15% is standard for a sit down place, 18% if service is beyond expectations.
0% is for everything else, I’m not tipping because you did your job and pointed your iPad in my general direction.
If I want to tip and the minimum default option is anything over 20%, congrats, you get 0%.
When a restaurants delegates its managerial responsibilities to the customer, through the tipping system, it’s just part of the American experience of being a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. The tipping system gives plebs a chance to lord over someone else, the same way they get lorded over, and they fucking love it.
It’s the classic story of the corporation fucking the husband, the husband beating the wife, the wife hitting the kid, and the kid kicking the dog.
Just take a look at how restaurants are run in Europe and Asia, tipping there is either very low or non-existent.
Some cultures even consider tipping to be a bribe or even an insult.
Wonder what would happen if we all stopped tipping?
For me the tipping point (no pun intended) was the stupid ass touchless POS devices. At first I actually did tip for buying a t-shirt, but once I realized how retarded I was being and got over the fear of shame from not tipping, there was no turning back. Now I don’t even tip at restaurants. Thanks for changing consumer behavior, capitalism.
Yeah I’m not tipping anymore either IDGAF. It’s getting ridiculous. 100 bucks for a family of four to go have dinner at a mediocre restaurant.
Given how awfully high the original menu prices are, 15% is too much. We also have to pay taxes, for that matter.
Tipping is nothing but a subsidy of restaurant owners, allowing them to underpay staff.
End it.
If you live (or are traveling in the US) and you go out to eat at a sit down restaurant you have in effect entered a social contract to abide by the rules of the game. Those rules are that you tip. You can pathetically try to justify your cheapness in whatever twisted pretzel logic way you want, but it doesn’t change the fact you are stiffing the person waiting on you who has to pay taxes on what was that expected tip.
If you refuse to tip, you’re gross, other people think you’re cheap and gross and if you go back to that restaurant with any frequency you’re eating spit or worse. Bon Appetit
