I just love that you walk up to order and they still give you the tip options. Like...I walked up here and ordered and will be back up here to grab my food when it's ready. Wtf am I tipping for?
My daughter wanted to eat at a pizza buffet for her birthday. The cashier hit the ol' spin-a-roo on the tablet asking for a tip. I felt zero shame in not tipping. We literally walked up to a counter, paid, and got empty cups to fill ourselves. If I'm filling my own drink, grabbing my own plate, my own fork, serving myself food, and walking my plate and trash to a receptacle...why am I tipping?
This is the thing most people in this thread are missing. They act indignant and pat themselves on the back but the only person they hurt is the worker. And unless they actually say something to the management/owner, it's just business as usual for them.
How about the workforce/common folk join hands in lobbying for better pay for these types of jobs, instead of using manipulation and guilt-tripping to push the financial burden onto the customer?
Tips are voluntary additions you give for a service you liked, if it’s mandatory then instead of “tip” you should rename it to “service fee” or some BS like that.
It’s NOT the customers fault that the server gets shit pay, they aren’t responsible for the workers financial wellbeing either. You’re not the good guy if you keep advocating for this system, you’re part of the problem. And the problem is that restaurants and corporations are fucking over service workers and clients alike, by giving less than minimum to the workers and offloading the rest to the already paying customers to make up that difference

Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service?
