      David can you stop putting pointless arrows in your thumbnails? Why did you start following that trend? That's something that teenage UA-camrs do when they're posting clickbait videos to make it seem interesting 🤔 Especially since they're in photos that contain only one person, it really makes no sense...

    I used to deliver pizzas for Pizza Hut a long time ago. They changed the customer a $2.50 delivery charge but only gave us $0.67 of that, which encouraged the customer to tip less since they assumed that we actually got the delivery charge. Whenever they asked me if we got that, and I told them we only got $0.67, they would always give me a higher tip and be disappointed with the company for their deceptive fees.

      I don't like that it is jobs, besides those that are providing the service to the tipper, being dependent on their paychecks being lower than minimum wage. Pooling tips is a shame as well and just gives the owner a pass on low wages. I despise that we have tipping anyway in general. I worked as a food server in my early working years and the attitudes and entitlements of some patrons were very clear, it's a way for an average Joe to feel better even though his lot in life sucks just as much. Don't get me wrong, I made some decent money but I never had to split my tips and that was a very different time, for the base wage not to have changed since I was a server 20+ years ago is disgusting. Even retail customers act this way and that's not even a "service" providing job. Two jobs that have made me just want to keep away from people in general.

    Im not saying that I wont tip. I will tip people if they go out if their way to give me an outstanding experience that will be hard to feel anywhere else.

The owners are not going to care if you tip their employees or not. What they care about is that you buy the food or drinks and that’s it. If you go to an establishment and not tip the employees, then the only ones that get hurt are the employees , which is counterintuitive because those are the ones we’re supposed to be trying to help.

I personally think that this unbalance is due to legal corruption in our government called Lobbying. On another note, I'd like to consider your statement. Not everyone at a Denny's can be a middle manager. Lets assume they are...then there would be little demand for middle managers and high demand for crew and staff members. If the company cannot hire enough, they will raise the wages of the crew and staff in order to get more. This is exactly what happened to some trades. Most dramatically, plumbing. Very low supply, with increased demand as population rises...So, understandably, not all jobs a person wants will pay well, but there are jobs that do pay well.

When you're paying for something, the tax is already included. If I have to pay for something $12,50, you just pay it. If you get a price of $10 and then someone at the counter tells you, you also need to fork out another $2,50 to those greedy D.C. bureaucrats, then I can see why some people will hate the idea of taxes.

If a car went through full service, we’d run out and ask what type of gas they’d want, we’d also ask “Can I check under the hood mam or sir”? We’d also check their tires as well. It was a minimum wage job, but the perks were great. We’d get to wrench on our cars after the garage closed at 6pm, and we got our oil for free and a discount on our gas.

      That's fine but you also shouldn't go out for frivolous experiences. Tipping is as required as going out.

      If you go into a sit down restaurant and expect service, then you should tip...do you really expect someone to wait on you for free?

    We don't have a tipping culture in Australia. The minimum wage is $23 an hour and goes up each year. Most employers pay more than the minimum wage. All employers must also pay an extra 10% of your wage into your superannuation (pension) account. And we have universal health care, 4-5 weeks paid annual leave with a 17% loading, and paid extra for working on weekends and public holidays. I thought America was the richest country in the world?

    transparency would be amazing, i was a server and bartender in Pennsylvania we got $2.83 an hour, a guest came in with a friend who was from Ohio. The one guest was trying to tell her friend that we got paid less than $3/hr in PA and her friend didn’t believe her so they just asked me up front. It’s so frustrating because people are getting annoyed by these tip jars, and I totally get it, but there are also people who literally can barely pay the taxes on their wages without the tips.

    I worked for a place where they started asking for tips at the register with their new point of sales system. We asked what was going to happen to those tips and the owner said "well, those tips are going towards us buying this building..." Every one of us made sure to tell customers who walked in that we don't get tips.

    Was at LAX a few days ago (LA airport) and a 2 restaurants were adding 20% tip to the bill if you sat down. We chose to not sit down. It felt so abusive. What if the service is horrible? And 20% on already substantially over-priced airport food. I gladly give 15% or more to good servers, 20% (in cash) to the hard working coffee shop serves, but forcing a party of 2 to pay basically 10$ or more for 1 appetizer and 2 drunks Pulleze. Pay the workers a fair wage!

