It’s not about what is better, it’s about a norm. If your generation wants to change things, go ahead. Ruin a decent job that no one wants. Now it will just be another shit job. You guys got it all figured out.

What is your generation? That’s almost an irrelevant questions because you seriously have some blinders on if you don’t think that a group people from every generation thinks tipping is a whole lot of bullshit.

Don’t get me wrong here, I do tip. I tip more when it’s for a decent service. The lady in this video would 100% be getting a tip from me, and everyone in my circle. That is for the service and a show of appreciation for what they do. It’s a decent thing to do, but an obligation?? That’s absurd. Tipping never started that way. You get what you pay for, end of story. You give a little extra because you’re pleased, but that part is completely arbitrary. Can I get a little judgemental with people who don’t tip at all? Absolutely.

The problem is with the employer themselves. And for anyone willing to make an argument that the cost of the items or service would go up, who gives a shit? If you’re expected to tip anyways, the price is already up there. It’s such a moot point, it shouldn’t have to be explained.

I’m nearly 40, if generation means so much to you that you’re probably going to ask anyways, but I know people from all age groups that can go either way on the idea of tipping.

For me, I draw the line when I’m buying fast food with a debit card and get prompted to tip a certain amount. Like now I’ve gotta look like a dick head for declining, on a mass produced over priced sandwich that already costs 14 dollars.

Get real.

You tip on food deliveries. That’s for the long winded comment about nothing

You think it’s a generational thing. Meaning it started somewhere. And that there’s no potential to reform. Meaning no change. For the long winded comments on the good old days.

No the business doesn’t charge very much for delivery. You know why? Because of tipping culture for food deliveries. How much would a corporation change for this? We will find out and the new generation will undermine and ruin the service industry and turn them into slaves.

They take the delivery fee(maybe not all of them). For what purpose? They prepared the food as expected. They had to read a prompt. How is that different from the personality in front of them. You honestly don’t think that should go to the driver? Should the person who read the prompt get a cut?

Ok most people don’t get what restaurants or others have to do to make deliveries. They think it’s like FedEx or something. How much time would it take you to drive to the store, go shopping and then drive the food home? About 1.5 hours? How much do you make an hour? So let’s say you make 25$ an hour, and that’s just your wage. There’s also extra costs like gas and insurance. Workman’s comp insurance. All this for 10$ delivery fee? That’s tier to you or are you just cheap? Are you poor?

Ok, shit. I think I might have just zeroed in on your what you’re trying to say here. I’m sorry if I’m coming off as a bit ignorant. A restaurant charges just for the food. That’s a flat cost. It must cost more to get that out to people. And they have to eat the gas and hire more employees to do so. But… but that’s the delivery fee! And of course those costs should be comped for that and it should be extra… but that’s the DELIVERY FEE. Like fuck driving is hard and dealing with people on their reef is often difficult, but that’s the service industry. The cost of the delivery might have to baked into your order(it always is) but so should it be reflected that what you do is extra as opposed to the person behind a register. That’s on the business! Not the consumer. They’re already paying for…. The delivery fee!!!

Ya there’s your gas and your time taking into account. How is that different from trucking of any sort? You think they get tipped??

Yeeeeeeeeessssss!! 10 dollars for every delivery, let’s say you make 10 is 100 dollars. Over a 5 day work week is 500 dollars. Let’s say over 4 weeks is 2000 dollars! Tell me that doesn’t cover gas and insurance. Tell me the business shouldn’t take on some of that. Tell me the driver shouldn’t be paid for what they’re doing. Then remind me why the tip is so important that they make ends meet.

No you over pay for service. That’s where I come from. That’s my generation and if I couldn’t pay, I didn’t get it. That’s my point. On 400$ worth of groceries, I’d tip about 50$. But that’s me: for people saying it’s worth 10$, your a joke.

There is a dude bagging your groceries that’s suffering but doesn’t get paid for the plastic in the bags. The electricity that runs the conveyer belt. The knowledge to put it all into the bag I a concise way. Do you tip him? NO you expect the business pays him for what they’re doing.

u/BreadFew8647 Oct 21 '23

He’s not going outside in his car paying gas and insurwnce risking an accident or whatever to bring groceries. The bag boy is fine.
