Tipping has become a burden. 25, 35, 45% tips for a takeout order or mediocre service. If you don’t shell out a tip though, you often become the villain as you’re that one customer who didn’t leave a tip, but how did things get so bad? Well, tips weren’t always a part of American culture; in fact, early Americans were strongly against tips. It wasn’t until the mid-1800s that wealthy Americans learned about tipping from European serfs. These wealthy Americans would bring this practice back to the states but it by no means caught one. This was the case until the Emancipation Proclamation which freed slaves resulting in most of them working in service industries. Many business owners would not pay these workers any base salary and they would be completely dependent on tips for income. So, it’s no wonder why people who were anti-slavery started tipping these people on a regular basis. This quickly became customary within American service industries and legislation only strengthened this trend. Pair this with the ease of paying and calculating tips offered by technology and you get to the tipping crisis that we’re currently in. This video explains the history of tipping and how generosity became a burden in America.

@me-myself-i787 Жыл бұрын

A tip does encourage good service. The tip they're asking for is what they'd get for average service, while exceptional service warrants a higher tip and poor service warrants a lower tip. Having the standard tip baked into the price removes the option of punishing bad workers by withholding a tip.

Tipping when "the service is good" is not a good idea, because it promotes expectations towards the servers to receive tips, as long as they did good work. This is bad, really bad. It's so bad that in my country, the law strictly prohibits tipping on some services. It is literally illegal for you to tip, because biases that come from people who tip and those who do not is dangerous. You're not going to like it if you're getting bad service because the other guy tips better than you. You want to tip? Tip homeless people, orphanages, churches/mosques, those who actually need the money. Don't tip good services, if you think they did excellence, keep using their service/keep going to that restaurant or whatever, if the service was bad, never go back to it. That's how you do tips, and that's how it's done here in Asia.

But they like to be called the victims just because they do not get a living wage from their employer.

What state did you visit? My experiences in the south (Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee) were the exact opposite: A lot better service than in Western Europe. For me it confirmed that tips do have a great effect. One big advantage is that people that are working in more expensive restaurants earn a lot more than those people would earn in Western Europe. I've seen waiters with a lot of experience while most servers in the Netherlands, even in more expensive restaurants, are below 40 and often much younger as they do it as a side job.

This issue is well countered in India. Here everything has MRP (maximum retail price) which includes taxes and transportation costs. There is absolutely no tipping culture here, except some people get influenced by Western Tipping culture and tips. In restaurant, there is service tax of 5% which is divided by 2 for both State and Central (and this is optional). If you want to buy something online, like in Amazon or Flipkart, the price stated there include taxes. Heck, now it's mandatory to write price/gm or price/ml for essential groceries and foods because that eases the mind calculation we Indians do before buying something (eg: Biscuit A costs 30 rs for 400gm and Biscuit B costs 40 rs for 500 gm... Which one is cheaper).

Hold the servers responsible? They need the tips to survive, where else would they get their paycheck? Hold the customers responsible?

Washington) and they STILL expect a tip and think you're an asshole if you don't. So not only are you tipping them, but you're tipping them even more than you normally would, because the regular minimum wage means food was much more expensive there, and tips are based on a percentage.

Tipping should not be used to replace a fair wage and as an ex server anyone that tells me "you don't know what it's liket to-" shut up. Yes I do. I do know what it's like to have the option to make 20 bucks an hour with tips, while also breaking your back doing intense work that your body NEVER recovers from.

There is one more frustrating moment about tipping and technology. There are two apps I use from time to time: food delivery and taxi. I tip way more often in a taxi app for one simple reason - it asks for a tip after the ride, so I can reward or punish the driver according to the service. In contrast food delivery app asks for a tip before submitting an order, which makes no sense. I've had couple experiences of setting a decent tip only to have the courier get lost, get mad at me and deliver a sad cold food 30 minutes beyond estimate - I basically rewarded a poor service. And the worst part is: later on didn't reward deliveries that were on time and polite, since I was burnt on previous experience.

