Sick of ‘tip creep’? 5 times it’s OK not to tip, according to etiquette experts

7 comments

1. The owner of the business who refuses to pay a living wage is taking money out of their pocket. Not me.

2. I’m done tipping for subpar service. Pay a living wage or fuck off. It’s not my job to pay your employees

   downvote me all you want, your boss is the problem, not me.

3. Got to be an American problem, I never tip. The food and drinks cover the wages.

4. Etiquette expert?

5. If you don’t provide a service I’m not tipping

6. The biggest difference is state by state minimum wage for tipped vs non-tipped employees. Food service workers in lots of states are making $15 base PLUS tips. Same job in Delaware paying $2.23 pays $16.28 in Washington. I feel differently tipping people that make 8x less.

7. I was at Peet’s Coffee at Denver airport today and at the counter, a coffee and croissant was $8. The screen gave me 3 different tipping suggestions including “Other” which I selected and chose $0.

   That’s total BS.
