This is very occasionally popping up in restaurants in Australia. Whether you live here or travelling. Do not tip unless they did something incredible. I’m talking the fish brought your grandma back to life and the chef reconnected you with your long lost father. We don’t want to encourage tipping culture. We want to increase minimum wage. It’s like $23 now and we need that to keep growing with the economy.
It's getting ridiculous though like even gas stations are starting to ask. Like sorry why should I leave a tip to get a Snickers and bottle of water rung up?
I don't tip, but that's achieved by never doing anything where tipping is expected.
I pre-ordered a pair of shoes online and the website asked for a tip.
In Australia.
Jennens, they're platform shoes to give me a few extra inches in height.
Guess "name and shame" might be particularly accurate here
bruh didn't meant to put you on the spot. no shame though, get those lifts - the boots look nice.
still incredibly fucked for a web retailer of any kind to even have a tipping option, let alone for clothing. like what am I paying extra for? the privilege of browsing your fucking stock?
Over here in the UK we don't tip as a rule, unless we've been directly served by someone, and even then it's mostly just to leave whatever change there may be.
But it's become very fucking common for chain shops to ask if we want to round up to the nearest £ and donate that money to whichever charity they're working with.
And my answer is always, always, no.
One more reason I would hate to live in America. In Britain we don't give tips.
Dear god why has the tipping post virus migrated from Reddit. JFK just don’t tip—it’s okay. I worked as a waiter for 5 years, we literally don’t even pause to think when we get stiffed. Nobody cares.
Bullshit as somebody dating a server a couple groups stiffing her is the difference between if it was worth it to go to work or not.
If you can't tip don't go to a sit down restaurant. The servers there are making less than minimum wage if you don't tip. If the server has to pay for childcare they can literally work all day and lose money if you've decided you're not going to tip
Seriously, if you can't afford to tip your servers at a sit-down restaurant (in places that pay below minimum wage for servers), then you can't afford to eat there. It's not some life hack, you're just being a piece of shit and the only thing you are accomplishing is fucking over your fellow worker. If you don't want to tip, don't eat at places with table service.
if u are in :amerikkka: and u have the means please tip people whenever and wherever you can, if leaving a tip is an option it is likely because the person you're interacting with is being crushed under pitiful wages and astronomical expenses
It gets easier the more you do it. Don't feel bad for not giving away the money you own.
Tipping is why I carry cash for restaurants I don't need to let the server know the number of audible beeps I'm hitting on the machine as they loom over me to guilt me into that 25% tip for whatever ungodly reason exists on the machine.
if I have time, I will Google the starting pay at whatever place and see if they are paid above minimum wage or paid that ridiculous $2 an hour that wait staff get since they also get tips.
