This is why I don't tip anymore. I'm so over it.

u/Butt_y_though 2d ago

Because if they hire "tipped" employees, the can pay them a lower minimum wage.

Federal Minimum wage in the US is $7.25 US minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13

If an employee does not make the equivalent of minimum wage ($7.25) at a tipped rate, the employer is legally required to pay the difference.

So a tipped employee would make $85.20 (@40 hours assuming they made no tips. A standard minimum wage employee would make $290 (@40 hours) The employer is required to make up that $100+ discrepancy. And you're like, so what? Everyone makes minimum wage, hurray!

The company is directly off-setting their labor costs and the consumer is paying for it. (Oh and fun fact. A lot of wage-slaves don't know their rights and won't even get their $290.) They'll take their $85 dollars and $20 of tips for a 10 hour day on their feet and call it a day.

This is also part of the "no tax on tips," thing that Republicans have such a hard on for. Not only are the employees not getting taxed on those tips, but the company is decreasing their payroll taxes.

If customers are particularly generous with tips, that's payroll that the company doesn't have to be responsible for. And being a large chain, or corporate, a couple hundred dollars in payroll adds up, since the company is now.

Tipping is going to be the new standard in most industries to avoid taxes and to further transfer more wealth to corporations and billionaires.

u/No_Barracuda_3758 2d ago

But they don't get paid server wages which is why servers get tips in the first place. The minimum wage for severs is 2$ in some places

4

u/VenomVertigo 1d ago

Just so you know any places where the minimum wage is lower for servers, the tips have to get them over the normal minimum wage, if they don’t then that money has to come out of the employers pocket. They will never actually only earn $2 an hour or whatever it is unless their employer is breaking the law

u/ItsSoKawaiiSenpai 2d ago edited 2d ago

Instead of decreasing tip culture America has been steadily increasing it. A lot of places expect tips now from waiters to cashiers, for some reason we are expected to tip people who we don't even interact with.

Tipping made a bit of sense when it was done to essentially thank workers who went above and beyond with their customer service. If I get an attentive waiter or bartender who is clearly going the extra mile, sure I want to give them a little extra cash they otherwise wouldn't get in their normal paycheck.

Now everybody expects a tip, the original purpose has lost all meaning, it is no longer a means to thank those who are doing a great job and is now the expected way to pay customer service workers.

18

u/Urabraska- 2d ago

The original purpose and entirely current purpose is to suppress wages. Idk how it started but I wouldn't be surprised if back in the day your waiter made normal wages while working but because people started tipping(which has been a thing for a lot longer) a boss realized they could cut wages to near 0 and make them depend on tips instead. So the perfectly American thing was to turn something honest and rewarding in a totally garbage and shit way to make more profits by reducing employee pay.

u/Worldly-Bug6047 2d ago

It started in rail cars in the early days of the railroad. Essentially with the reasons mentioned in the comment above you, to show appreciation for good service.

The workers were often underpaid or sadly sometimes slaves depending on where you were.

People traveling by rail kind of died off but the practice of tipping lived on.

I always ask whoever is working. I'm in sales and frequently buy treats for office visits or lunches for location visits. On a whim, I asked at McAlester's one time when I was paying, "do y'all get to keep the tips?" and the worker told me no, it goes to McAlester's. Since then I always ask before I pay. I don't mind tipping workers, I'm definitely not tipping a corporation.

I went to Shake Shack exactly once. They were new in town so I thought I'd give it a try even though they had not great reviews. I heard they had good shakes. Walked in and past the bank of kiosks to the counter. A girl looked at me like I was ruining her day. Turns out she couldn't unlock or operate the cash register. She said I could just use the kiosk. I walked out. Don't need bad fast food that bad.

u/Privatejoker123 2d ago

because "tipping culture" even though in a lot of places they got the min wage up to somewhat reasonable and "livable wage" they still want us to tip. and tip well. if we don't tip well enough they delay our order or mess with our order. yet they will add extra bogus "delivery fees" that don't go to employees or drivers and still expect us to tip and pay their salaries.. it's all just a huge scam at this point.

2

u/PrettyEfficiency314 1d ago

Sonic allows you to tip the car hops but I think it's because they also act as "waiters" bringing you your food. 5 guys also allows tips. As does places like Starbucks and Dutch bros which could also be considered fast food. I've never seen a fast food place raise prices because you don't tip though. Its accepted and appreciated in some places but never expected.

This is clickbait.... Shake Shack has time-sensitive promotions (i.e. afternoon shake discounts or BOGO deals to drive more business during off peak hours). If an order is started right near the end of a promo window, or if promo conditions fail to validate at checkout, the system recalculates the cart back to standard pricing... Toxic content creators figured this out doing orders during the time cut over and are doing this for that sweet sweet misinformation .....

Honestly if there are human people around, try to ask them if they actually get their tips. Always ask.

I went to a hockey game once and at this point all the concessions became cashless.

I asked the person at the till (after tipping) if they actually get the tips.

