SO I GOT BANNED FOR NOT TIPPING LOL

[TSCQ]

Would you still tip? If prompted?

 

[DonRafa]

i’d unplug that monitor and walk out

 

[MetalMario]

another thing about those bills is they tell you after the fact. credit card swiped n all. Not many places show those before getting seated. Those "gratuity X% of 6 or more in a party" I've see before but "Honest to goodness" tax? FOH.

I honestly just stopped.

Only way I tip is if it's a restaurant I sit down at, or delivery. Everything else is a firm no.

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

[dakingii]

Yea i dont tip unless im sitting down.

Unfortunately damn near every spot i go to in Atl has auto gratuity added to the check now smh.

[WASHED KING]

I work for tips and the only time I tip is delivery (rarely get) sitting down to eat, and my barber. Dont do it for pickup

Where I’m at in CA the locals restaurants have their auto options as 20% 22% 25%. I’m tired of it all. I select other 0%.

I used to be a really good tipper. I’m just done. Service charges on everything and tip lines for everything. No thank you. Unless I’m sitting, it’s 0. Why should I tip them for me picking up my food and them getting $15-$20/hr+ just to put it in a bag. Half the time they’re not even putting in the bag themselves. And half the time they **** my order up and you don’t find out till after you gave them a tip. They can stand over my shoulder and watch me write 0.

This coming from a person who spent 14 years of my life working for tips in restaurants.

/end rant

20% on top of that. Atl food scene is a disgrace. Overpriced for the same Lamb Chops, Shrimp and Grits, chicken and waffles with green grass backdrops.

Yes!

 

[dakingii]

Yep 18 or 20% every spot.

My wife spent a long time working as a server, so I get why tipping is important.

That said, I tip for services provided beyond the ordinary. Dining out qualifies, imo. Delivery qualifies, imo. Nothing else qualifies. I do tip my barber, but only cuz I want to keep that relationship positive. I don't tip for pick up. I don't tip my garbage/mail man. It's possible I would operate differently if money wasn't as tight. But meh.

COVID created this excessive tipping culture that needs to be stopped.

Service at a restaurant with a waiter or waitress makes sense, Delivery makes sense, and so does ride sharing. The buck ends there for me. I used to tip my barber but a temp fade is $50 now, they don't get tipped anymore either.

 

[MetalMario]

You can tip garbage and mail men?

Pause

I don't "tip," but every year, I give a gift to my USPS carrier and my regular FedEx/UPS drivers. It's usually a gift card worth $100.

It may not seem like a lot, but I've never lost a package, and they'll wait until they know I'm around before they drop **** off.
