Comment on "If you can't afford to tip 40%, then don't eat out"
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 day agobut I didn’t seek good service. I sought a basic level of service expected of someone doing their job.
I don’t need service good enough to justify a $20 tip when I go out for wings and two beers and take up literally five minutes of the server’s time
fuck tipping culture, pay your employees. wait staff aren’t special. you better be tipping retail associates at least 10% of your purchases, too

Pretty sure in all of Canada, or at least Ontario, everyone makes at least minimum wage. You go to Wendy’s or Boston Pizza, no one makes less than minimum. Why is it that I’m expected to tip at some but not others? Is a chip truck (where a tip is asked for) really different than McD?
My understanding is in the US, some people make $2 an hour and tips are expected. Then there’s places like Ontario where a tip is also expected. Genuinely, why?
All this “pay your workers” nonsense should be true for fast food, grocery store workers, and everyone else who makes minimum yet they’re not standing there with a tablet that “asks a few questions” every time you ask where the milk is.

They do make a really low base but are required by law to recieve at least minimum wage after tips. Some wait staff lie on their tips in order to avoid paying taxes on them, others lie because if their employer thinks they aren’t getting enough tips to cover their pay, that they must be a bad employee.
