My philosophy on tipping - if I don't frequent the spot, then I have no incentive to tip to improve my "average" experience there. Going to a new place in a new city? Writing big fat "0" on the line.

Has anyone ever wondered why the customer should be responsible for increasing the server's take home? My friend used to wait tables and would make about $150 in tips for an 8 hour shift making her hourly pay about $19/hr.
I also know college grads that make that much straight out of school. Can anyone explain why they should be getting paid the same?

@C1: That's nice for the future, but we live in a present where restaurant staff make sweet fuck all without tips. I think the US's tipping culture is a travesty (I come from a country where tipping isn't needed), but that doesn't mean I don't tip here.

Beyond rude. Because you don't go there you will leave a zero tip? Have you ever waited tables??? They make like $2.50 an hour so they work off of tips.

Yeah, we all know tipping is a shitty and corrupt system in which employers abdicate their reponsibility to pay their employees a decent wage. But you don't take it out on the victim of the system, you fucking shitheads.

They tip out based on sales. So if your bill is 50$ they owe the bartender busser and hostess about 6$ plus credit card fees so if you don't tip not only are you not following the pay structure (they make less then minimum and tips balance it off) but you're actually costing them about 7$ to wait on your fat ass. You're a sicko

like

Yes no direct adverse effect on you for tipping 0. But there's this thing called compassion in which people care about other people and aren't complete self serving bastards

@A1, yup worked in a restaurant from 14 to 19. However, I live in California where we actually got minimum wage instead of $2.13. Not my fault these backward ass red states don't enforce reasonable labor laws. I shouldn't have to pay more than I'm required to subsidize a waiter's salary.

I always tip unless the service is beyond bad. 20% every time. Hope it makes up for rude people like you.

OP you are 100% correct here. All these idiots here telling you to "have compassion" are thinking emotionally and not rationally. You are not responsible to subsidize their salary, the restaurant is.

Is it rational to cut in line, cut people off, and do other dickhead shit if you can get away with it? Maybe, but you're still a ginormous douchebag for doing it

I think the other thing were forgetting is most of the time, op is getting a free meal. Irony of not wanting to give away something for nothing should not be forgotten.

That's bullshit @D5. If it was a required cost, then add it to the bill (like they do for parties of 6 or more) it's not a "known" or "required" cost of eating out. You are only required to pay the full bill and the workers themselves should unionize and go lobby the system if they want a wage increase or tip to be added onto the bill pre-tax. Stop your blame shifting bullshit.
