you kind of are though because you're increasing the expectation of tips which has a two-pronged effect. it lowers the overall satisfaction of the waiter because they usually won't be tipped as well. and slowly increases the expected tip amount, making it harder for others to go out as often.

Say you are getting takeout. A pizza for instance. It's not getting delivery. you're ordering it in the restaurant and going back to pick it up when it's ready.

When it's ready, you pay with debit, or a card of some sort and the machine asks if you want to a tip.

I don't think Americans pay their waitstaff, or if they do it is something like 2.50$ an hour. Technically if the waitress doesn't make at least min wage from tips, the employer is meant to make up the difference; this never happens because a waitress will be fired for asking.

I don't work full time anymore so i try not to think about how much i can get from people unless its obvious they are worth/demand a lot of attention.

Nice.

If the place pools tips for all of the staff, I kick 20-30% (depending upon the food, the service, the general atmosphere) towards the tip.

Otherwise, 15-18%. I've only ever not tipped twice--once at a diner that served me a wilted salad on a steaming hot plate fresh from their dish washer (got up and left without a word), and another time when the waitress was completely bored and indifferent. Food was fine; I stopped by the front door on my way out to inform the headwaiter of her behavior. He said that this was not the first instance someone had complained about her and added that he'd pass it along to the manager.

I do this with food, only when the server was good to me or I go there at least 2 times per month. I'm a fairly memorable person, so I sometimes get free drinks. With purely beer or alcohol related orders it will always and forever be a dollar per drink tip. People remember me, and BOOM extra attention at the bar and some slick banter on the side. I also never sign my name. I just draw something cool or something silly with words like a dog with finger guns saying "the longer donger is ever stronger". Being entertained makes servers happy.

They don't even make the fucking food, the kitchen does and they don't see any fucking tips, instead I'm supposed to give money to these glorified pack animals that carry shit from where actual work is done to were it's needed, except that makes it sound like goods transport which gives the wrong impression because it's not a truck crossing a continent, it's a highschool dropout carrying a plate 5 metres.
