Just a FYI guys, I found the bars FB page. That pic of the "shitty tipper" was posted 2 yrs ago.
What I found interesting is they have a post about a viewing party for the episode of Bar Rescue they were on.  Isnt that a show for shitty and poorly run bars owned by clueless people?

It’s so fucking ridiculous. For poor/medium/great service it used to be 10/12/15. Then it was 12/15/18. Then came 18/20/22. Not too long ago I saw suggested tip on the receipt 20/25/30. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to print out suggested tip for 30 percent on their checks?

Ok, Just to vent for a second. Go out several times a week to the same several places. I tip 20% because I can afford it and the math is easy to be very honest. Generally that means a 50-60 dollar check with a 10-12 dollar tip added to that. No alcohol if that makes any difference. Been going to these places for years before and after COVID. What gets me is that at one place, I go in and am treated very nice, lots of chit chat, manager sees us in sitting at a table, he comes over, a try to upsell desert or wine or whatever. The other place treats me and everyone else like a stranger with no special treatment for being a regular and a decent tipper. I feel happy to tip at one place and obligated at the other. This is why I feel the tipping is out of hand

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wyomingnick: I don't see them listing people for normal tips or even low tips that aren't 20% That board mostly listed stiffs that didn't tip at all or a ridiculous low amount like rounding $2 up on $125+ Honestly its in poor taste but I couldn't care less. Those customers listed likely deserve it. Tips aren't even a thing in most countries. It's an American custom that creates a grossly inflated sense of entitlement, even superiority among some. I was over any sense of "guilt" many years ago. I'll give a tip with each drink to keep things moving as a practical matter, but not out of any sense of guilt or duty to them. If they want more, they should run for Congress like AOC. |

If I walk up to the bar and the tender is playing candy crush on the phone or finishes a 5 minute conversation and pays no attention to paying customers waiting, you aint getting squat. This is usually my experience in bars.
If you move like you have a purpose and actually remember my drink and can get it to me, you get tipped well. |

Pizza joints get away with paying under min-wage because of tips. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By odiedodi: Dude, my first wagie job didn't pay enough to cover current apartment rents even with a roommate, even adjusted for inflation. That's a problem, and it's not sustainable in the long term unless you want UBI or a permanent underclass of illegals. Our economy is broken, but bitching about fry cooks and waitresses isn't conducive to solving it. It's just impotent rage and scapegoating. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By odiedodi: Originally Posted By Torf: What sorts of extraneous "nice to have" expenses are included in this bare minimum? 980 square feet of living space, with no roommates? Labor saving devices and pre-packaged food in the kitchen? Monthly cable/internet/phone/streaming bills topping only $200 a month? Your own automatic washer and dryer? Unlimited air conditioning? Your post is meaningless, especially so since you state "pay the bills", which could be many thousands a month. Was it enough to afford an apartment at current rates instead of rates 30 years ago? Probably not, but employers are paying DOUBLE AGAIN as much money for unskilled labor these days. One of my sons is working through this now. With a roommate, he can make ends meet with 22% of his income going to rent. |

Yes? Then why do you need to pay more? Does the asking price not cover operations? Then adjust prices accordingly and allow the consumer to decide if the total cost is worth it. When I go into Peter Harris to buy a pair of pants and the sales clerk pulls my size and rings me up, I don't expect to tip her nor does she expect a tip. The company decides what they need to charge to keep the lights on and employees paid. There is transparency. If the price is too high in my estimation, or the service sucks, I shop elsewhere. |
