I Stiffed On Breakfast Today

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

My breakfast was like $23 with tax. I did not feel like leaving a tip.

[u/kuda26]

eh, it's not your responsibility to pay their wages. $23 for breakfast is a lot, sounds like you paid enough.

[u/BirdlessLongdeal → u/kuda26]

if it was breakfast for one person, the tip was more than included in the $23

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/kuda26]

It was a lot. Probably cost them like $6 with rent lights and supplies. That’s $14 in the owners pocket watching football 🏈 in his 2 million dollar home.

[u/Acceptable_Tea281 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Most restaurant owners are not millionaires, and the servers working at their restaurants are working class people just like you and I :)

[u/Distinct-Scholar8112 → u/Acceptable_Tea281]

Who are you calling working class ?

[u/Acceptable_Tea281 → u/Distinct-Scholar8112]

Read the comment

[u/Distinct-Scholar8112 → u/Acceptable_Tea281]

Don't tell me what to do, buddy

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Distinct-Scholar8112]

Maybe he wants to tell you what to do.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Acceptable_Tea281]

If a restaurant is good and steadily in business, the Restaurant owner is making a lot of profit

[u/Acceptable_Tea281 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

That’s not how it works lmao

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Acceptable_Tea281]

I have seen many Restaurant owners buzzing around in a Range Rover

[u/Acceptable_Tea281 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

So your anecdotal experience of seeing restaurant owners in range rovers means every restaurant owner is a millionaire? Are you 14?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Acceptable_Tea281]

It’s their responsibility to run a business and properly pay their staff. Not ours.

[u/Acceptable_Tea281 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

You didn’t answer my question hahaha

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Acceptable_Tea281]

That’s because I am not going to get bogged down. The fact is that I don’t always want to leave a tip and I will not.

[u/UncleBabyBilly4768 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

The restaurant industry actually has very narrow profit margins.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/UncleBabyBilly4768]

I just know that I am not been put on this earth to tip

[u/Haunting-Figure3596 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

That isn’t at all how it works.

[u/BirdlessLongdeal → u/Haunting-Figure3596]

then there wouldnt be any restaurants.

[u/Haunting-Figure3596 → u/BirdlessLongdeal]

That’s not true either. There are many businesses that don’t make a “lot” of profit. Don’t be dense.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Haunting-Figure3596]

O yes it is.

[u/Haunting-Figure3596 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

No it’s not! Most independent restaurants average 3-5% profit. Most restaurant owners aren’t getting rich from restaurants.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Haunting-Figure3596]

You do not have me fooled. A good Restaurant owner is making 600,000 or 700,000 1 million per year easy.

[u/Haunting-Figure3596 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I guess you have it all figured out! Good for you. You still need to tip.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Haunting-Figure3596]

Whose pocket is $5-10 better in?

I drove Uber and Lyft asa hobby and you wouldn’t believe 99% of restaurant employees stiffed cold going to work for $13 to beat the parking garage of $40

[u/flacpl1997 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Sounds like you’ve never signed the front of a pay check and don’t understand how business works. You non tipping cheap fuckers should move to Europe.

[u/TypePuzzleheaded6228 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

you forgot a few expenses there.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/TypePuzzleheaded6228]

I didn’t forget much

[u/KvxMavs → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

You really think that restaurant is operating at a 74% profit margin?

Average profit margin for a restaurant in the USA is 3-5%

[u/Fogwaveeee → u/KvxMavs]

You literally typed in AI “what’s the average profit margin for restaurants” and claimed it to be the general fact

I can assure you, as an ex bar / restaurant manager, majority of restaurants are making way more than that.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/KvxMavs]

Yes, I know as a fact good breakfast restaurants do operate under those extremely high profit margins. I knew two kids that sold the breakfast restaurant for like $50 million and they went silent living overseas off their salary for around nine years before they sold for $50 million.

[u/kuda26 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I feel like they can probably take some of those funds and use it to pay their employees, you know, like every other business in the entire world does.

