In most states wait staff are legally allowed to be paid less than minimum wage because they are expected to make tips. People treat it as an service rating, big tips mean you did a good job, small tips mean you did bad. It's also an easy way to show off. Lastly, if it's a place you go to consistently, you'll get even better service if you're known as a good tipper.
The people tipping 100 or even 50% are show offs and virtue signalers. I usually tip 10-17% and don't tip at all for really shitty service.

i dont get it either and i'm american
on one hand we will pay a regular wage for basically every other kind of job
and we say "good waiters get good tips"
but the truth is most people are too cheap to even tip good service.
and then when servers complain they say "lol get a better job"
but these people still eat out every week and expect to see waiters at their tables.

the biggest irony is that if you take tipping away and give them a regular hourly wage, i guarantee most waiters would complain about missing tips.

> In most states wait staff are legally allowed to be paid less than minimum wage because they are expected to make tips.

Employers are also forced to make sure they're paid minimum wage if tips don't make it up, which honestly is all their labour is worth. Tipping is a carry over from the great depression that should have been discarded of long ago. It won't, because employers and attractive servers benefit greatly from it. An attractive blonde waitress can make an insane amount of money for a job where she just stands around gossiping for 40% of the time, and the onky "stressful" part is putting up with the occasional rude customer.

It's a way for Americans to flaunt their goodwill and self-righteousness in public. In doing so their actions lose any moral sense of being done for the sake of goodness though and nothing more than the exegetic action of doing without a esoteric grounding. It is revolting really - it persists however because to challenge it will insult everyone involved in the transaction despite those no understanding how inherently harmful it is to society in general.

I support it for two reasons:

1) I don't have aspergers so I have no problem understanding traditions even when they make no logical sense.

2) Tipping does make logical sense because it saves everyone money. Even when done 100% according to the law, tips are only taxed once whereas wages are tipped twice. Therefore everybody wins, including the customer, when people are tipped as opposed to paid standard wages.

Nobody expects a 100% tip. 15% is generally agreed on and 20% is what a lot of food workers ask for.

Often there doesn't appear to be any apparatus for tipping housekeeping, but it's worth keeping an eye out for when there is.

So what's your feelings on servers/bartenders claiming all of their tips? They make more money than anyone else in the building typically yet how many do you know that actually claim all of their tips and pay taxes on their income like everyone else? What makes them exempt from paying their taxes like everyone else? My servers take home more in cash than my highest paid cooks who are all paid well, yet they only claim a small portion of their cash. And before you blab on about an owner paying them less than minimum wage, you don't know what you're talking about. If they don't make enough tips to equal state minimum non-tipped wages, business owners are obligated by law to pay full minimum wage. That's how it works in reality. So when minimum wage does get raised to $15 an hour, if they don't make $15/hour between their tipped wage and tips, I still have to pay them $15/hour. Stay salty bitches!

Its all a racket anyways for service people. They'll piss and moan about how they make so much less than minimum before tips, but its not that much at all. It used to be a more meaningful amount, like earning $4 when minimum is $6, and a couple dollars meant more.
The big official minimum wage signs just came in where I work, and tipped pay is about $2 below minimum, putting it close to $10/hr. If the wait staff make even $20 in tips on an 8 hour shift they are already making more than the people doing all the actually work at Applebee's or whatever the fuck

I'm a burger and tipping is a massive fucking scam.

If employers can't afford wages they can't afford employees- shunting costs even further onto customers isn't even a thinly-veiled extortion, and I have no idea how the general public let themselves be conned into believing tipping is not only normal, but expected. My parents weren't rich but when tipping ever came up they made it rain... just another version of wanting Jordans because they're expensive and no other reason.

It's like the very ground level of political finance manipulation. That's just "how it's done" and no one wants to open their fucking eyes a little bit and say anything about how shitty it is, but I've already given up and just never get myself in situations where tipping is expected at all.

My servers make more money than local police, firefighters and people risking their lives in the military. That's why I made a comment earlier about entitlement. You should hear the whining and bitching if they don't make a certain percentage on a table. It's ridiculous. Nevermind the fact you just made $50-$75 in one hour carrying food and drink from point A to point B and being nice. Someone tips less than 20% and these bitches act like it's the end of the world. Like they wasted their time. People go to school and get educations to make that kind of money. We train them for two weeks and they act like they're doing something so important that they should be paid the same or more than those that risk their lives daily.

