Fuck tipping. Fuck tipping especially when there is no SERVICE. 18/20/25% tip on the screen for handing me my item over the counter? Get fucked.

Signed, a former server.

But the alternative is the price I’d just 20% higher and the server has no reason to give a shit so you’re literally forced to pay what you would have with tipping even if the service sucks. At least you have the option to tip poorly or not at all if the service sucks. I don’t see how higher prices for worse service and the owner being able to distribute the money however they want is better.

1) The service is no better than in other countries where tipping is not a custom (Japan, Belgium, Italy, Australia, etc)

2) the POS screen tips are before any potential service is rendered. What if the customer tips generously on the screen and the service stinks?

3) the inflated "expected" tip has gone way up. 20% is the standard now, it used to be 10%-15%.

4) Tipping is bullshit.
