never been to america, but if im not personally putting it into the person's pocket and its instead the app or something asking for a tip im not paying
they made it mandatory till the world cup ends smh. Its like unavoidable
LMAO I know what mandatory means, but why is it mandatory? That should be illegal
yeah theyre automatically adding minimum 20% gratuity to our final bill
50% of restaurants include it to the receipt automatically, the other half includes the total tip calculation (18%, 20%, 22%) for customers to include in the receipt. It’s because America has this shitty tradition where they pay their servers half the minimum wage, and expect the customers tip to cover a livable wage.
idk if American food is generally cheap but it would reflect in the price of food if tipping was stopped
It's exhausting to hear people call people from the United States "Americans".
I don’t think a single Canadian or anyone in Central America would consider themselves “American”.
As someone from America who worked in restaurants for 11 years - we don't disagree. Tipping culture is dumb as can be and needs to be stopped from a governmental policy standpoint because workers sure don't have the power to change it.
i used to be an american server and i agree. its dumb af but these greedy ass corporations can't raise up the prices of their food so they pay me 2 an hour ($0 after taxes ofc)
its a fucked cycle
if you dont tip, youre a pretty bad person because a lot of these people rely on tips for a liveable wage because employers dont pay them enough knowing this
I've never met someone that actually likes tipping culture, it's a structural issue that some states have addressed but our government is definitely not going to do anything about it rn
the restaurant i work at pays me above min wage (in california) so thank god i dont really need to rely on tips, but i sure do love them
it might only be me but if u ask me to pay then I wont like it but if u wont ask then ill definitely pay haha
