The thing is, tipping culture exists because customers are intentionally left with the burden of either ending it, or leaving the wait staff underpayed. Our compassion is used against us to perpetuate a predatory business relationship. It is true, the only way to end this is to throw the least well off under the bus. Pretty much. You're not wrong to say that customers shouldn't be pressured into paying an ostensibly-optional surcharge to ensure wait staff are fairly compensated, but if you choose not to tip, you're not solving the problem. All you accomplish by doing that is saving yourself some money and making it a little harder for your server to pay rent, while the laws and business practices that make tipping functionally necessary go on unchanged and uncaring of your little act of protest.

Why are you still trying to attach a specific service to that support instead of answering my question about why you feel it's necessary to attach a specific service to that support? OhhhJa posted... I personally do tip for takeout and have also worked as a bartender and BOH in restaurants but thats such a ridiculous take lol. You better tip at the drive thru then so you're at least logically consistent. Don't just tip because its requested Sub-quarter tips generally carry the message of "I really disliked your service and want to make sure you understand that instead of assuming I forgot your tip." That's not offering a tip so much as it is using the tip jar as a means of disposing small change that isn't worth the effort of saving. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
