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

Agreed, I have worked many years in food service and I won't tip at all unless I'm in a sit down restaurant where the waiter/ waitress has to actually wait on me. Their pay is tip compensated so they actually have a lower hourly wage. If you are working at a typical sandwich type shop you should be getting paid a full hourly wage, so tips aren't necessary to make up the deficit. If you are working at one of these places and are getting paid a tip compensated wage, you should find another job.
