. They absolutely do not deserve tips!
Yes whenever i feel pressured to tip excess, I just don't go back there. Finished.
At Newark Airport the self service checkout asks for a tip.
0:40 imagine listening to the freakin guy about etiquette 🤣🤣🤣🤡
There is so much tipping that I'm not even sure anymore what we actually tipped before the pandemic. I'll go to a restaurant, then pay using their device and I add a tip to that. Then a server serves me food… did my tip on the device go to the server or is this another tip? Also, when I pick up food and not dine in a restaurant, there is a convenience charge. So, do I still tip? It is too much.
This is what happens when you print too much money in inflation every place you go requires you to tip to offset inflation
This is crazy. I just want to eat outside, now they are suggesting people to research about the state laws, who is making the minimum or sub minimum wage, or asking the manager about how people are being paid.
No thanks, i will not just tip.
$2.00/hr!? I made more bagging groceries in the late 80's! How much could tipping possibly offset that?
I have almost entirely stopped tipping unless the person providing me serivce provides exceptional service. My wallet thanks me for it tremendously. Providing good service is supposed to be and should be expected to be the standard without tipping involved. Tipping now is just employers way of being lazy to pay their employees a decent wage. A movie theater I went too charged me 18% gratuity already included the minimum bill charge which was a reach in itself but then they had the audacity to ask for another tip on the signing receipt. Its especially awkward at coffee shop drive thrus where they are holding the device for you to choose an tipping option.
Sorry! NO TIP FOR YOU!
I only provide a tip AFTER the meal/service; you are a fool if you do it before. And I only do it if I'm given exceptional service. It's not uncommon for me to leave a $10 or $20 bill under the plate for great service. However, I still need to look at the check carefully for things like mandatory service fees, back-kitchen fees, inflation add-on fees, etc. If you're adding those fees. NO TIP FOR YOU! Use your own money to "vote" how you would like things to be. Don't give in to tip touchscreens.
If your survival is dependent on tips and you're barely surviving, I hope your manager can increase your wages or you find a better-paying job that isn't reliant on tips you have no control over.
Can't afford to tip your hard working servers? Don't go out to eat then. Better yet, clean up after your kids. Your know how many times I've wanted to hand a mom a broom? Why you gonna let your kids throw food on the floor? What's your house look like?!? Shameful
No tips for counter service. No trouble hitting “No tip.”
At this point, people will dine out less and restaurants will make less money
People say if we pay employees more food prices will go up, ok and? Arent we already paying MORE because we have to tip people to make up for the cost of the employer already not paying them the minimum wage? Like we are already paying more with tip or like hospitality charge. But if they were to raise the price of anything like 10 cents the people who say we should still tip would blow a gasket because they are "paying more for this liberal BS." The rest of the world is doing just fine raising minimum wages and not tipping, its just old baby boomers who cant realize that their $2 dollar an hour job paid relatively a lot more than $7.25 does now. And we know this, if wages went up with inflation, as they should cuz its still money, the minimum wage would be over $20 by now.
Tipping is entirely optional.
I base it on the service I receive.
Minimum wage jobs are not supposed to be a career.
I think employers need to be responsible for paying a living wage. Somehow the rest of the world manages to pay servers decent wages without making eating out too expensive. 🤷♀️
I'm an American who has lived most of my life in Europe where there is no pressure or need to tip as the workers are paid a LIVING wage! I totally resent tipping – nobody tips me! People who work for tips make a 🔥 of a lot more money than I do ! My cousin paid cash for his first house with tip money. Now ask me why I resent tipping.
Blame tRump
We go out rarely. I don't have a problem tipping when I get good service. It feels like it's demanded now. Nope.
I get a grab and go. I don't dine in again unless it's a special occasion. But I went to a fave restaurant the other day, ordered a take out and was still charged a tip! Yes, still charged a tip!
Go back to cash payments as I do with good old coins and bank notes. Those Tap & Go machines are set up to be greedy.
You forgot to mention that tips don't always go to the worker.
Pay all workers at all jobs a living wage. Period.
Just hit No Tips simple but it's annoying
You think consumers should research what employees get paid!! No. The problem is that Services that have not been traditional tipped services are now asking for tips. That is the problem. You have businesses trying to pass the wage obligation to the consumer instead of pay their staff a fair wage. Why on earth am I getting asked to tip a fast food work today when I wasn't 5 years ago? Focus on the problem!!! Bad business is the problem and they are effecting traditional tipped workers everywhere. You should be calling out those businesses and shaming them into correcting their greedy tactics to pay their employees less and then blame the consumer for their decreasing income. Common NBC, focus on what is really happening.
Things that have to go:
1. Tipping
2. Day light savings time
3. Imperial system (metrics system is so much easier!!)
