What's the minimum amount you're supposed to tip your cashier?

I've heard people say as high as 35% but I usually don't go over 25%. Though I've heard stories from some of my friends who work in fast food that if you tip less then 20% they tell the cooks to spit in your food

this is obviously a troll thread

but to answer it honestly, i usually tip a dollar at places with only counter service that have a tip jar. if there's no tip jar, then i dont give a tip

Whatever you feel they deserve for the job they've done.

Yes, this includes a 0% tip. Don't feed me that bullshit about still tipping a bad employee.

>> No.5800577

Why the FUCK are there tip jars for the cashier in the first place? When I first saw this any sympathy or compassion I had dissolved. I just don't see how hospitality has become this fucking coddled. I get tipping waiters cause of their pay, but cashiers are making an appropriate wage and doing a job that requires no real skill or capability. At least waiters have to fucking shoot the shit with you and pretend to like you.

>> No.5800583

>>5800573
If the service is terrible I tip a very small amount to let them know that I do tip but the service was shit. I feel like leaving nothing just looks like you never tip. I also make a point to tell the manager my issues if the service is that bad

I did see someone once leave a single dollar IN their glass of water which is a bit extreme.

If it is a pick up type place I will usually leave the coins from my order since I don't usually carry them anyways. Even at like 30 cents, it is sure to add up for them through the day. At even a paltry 100 customers, its an extra30 bucks for just having a jar out.

>> No.5800589

are there really people who don't tip their cashiers?

in my town it's unheard of. one time a guy had a huge order, like $20, and didn't leave a tip at all. once he left the cashier called the police and they picked him up, arrested him, and beat the shit out of him while he was detained at the precinct.

This is true, but people will try to convince you that a job you can give to anyone is worth more than that. When I worked as a waiter in a steak house (texas roadhouse) I felt bad when people tipped me for what I considered the easiest work on earth. All you do is bring people their food and keep their drinks topped off and MAYBE give a bit of small talk ( they are there with their friends/family, not you ).

>> No.5800601

>>5800590

they make less than minimum wage
>but the employer has to pay you minimum wage if the tips aren't good

asking your employer to pay you full minimum wage is a great way to be fired. if you don't get good tips for a day, you're expected to just suck it up and hope it's better tomorrow.

I went to a tiny middle eastern kabob place with the GF the other day, only two guys working. Service was the best I've ever had, food was perfect, server introduced me to my new favorite beer. So I left $60 on a $42 ticket, was well worth it.

>> No.5800935

I love that I moved to Europe. Nobody here EXPECTS a tip, sure they want it, but they don't scoff at you if you don't tip.

My brother and his wife are bartenders and they would would flaunt around how much money they made in tips on one night and the fact they they wouldn't report it to the IRS. Then some other nights they would bitch and complain how they had to serve a table of 10 people and they got a small, but still enough to bring them over minimun wage, tip.

It pissed me off. I worked at a really busy gas station and nobody tipped me. I didn't ask for tips, I didn't expect tips, I just did my job.

Servers are spoiled shits who think that they magically deserve more than other people for just doing their jobs. I asked my brother if he ever tipped his garbage man, even if it was just fro Christmas. He asked me, "Why should I?" I asked him, "Why should you get tipped?" "Because I work hard for it." "So does the garbage man and he gets paid less than you when you include your tips. Why shouldn't he get tipped when his job is really shitty?" "Because he chose that job."

Fucking idiot.

One thing I don't get is how people have this idea that tipping culture improves service. In my experiences it's quite the opposite but maybe that's just because of the way I like to dine. For me having a server hovering over me, constantly asking if my food is okay, if I need anything, want a refill, is highly annoying. In European countries you get your food and they leave you alone to eat it, and if you do want something you just flag them down.

>> No.5800999

>>5800985
Exactly. Servers like that are practically begging for a tip. It is really annoying. I have to stop mid-conversation with my wife because this fucking waiter keeps asking me if I want something else.

I have noticed though, that in the US, it's usually at mid-tier restaurants. When you go to a really expensive restaurant the waiter stops by once to ask if you would like more wine. That's it. He walks around and keeps an eye out for customers that need something. If you want more wine you know you can make eye contact with him with very little effort. Otherwise he stays out of your hair.

Having a job > Being unemployed - TRUE
Being entitled to tax free money because you deserve it more than everybody else earning minimum wage - FALSE

And that's the magic word. Entitlement. These fuckers act like it is their right to get more money out of you for just doing their jobs. If you're not like that, then cool. I'll probably tip a lot you just to spite the entitled fucks.

I don't even eat at restaurants but this is such a big annoying issue that i want people to stop having wars over it.

I always feel like its unfair how waiters and other tippable-type jobs get paid, just because the boss thinks that these poor wait staff get enough and should earn the rest from people who just wanted to eat a sandwich, and are not expecting to give up even more money than the price of the food.

what a stupid paradoxical system.

waiters should get paid FULL wages, not a penny and "earn the rest if your so good" they are already working a job, they should get paid for it.

as for the people eating at a restaurant, they shouldn't have to worry about paying for anything other than the price of food, people go to restaurants to sit down and relax and pay the restaurant to prepare and cook the food and bring it to them, and they already pay much more than it would have costed them to buy all the ingredients and make it themselves at home, so for the pressure of needing to pay some poor kid tips to be there, it kind of screws everyone over, the waiter, the customer, etc.

imagine if you could just walk in, sit down, pay for your meal, eat it, go home.

imagine if you could go to work, get paid for working, and go home.


supposedly a study was done (I forget by who, you can probably find it on the internet somewhere) which showed that if waiters and waitresses wages were changed to minimum wage that food prices at restaurants would go up by about ten cents at most. At restaurants the smallest expense which owners pay is the wages of their staff, and they are already so low that it won't make much difference. Additionally, there's this thing called balancing your budget and an owner could simply allocate a little money from one area and use it for wages, which would result in little or no change of food prices. continuing-

>>5801068
continued-

The whole "your food will become super expensive!" argument is perpetuated by the greedy chain-restaurants who want to get away with paying their staff next to nothing. They want customers to pay staff wages instead (which you do in the form of tips) and they have fixed the minimum wage for waiters and waitresses at a very low price.


"Former server here, you can get screwed. I would much rather work for tips than work for minimum wage and receive no tips" what if tips were not mandatory (as they seem to be) anymore, and optionally you could tip if you really felt a waiting employee did a really great job?

Whatever coins i get in change or if i go ther often i generaly tip maximum a dollar. If i go there religiously maybe two. Its not like wait staff but if you are a regular and its a god place you will not only get better service but sometimes better portions.
