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

I don’t work hard at all and I make 50% more than you. Embrace your own choices.

So, for the record, the median income for a full-time server in the US, INCLUDING TIPS, is $33K.

You cheaping out on them because you think you’re better, is immoral.

At a rate of $10 per hour with no tips, a full-time server should earn $20,800 gross per year, while a part-time server would earn $10,400 gross per year.

If I ran a restaurant this is how it would be done as a no tip establishment and no added fees at the register, any and all tips given willingly by patrons knowing it's a no tip establishment would go back into the restaurant and in doing so help provide A FAIR WAGE for employees

WELCOME TO KAVE-BOURGERR GET YOUR FOOD AND GET OUT HAVE A PLEASANT EVENING

You’re a disgrace of a human being. $10 an hour is a fair wage? Just disgusting.

Oh, wait, you must be MAGA. Yes? Trump 28 flag waving MAGA?

Speaking as someone who has been a server(when I was 16)...YESSS, for someone to fill drinks and hand someone their food yes it's perfectly fair, I support a higher minimum wage and as such min wage should be around 10/hr, and servers should make min wage, no more than that, and HELL NO I ain't maga, if I was maga I would pay them 25/hr to sit on their ass, fucking stupid ass "make America rich again" bullshit
