$1 a drink. If the drinks are priced correctly, that'll be 20%.

That $100 single pour of expensive liquor took as much effort to pour $8 worth of well liquor. Tipping on price is retarded, but deeply ingrained.

The whole tipping industry/racket has gotten insanely out of hand.  I refuse to be bullied into tips.


When a tip is earned, one is given, but you do not get a tip simply for existing. For example: The lady that cuts and washed my hard is awesome. She is friendly and provides an excellent service at an excellent price.  I generally tip her 30-35%.

Nobody is supposed to outside of high end places.  Do you really believe the waitress at Chillis should be making enough to buy a median income home?  Her job requires no education beyond 6th grade and little skills.  The market should determine her worth.  But, in 2024 we have stupid high minimum wages and now expectations of 20% or higher tips on already inflated food costs.  I'm actually surprised more restaurants haven't gone out of business.  We are dual income no kids and both make well over the median income, even for our upper middle class area, and even we have cut back on eating out.  How the fuck does the average Joe afford this shit?

Again, these services jobs are not meant to support a fucking family.  They are to supplement income or help with expenses while in college or buy that first car for a high schooler. It's fucking retarded that "living wage" is even a term.  It's not supposed to be a living wage.  Applebee's isn't a career.

So be it.

I love traveling in Europe and not having to mentally tack on 20-30% to my dinner expenses while ordering.

The manager would either tell you to your face to go ahead and get lost, or he would be nice to you and then he and all the bartenders would laugh and mock you once you were out of sight.

That sign is evidence that the ownership itself doesn't give a fuck about cheapskates and pretentious assholes, so good luck with that little lecture to the manager.

I'm a great tipper, and even I don't give bartenders a flat 20% everytime.

If I order a round of tequila shots for my group, I'm tipping for the 20 seconds it took them to pour the shots, not the marked up total the bar owner charges. I'll usually give them $5 for that transaction.

I bartend on the weekends and this is CRINGE.

However, it does ruffle my feathers when I give someone excellent service and they give little/no tip. I try not to dwell on it too long.

Great example- a retired AF guy stayed 30 minutes past closing at had 7 drinks between him and his wife. We hand-wash and polish all glassware before serving so it's somewhat labor intensive. $0 tip.


When I go out I usually tip $1 / beer or 20%, whichever is greater.

Yep, this is me.  

The tipping culture is absolutely insane.. people do alot more, complex and detailed work (even customer service facing) without tips.  This idea that servers and bartenders do something so special that they deserve at least 20% of the value is just insane. I worked retail and would often help customers for 20-30 min at times, and never got a tip (FAR more work than holding a plate) and was paid less.  The entitlement needs to go.

Meh, it's kinda funny. To be fair of those tips are pretty weak. It's probably just mostly regulars they're jabbing

A bar I go to once in awhile kinda does the opposite with a Big Tip alarm, if someone gives a big tip they'll slap a big red fire alarm looking button that sets off a horn and spinning red light so everyone knows.

I always tip good for good service and would find that amusing.  

And from knowing people in the service industry it wasn't expected that 20% was a tip. Throw the delivery driver a few bucks and he's okay.  Never got stink eye from a bartender when I tossed them a buck a beer.

If the owner can't afford to pay the chick a decent wage, and relies on me to pick up the balance, he shouldn't be running a business.

Most states, if not all, if the tips don't bring the server to minimum wage the owner is required to cover the difference. Don't listen to "I'm a poor waitress with a hungry kid at home and I only make $2 per hour".
