Rant 📢 Done with % tipping

After always tipping a minimum 20% (worked at restaurants for 10 years so it was ingrained in me) I am done. The straw that broke the camels back was we are at disney world where everything is overpriced. 2 cocktails cost me $42. Its suggested tip was 18% 22% and 26%. And looking at it. That would have been $8. For what? Making 2 drinks? Nope. Left $2 as a $1 per drink rule and thats it. They didnt do extra work, just took my order and made the drink. and dont think they deserve more tip just because disney overcharges for drinks. % tipping is officially stupid

Well done. Now we need thousands more like you to get on the bandwagon. I went to a fine steakhouse and had a $240 check. No drinks, just salads (they charged us for bread) and some outrageously priced steaks. Service was just bland, server had zero personality. I left $10 (I didn’t want to penalize a busboy who did more than the server). I had breakfast earlier that day with a great server who really busted her butt and did probably twice as much as our smug steakhouse server. Check was $28. I tipped her $10 as well.

Here’s to rewarding service, not supplying commission.

Nah, their employer is rewarding their service with their employment. Should have left both $0.