I used to work in a kitchen. Front of house staff made 3-4 times as much as us making the food. And actually cooking was a WAY harder job. Eventually management started making the waitresses share their tips with us because some of us started asking to be switched to FOH. They complained about that regularly for a whole year and some of them quit, even though they were only asked to share a quarter of their tips with us.

Americans have ingrained tipping culture into being expected, because they've become a slave race without noticing that their employers pay them less and less, stripping away every right they have, and they get mad at the people that purchase the products they peddle instead of their bosses.

Tipping gives you a chance to communicate with a worker in a way that they might actually care about. If someone fucks up service badly enough, give a low/no tip and next time they might try harder.

The notion that customers are being held hostage by workers with threats of getting spit in your food are mostly just urban legends that exist to make sure people tip.

In some parts of the country, tipping isn't compulsory. In others, a waiter will chase you down if you leave without tipping, even if they did a shit job.

But being a waiter isn't like any other job, except maybe other service positions where tipping is involved.

If a waiter sucks at their job, how would anyone know? Would the customer have to find a manager and complain at the end of the meal? There's literally no other metric by which you can measure the quality of service except for the happiness of the customer. It's not like laying bricks or welding machine parts where someone can evaluate the work and decide whether or not someone is a right fit for the job directly.

>So what happens when there's no tipping and someone is a shitty server?
If someone is a shitty server and gets zero tips, the employer, by law is supposed to make up the difference. $5.44 is tipped minimum wage in my state. $8.44 is non tipped minimum wage in my state. By law if the server doesn't make any tips, the employer must make up the difference to the untipped minimum wage of $8.44. Either way, whether you tip or you don't tip and unless the server works in a shady shit hole, that server will make at least that state in tipped minimum wage at the end of the pay period. It's a stupid concept but our economics are so fucked up and our minimum wages don't make any sense with today's costs of living. I would love to see minimum wage go up to a reasonable level but with increased minimum wage costs go up across the board for everyone. Don't feel bad for the untipped server. If they didn't get tipped, more times than not they deserve to not get tipped. Either way they get paid a wage that they agreed to accept when they started employment.

Tip jobs are paid at below minimum wage because if the tip culture. If you don’t reach below minimum wage with tips, the establishment will reimburse the employee. I’m not saying I support tip culture, but for the time being, you’re getting a service that implies there will be some average amount of tip for the product. I really only tip 15% for restraunts and maybe some little things like a buck for the Uber if I have a few on me. And again I only do so because it’s just how the service works. I wish the “gratuity” fee was just apart of the product fee so I wouldn’t have to give a fuck about tipping.

>I didn't know australians had a no tipping thing going on.
As far as I know, most countries do not have a tipping culture, and get as good a service as Americans, if not better. There is usually a service charge in most places, which basically boils down to the same thing as a tip, but it isn't presented as a way of measuring the worth of whoever served your table: it's just a little extra to pay for the waiter's salary. Tipping is usually reserved for exceptionally good service.

I've been going to the same restaurants/bars, and ordering delivery from the same places for years, and can only recall dealing with underwhelming service twice. Once, the restaurant was taken by assault by two busloads of high school athletes on their way back to their hometown, and the place became a chaotic mess, and the service slow. The second was when my friends and I walked into a restaurant that was supposed to offer a private service to a local politician, and we unknowingly waltzed into it; the staff acted politely, but hurried us to finish our meal quickly before people started to arrive.

OR, the waiters are paid minimum/a decent wage, do their jobs correctly, and if you get shit service, you tell them that and/or speak to the manager. If the waiter keeps on being a bad worker or a prick and getting more and more complaints, he gets the sack, and someone (hopefully) competent takes over his job.

A good manager would know whether or not they have a good server after the first couple of weeks or less of employment. A shitty manager is the one who doesn't know if they have a good server or not.

Tipping culture is just a way for the employers to exploit the consumer by making them pay the employee for them.
