Life hack: just say you’re from Europe and we don’t tip there

Tipping has gone crazy

This one simple trick fooled them all and its been around since forever. Its called cash. Pay with cash.

They’ll say, if you can’t afford to tip then don’t eat out. Interesting strategy to tell people to stop supporting your workplace all together.

People are strapped for cash these days and can’t afford to top up someone else’s wages when their own wages aren’t enough. It’s pretty simple. Restaurants have been counting on customers tipping so they can get away with paying their servers less. THATS what needs to change

Got a prompt for a tip at a liquor store in BC the other day, didn’t put the case on a flat, singles in a bag, nothing. Easiest no tip of my life

and worse and worse food quality wth is going on, this needs to stop

There is always the no tip/0% option.. its not like its unavoidable

This should not be permitted.

Honestly just don’t tip, places like Starbucks, subway, etc don’t deserve the tip. If you’re actually cooking and serving for me you get a tip based on the quality of your service. Don’t just expect a 20-25 percent tip

I had a tip prompt come up at a tire place. First off they didn’t even take appointments so I had to wait over an hour for them to take me and their shop didn’t even have coffee or anything. Like what am I tipping you for – your inconvenience?

I will probably sound cheap here, but it seems like the cost to eat out has doubled since the pandemic. My favorite pita place used to be $16 for a combo and it is now $28 so damn close. Why should the percentage of tip go up if service people are already getting a near 100% raise?

This article seems to be like 5 years or more behind the times. The rise in tip amounts has been a thing since just before COVID at the least.

The prompts can ask for whatever they want. At the end of the day I’m the customer and I will decide what tip, if any, is appropriate for the transaction in question.

Just don’t tip if you don’t want to. It’s a choice. Even if the prompt comes up with 25-35-45% options. Custom % or $ amount is just as easy a button to press.

I believe tip should not be paid with the bill.. put a money jar , envelope or a QR code (UPI pay as in India) for tipping.. and divide it with kitchen and serve staffs

The whole basis behind tipping was that servers got paid less than minimum wage. They now get paid AT LEAST minimum wage BY LAW. We should be tipping less, if at all anymore.

I don’t tip outside of a sit down restaurant, and I don’t tip over 10 dollars. I don’t care if it’s Boston pizza or the keg.

I’m sick and tired of it.

You are actually doing society a service by NOT tipping in these absurd situation because the business will need to pay their employees more.

I have tipping fatigue

If I walk up to a counter and order food then grab it and leave I am not tipping, period. I don’t tip at stores when buying items and food across a counter is no different. If I sit down to eat and someone brings me my food I will tip.

Stop. Subsidizing. Businesses. That. Don’t. Pay. A. Livable. Wage.

Tipping is not normal in the majority of countries around the world, pay proper wages and stop tipping!

Tipping in the U.S. is to fix the shortfall between the wage paid and minimum wage. For eg – not exact figures- servers in the US get paid $3 an hr and minimum wage is $9 and hr so the tips are to make the servers whole.

Here in Canada everyone is paid at least minimum wage. A tip here is a gesture of goodwill and thanks. If I’m standing I’m not tipping and if I’m sitting I’m not tipping above 20%. They can prompt whatever they want.

The great thing about tipping is you don’t have to do it.

I only tip if at a sit down restaurant.
If we are ordering out, I should not be made to give you a tip. My food was not specifically prepared in a separate kitchen. You did not do anything out of the ordinary. You do not deserve an extra five bucks or whatever.
