what am i tipping for?

>>19345881
to insure prompt service

I don't because I'm not amerifat and the staff in my cunt get paid like employees of any business

>>19345875
>when i don't have to pay my employee a living wage

for me it's less than 20%

>>19345875
my mom told me she went to a thai restaurant that refused any tips below 25%. it's just a hidden extra fee now.

>>19345875
Local restaurant? If I’m being waited on and they’re nice I’ll leave them a few bucks as a thank you.

If it’s just some fast food place that added ‘add a tip’ on the card reader? Fucking nothing. Tipping cashiers is ridiculous.

A 40% tip is absolutely ridiculous.

Just seeing that sign would make me not leave a tip at all. That's just pathetic

>>19345885
pretty sure insurance isn't paid by tips

>>19345898
to... assure prompt service?

>>19345875
0%

>>19345881
Tipping is the spirit of capitalism. Socialism breeds selfishness and not wanting to do things for others, it switches a persons mindset from society is my responsibility to I am society’s responsibility.

Look them in the eye when you press no to show dominance.

>>19345912

Nothing. Our minimum wage is 16€ and inflation adjusted. Meaning wages go up automatically as life becomes more expensive. Life is good.

I work 2nd shift, it's pretty slow, so I get to talk to customers. Just started at this store, moved from another location. Guy tells me I'm the best server he's had here and tipped 10 on 12. Goes on to say that all the girls are gossipy and would rather talk to each other, and put on their fake service voice when checking on him.
just be yourself, it all evens out. i'm regular nice to blacks who come in every day and never tip, and i'm regular nice to the people who come in once in a while but tip well.
granted they see me actually working, with other customers, doing dishes, helping out my cook, prepping food, not standing around with my phone.

>>19346106
minimum wage eurobros... we fucking made it

>>19345875
>How much do you tip
The standard was once 15%, but the day Frank Sinatra died, it went up to 20%.
OP's pic is absurd.

I rarely eat out at restaurants excluding fast food. I don't have a feel for the tipping culture.

>>19345875
So, if I tip <20% do I get a free cute and funny robot with my lunch?

>>19345894
>Tipping cashiers is ridiculous
As far as I know, nobody does.

I never tip because in the USA employers are required to make up the difference so they are paid at least minimum wage.

>>19345875
UUOOOHHH $0 TIPS EROTIC ToT

>>19345875
I never tip in America.

Tipping seems like a scam. I mean, why don't they just charge more for the food so they can pay their employees more money?
In fact, prices have more than doubled since the scamdemic, and they STILL want us to tip.

>>19346181
So what? Just don't tip retard.

>>19346181
>Tipping seems like a scam
It is.

>>19346181
>why don't they just charge more for the food so they can pay their employees more money?
that's very anti-semitic

>>19345875
Fuck tipping.
I get take out to avoid this.

>>19346106
I should really save this response in my pasta.txt file.

I have no idea how this came to be a part of American culture, and it does seem kind of silly.
But American-style tipping does give the customer a huge veto power over a big chunk of a server's pay.
It almost never comes to that, but if I'm VERY dissatisfied, I can withhold a significant portion of the server's pay. It's honestly never come up for me in all my life, but if it ever does, I don't have to beg a manger to withhold some part of a server's pay.
"b-b-but why am I paying extra??!??"
You're not. Under the Euro system, you're essentially tipping 20+% whether you like it or not.
Such wow, so great.
Learn to economics and basic math, Sven.

>>19345891
>Refuse tips below 25%
Just don't tip then

>>19345875
Where I live in America there are very few chains. Just locally owned businesses.

>>19346152
Except that doesn't actually happen in reality.
Look up "wage theft", the highest dollar form of theft in the US.

Go back to your containment board (/pol/).

go back

Gotta ask: where is this?

Good thing euros aren't used to moving out until they get arranged married in their 30s otherwise that would be a problem

Do you guys realize that the jobs that need tipping are for low IQ poorfags? They NEED an incentive to be nice. This is why America is the best country in the world.

>>19346213
OK, what a well-reasoned, coherent and convincing argument.
You sure showed me, huh?

>>19346224
Nta but fuck off you reddit loving troon lmao

>>19346223
>They NEED an incentive to be nice.
Now that you mention it, it DOES make sense. I mean, it's not like low IQ poorfags would otherwise understand the basics of social etiquette, and bribing them with money seems like a good strategy.

>>19346223
You're not American esl.

>>19346239
>You're not American esl.
It's funny when you call someone "esl," especially when they speak better English than you.

>>19346218
That's happening in the US too. Fast food workers started getting paid more than people working in doctor's offices.

>>19346245
>Fast food workers started getting paid more than people working in doctor's offices.
I thought it was funny a few years ago when some hospitals couldn't find anyone willing to be EMT's because nobody wanted to do that kind of job for $6 an hour.

>>19346249
>I thought it was funny a few years ago when some hospitals couldn't find anyone willing to be EMT's because nobody wanted to do that kind of job for $6 an hour.
That was in 2022, zoomer

>>19346249
I've never seen EMTs paid that low, that's weird. It's with all the lower end stuff that still requires certs and education. It's common practice in health care to have less than bare minimum staff running at all given points and just run those employees ragged. Was before the covid shit too.

If I was private island rich I’d tip wagies just enough to push them right to the threshold of the next tax bracket

>>19345875
Lmao, do Americans really?

>>19346245
More us citizens eat fast food 4 times a week than go to the doctor at least once every three months
Fast food workers should out earn doctors

>>19346303
tax brackets are marginal, shitskin retard

>>19345875
I wouldn't give them a penny because of the sign alone
>>19346198
>You're not. Under the Euro system, you're essentially tipping 20+% whether you like it or not.
not so fast, fatso - you absolutely ARE paying more - food prices are 15-20% bigger in your thirdworld shithole than here. So you ARE overpaying AND are blackmailed into giving Tyrone his share as well, because you're scared his gonna spit into your fries

>>19346274
X-ray technicians work around 4 hours of actual work at most, get paid above average salary and get paid a bonus because their work has a (very low) risk of giving them cancer
And it's only 4 years of college
I would have been one but I had other plans

>>19345875
>using the cunny emoji in real life

>>19346383
That's what I'm saying, it's the lower end workers that don't rake that money in. You could have gone to a two year for that btw.

>>19345881
>what am i tipping for?
so the niggers dont spit in your food

>>19346417
Yup and you can specialize or apply to a better clinic were they pay you way more after a few years of work
What a great career seriously
I'm studying cs because there is no cap for growth, a ton of options for what the fuck I can work on and you can develop passive income by selling something you made or charging people to use your bots but x-ray technician wasy second choice