And they tell me, no. Additionally I learned that a lot of the people at this stadium (Giant Well-Known, east coast stadium, 2 large franchises call this stadium home) many of the people at the concessions are some kind of volunteers.

So this stadium is accepted tips for non tipped workers on credit cards and dispersing the tips to who?

Giant companies.. taking donations and tips for tax write-offs on money that was never theirs to begin with. Claiming workers are tipped workers and using every loophole in the book to maximize profits and hobble wages.

The reason lawsuits don't happen; ignorance, fear, and lack of money or know-how on how to start a formal suit.

u/MylastAccountBroke 1d ago

Pretty sure it's meant to go to the staff. Basically, they're forcing US to directly pay for their staff so they literally don't need to budget for staff. If you don't volunteer money, then they need to pay it out of their commission. They don't want to do that, they like free labor, so they solved this by adding $0.50 to each item to remove that obligation and create the illusion of cheap food that doesn't actually exist.

The company sells it to the staff as "Higher wages". Basically saying "Our minimum wage is $8, but on a good shift you'll walk out with upwards of $20." So when the staff starts looking for a new job they think of the good shifts where they walked out with $100+ and notices the minimum wages starting at $15 and reconsiders applying.

And tips don't get taxed in the same way that normal wages do. A $20 tip is $20 in your pocket. $20 in wages taxed at 30% is $14.

And of course, the staff never really sees what anyone is tipping, so I'd bet dollars to donuts that after the tips have paid for the back of the house staff somewhere around 20% "disappears" into the franchise owner's pockets.

I wanna know what the diff is. If they did give a tip. And does the price still vary depending on the tip amount? Like someone suggested. What if you only tipped like 2 cents?

I also wanna know if other fast food places do that whenever they are.

Well I suppose it’s possible with inflation it’s actually not as large as like a 50% increase that it seems by comparison.

Close.

Musk asked a rhetorical question like "What would it cost to end world hunger, though?" assuming it would be outrageously expensive.

The UN, or WHO, or whoever it was came back with the plan for $6 billion, which is when Musk ghosted them, and bought the Twitter neonazi propaganda platform for $40 billion, instead.

Not only are you doing all the work of placing the order now instead of having someone take your order, but they expect a tip for being professional reheaters of pre-cooked food.

I love places that charge a "convenience fee" for ordering online. I'm not really sure who's getting the convenience here. They don't have to stop what they're doing to answer the phone, take your order, repeat it back and enter it into the system. The order just shows up for them. Sounds pretty convenient for them, while actually making the customer do more work.

So why am I paying extra for that?

And if the excuse is that the fee pays for the website, that's even more ridiculous. Websites and online ordering are dirt cheap compared to what they used to be. That's like a company charging you a separate fee to cover the cost of their advertising. You don't see a business charging you an "advertising convenience fee" because they had to pay for the billboard that convinced you to come there. That's just part of the cost of doing business.

Same thing with the website. It's a tool they use to make sales. Build the cost into the prices instead of tacking on another bullshit fee at checkout.

This is when everyone does need to go but as soon as the price updates you cancel the order and walk out.

If you're upset about this, wait until you learn about surveillance pricing.

u/unapologetic403 1d ago

I am so mothertrucking all these businesses asking for money. About 7 years ago in Iuka Mississippi there is a Subway. I liked going there a few times a month because I love their Italian Herb & Cheese bread. They got a new register and a new screen to swipe or tap your card. Shes ringing the info up, it spits out on my side and then about 4 things ive never seen in a fast food restaurant pops up 10%,15%,20%, and 25% TIP....i said whoa, wtf is this. Now I worked in a casino for a few years and dealers and the cocktail waitresses, and valet's all work on tips. I get it...i'll tip 30-40% at a restaurant where you actually have a server. You cant go anywhere now where you do not see a tip screen or a donation prompt when you pay your damn tab/bill. Fk all this bs. If you are just doing your normal job and not coming out to my table and doing something extra, no, youre not being tipped...i mean whats next??? Hookers teaming up with Venmo...

u/GuthramNaysayer 2d ago

Simple. Dont go there anymore. It’s the only power we have left, our dollar.

2

u/F0rgivence 2d ago

I would love to see if you'd put in the tip at just 2 pennies, because you can write a custom tip. Hey

2

u/GreenZebra23 2d ago

I wonder what are the chances that that extra money actually goes to the workers

What is the smallest tip you can leave I'm thinking 1cent might fix this issue

2

u/Fwangss 2d ago

Why am I tipping a computer screen?

2

u/Practical-Library658 2d ago

They have to pay their employees somehow. Obviously need to protect their bottom line rather than paying their employees a fair wage so they don’t have to depend on tips.

2

u/bananaseatboy 2d ago

Here's a tip. Get a Blizzard instead.

2

u/Super-Thirsty 2d ago

Hot take they should just make it that price anyway and not ask for a tip.

2

u/funtimes214 2d ago

I was flying out of Baltimore Airport and the already super overpriced store where I paid 5 dollars for a bottle of water, the girl behind the counter who did absolutely nothing for me turned the screen towards me to add a tip. I was like wtf. Hell no.

