Comment on Reservoir Dogs [1992] - I don't tip
Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 19 hours agoBecause that is the expectation in the US. The worker is giving you service under the expectation that you will give them a tip. They would not take the job otherwise.
If you stated in your comment that you start meals honestly by stating to the server that you don’t tip, I would accept your argument. But you didn’t and nobody does.
You could choose to express to the employer that they should pay their staff enough so you don’t have to tip. Then choose to not eat there if they don’t. But you didn’t state that in your comment.
Instead you choose to eat your meal and fuck over the person serving your food. Content to say the tip is optional and you don’t have to pay it. The server did their job and got shafted by you, they still have to pay 1 to 3 percent of your check total to the bussers and the bar.
You’re just making excuses to feel better about fucking someone over.

You could easily use this same logic (if you can’t afford the tip don’t eat out) the other way: if you can’t make enough in a tipping profession when someone doesn’t tip don’t work there.
Tipping is also highly biased, good looking people get more. There are racial aspects. The whole thing sucks.
I’m ok with tipping for performance, tipping as expectation is terrible. All of this is stupid anyway we should be taxing wealthy people and making the world a better place for all.
