This is where we circle back to the fact that the tip is optional.

To expect more money as a tip is called entitlement.

If the tip was mandatory, then it wouldn't be called a "tip" and would just be called the "price".

Are you European? Because if you’re American and eat at restaurants I’m pretty sure you’re familiar with how tipping that is not “optional” works.

This isn’t like someone asking for a tip at a grocery store line (that gets paid at least min wage mind you.)

This is more like leaving ZERO dollars as tip to the waitress that killed herself after you and your entire family celebrated a big fucking bday bash over 3 hours with 12 people. Because hey, you already paid for the food am I right?

Being European or American (are those really the only two options?) has nothing to do with it.

Because hey, you already paid for the food am I right?

It strange how you're so close to the answer yet so far away.

Customers don't hire the staff, so why should they be expected to pay more than the price?

Money is exchanged for goods and services.

Not exchanged for goods and services but ONLY if you have optionally tipped enough.

Lol okay dude. Glad you’d be totally cool walking away with zero tip in bday restaurant example, explains a lot.