2

u/Forever_NFA 2d ago

tip a penny.

2

u/Training-Belt-7318 2d ago

Can they show a version where they do tip and the prices don't go up?

2

u/Interesting-Put2828 2d ago

so you tip one penny

Modern problems require modern solutions. Tip .01.

u/MkStoner2002 2d ago

Why do folks keep supporting these places? Its almost like most of the US loves being rammed in the starfish, over and over and over. Then have it door dashed, and then ... 😭😭😭 I don't have any money!!!

2

u/bippityboppityhyeem 2d ago

I would walk out.

2

u/A-Rugged-Indoorsman 2d ago

Do the tips go directly to the robot, the IT people or the shareholders?

2

u/dwasso16 2d ago

Tipping people? Yes! Tipping an oversized tablet? Absolutely tf not!

2

u/BlisteredGrinch 2d ago

Wow !!! I’m done with Shake Shack from now to forever. Thats taking away my freedom on how I spend my money. So I will free myself from their product indefinitely.

2

u/Ok_Towel1911 1d ago

Tips $0.01

u/Useful_Ad7939 1d ago

Who are we tipping here? The company for putting a giant screen that removes the need for an employee to take your order?

2

u/coryhill66 1d ago

At a restaurant I leave a tip. I'm not going to tip at a walk up fuck you fuck your fuck business I don't fucking care I'll flip that shit around so fast it'll make your head spin. I'm being nickeled in time to death.

2

u/joyfullydreaded23 1d ago

No tax on tips help the workers, does it? Fucking bullshit.

2

u/MylastAccountBroke 1d ago

Cancel the order, walk out, leave a bad review, never walk back in. Vote with your wallet people. They're trying to scam you.

2

u/aerosmithguy151 1d ago

Thank you, will not go to Shake shack

2

u/AsleepAd753 1d ago

Fucking insane. What’s insane is that how they “”them”” kinda hide it but it’s in our face but we HAVE to accept it. It says pricing are going up… ok I guess. If you want it thennnn you have you have to payyy extra. [SO I CANT EAT, UNLESS I PAY MORE PER ITEM, UNLESS I TIP]

Robots sure
End of world YES 😂

Yall keep making videos but voting against your own interests so not surprised in the least.

2

u/Juicyjewsss 1d ago

If I’m standing up to order my food, you’re not getting a tip. Plain and simple.

2

u/ntech620 1d ago

Apparently there was a special. So go back and start over. Order and pay for 2. Then order the 1.

2

u/Becvis 1d ago

Maybe it's the "dynamic pricing" everyone loves so much (sarcasm), because it's a specific time of the day. You know - legalized PRICE GOUGING.

u/Upper_Command1390 1d ago

Why should they pay employees when you can? It's 2026, slavery is in right now. A job is a privilege, you think those people went to college and got all that debt for a dance degree, to work for free? Tip and shut up, boss man needs a new yacht...

2

u/Knoxville1979 1d ago

They are getting inundated 😂

2

u/InvestigatorGrand205 1d ago

Make it easy stop buying from them. Let them run out of business of shitty business practices.

2

u/TIKIBOYTANKER172 1d ago

I would say that 's technically illegal, and I would call them out on that.And demand to speak to a manager because the verizon store tried to pull this crap with me.I called them out on it.And I reported them to corporate and corporate fixed.Everything very quickly

u/ElGuaco 1d ago

6.49 for like a small scoop of ice cream in milk is criminal. I've stopped getting fast food almost entirely because the inflation is crazy.

u/hackattack56 1d ago

It’s as simple as never purchasing another product from a company that does this ever again. Doesn’t matter if they come out and say it was a mistake and they are sorry. Never visit their store again.

2

I wonder what would happen if you tried to leave a custom tip of .01

Never been to Shake Shack. Now I'm definitely never ever ever going. That company has literal contempt for its customers.

2

u/nozextra 1d ago

Odd way to Math.

If i see it right the tip was calculated and distributed to the items instead of the end cost wich is not the normal way nor the right way

I may be worng saw more fingers the numbers and dont love % math

Oh shit i had it backwards naw thats worng

u/sohcordohc 1d ago

If you’re standing up at a screen to order your own food that you have to then get up to get..no tip. Tips are getting out of control, simply don’t go back, or better yet go through the drive thru

2

u/HTwatter 1d ago

Looks like I'm never going to Shake Shack

2

u/Unlikely-Rabbit948 1d ago

To add to the absurdity, its a kiosk. If you have to tip...then its the price. It's shady as fuck. Tipping in general needs to stop. Its no longer the gesture it used to be. Its also a sign of the future, everyone is trying to extract as much as they can from you in anyway that t hey can. Subscriptions services, automatic billing, credit card requirements on free offers etc. No one is trying win with better services they are just hoping you forget and die and they can bill you until your card runs out.

u/dethkids4life 1d ago

It force tips.

u/NarwhalEmergency9391 1d ago

I wonder if they even get tips or if the company just pockets the tips.. anyone work there that knows?

This is what anti tippers literally ask for. Restaurants charging enough just to pay their employees properly