@mjc0961 Жыл бұрын

Yeah that's insanely stupid. It should be asking about a tip once the food is delivered. Perhaps a reasonable solution in a world where this moronic tipping instead of paying employees a fair wage is the norm would be to always say no tip in the app but have cash on hand to directly tip the driver with when they hand you the food if they did a good job.

So you have the greedy folks who get in to make the big tips for the sake of simply making them along with broke college kids and young people who simply couldn’t find another job. I will also say, some places still split tips among everyone involved in your order (including the food prep person or people) so it is more then the foot work to the kitchen and back being tipped. I still think it should be on the employer to provide the worker with firstly, a livable base wage, and secondly financial rewards for ongoing good customer service (bonus pay, raises, whatever) as they should know more about the employees standards of service on a regular basis among multiple customers as opposed to my one order on one specific day for the stretch of a meal.

Anti-tip for sure. I don't even go in and sit down to eat often. I usually order online, pick it up, and leave. And these stupid online ordering sites or apps are asking me to tip! Not only have I not received any service that warrants a tip by entering my own order online and going to the place to pick it up myself, I'm supposed to tip before I even know what happens when I get there? What if I put in a 10% tip and then arrive there at the time the online system told me to arrive only to find out that they didn't even cook my food yet, and I have to wait longer? What if I get there and it was done sooner than expected and now it's cold? What if they screwed up the order? None of that warrants a tip, but too late, it was already charged. Once I paid for an order online, went to pick it up, they said they didn't see a payment and made me pay again, I got home and ate my food, then checked my credit card online and sure enough, there's two charges for the meal pending. So I had to call the restaurant back and get one of them canceled. Absolutely not tip worthy. But yet I could have put in a tip when paying online had I wanted to. Absolute joke. Supposedly I should be pro-tip for this, because I could just continue saying no tip while picking up and enjoy lower prices, but that leaves the problem of the employees being paid poorly unsolved. I'd rather pay more knowing that everyone involved is being paid fairly and never see one of these stupid tip screens again.

I was actually looking forward to seeing how it worked in reality. But what we found was totally different to what I understood. If tipping is a mechanism to reward good service, why do most businesses require you to tip before the service is provided? And places where we got our own product from a shelf or fridge and presented it to a cashier still wanted a tip - but what service did they provide? Throughly confused. If a tip is really just a tax, make it standard and call it a tax or overhead. It made it hard when we did come across exceptional service, but had already paid a tip when paying for the product, how do you reward that person more? A very confusing system. BTW, if a tip is paid at a cash register when ordering, how do I know that the person who showed exceptional service actually gets a better share of the tip?

Anti-tip. It has become a problem. I agree they should just charge a flat rate and be done with it. You can always remove the added charge for those who are doing a pickup.

It like in South Park. The forced donation episode. They should make another one about tipping too.

What percentage of the "digital tips" actually ends up in the pockets of the tipped worker, and how much is "skimmed off" by the management, the kitchen, the...? Here in Israel, people routinely leave cash tips in restaurants, instead of credit card, if they want to ensure the server gets them. (If they decide to pool tips between themselves, that's their business.)

I never go to restaurants in the first place (prefer cooking myself and eating at home anyway), so tipping hasn't been a problem for me in a long time, but holy hell did I hated it on the few times I did have to. It's just such a dumb concept, just include the worker's wage in the price of the food damnit.

When I was in New York the restaurant charged my creditcard even after I denied tipping. Another time a lovely waiter turned into a devil because I hadn’t tipped her. In the Netherlands we do tip, however, it’s not a essential and certainly not mandatory.