    Always found it odd coming from the UK. Worked in a motel here in the UK, casual work. Got called to reception to take the bags of two American ladies to their room. So I did and left. Later got called back to reception. The old ladies wondered where I'd gone as they turned to give me a tip and I'd already left. I said thanks. They didn't realise we don't tip in the UK, I was just doing my job.

    I went into a Subway, and ordered a very basic simple cold sandwich and when i used my card to pay the screen came up with a tip scale beginning at 15% and going up (don't remember how much) and an option to pay something else. I was told the payment would not be taken until i picked a tip amount. I picked the least i could get away with because the person making the sandwich was surly because i wanted more lettuce and spinach on my sandwich, but going back and ordering again is not going to happen. I am retired and i don't have the funds to tip, much less a person who has been rude.

    I'm old enuf to remember when 10% was a generous tip so I rarely go out to eat anymore because 15% is on the low end now. By the time tips and taxes are applied, the actual cost of a meal out is significantly higher than the price on the menu.

  • @awb19892
    @awb19892 Місяць тому +2

    the whole thing is a bs guilt-trip, sorry. as a customer, I have no interest in knowing how much the person makes and calculating whether I "should" tip. I don't tip for take-out, I stopped getting doordash. when places put automatic 18% gratuity, I don't tip on top of that. I normally tip 20% at restaurants (but on pre-tax amount). the whole thing is completely out of control. a concert venue selling me a $43 t-shirt wanted a tip. Self-checkout machines at airports are now asking for tips. The result will be smaller companies go out of business as people eat out less, bigger companies still survive on the wealthier consumers.
    on the other hand, $21/hour is not a living wage. That'd qualify you for $1200 rent ... which puts you in the roommate category pretty much anywhere in the country.

    If I am considering tipping, I ask the person behind the counter how the tipping works. Do they get it, does it go to a pool with the other workers? There is a small business in the ground floor of the office I work at, I was getting lunch and asked the worker/cook who was checking me out if they received the tips from the tip line on the receipt, and they said "no, those tips were kept by the owner" and then pointed to a tip jar with cash in it and said, "we get to keep those".

    If the tip is going through the machine, I don't believe the server gets it all, the tax man and the owner are going to take a piece. In self-serve situations, I am the server and getting paid nothing for it, so the tip goes to me.

    I used to live in Belgium where a living wage is the standard and tipping is NOT a custom (I think it's similar in most western Euro countries). I'll never forget the time one of my friends left a tip on the table at a cafe we visited for lunch. The server literally chased us out of the place "Hey guys, you forgot your money on the table!!". Too funny :)

  • @booskie4316

    Tipping is the customer subsidizing the owner's wages. The owners of businesses should pay their staff and the customer should pay for goods and services. The customers paying for services as well as the employee's wages is moronic.

    My first job was as waitstaff at a private country club. It was also a no-tipping establishment and all the staff got a fair wage. One bonus for that is I got paid the same amount if I was on the floor serving customers as when I was setting up for a banquet or private function. I was paid the same amount while doing sidework as I was when serving tables. It just made sense and allowed all of us to have more flexible working tasks.

    My wife and I are from Central Europe and when we came to the States we did not understand how gratuity (tips) worked. It was new to us for the fact that we don't have to pay additional for service. We felt awful when we realized how little the service staff makes to take care of so many people

    There is a bar near me which tried paying a living wage and discouraging tipping. They couldn't keep employees because the bartenders were not making as much money as they did with the server's wage plus tips.
    I think changing tipping culture in US restaurants would be as difficult as getting the US to switch to the metric system.

And now i just totally hate leaving one i feel like making it NO TIP everytime because it seems the younger generation seem to think its MONEY FOR NOTHING

    Tipping began for women who were not allowed to collect a wage. Customers should not pay for the server’s wages, the employer should pay at least minimum wage. This will create the clarity we need regarding tipping in America.
