To tip or not to tip!
I just bought a kid a present at a toy shop. I was asked for a tip. This was new for me. I’m used to being asked for tips for everything food now. Even fast food where you get no service other than them handing you your food.
I selected no tip today but it’s getting out of control I think. Pretty soon every single business is going to be asking for tip.
I’m getting sick of seeing this screen.
Let’s break down my current times when I tip.
Sit down restaurants I always tip if the server is half decent. I usually give them 20%. One time a year on my wife’s birthday it around there I give the server $100 just to make their day and my wife likes to do it.
Fast food i never tip other than the one place my fiend owns.
All other retail I’m not into tipping.
Am I heartless??
I wanna hear your thoughts.
Tip what is it? I have never given a tip in my life. Only traveling through Italy but it was mandatory. If it is mandatory it is not a tip but part of the price.
Tip is just asking for a little extra money for the one serving you. It's not mandatory.
It is not common in my country.
Tips are common in the food and hotel industry because they are exploited as they were paid below minimum wages.
Any other asking for tips is actually asking for a donation.
No not at all, the tipping meta is so out of control. I rarely tip unless I want to because they went above and beyond. Trust me these companies make enough money that they can be paying their employees better. It's such a backwards system
yeah something has to change but I feel like its going to get worse before it gets better.

I do not like the idea of tipping now a days. Tipping was for restaraunts, mostly because it was diificult to keep meal prices down low enough to get people to eat outside of the home, so they kept prices down by marketing the idea that you could 'reward' a good stewardess with a little extra cash, meanwhile, paying them less, thus reducing the overhead so that meal prices could be kept low. Never did catered hotels, so never tipped there. Nowadays, though, it seems everybody wants tips and no idea how the tips are even distributed, or even if they ARE distributed. Next time you see a tip request, ask the attendant how much they've personally made in tips before. If the person handling the tip request says they don't get tips from the tip request, then who gets them? hmmm?
Yeah. That is a great question to know where it is going.

I don't tip unless I am eating at some restaurant and I am with you that the tipping culture is getting out of hand. From what I see, it just seems crazy that they are asking for tip at some toy store.
I hate tipping culture. Tipping should be something we do as a reward for exceptional service, not something we are required to do and made to feel guilty if we don't do.
I can support tipping at restaurants because I know minimum wage for servers is super low. It shouldn't be and I think it's terrible that restaurants make us pay for their servers and try to guilt us about it. But that's another argument. With the status quo, anyway, I can agree with tipping there.
But it other places? It's nuts. Again, if my barber gives me just an amazing haircut and I want to give a tip—that's great—but I should not be pressured to do so. And the same at other places.
In Japan they don't allow tips. If you try to tip your server, the restaurant will be insulted because the message is you don't pay your servers enough. And again, same at other places. I've heard that Japanese restaurants in NYC (Japanese restaurants run by Japanese people, not the ones run by Chinese people) also don't allow tipping and usually have signs saying something to the effect of "We pay our servers a livable wage; please do not feel you have to tip them more". I hope that idea spreads.
I love that idea. Super cool. Thanks for sharing.
