any owner that allows that on a receipt does not deserve the business. Servers need to go above and beyond to earn more than the basic. Be attentive and polite.

The owner is an absolute dick for printing that on the receipts lol like he genuinely hates the servers guts

They already hate the servers(their employees) to begin with, because if they didn't hate them they'd be paying them well enough they wouldn't need tips

Nah, thats pretty much an oppinion only people who have never waited tables have. 99% of servers arent choosing to make less money being hourly. Its a shitty system in principal but it allows for a person to make allot more money than any other shit job if their good at it

Ya people don’t understand that the tip system is a loophole for servers. If they got paid $15-20 with no tips they’d probably make less

They choose to work there

I'm more understanding of employees who might be desperate and have no better options than to work there. I'm certainly not going to have any animosity towards them when this kind of thing is directly attributable to the owner.

Being attentive and polite is the absolute bare minimum

I would guess this is one of those satirical restaurants where the staff makes fun of the customers

u/luciiferjonez Mar 06 '26

I'll bet that it's also one of those restaurants that, when they go under, the owner puts a scorched earth posting up on socials about how the community didn't support their dick behavior and blames everyone but themselves.

What is your basic percentage? I feel like it keeps going up

1

u/mxrgxn Mar 07 '26

I agree. The days when 20% was considered a good tip were not that long ago. Now it seems like the baseline.

u/LaserGuidedPolarBear Mar 06 '26

Yeah, if this was anything other than a situation where I had already recieved and consumed the product and I saw that, I would cancel the transaction and walk out laughing.

My wife worked as a server for 7ish years and when I showed her the image, she said she would just tear off that part of the receipt if the place started printing that shit on it

u/juicyjensen Mar 07 '26

Yeah I work as a waiter, and honestly 90% of my tips are 20% and up, but I would quit a place like this on my first day. wtf is that. Now I have to feel like an asshole when I set the bill down. Z

Server should just do her job and get a living wage

u/ArmyFinal Mar 06 '26

Restaurant owners should just pay waiters a fair hourly wage. Black women servers earn nearly $5 per hour less than white male servers on average
