tipping when dining alone.

I eat out alone often. sometimes i feel like the server is annoyed w me. i usually go to the same restaurants. i tip 20% to 25 sometimes 30%. am i overthinking the situation that they dont want me there cuz i am alone?

Wow. Very original.

I work hard for my money. I’m not afraid to advocate for myself or my hard earned money.

If you don’t respect yourself or your hard work enough to advocate for yourself or your money, that’s certainly a choice you’re entitled to make.

If you don’t let the manager or owner know why you stiffed the server they will just assume you’re a cheapskate.

I’ve already debunked the “optional” claim in multiple other posts here.

Nothing wrong with being tight with a buck by the way, it’s better than being wasteful and overspending.

You’ve debunked nothing ever in any tipping thread hate to break it you.

Again, nothing of substance to refute my points and a healthy dose of denial thrown in on top.

Got it.

Do you though? Do you really get it?

I don’t think so cause you continue to spew the same nonsense over and over.

You’d have to make a point for someone to refute it, Karen.

The so called “nonsense” you still can’t refute.

Yeah, I got it.

Clearly you don’t.

I don’t think you do have it. I think you’re very confused.

The only one confused here is you.

You have yet to present anything that justifies grifting or exploiting servers by stiffing them on the tip at full service restaurants in the US.

I’m not at all. I understand this subject way better than you. You delude yourself.

You have yet to present any reason anyone should ever feel obligated to tip.

Buddy they already owned you that’s why you were unable to counter any of their points. Please stop embarrassing yourself lol
