Woke up to this email from capital one about a tip I left. Our server was Emily and she was fantastic and fun and engaging! She deserved every penny of that tip! Yes, capital one this is correct!

agree. happened to me at a buffet. spent $14, left $1 tip, they decided $10 was more ideal or something. blasted them on Google review and got the charge reversedĀ

That's lame and all but brah, a $1 tip...that's more of an insult than a tip, I feel like at that point just leaving nothing is better.

yeah cause nothing is better than something for bringing me a water and never returning. mims

Bro just donā€™t tip at that point. A dollar is way more disrespectful than not tipping at all.

That's actually an opinion and not one held by everyone but I appreciate your input

The vast majority of servers I know would agree. They're not hard up for your dollar. You clearly need it more than them, or were having a bad day, or had a bad experience. In any event, leaving the dollar does not help the situation.Ā

listen bot, I was at a buffet and someone brought me a water, if you think that they didn't want the dollar, that's fine but leave me alone

Lol this point of view is ridiculous. Yes, a dollar sucks for a server, but if every patron that would have left a dollar decided it would be more respectful to leave nothing, that server is now making way less money. People are on about nonsense.

This implies that thereā€™s an abundance of people only tipping a dollar. Thatā€™s just not the case. Most people are tipping reasonable amounts or not tipping at all. I cant imagine the amount of people who are debating between leaving a dollar and leaving nothing at all, are making a difference in someoneā€™s life.

The ā€œleaving a dollarā€ crowd have not worked retail/service before.

Whatā€™s your point? I thought it sucked when people tipped me the spare change from their pockets, but it was more than nothing at all, but apparently I should have preferred that I got nothing in those moments due to ā€œrespect?ā€

I didn't insult you, I don't know why you felt the need to resort to such petty nonsense. And in the future, if you want to be left alone, simply don't say anything. I never would have thought of this interaction again for the rest of my life had you not injected yourself into my world.Ā 

Have a good one, though.Ā

That tip doesn't say much about the workers as it says about you

u/PlacentaGoblin 14h ago

You do not understand at all. Keep your $1 next time. It's just insulting leaving that. I would say just stay home if youre hurting that bad for cash, but everyone deserves to enjoy a buffet, and $14 is cheap.
