I despise 20%. I tolerated 10, maybe 15, but when it became 20 as the baseline with 30 now looming on the horizen, I am about to just say get bent.
The prices have gone up, so the tips have gone up. Why did they make the leap to 20%? Basically its like adding another person to the table.
Now I know people will say they should be paid a living wage, but from every server I know they absolutely do not want that. They want the tips, it pays better.
I don’t know what the solution is. The people who make real money make far beyond that, and there is no doubt the cost of living is through the roof. I cant fault someone for wanting to get a little more, but I am just not going to keep shelling out 20% more on top of dinner that already is 2 people for $150 before tip.
It has been 20 for like 20 years. Anything else is foolish. Any argument for 30 that involves “inflation” is stupid and doesn’t understand how percents work. Like 20 or not, that’s the norm. If you don’t like paying it then either don’t go out or go places that are cheaper so it’s less.
Naw fuck that. They get tipped what they earned. If it’s 5$. If it’s 30$. It in the rare case, 0. You don’t deserve a tip unless you provide the service to go with it. If I see you once or twice, and I have dirty dishes and have to call over another wait staff to refill drinks. Get fucked.
Yeah, it’s like if you aren’t prepared to tip the standard tip, you shouldn’t go out. If people want to argue that bad service deserves less and good service deserves more, that’s fine, but if you aren’t even ready to consider that you’ll likely need to pay 20% then just don’t go.
Seriously, it isn’t that hard. There’s plenty of lesser quality but still very good chains to choose from in the Five Guys tier if you don’t want to tip.
Hell, guess what I do when I don’t want to tip, I go to one of those lol, it’s not like I don’t practice what I preach here!
Once in a great while. Is not often I get someone so bad at their job they don’t deserve at least a little. It’s hilarious that dumb fucks here downvote me for saying tipping is a service based monetary gift.
Nobody ever said it was anything else, it’s just weird that the first thing someone would say in response to what percentage tip is appropriate to say you give nothing. It makes it sound like that’s a very frequent occurrence for you.

The only person I to 30% is my hair stylist, and that’s because she hasn’t raised my price in almost 20 years.
Does this lead to the situation in which waiters in an expensive restaurant earn significantly more than ones working in cheaper ones?
Do waiters try to get jobs in more expensive places to earn more from tips?
Yes, and yes.
I plaid 20 during COVID to show gratitude for places being open and practicing good protocols. Now I’m back to 15 unless service is extraordinary.

How often are you giving nothing?
(From the service they claim to get, I’d bet regularly and at the same restaurants that remember their no-tipping ass and want them to not come back.)

That’s the thing. 20% isn’t appropriate. It’s whatever the person has earned. That’s what’s appropriate.
If that’s your mentality then I feel you’re chronically under tipping.
That’s an idiotic take.
