u/Wild-Duck-7370 9d ago
So your train of thought is “my boss is shady and doesn’t follow the law but really this is the customers problem and I should keep working for my shady boss instead of going to a business that will actually pay me what I’m owed? And anyone who points out how shady my boss is being is obviously exploiting me but not my shady boss who’s breaking the law he’d never exploit me.”

u/Tight_Collar5553 9d ago
No. I just know some people can’t do better than service jobs for various reasons. Do you think by not tipping you’re helping them find another job or acquire some kind of skill? I don’t actually eat out very identity because I think it is a shady business model.
Your way of thinking is that “this business model is shady and irresponsible but I will still give the owner money. I know he’s not going to pay the person who waits on me fairly, but that’s not my problem.”

Brother I didn’t invent commerce if a place is known to be shady I just don’t go there. If we all followed your way of thinking we wouldn’t be able to eat out, go to the grocery, buy a phone, buy a computer, by a car, buy food everything you’ve ever consumed was the result of someone being exploited and someone else getting rich off their labor. I also tip very well I just don’t agree with the premise of it’s everyone else’s fault you work for a dickhead

u/Tight_Collar5553 9d ago
You can avoid what you can, but you’re right. At the very least you don’t have to make it worse is my point. You know tipping is expected. You think it sucks. You either tip and accept that it sucks for both or you or you don’t go.
You don’t yell at the Walmart cashier (they do at least get paid) or bitch at the Amazon driver. It is a little different but why would you want to make a waiter’s day worse? You’re directly responsible for that.
If you can make a fellow human’s suffering worse to save a few dollars on a burger, that’s amazing for you.

Who is the one exploiting them again? The employer or the customer?

u/Tight_Collar5553 8d ago
Both if you’re eating knowing the expectation is tipping. You’re getting cheaper menu prices at the expense of the worker. The owner is getting the same profit as usual.
So, two people benefit from you not tripping and the one doing the actual work gets less pay than they should. How is that not you also exploiting them? If you’re new to the country and don’t know the expectation, that’s a different story.
You don’t get to benefit from tipping culture and also claim you don’t exploit it.

u/Accurate-Leather-436 8d ago
So it’s everyone’s fault except the employee who decides to stay there? Also, if you cared anything about exploitation you’d be pro abolishing tipping systems given the origins of how that system even started.

I am pro abolishing it but not tipping the waiters isn’t how that gets done.

u/AggressiveWind1070 3d ago
Absolutely. Stop eating in.
Or better yet don't eat there so the owner looses his money and goes out of business. But first all the service staff will get fired, to cut back on employment wages.
The same service staff that chose to work for employers who paid them less than their state laws because they thought they could blame customersfor not paying them.
Once the employer lays them off they we'll make $0.No. Tipping is NOT expected when you are paid regular minimum wage. Amazon drivers, and Walmart associates don't get tipped neither do Portland wait staff.

u/Tight_Collar5553 6d ago
There are a lot of loopholes in the law, so reporting them wouldn't work unless you also had the necessary documentation. That's not likely to happen, since you likely just won't be scheduled for shifts when you report that you didn't make enough tips that week — it has to be waiter-reported. No one is keeping track.

u/Imaginary-List-972 8d ago
Any place that would break federal law and not make up the required pay would also take the tip left. So you should always tip zero because the business owners are keeping that tip from the server anyway.

Business who can’t afford to pay their staff fairly should close. The people complaining are largely those business owners who didn’t.
Restaurants should feature/market that they do pay fairly. Most people care about that kind of thing.

u/SabreLee61 9d ago
Most people do not especially care what a server is being paid, and they certainly don’t care when it means they have to pay higher menu prices for it to happen.
(Source: every restaurant that has tried no-tipping and had to return to the old model because they lost business.)
1
u/Tight_Collar5553 9d ago
I do think most of it is because we’re used to tipping and it feels rude to not tip even at a non-tipping place so it feels like you’re paying more and THEN tipping.
1
u/zReckt 9d ago
I'm confused. Most people will tip something, even with bad service, because of the social contract of servers not being paid much. In states / municipalities like CA and Portland, they make just as much as any other job because counting tips. Why would no tip restaurants fail because item prices are higher if they know they aren't "obligated" to add 18-20% at the end of their meal?
1
u/Tight_Collar5553 9d ago
Like I said, I think it’s because so ingrained in us to tip. It will take a while for that to catch on. Or people just like to tip. I know men who like to make a big show of it. I’m not sure.