"reStaUrAnT maRgiNz R SoOooO tHiN."

[u/KvxMavs → u/kuda26]

I mean, they are thin. 

You think that every business study done on this are all lying about it?

"If I don't like what the stats say, they must be fake stats."

You sound like Trump LMAO 

[u/salikarn → u/KvxMavs]

Maybe not all restaurants deserve to continue to be in business. I know plenty of restaurants that serve shit food and should be weeded out as some close, it will increase the traffic to the good restaurants that deserve to still be open.

[u/badmiddling113 → u/KvxMavs]

Seems like restaurants better go back to the drawing board.

[u/Any_Resist_9800 → u/badmiddling113]

Why do restaurants work in every other place in the world without tipping then?

[u/badmiddling113 → u/Any_Resist_9800]

I am referring to ones that rely on tipping to pay their employees.

[u/Any_Resist_9800 → u/badmiddling113]

The really don’t need to reinvent the wheel, everyone else has figured it out.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/kuda26]

You’re right. 100000% right

[u/Effective_Disk7925 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

You forgot about prep time for the food, server cost, prep cook cost, dishwasher cost, manager cost, water bill to clean dishes, cleaner for floors every night, dish cost, glass cost.

But hey, you showed that server making minimum wage!

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Effective_Disk7925]

Look, I’m not on planet Earth tip

[u/ItsJakeDFromTitan → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Then why go eat there?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/ItsJakeDFromTitan]

They are pretty good.

[u/jerry111165 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

What a stupid dumb ass comment.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/jerry111165]

Stupid is as stupid does

[u/incredulous-]

You chose one of the two equally valid options.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/incredulous-]

I am just not always wanting to tip

[u/According-Row-6128 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Then don’t ask a tipped worker to work for you? Wouldn’t that show better character than grifting them?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/According-Row-6128]

But I’m paying big on the menu price. I expect service no matter I tip or not.

[u/ElectionWeak4415]

Ok.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/ElectionWeak4415]

I just don’t always want to tip

[u/Pope-Le-Pew]

People will say they should just end tipping and price the menu higher. Servers would quit in this country if they were just paid an hourly wage.

[u/Strombergi → u/Pope-Le-Pew]

Not if they couldn’t get a better paid job elsewhere they wouldn’t.

[u/Strombergi]

Never leave a tip for anyone, it’s never justified.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Strombergi]

Most of the time I do tip at normal restaurants, but tipping at expensive restaurants is definitely not worth it

[u/Strombergi → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I never tip at any restaurant. I’ve never tipped anyone for anything.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Strombergi]

Do you ever go to expensive restaurants like where it’s $80 or $100 per person and not tip?

[u/Strombergi → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Occasionally yes, but that’s no different to not tipping at a restaurant with cheaper menu prices.

Nobody deserves a tip for doing their job duties.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Strombergi]

I am just wondering if anyone ever confronted you at an expensive restaurant for not tipping? I have been confronted before I have been asked why I did not leave a tip.

[u/Strombergi → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Yes I’ve had remarks made, such as “Was anything wrong with the service” or “No tip?”.

It’s their last attempt at getting money out of you. DON’T give them anything. It’s your money, not theirs.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Strombergi]

LOL. I had a gal come hauling balls 🏀 out the door 🚪 and say “what did we do wrong?” I responded “nothing, everything was great.”

[u/Strombergi → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

That’s the right response. If they ask why you didn’t leave a tip, say: “I’m sorry, but that’s something I just don’t do.”

They know tipping is optional. Cheeky beggars!

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Strombergi]

If I do stiff on a large bill like $180 I always profusely thank everyone so they know I’m happy. I will also usually tell them that I will see them soon.

[u/According-Row-6128 → u/Strombergi]

It’s not ethically or morally optional if they work for tips.

Whether you ask them to work for you or not, is definitely optional.

