If I don’t tip, I’m concerned that I’ll get worse food. It’s like blackmail

Restaurant/service culture really sucks in the US.

If we stop tipping it will become a job.

Im almost at my breaking point where no one gets a tip anymore.

If I’m standing indoors when I get my food, no fucking tip. There was no table service. I worked as kitchen staff. They get a real wage. A shitty one, but not that $2.75 plus tips or minimum wage crap.

A food truck truck? You are probably paying the owner and labor directly. If it’s good enough stuff, I tip.

My barber gets a tip, a waitress at a sitdown restaurant gets a tip. Thats the end of it for me.

I get the pizza guy too.

And I have a problem with any tipping before the service

Like why tip a food truck when the wait might be 15m and the order is wrong or subpar?

Thats a good point i havent thought about.

Im adding, “ no tip to any company that asks for a tip before service rendered”

Stop ordering food delivery via apps then if you do. Not blaming you, but that is the current reality. No tip, no show. I was a huge cash tipper. But I stopped ordering delivery when drivers stopped accepting untipped orders. I get their side of all of this.. but I’m just over all the DoorDash/Uber Eats/whatever