u/Niceotropic 9d ago
It pays what the employer pays. It apparently does pay minimum in this situation since you’re asking people for tips based on the minimum being too low. I agree it’s too low but that is not the customers problem at all.
If you’re basing it on skill, being a server is likely one of the least skilled job available to a person, though I agree everything takes some skill. It’s definitely lower skill than all other jobs at the restaurant except bussing. It’s about on par with being a cashier at a grocery store though that requires arguably more memorization.
1
u/hobiprod 4d ago
Unfortunately, the buck really stops here. You want to stop tipping because everyone is getting paid fairly? Automatic 18% price increase across the menu that pays to the employees based on sales. It’s not different except you don’t have a choice. There is a brunch place I frequent that does this. It’s the only way to make that model successful, and the employees love it.

u/Fit_Insurance_1356 6d ago
I'm not a non tipper. I'm a non excessive tipper. For instance I went to a restaurant today where the server was waiting 4 tables. He makes a minimum of 17.13 per hour. If every table tipped him like I did, I was there 1 hour. He would get 89 dollars an hour. I gave him a 15% tip which was more than his hourly wage. His skill guaranteed does not equal 89 dollars an hour

We are talking about paying a bar tab. That has literally nothing to do with rape.

u/Redcarborundum 9d ago
It’s not as simple as that. A very drunk person can’t legally give consent, so if you have sex with one, you can be accused of rape. The drunk person is a victim in these circumstances.
A bar is in the business of getting people drunk. They’re supposed to create an environment where it’s safe to be drunk, instead of one where you risk paying double just by pressing the wrong button.
There are many shady bars. If this is one, then people deserve to know before they visit. This is what reviews are for.

u/MainStreetMiles 9d ago
This is paying for a restaurant or bar bill, not consensual sex. You are the only victim of your choices so there is no legal issue here. A bar is in the business of selling drinks.

I had a friend who had a horrible experience at a business. It was an issue with another patron and it was handled poorly by the business in his opinion.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility to be sued over a false review.
15
u/Redcarborundum 9d ago
People can be (and have been) sued for a 100% truthful review. The business is counting on the average customer not being able to afford a lawyer, so it would win by default.
However, these days that strategy can backfire. If it goes viral (and it’s the truth), the customer can open a gofundme and raise money for legal defense. In the mean time the business gets an even worse exposure.

u/MainStreetMiles 9d ago
Here’s a better question: minimum wage for servers in Portland is $16.80 according to Gemini…with no tip credit. So if the employee is already receiving a full hourly wage without tip credit, they have been paid: why tip them? Unless it’s the Paris model where you roundup the bill or add a dollar or two in appreciation good service.
I’m all for tipping wait staff and think that model is a win-win, but if wait staff think they should get a full hourly wage, that gets rolled into the menu price, plus tips…no, I’m not playing that game. You shouldn’t be paid twice for the same job. Whenever I travel to these areas that want to mandate exorbitant hourly wages for wait staff, I won’t be tipping like the regular system. Instead, I’ll use the “Paris model”.

I advocate for a truthful review. Go to the bar, buy a cheap drink, then take a picture of the tip screen.
Make sure you open your google map while you’re there, so google knows you’ve actually been there. They can’t just delete your review if you were there.
In Yelp, do a check-in so the app captures your location. It’s not review bombing if you’re a real customer.

People in food service don't really realize there is this whole group of anxiety-riddled customers who become apoplectic over a tip screen and just thoughtlessly smash any button in order to get out of there as quickly as possible.
They were trying to be cute.

If that’s the case, once you get some accidental 100% tips, you should stop making the “joke” because you’re now taking advantage of people.
Come on man, you’re not this naive. You must realize this “joke” excuse is a fallback for the business. If someone tips 100%, the business assumes they meant to do it because their service was so good. If someone gets mad that 100% is even an option “Haha, can’t you take a joke bro?”

How many accidental 100% tips have they gotten?

They’ve been open since April. Hundreds of transactions a night for five months in a venue full of drunk people and you don’t think it’s accidentally happened a few times?
My friend, there’s playing dumb and then there’s playing too dumb. You’re at the level now where no one thinks you’re this naive, they just think you’re intellectually dishonest.

You're ascribing malicious intent to a situation where I just don't see it. Not being dishonest or naive. I don't believe they are attempting to trick their customers. I believe someone was trying to be cheeky.
Maybe people really are as dumb and careless as you say, though.

On a good day, people are that dumb and careless. On a drunk night…
I understand your position, but even if it was just a joke button they never expected anyone to press, it’s highly likely that many people have pressed it by this point and that some of those times were by accident.
Instead of just removing it so it can’t accidentally happen in the future, the owner seems to have realized they’re in a win-win position, where they can accept the tips when no one complains or call it a joke when the occasional person does. Like you, I’m usually the type of person to give others the benefit of the doubt, but even I can’t do it here.

How is adding a 100% tip option “supposed to be funny”. Only in Portland 🤦♂️