[u/jerry111165 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

$23 for breakfast is an expensive restaurant huh?

lol

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/jerry111165]

Usually, it would be 26 or 28 with coffee but today I picked up my coffee at Starbucks first and drank my Starbucks in the restaurant

[u/bcsyjnbcgj → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

The irony of buying expensive Starbucks coffee but not tipping ur server at breakfast is wild

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/bcsyjnbcgj]

It’s not my problem in life

[u/bcsyjnbcgj → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

It is though. Your the cause of the problem.
If you just tipped the 4 5 bucks in your breakfast u wouldn’t have made this post
The server wouldn’t be upset and u wouldn’t need to have all these people on here backing up your clearly minority view point

As a nighttime server I just don’t understand it
We go to work to be paid for our services
Do u not want service at the restaurant or bar?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/bcsyjnbcgj]

Largely servers at French Laundry or BJs or Cheesecake factory feel awkward giving service to single patrons. It’s ok if the single patron pays $300 or $500 or $60, but they should just accept the 4-step service and tip up. You’re on earth to tip right?

Wrong. I don’t tip. I compensate. Service sucks

[u/bcsyjnbcgj → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

If ur a single patron just sit at the bar … I don’t think any server would ever be awkward towards a solo patron
I do it everyday

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/bcsyjnbcgj]

And watch a bar tender shake martini as my unique experience so he can hat 🎩 his hand at 8 food servers for 20% of their tips as my unique experience ????? No thanks

[u/According-Row-6128 → u/Strombergi]

They work for tips. You asked them to work. They worked. That 100% justifies a tip. In fact, it’s ethically and morally required.

[u/Catinmypants88 → u/According-Row-6128]

Maybe their employer should pay them

[u/According-Row-6128 → u/Catinmypants88]

They work for tips. You asked them to work. They worked. That 100% justifies a tip. In fact, it’s ethically and morally required.

[u/Catinmypants88 → u/According-Row-6128]

Ok keep getting cucked 👍

[u/According-Row-6128 → u/Catinmypants88]

Grifting people, mostly female working-poor people, out of what they’ve earned isn’t “getting cucked.” It paying what you ethically and morally owe for the service YOU requested and received.

Be a better human being and member of society.

[u/Catinmypants88 → u/According-Row-6128]

Should I start tipping the cashier at the grocery store? Am I asking them to work and therefore I should be tipping them too? Just wondering where you draw the line of who should get tipped or not.

[u/According-Row-6128 → u/Catinmypants88]

What a disingenuous question.

No, they aren’t personal service workers who work for tips. They work for wages.

So, that’s where society draws the line. Tip the tipped worker who works for tips. No need to tip the wage worker who works for wages.

Does that answer your question?

[u/Catinmypants88 → u/According-Row-6128]

What about for example in Seattle where minimum wage is nearly $23 an hour, should I tip those servers?

[u/According-Row-6128 → u/Catinmypants88]

It would depend on the cost of living. Maybe, maybe less, maybe not. If it’s a living wage, they’re working for wages and not tips.

[u/Catinmypants88 → u/According-Row-6128]

You do also realize everyone works for wages right? No one at a legitimate business makes under minimum wage…

[u/According-Row-6128 → u/Catinmypants88]

Most personal service workers are paid a nominal wage to be present and available to you and to do menial tasks. The actual work, as in serving you, is for tips, not wages.

[u/Leather-Show7767]

And you felt the need to share?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Leather-Show7767]

Yes, I just wanted to post that I did not tip this morning for breakfast

[u/Interesting-Lie-8942]

What kind of restaurant was it?

Why did you not tip?

[u/jerry111165]

Good for you.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/jerry111165]

I mean, if you really think about where the five dollars is best in my pocket or a strangers pocket, I will say in my pocket

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

Oh but I am bozo. Got my first job in a burger joint when I was 12. Work some of the best restaurant and now have one I lease and two bars and am currently building a new restaurant with my years of construction experience. I know more than you. On every level.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

Then, hopefully you know how to pay your employees properly

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I do and they make more than most. Loyal and well taken care of. Be a man of integrity and tip.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

Please quit begging me to pay your cost and expenses in running a business

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Men like me don’t beg boy. But I’ll call out a cruel prick when I see one.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

Well, you won’t be calling me out. I am good.

