Pay your workers better.

Fuck tipping culture.

I tip because this is the shape of the hole we are in, but it is very much not a thing most places in the world, for good reasons.

Pay your staff you neanderthals.

I thought it was optional

Not a single quote in that article alludes to restaurants or pubs fighting back.

Tip culture is awful, USA and Canadians including myself need to get over this "pay by donation after you've already paid" model. I'll do it but no one outside of here should lose sleep over it.

Tips should mainly be given for "better than expected" service. I tip taxi drivers, barbers and servers on a sliding scale between 10-30%, points for if it's on a Sunday night or holiday weekend, if they accommodated a larger group during a busy time, were especially personable or did specific things to help celebrate an occasion. Everything outside that and "pay before you get the service" model earns about $1-2 tips maximum from me.

I quit tipping unless the service is somehow extra. I don't go some places because they are dicks about it. Tipping is just another way to rip off food service workers. It shouldn't be what it is and going along with it will not help the situation.

I don't quite get this, well I do and, as usual it boils down to racism long ago.

I'm not am employee or manager of the restaurant. However, I'm expected to perform an appraisal on the spot and conclude the review by delivering an outcome in the form of a % of sales amount? Servers want to get paid but then why should I work for free? Want an appraisal, pay me.
