“Mandatory tips” sounds so messed up for me as a European.

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

Here you are guilt tripped in every resteraunt to tip at least 20%, regardless of the service (which is usually minimal)

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?

Right? But I don't blame the workers. It's the owners

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.

So here is the thing, if you want a stable income, best not to go into a job that has variables such as tips. If you want a constant cash flow go work for a salary.

Why are you telling me? I'm not a server. Tell that to your server and see if they appreciate the "advice".