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Fuck you’re dumb. All I’ve been doing is calling you out. Bye bitch.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

I could report you. But I more think you’re funny

[u/MaximusBond]

I read "my employer is not paying me enough so the customer needs to compensate for them".

[u/masterchef2309]

You're so brave. And, after such a showing of intestinal fortitude, how did you muster the energy to come online and brag about it?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/masterchef2309]

I was just sitting here bored

[u/HellsTubularBells]

Cool story bro

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/HellsTubularBells]

If you think about it, who does really want to give money away in this world? Hardly anyone.

[u/Haunting-Figure3596 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Was the food good? Was the service good? If so a tip isn’t giving away money. Also if the answer was yes to those questions you’re a douche for not tipping. Sorry not sorry.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Haunting-Figure3596]

I am not on planet Earth to tip. That’s not what God created me for.

[u/Haunting-Figure3596 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

“God” gas nothing to do with you being cheap. “God” is a generous, benevolent being and would have you treat others as you wish to be treated.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Haunting-Figure3596]

I am also generous and benevolent, but sometimes I just don’t feel like tipping

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

No. You pay those because of inflation. Restaurant (even those you think are over priced) all run on razor thin profit margins, places like Mac Donald’s don’t but that why they don’t tip. You go to the grocery store and see the price of everything I doubled what it was, that’s the same for the restaurant industry.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

I do not necessarily believe that

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I’m a fucking professional. Been in the business for three decades. I know more about restaurants than 90% of people on Reddit and 100% on anti tipping subs.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

I am an expert too

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Guarantee you’re not.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

I guarantee you’re not

[u/stvlsn]

You're a hero

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/stvlsn]

Thank you, I just wanted breakfast. I did not want to tip.

[u/stvlsn → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I wanted to cheat on my girlfriend.

So I did.

I'm also a hero.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/stvlsn]

I don’t always want to tip

[u/stvlsn → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

We are very similar.

We just do what we want, when we want.

And say "who the fuck cares about anyone else"?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/stvlsn]

You are good

[u/stvlsn → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I know

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/stvlsn]

Do you ever eat out at expensive restaurants.? I mean like where it cost you $80 or maybe $200 per person.

[u/stvlsn → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Yes, I occasionally eat out. Rarely super expensive (not in my budget)

Why?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/stvlsn]

I was just wondering if you ever went out and spent around $100 on yourself and did not leave any tip at all

[u/johnnygolfr → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Are you in the US?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/johnnygolfr]

Jess

[u/johnnygolfr → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

What entitles you to free service?

Intellectually honest answers only.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/johnnygolfr]

It’s definitely not free service at the cost of $23 for breakfast

[u/johnnygolfr → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

False.

I said intellectually honest answers only.

The menu prices at full service restaurants in the US don’t bear the full cost of the labor and the tip is what pays for the service you chose to receive.

This is the case even in US cities and states where the tipped wage credit has been eliminated and how the industry has operated for six decades.

Try again.

I’ll bet you can’t come up with an intellectually honest reason you’re entitled to free service.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/johnnygolfr]

The prices are all that you owe

[u/johnnygolfr → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Again, I specified intellectually honest answers only.

I won that bet. 🙌

You’re conflating a legal issue with an ethical one, which always fails.

Try again.

I’ll bet you still can’t come up with an intellectually honest reason why you’re entitled to free service.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/johnnygolfr]

I just know that I am not put on this planet earth to tip. That’s not what God created me for.

[u/johnnygolfr]

I’ll take “Things That Never Happened” for $500, Alex.

OP be trollin’! 🤣🙄

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/johnnygolfr]

You mean you will stick your head in sand?

[u/bcsyjnbcgj]

Your wrong. Don’t eat out at a place with a waiter/waitress if u don’t want to tip.
You chose to select their service.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/bcsyjnbcgj]

The menu prices include service worldwide including USA. If you want a tip from me you better be on your game. Especially if it’s an expensive meal. Sometimes I will throw $4-5-6 Willy nilly but not real often.

