Topic: I don’t always tip 20% anymore at restaurants.

If you have a fee to cover a living wage then I’m already paying that. 10% covers this Euro-style arrangement. You also remove tax from the total and drinks. Just $1 per drink rather than tipping on inflated alcohol costs and taxes that have nothing to do with meal or service.

I used to tip a lot like to the point where waiters would come up to me to thank me personally. Things have gotten more expensive though and I've also just realized it's a waste of money because you're helping perpetuate a system in which people don't get paid fairly. So I don't really tip much anymore but I know it's all around a controversial subject and some people get mad so really I've just stopped going to places and engaging with services that expect tips. Like I haven't been to a sit down restaurant in quite some time. Cooking at home is more rewarding anyway

I knew when the slider started at 25% that things were out of hand. I'm back to 18% for good, 19% for great, and 14.9% to insult for bad service.

Why do servers think they deserve 20% commission for putting plates down?

Not with a “living wage.” Restaurants are just one more shitty industry intent on offloading their overhead on patrons.

> They should lay off most of the servers and have the busser bring the food.
Or turn every restaurant into a cafeteria.
