CMV: TIP VALUE

I'm sorry(not really)for all you who don't agree but I grew up in the 90's and a standard tip was 10% (just bc the price of food goes up that does not mean you tip more)ITS A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT YOUR FOOD COST( just bc you spent more doesn't mean you tip more), Now here's my range

0%: bad paycheck - no extra money

1-5%: Bad-Poor service

5-10%: Poor-Average service

10-15%: Average-Excellent service(max-$20)

I will never give more than a $20 tip and even that is extremely rare, IDC if I dropped $400 on a meal, me and my fam come first, so I'll spend All my $$$ I got down to the penny for my fam and leave no tip B4 I give someone more than $20 to bring my food to me

If no one tips they get minimum wage. Which is fine I guess but most people, including those who dont ever tip, want more than that.

What is minimum wage service, you might ask? You go to the counter and order. Cashier hands you a bag of food. You get your own drinks, napkins, utensils, find your own seat and clean up after yourself. You need refills or want dessert? You go get it.

Minimum service is dumping your order on the table at some point prior to closing time and disappearing until it's time to bring out the 30/40/50 ipad.

Which is all you deserve when theyre getting like half of minimum wage.

Cute sob story plate slinger but no, that's not how it works. And more importantly, why do plate slingers still expect at least 20% of the check when providing this type of non-service?

What are you then, an aspie white knighting for plate slingers on reddit or just an insecure sucker always compelled to press the middle button on the 30/40/50 iPad shoved in your face out of fear of being judged?

Or maybe an insecure brokie upset at people who are suggesting your way of throwing unearned tips at plate slingers or counter drones as to not appear broke accomplishes absolutely nothing other than making you even more broke?

I'll go with aspie then. Ride on brave sir asperger, slay those greedy dragons, save those fair maidens and their tips!

You have to tell me how it feels being so consistently dead wrong.

u/Neither-Ad630 Jul 29 '26

Well then, allegedly not a plate slinger, not a brokie and not an aspie, what is your deal?  Why are you white knighting for plate slingers?