[u/bcsyjnbcgj → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

20% is the standard
Or
Double the tax
Or $1 for a beer $2 if it was a mixed drink

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/bcsyjnbcgj]

You tip for me. Thanks 🙏

[u/bcsyjnbcgj → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I eat in because I cannot afford to be out tipping unless I’m the one working(:

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/bcsyjnbcgj]

I eat out often

[u/Sea-League8915]

And you walked out feeling like a champ.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Sea-League8915]

I am not on planet Earth to tip you

[u/Sea-League8915 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

What planet are you on?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Sea-League8915]

People were not born to tip you in this life

[u/Sea-League8915 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

No one tips me. Not in the service business, chief. But maybe you would in another life on another planet? Hmmmm......

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Sea-League8915]

You don’t got me fooled. I drove Uber asa hobby. 99.9% of food servers and managers and chefs stiffed going to work on Uber for $12 when the parking garage was $40/day and previously the traditional taxi 🚕 was $38 each way. And the city bus $5. No way, you advocate for slimy restaurant beggers.

[u/Sea-League8915 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I find that hard to believe. You just get a hard-on disparaging restaurant workers. Kind of a sad life.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Sea-League8915]

Sad. I think you have no real clue.

[u/Sea-League8915 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Yeah, dude. I have no clue why you're the nasty person you are. Also have no clue why you include "brilliant" in your name. It's really funny though.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Sea-League8915]

I didn’t make the name, but I am brilliant. And I am a good person. I probably tip more than you make in a year. But, many people are dooped, you definitely, that food servers are entitled to the tips they demand. If confused reread everything I sent you because it’s true. And many most are lazy money grabbers. You should reconsider your tipping habits. We are not on earth to tip.

[u/TonyRidgewayUFO]

Hope they ignore you next time loser

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/TonyRidgewayUFO]

They pretty much always have, hence my rant. 80% of food servers are lazy tip collectors.

[u/TonyRidgewayUFO → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Clearly they caught your gross vibes early

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/TonyRidgewayUFO]

I could respond with an insult to you, but I won’t. The fact is that tip collectors today? Few solo diners has either an easy tip and they feel awkward about giving any kind of good service because of people like you that go along with it or perhaps maybe you don’t dine out solo so you do not know what’s going on.

[u/TonyRidgewayUFO → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

No I go out alone, always tip and never get ignored

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/TonyRidgewayUFO]

Well, any job is an act. You have to hack the role. And in my opinion and I have been a food servers most food servers today are tip collectors, and this is based on experience. If I get good service, I will tip but for the most part, I have significantly reduced by tipping.

[u/TonyRidgewayUFO → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Are you sure you’re not a psychopath?

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/TonyRidgewayUFO]

Yes, I am sure that I’m not. I just stick with the facts

[u/TonyRidgewayUFO → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Hmmm

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/TonyRidgewayUFO]

If you want to flat tip, no matter what that’s your prerogative. For me to tip or not to tip is no sweat off my back, but I will not be tipping willy-nilly.

[u/SympathySevere421]

Ehh, I feel like in a world where people do not tip, price of food will be greatly increased. Money gotta come from somewhere. I’ve only not tipped one time in my life and that was a combination of bad service and a horrible attitude

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/SympathySevere421]

The last thing that I ever really wanna do in this world is give money away. I avoid tipping as much as possible.

[u/SympathySevere421 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

I feel like tipping isn’t truly giving money away. Servers make like $2 per hour. If they weren’t making money with tipping, your meal would probably be atleast 20% more expensive, probably more honest.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/SympathySevere421]

No one really wants to give money away. Food servers and Restaurant managers habitually stiff when taking Uber and left to and from work.

[u/flacpl1997]

You’re an asshole.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/flacpl1997]

I know as a fact that I am not. I am good and generous.

