Why are we still tipping, this culture has roots in racism, it was primarily to not pay African Americans after ratification of 15th amendment . We rented umbrella and beach chairs for 20$/hr , the guy casually turned the iPad for tips selections, why should I tip an umbrella setup guy , boba tea , ice cream guy , food pick up , Uber guy , airport pickup driver… If the tip is what determines his wage let’s get into numbers, why should the tip be calculated based on % , the one time setup service fee should not depend on number of hours I spend under umbrella, 15% is 3$ , if he gets 3 customers per hour he can earn minimum wage, no special skills needed for able bodied person, push umbrella and 2 chairs for 20 feet, dig a hole, meanwhile Mexican workers are busting their backs with no medical insurance to pick the lettuce, cabbage for minimum wage . If people are worried about servers not making minimum wage , Can someone come up with a system to see if the wage of the worker is met with all the tips + salary , if it’s met then stop tipping, are only servers are worthy of pity but not farmer workers, dish washers, cleaners , janitors , I don’t understand the logic . #tipping #uber Tc 130k
Tipping is optional. Don’t tip if you don’t want. I just always feel bad after that, but sometimes I just don’t tip. Especially in bars where they sell overpriced drinks
You don't if you move to somewhere else than north America.
This topic comes up once every three weeks I swear. No opinion on the matter.
Tipping is a scam! The restaurant food, that Uber drive etc are already too expensive as is! Why the heck should I tip on top of that? These businesses are ripping customers with high prices - they should be the ones paying their employees/contractors. Why should the customer be obligated to pay a tip?
Looking at value of minimum wage to inflation, I get a different perspective. But our stock RSUs are in a bubble so we don’t have to worry about it.
So don’t?
Everyone wants a damn tip these days. I hate those payment apps, they try to guilt trip you into tipping. And they always set the minimum at 22% for something like kayak rental where I have to carry it myself, or self served yogurt shops lmao.
Lool I don't even think 22% is a joke. I've definitely seen 20% as the minimum. Like ... All you did was ring some shit up for me. No you don't get a tip, and you sure don't deserve a fifth of my total expenditure.
I didn't pull that number out of my a$$. It's getting ridiculous out here. Started with 15% minimum, now they figured out they could earn more because no one wants to look like a cheapass clicking on Custom Tip, especially if there's a line behind you.
Everything you buy/use has someone worked on it, where do you draw the line? Do you tip cashiers? How about shelves stockers? Janitors who clean up after you?
Why don’t you tip a pharmacist then
I get not wanting to tip at a self-service place (wtf), but how do y’all feel about tipping restaurant servers?
If they are serving you then yes, if you go pick up your food and they just take your order at the counter then no
I’m not tipping only the service, I’m also tipping the food preparation. So I suppose it’s 10%/10% on food prep/service, and that’s why I tip “only” 10% for takeout
Who tips for food pickup? It's only delivery and dine in when u tip
I tip 10% for food pickup. The tips are split between the staff anyway, so just because there’s no server doesn’t mean the cooks and such are less deserving.

We never question the companies that don’t pay enough to some of these category of workers. If we do that, we might not have to tip. But guess we might eat that as a cost passed on to consumer?
Let them pass the price on. Then we can decide to eat there or not.
