I don't go to this store anymore, but I would go to this chain store just a little higher up than the dollar stores. They were doing a campaign for some charity, and every time a customer said they would give a dollar or two, the cashier would ring this loud bell and the crew was supposed to sing a stupid song to thank them. Talk about trying to force people to donate! When they asked me, I said, "No", and it was nice and quiet. I didn't care. I didn't need a bunch of strangers knowing that I was suckered into donating in order to get attention.

Agreed. You know, Covid was the excuse everybody used for increases in everything. Look, if we didn't frequent those businesses they wouldn't get a salary at all. We were all hit but the prices didn't go down yet tips were still expected. I don't tip extra or otherwise (don't judge, I'm less than 1% but tipping is customary not obligatory). America has gotten out of hand with tips and "would-you-like-to-donate-to-Save the whatever foundation"? at the register, or round up and donate to the whatever for whomever cause? STOP IT. Once prices start going back down to normal (now that covid has subsided to a great extend), let's get those prices back down to affordable because if they don't tips are going to be a thing of the past. It's ridiculous.

Yeah. I think all the extra fees will just make people not go out anymore. Tips make people with less money feel bad that they don't want to pay it. I am trying to save for a home, but I only make 65000 per year. Therefore, I need to save a lot for a down payment because I can't get enough of a loan ( lol 😑). I realized tips were a huge expense and try to cut them out when I go out with friends to coffee shops. However, it makes me feel bad! I'm not trying to be cheap, but i don't have a lot of money to throw at people...

Yeah, I feel the same way. I'm glad this conversation is starting. The pressure has gotten so intense that I don't enjoy going to coffee shops as much anymore. I think one of the biggest reasons tipping culture is getting this way is that the credit card companies get commission based on each sale. So if like 10,000,000 people are tipping $1 each day, it adds up to insane profits for these credit card companies. I think it's more the credit card companies pushing this out on everyone and nobody even thinks about that.

I’m in agreement with the problems with tipping. Employers need to start paying their staff a living wage. Recently I noticed Panera order takers are requesting a tip. Once your order is taken and you’ve paid up front the rest is up to you. You get your own drink, pick up your order at the counter, and clear your own table afterwards. I get to tip the person who entered my order and took my money!!! Most restaurants in my area don’t have great service, the reason is always due to the lack of staff. If the owners would pay the staff a decent wage and train their staff properly I believe more of us would go out to eat and the owners, staff, and customers would all benefit.

I’d feel more comfortable tipping based on the weight of the tray, how many plates they have to carry, & if they are polite & attentive. If my water glass is close to empty I do expect it to be refilled without having to flag someone down. I think tipping is bs, but I do it if someone earned it. I recently picked up a loaf of bread at a cafe & the iPad spun around asking for a tip. They didn’t have to bag it, just walk 10 feet to pick it up and set it in front of me. No tip, but thank you have a good day.

Electronic begging for tips is NOT "tipping culture". I am what most people would call a "generous" tipper. If a person gives me good service I will give them a generous tip. They don't have to ask and they don't have to do the math for me.

You nailed it here. It's a "bribe". Like we're gonna get bad or spitty food by not greasing a wheel. Tipping cashiers and baggers. Im not doing it anymore. I tip heavily for great service. Honestly I do. I live in the southeast US and everything here is an ipad begging for tips now. And it IS a culture. Places do it that I worked at as a kid and I certainly wasn't tipped in my time. Nor would I have expected it given the position.

You hit a cord with me on the delivery TIP‼️We ordered pizza from a family pizza restaurant and put a small tip on the card so I could give cash at delivery. The daughter brought my pizza and actually flipped it upside down ‼️. I didn’t know that until after she left,with my generous CASH tip. We were extremely pissed and never bought pizza there again.

I’m in the US and I noticed a new thing the other day. When I had to pay on one of those awkward iPads, where they have the buttons for 18%, 20%, etc, I quickly clicked the first one which is always 18%, but just as I hit OK, I noticed the first button was 20%!! What a scam! They are counting on you being stressed and hurrying so you don’t even notice. And it’s too late to change after you hit OK And don’t even get me started on the fact that the “custom amount” button is super small and hard to find. Again, counting on you not paying attention

I recall when tipping was a gesture of appreciation for exceptional service; however, in today's landscape, it seems like tipping has become ubiquitous. I recently came across a video where someone purchased a simple PB&J from a store, went through self-checkout, and still felt compelled to tip. The question arises: why should one tip for a transaction they essentially handled entirely on their own? It reflects a shift from rewarding exceptional service to what appears as an expectation. It's indicative of a broader issue - companies relying on customer tips rather than providing adequate wages to their employees. This shift, fueled by what some may perceive as corporate greed, raises concerns about fair compensation and the extent to which businesses pass their labor costs onto the public.

