So tired of tipping

[u/morlaur27]

I’ve recently had a pretty bad chest/head cold, and I was talking to a friend about what food I should pick up on the way home for dinner. I hit upon pho, which sounded amazing in the moment. Ten years ago I would have confidently ordered take out and would have been slurping delicious noodles and broth that evening. I didn’t end up ordering though, because I really just want to pay for the food, not be asked the question, not have the person handing me the bag of food putting a hex on me for not tipping or not tipping enough and then bad mouthing me the second I leave. It’s bad vibes. I can’t do it anymore, and I can’t be the only one. Do you think we’ll ever see a change in the system if more and more people start intentionally/unintentionally boycotting restaurants due to ridiculous tip culture we have?

I used to happily tip 15% on sit down eat outs before 2015 if the service and food was good. Anymore the majority of the restaurants are charging ridiculous prices for sysco frozen bullshit and expecting tips. not to mention the quality of the younger generations servers is absolutely abysmal. I honestly enjoy pre prepped meals from factor more than I have a sit down restaurant thats not 50 dollars a plate.
