I'm a tipper, but some of the places I'm asked to rip don't make sense. I just deleted a thread with a picture, because I noticed the place put their name in the tip section.
They make a great product, and I like them. But... tipping for an online purchase?! Nope. I can see why people have started refusing, and I don't agree with that. But I think this over saturation of ripping was intentional.
Nothing like a period of frequently dining out to make you realize how bad it is. If you go to even a decent/upscale restaurant often enough you’ll notice an inconsistency in the quality of the meals you receive from one visit to the next. You’re oftentimes eating food that was prepared as long as three days ago and reheated. And the number of times I have sat helplessly at a table while a server (that I’m expected to later tip) lets my food sit at the window while they chat to a co-worker or another table, or I’ve had to sit doing nothing waiting to pay… eating at home is far superior in every way. I can control my own food quality and accurately track my macros. And it’s not a total waste of time and money.
Being asked to tip for pickups really irritates me.
This is why I like paying cash. Sometimes I use a card, and I'm tired of every store being a completely different process.
Ask them for $5 off.
Just last year 20% was a good tip. 25 didn't last long. Now we are at 30% or you're a bad tipper. I'm just staying home.
on the one hand agree.
on the other, is the whole tipping thing a means to skirt tax laws? bc if so that is more favorable. the restaurant publishes that you have to pay 18-20% on top of the bill for a tip. they could just say no tipping and increase the price, and make the job some type of commission position. most of it won't be reported by the server. cbcd will kill the non-taxed part of it tho.
Skirting tax law only works for cash tips.
There was a tiktok that ended up on bored panda about delivery drivers using social media to call out bad, and no tippers. I saw for myself once an apartment above mine couldn't get anything delivered. My son's friend doordash driver) said their apt number was basically blacklisted.
DC did away with tips, the fallout was on r/dc. I didn't keep up with it. Basically the bad places weren't going to make it.
The fast food kiosks are programmed to ask for a tip. It makes no sense.
As if their garbage isn't stupidly expensive as it is!
amerimutts are silly. we don't tip here in europe
I've done tipped jobs, and I've lived through being able to make much more than others. There's a reason people like working tipped jobs. I was making stripper money at D&B.
It strikes me as a reflection that we're tipping (<--haha, but it's not funny) from one type of society to another. We grew up in one where we considered ourselves participants in a larger group, that our prosperity was ultimately tied to that of everyone else, and that we were gratified by being gracious and generous to one another.
Now we're devolving to a society where other people are means, not ends. We try to "get over" on each other. The sum gets asymptotically closer to zero.
There have always been people that viewed others as a come up. It was easier to avoid that type of person. They weren't nearly as common as they are theses days.
Wow. I haven't experienced that yet online, besides ordering food. I do hate when I go somewhere they just make your food, and they want a tip. Like someone else said...froyo, walk in pizza places (Mod Pizza), things like that. Nope, you don't deserve a tip for just giving me what I ordered.
30% is when I just stay home. I hips of its places out of business.
why is this under conspiracy?
I think it's being done intentionally. The economy being shit has more people taking jobs that rely on tips.

This article explains my experience that a, " good tip" has also inflated.

Ah so you're an EUfag. Weird way to out yourself.
You're bad at that.
Is this Reddit now?
If it was reddit I'd be on r/catsareassholes or some shit
I’d like to think you’re real but looking at your account you’re clustered and consistently interacting with known shills.
Most of what you post is spammy and irrelevant.
But you also have different patterns of engagement and stylistically appear to be a real human.
I also don’t see you engaging in hate or shizo larps.
Was there's a point? Because if you don't like my materials you're free to block me.
Poor critical reading skills.
Why don’t you go converse with some more shills… idiot.
All you do is name call and throw around the word shill. Go back to training glowie.