This is why I don't eat out much, tired of all this tipping nonsense and I will pay in cash when I do. You are correct Nicole, most European and Asian countries find it an insult if you do tip. However when I had been stationed in Korea I found out if you tip the service improves greatly(Typically service had great to begin with) and they remember you so next time you visit you get the best seats and food in the restaurant. Unlike the USA when you tip service doesn't improve sometimes it gets worse. If I do pay by credit card at a restaurant, I will select "no tip" than hand the waitress/waiter a cash tip.

I live in the US. It used to be that wait staff made a small amount of money per hour. Around $3.00 per hour. In the 90's they started getting taxed on the amount of the sales they made. They got tipped 8% on the sales. So if they got shorted there tip they still had to pay tax on that. This has all started to change. The business is being required to pay at least minimum wage. I am really tired of being expected to pay a tip every where I go. I tend to not go out much . I agree with every thing you said!

I completely agree. Here in Europe, no tipping is compulsory. If you think you have been well served, you leave something, if you want. When I was young, I did this job, and I remember being able to live on tips. So it's a good plan to do this job. You can make almost two salaries and declare only one. I don't know the cost of living in Canada, but it seems correct 15$50 per hour.

💯 I live in California where wait service is paid minimum wage of 15.50. I have come to realize that I’ve been suckered into “emotional blackmail”. I’ve reduced my patronage to restaurants due to the select a tip %. I’ve been a great tipper in the past because I’m of an age when I remember when wait staff were paid less than $2. However, I’m rethinking tips. I’m now thinking if I do tip it should be based on quality of service and a dollar amount per person at my table. I was in a sandwich shop recently and saw the ladies hustling to make the sandwiches with a great attitude and I did tip because they weren’t just serving but preparing, same for a coffee shop. I think a dollar per drink is adequate whether it’s a small or large cup it shouldn’t matter.

Now that a lot of food and retail services are having the consumer take care of their own transaction at a kiosk I wonder how this will also evolve things. You have to always check your receipt because the restaurant sneaks other charges in there and will say it is some kind of government charge. I've also noticed that a lot of wall tags are priced differently than the price you receive at the register. They are so sneaky! We are getting nickled and dimed everywhere with the intention that we won't care or notice but it adds up a lot.

After that, I felt so guilty because I saw that they were asking for 18% or more and five dollars wasn't even close to the options. This is a sick world that asks for tips for things that are super expensive and the employees are paid well enough to not have to worry about tips.

@Less_Or_More_Rika 10 місяців тому
From my European point of view it is still considered a good gesture to leave a tip if you liked the food and/or service especially since many European countries have very low minimum wages unfortunately but it’s definitely less expected and the unspoken rule is 10%. Also the tip money often will be shared with the kitchen staff too and will serve as a feedback for the work

@@SuperMachead1 I mean they earn a minimum wage if it wasn’t for the customer tips. Same as in America. So it’s no different, really.

When we visited Florida in 2021 we were shocked about how often you need to tip- we expected to at table service but not for Ubers, quick service restaurant, etc. We had a money off voucher for a particular restaurant, when I mentioned it to the server his attitude changed as he assumed he’d get a lower tip. We tipped him based on the meal before the money off voucher as we were told Brits are known for bad tipping so felt pressured to prove we weren’t miserly. However we did find it crazy how we had to tip so much

I grew up in restaurants. My Mom had a cafe, my sister had a cafe and so did my grandmother. As an adult I was a server for about 15 years and I'm on the West coast where minimum wage is $15/hour. It does seem like alot I agree, when it is broken down though it's not as great. Servers and bartenders are taxed on their sales. Mostly about 18%. So if the bill is $100 and the tip is $10, then th server is literally paying the other $8 out of their paycheck. When I was a server my paycheck was almost never above $350 for 2 weeks 80 hours. Also many times bartenders end up owing the company because of taxes. The whole system is screwed up

I live in the UK and the tipping culture isn't as ingrained as North America but one of the key issues (and people do stress about it) is who to tip. Restaurants - easy - you are accustomed to tipping but what about Pizza delivery? Some tip, some don't. Home grocery delivery? Another minefield. Do you tip after each delivery (even though the supermarket levies a charge for delivery) - opinion completely divided on this. We don't need this stress - it's more of an issue, to me anyway, than the money.
@neobailey 3 місяці тому
I was at a sit down casual restaurant and I was there just for dessert (I got a slice of pie and a coffee at most costing $10) and when I got the bill, I was really surprised at the total something like $15. At the bottom of the receipt, it stated that $5 dollars was added as a tip and it would be pooled for all the waitstaff. As a former employee of the restaurant industry, I was appalled. I looked at the menu and in small print, that $5 add on was stated there also. So this restaurant not only wanted me to tip the server, but to tip the rest of the staff. I did not tip and I did not go back. I wonder how many other people realize this was going on.