Im a Dunkin Donuts worker who is lucky to work for a franchise that allows tips. we get paid minimum wage (in MA its currently $15/h) and the only positions that don't get tips are managers and above. I'm pro tip as long as the worker is paid fairly and not forced onto the customer by a kiosk. I dont ask people for tips and i treat all customers the same. If they tip i might throw an extra munchkin or hash brown in the bag, but usually they tip after we hand them their food and drinks

@borisyeltsin6606 Жыл бұрын

The problem is that so many small businesses have opt out tips, where the tip is selected by default. Large franchises like Dunkin intentionally foster an environment where tipping is opt-in and politely optional

Exactly tipping in America. Feels like a service charge now. It doesn't feel like a tip anymore. It's atrocious to even call it a tip and the fact that people who chose to work a job. It's the worst deal you could ever take. I would be done to take that deal but work a job where your pay is based on a generosity of others. They rather be mad at the customer for not tipping than be mad at the company who hired them who won't pay them. It doesn't make any sense to me. It'd be like if my job right now cut my pay in half and I chose to be mad at all the customers instead of my job. Outside of social situations, I don't even eat at restaurants because of this because it's absolutely ridiculous. And the crazy part is some restaurants will tackle and gratuity and still expect you to tip

There can 2 price lists: one for dine-in and one for take-out. Or dine-in can have a fixed service charge, that is previously disclosed, added to the bill amount for extra service received. Or maybe people can choose to just give no tips. It is mostly optional anyway.

I don't like tipping either, but one can kinda get used to that. But the one thing I do not understand at all, is the mandatory tip for groups of 4+ people in some restaurants. Like what the hell? Economy of scale suggests we should actually get a discount. Or do you actually make less money when you have more customers? Is sitting at a 4-table in 4 people less profitable for you than if only 2 people sat at the same table? Please someone explain this, it makes zero sense to me.

@MaxMustermann-ri4is Жыл бұрын

in restaurant yes, groups of 4 person's mostly sit longer and eat on average less than groups of 2, so groups of 4 less profitable. but differences not significant so nobody calculates this

As American living in Japan for 5 plus years where it’s actually rude to tip, I love it that there’s no tipping. I’ve always felt the idea was just a scam and judgmental. The idea of someone not having a decent wage from the beginning and rely on tips to make ends meet is incredibly dumb and nonsensical.

12:01 Restaurants can't just raise prices, or we'd choose competitors with better deals. When we experience bad service, they won't see us again. But if we return, it means they're doing a great job! Separate dine-in fees could help keep take-away prices competitive. No tipping needed - our repeat visits prove their quality and value!

In Switzerland there's been a big turmoil and then the decision many years ago to pay workers more, and eliminate the tipping as a must. You always do it if you want, but there's no specific percentage and they cannot ask for it.

I haven't had a problem with tipping personally until recently. My wages are dependent on tips as well so I haven't seen an issue with returning the favor when I'm out spending (the system isn't great but it is what it is). About month or so ago I ordered a hungy howies pizza online. I don't mind making the drive to avoid delivery fees nor throwing on an extra couple bucks on for the employees working the hot oven but I was caught off guard when I went to sign the receipt that I had pre-paid with my card on the website that showed the tip I had made and had ANOTHER line that said 'additional tip'. I just scratched it off since I had already done so and also picked up the food in person but It'll be a long while before I go back there now, felt like an overstep that hit me hard.

@Rohith_0110 Жыл бұрын

It is a problem, now that the industry knows they can charge more, if the tips are cut they will just raise the prices to compensate for their lost profit. It is a classic case of the cat is out of the bag, now they know they can charge more they will charge more. This should have been eliminated at the root, now there probably nothing we can do about it.

@sal5440 Жыл бұрын

I stopped tipping when they started asking for tips. It's rude as hell to just throw up a tip screen and then say "How much would you like to tip?", none.....if I wanted to tip you I'd have just done it. Watch how tipping becomes more and more rare since many people aren't happy throwing money away before you even see if the service was worth tipping for.

Hopefully but we need more people to wake up. Like in the video tips are up 80% when they use the tablet and set the min tip. Best way is to spread the words to others to always leave custom $1 tips or no tips at all. Tired of this bs and I'm spreading the word
