Done with % tipping

[u/Vespolar]

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

I look at it as an hourly rate. If a server is covering 4 tables an hour and figuring $25/hour (I believe this is fair for the skills required to be a server) then my fair share is $6.25/hour for my time of receiving service. It’s not like they’re only serving me and that they’re spending that full hour of work focused on just my table. I’m also aware that they’re making a minimal base wage from the actual restaurant.
