Has anyone stopped tipping?

BMW F22 · 07-08-2023, 03:25 PM

Haven’t been to a Starbucks in a while but apparently they ask for tips now? Went to work from there for a bit yesterday, ordered a strawberry acai drink ($5) and the screen flipped over. The lowest was $1 and so on. I tapped no tips. Gonna do my best to stick to that: no tipping for those kind of services and takeout.

Have no issues at all with a conflict...if this lady gets $1 per ice cream (handing people an ice cream) That's $40 per hour. These are minimum wage jobs for a reason.

Mister Manners was part of a street interview this morning on the local NYC TV news. He mentioned that he recently did a TED talk on tipping, and the recent "guilt tipping" that has become common.

Here is a CNBC interview that he did in May on this topic:

You're in Cali - I think it's a recent law change that you have to ask.

No. Servers get paid very low and make up their wages with tips. I will tip well for terrific service.

unluky · 07-11-2023, 09:17 AM

I have always been a great tipper. My and my GF always make a game of tipping someone exceptionally well (100%-200%) 1-2 times a month when we find someone who does a fantastic job. But they more they "demand" it the less I feel like it is my choice and is now required - I give less. If it is on the bill - that is all they get - period. Where I might have given 20-25% - if they have 15-18% on there - they just lost tip.

I hate this culture we are moving into where everyone "deserves" more - instead of learning how to "earn" more. I used to enjoy tipping, now not so much.

200%? Seriously? It's already $150 for a lunch for a family of 4, you're gonna drop $450?

I suppose it depends on where someone takes their family to lunch.

Depends on the state. Here in the PRK servers get $15hr+tips.

Basic pub, like real basic, it's $150 here.

4 x Burgers @ $20 plus tax plus tip = $110
2 x Adult drinks = $35
2 x Kids drinks = $10

$155.

He did say him and his girlfriend only though. So having a 50-75 dollar bill, doesn’t seem far fetched to do what he does once or twice a month for kicks.

this is going to really challenge yalls thinking.

There really should be a tip jar in the pharmacy...now you guys will cry ethics all over the place.

So should you tip you pharmacist, nurse, hell why not doctor. no matter what your service will be better if you are a tipper.

Oh yeah, I forgot the adult beverages. Lol

Doctors, pharmacists, nurses and medical office support staff make a lot better hourly wage than service staff. Waiters and waitresses make less than minimum wage and count on tips to make their wage. So with great service I am glad to tip.

See this for Canada:
https://www.restaurantscanada.org/in...e-by-province/

“General Minimum Wage: $15.20/hour

Both the general minimum wage and liquor server wage increased to $15.20/hour on June 1, 2021, effectively eliminating the liquor server wage. Effective June 1, 2022 the minimum wage will increase to $15.65 per hour.”

As of June 1, 2023 minimum wage is $16.75 per hour WHETHER THEY GET A TIP OR NOT.

ASAP · 07-12-2023, 07:39 AM

I never tip for take out... remember, the tip is for the service whilst sitting not for cooking.

At a restaurant, always 20% if good service.

If just ordering at a bar and getting a drink, you're getting 1 or 2 dollars if your lucky.

Anything else, Starbucks etc is absurdity... it is not my job to pay your employers lack of wages... they should get rid of all of this and go to standard hourly wages for all service workers.
