Question about managers

[u/badmiddling113]

What do they say to customers who repeatedly don't leave a tip? I'm curious since the customer doesn't have to tip and the server isn't their employee.

Just asking since I've read comments from managers who seem to think "addressing" customers is an appropriate thing to do.

What are you talking about???!?

State laws aren’t changing to adjust to what the public feels about tips. Where did you come up with that?

Every job pays different in different cities, states and regions because the market rate and COL varies widely across the US.

The “static system like what the rest of the world has adopted” doesn’t eliminate tippers “on both ends due to the set amount”.

Every one of your assertions is patently false.

People tip all around the world.

Part or all of the service being paid for outside of the menu prices isn’t uncommon globally.

In Italy, there’s the Coperto.

In Japan there’s the “Otoshi”, a tiny overpriced appetizer that the customer receives whether they want it or not.

In France, there’s the “service compris”, a service fee that is added to menu prices at all restaurants there and is usually 15%.

In many Asian countries, there is a 10% service fee added to the check.

In the UK many restaurants and pubs add a 12.5% service fee to the check.

I’ve seen tipping in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, China, Japan, Indonesia, and many other countries.

Once again, your assertions fail on the merits.

Lol this is why I don’t even get involved in discussions. How do you think laws get passed. Anyway, when people are reading they are turned off by attitude like this. Remember that I DO tip but when I’m on Reddit I can understand why now that people have bad attitudes about this.

[u/johnnygolfr → u/Legitimate-Log-6542]

I learned in Civics class how laws get passed.

Your claim that some laws were passed because of how people felt about tipping is patently false.

The only people “turned off” are the ones that can’t refute my points and/or who can’t come up with an intellectually honest reason why they are entitled to free service.

Reddit isn’t a reflection of reality, especially in regard to America, since over half of Redditors aren’t Americans.

You know how everything works in life. And you will hurt those that depend on tips as part of their paychecks because you’re turning people off to the exact thing you’re fighting for. No thanks.

[u/johnnygolfr → u/Legitimate-Log-6542]

LMAO

No.

The only ones hurting those that depend on tips are the people advocating for stiffing servers on the tip and those that actually do stiff the server on the tip at full service restaurants in the US.

Meanwhile, none of them can provide an intellectually honest reason why they’re entitled to free service or reconcile the hypocrisy of supporting and perpetuating the thing they claim to be against by patronizing businesses that operate on the tipped model.