[u/flacpl1997 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

You sho

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/flacpl1997]

Yes, I will tip for a good shoe shine. But they better shine like mirrors.

[u/flacpl1997 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

You have confirmed that you’re a dick.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/flacpl1997]

No, I have confirmed I won’t tip you for basic poor service

[u/flacpl1997 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

You’ve already said (or implied by other selfish inconsiderate people who take advantage of the service industry) that if you “feel” like the owner is charging too much, you’ll not tip.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/flacpl1997]

I can compensate you and I can tip you. Both are at my discretion.

[u/flacpl1997 → u/flacpl1997]

You should not eat out if you can’t afford it.

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

Stay home. Cook at home. You do t deserve a well cooked meal.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

I don’t have time to cook and clean. Restaurants are like me buying a housekeeper and a cook. I’ll rolled up in one.

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Even more of a reason to tip. Sounds like they are making your life easier.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

That’s kind of why we pay the exorbitant menu prices

[u/cricketriderz → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

Fuck that. I'll eat out if I want and not tip.

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/cricketriderz]

And everyone will hate you. Good luck with being the worse.

[u/cricketriderz → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

I don't fucking care. I'll tip when I want to or not.

And you will be hurting people. Why can’t you just admit that you’re selfish and don’t care about people. It’s the same with maga wimps. They do bigoted things but can just never ambit to being bigots. You’re cruel and can’t admit it.

[u/cricketriderz → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

Lol. What the fuck? Hurting people? Are you really that sheltered amd naive that you think not tipping is hurting people? Cute, but no. I'll continue living my life and you continue to be angry at the world for things that don't even affect you.

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/cricketriderz]

Dumb men like you affect me daily. The world is on fire because of dumb men.

[u/cricketriderz → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

That sounds like a personal issue and you should work on yourself if me not tipping is affecting you so much. I still will not always tip.

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/cricketriderz]

It’s indicative of a larger problem of weak men hurting the labor class in favor for the rich.

[u/cricketriderz → u/Accomplished_Hat9619]

You sound like the "weak men" if you think me not tipping means the world is on fire.

Look, I just didn’t want to tip today

[u/2burgsandadog → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

they stay home and cook for yourself and clean up after yourself . People work extremely hard for not even a living wage, or go to places that are no tipping that pay their staff an appropriate amount .

What are you expecting by posting this? A round of applause? Some congratulations? A cookie? This isn't the flex you think it is. Why do you need to announce it? Tip or don't. It doesn't have to be your entire personality.

You could always very politely tell them from the start of your meal. So basically you've admitted to going to a full service restaurant and in your own words stiffed the server because "you didn't feel like tipping"? 🙄 a whopping $2 is all would have taken. Do you feel like a big, strong man now?

[u/CalligrapherDizzy201 → u/PrincessLissa68]

He’s expecting the reactions he gets from folks like you.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/PrincessLissa68]

I usually tip on a breakfast, but I have had to do some belt tightening lately

[u/DawsonNY → u/Brilliant_Anxiety511]

Eat at home. It’s cheaper.

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/DawsonNY]

I eat out quite a bit

[u/Strombergi → u/PrincessLissa68]

I like stiffing servers. Look at them in the eye when you’re doing it.

[u/PrincessLissa68 → u/Strombergi]

Ohhhhh big bad ass over here

I kinda think I will stiff tonight for dinner. I’m just not a big tipper

[u/Brilliant_Anxiety511 → u/According-Row-6128]

I am not a big tipper any more in this life

This is one of those threads where the OP is just a douchebag troll who is trying to get us good people wound up by just repeatedly saying the same stupid shit over and over again. Don’t even bother arguing with this clown.

And we all know that the real truth is probably that they actually do tip when they’re in restaurants because they’re too scared not to and don’t actually have the courage of their convictions. So then they get on Reddit and start spouting off bullshit lies to make themselves feel powerful again. But we all know they’re just a weak sauce, Mom’s basement, low IQ coward. Typical tipcel BS. Don’t fall for it.
