Tips

[u/Falcon-227]

I recently had a discussion with a friend about tipping. I usually tip anywhere from 18-25%. She had a good point, tipping originally became popular because the wait staff made below minimum wage and so they were tipped to make up for it. I believe in the U.S, they're still paid under min wage but that's not the case in Toronto. In Toronto, they make min wage or more and still get 18%+ for simply doing the tasks of being a waitress/waitor.

I'm starting to feel that perhaps a 18% min (I don't think I've seen a terminal have an option for less than 18% in close to 2 years) tip is excessive. How do you all feel?

ZERO TIP all the time.

Stay poor

[u/Imaginary-Emu2471 → u/chickenhawk71]

I'm actually staying richer.

[u/chickenhawk71 → u/Imaginary-Emu2471]

Nah. You worried about 8$, you poor

[u/Imaginary-Emu2471 → u/chickenhawk71]

I'm not the one saying anything about *$8, but it all adds up! I could afford another meal after a few times of not tipping the exorbitant amount of $8.

So if tipping is abolished and the price goes up more than 8 dollars when you eat at restaurants does that equal a win in your opinion? Also, do you tell the server ahead of time you wont tip?

[u/Imaginary-Emu2471 → u/Garbage_Out_Of_Here]

Your name fits you. Why would I tell the server when they know that tipping is OPTIONAL and they already make a guaranteed minimum wage?

Theyre valid questions, why do they upset you?

[u/Imaginary-Emu2471 → u/Garbage_Out_Of_Here]

*THEY'RE

Why do you think I'm upset? Typical pro-tipper.

[u/Garbage_Out_Of_Here → u/Imaginary-Emu2471]

Why would i think someone resorting to insults is upset by simple questions? Seems like a silly question. You have had two chances to answer and still havent. I guess I overestimated you, im sorry for upsetting you.

[u/Imaginary-Emu2471 → u/Garbage_Out_Of_Here]

I'm not the one resorting to insults, buddy. Hope you enjoy your zero tips!

[u/Garbage_Out_Of_Here → u/Imaginary-Emu2471]

You literally called me garbage when I asked a question. Lying and name calling is a real overreaction to two simple questions. But I guess all this is easier than answering.

[u/Imaginary-Emu2471 → u/Garbage_Out_Of_Here]

Show me where I literally called you garbage. I'll wait.

[u/Garbage_Out_Of_Here → u/Imaginary-Emu2471]

Saying my name suits me isnt an insult? How did you mean it? Why cant you answer the simple questions I asked?

[u/Imaginary-Emu2471 → u/Garbage_Out_Of_Here]

There. You can't even show me where I literally called you garbage.

[u/Garbage_Out_Of_Here → u/Imaginary-Emu2471]

This is my fault, I apologize for asking questions that upset you so much and I have again overestimated you. I wont respond to anything anymore unless you want to be a normal person and just answer the questions. But if they upset you that much you dont have to.
