Tipping complaint

Tip entitlement from the staff means that 30% is the new normal for tipping and you will be tip shamed for tipping less as some retards use their tipping as a virtue signal which keeps upping the ante on tip percent it will be 50 percent in the future.

There's a local Mexican restaurant I frequent. I almost always order the same thing, chicken soup. It's $10.00. I'm a regular so most of the staff know me and ask as I sit down,
"Chicken soup and water?"
"Yes please"

Today I had a young lady server who I hadn't seen before. She gives me good service and I tip her the same amount that I always do, $3. It's not a lot but it's still a 30% tip. Growing up, 15% was the standard for a good experience but I think that 20% is now the new normal. $2 tip seems kinda crappy so I always do $3.

I swear that she kinda gave me a sour look on my way out after an otherwise pleasant interaction. How much am I supposed to tip you young lady? $5 which is 50% of the meal? Am I not supposed to sit down for a meal unless I order a minimum amount? I like chicken soup. I find a bowl of it quite satisfying. All the other servers know that I order the $10 chicken soup and I always tip $3. Sometimes I am feeling like a wild man and I order two of them. In those cases, I usually tip $4.

In case this makes a difference, I do always ask for a to go container. Not for the soup, which I always finish, but the chips and salsa which I take home and feed to my chickens. It's included with the meal so why not.

I don't like tipping culture for this reason. Just charge me whatever it costs and I'll be on my way. I don't want to be guilt tripped into overpaying.

Normally if the tab is really inexpensive I normally tip more
 
last year, nevada raised minimum wage for servers from $2.13 an hour to $12. an hour. That is great. However, I seem to get a lot of dirty looks when i say that means a good tip is now 10%. not sure why it should be more now that they make an extra $50-80 a shift

This shit is all in your head.

You hate tipping so you want to look for the service people to be "ungrateful " so you can bitch about hating tipping.
 
Do you like the soup? I would tip way more than that on a $10 meal w take home stuff. I'd tip her $10. So $20 for a soup I like, plus chips and salsa for at home? That's worth $20 easy. But also keep in mind I make a shit load of money so tipping big doesn't hurt me at all. Just had a $30 tab at my local pub, a burger, a double shot and a beer. Left $50. That's very worth it to me.

I'm sure your server had a smile on their face after that. Yeah, I'm not rolling in the dough so, while I appreciate your attitude towards tipping, I would not be able to get chicken soup as often if I tipped 60-100%.

15 percent is pretty standard for a server or driver. If you work them like a mule or the westher is bad or you live really far or they are amazing and go an extra mile might wanna add a few more. On a pickup at like a pizza place or Applebee's curbside or subway or whatever it's not expected at all and if you wanna do nothing it's fine but also a buck or 2 or the change is normal. Coffee couple bucks ice cream couple bucks , stripper just throw cash at them , haircut I usually tip 10 no matter what it cost , tattoo I don't know , valet , hotel staff I also dont know. I think that's everyone you are supposed to tip

Its also super easy to estimate 15 percent Say your bill is 24 bucks. 10 percent of that is 2.40 then half so 3.60. And so on.

It's easy to figure out tips here b/c tax is like 10%. Double tax and you got 20% for example. It's pretty crappy when you look at a meal for a family and it's like $75, then realize you gotta pay nearly 30% on top of that for tax and tip. That $75 meal just turned into nearly $100.

Tipping/drip pricing/dynamic pricing etc. is one (are three) of many examples why Anarchism/Libertarianism/Don't Tread On Me/The Invisible Hand of the Market don't work. People like to do unpleasant things to others like 🍇, rob, extort, steal, unalive, enslave, and if allowed to that's what they'll do until society is reduced to a wasteland, so you need to make laws and punishments to stop them. Tipping/drip pricing/dynamic pricing should all be banned and punished with bankruptcy-inducing fines. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Tipping is stupid. I never understood it. Getting a tip for doing your job is weird. Getting more because you were extra nice is weird. The over the top tipping culture we see now is just a natural progression of tipping culture and capitalism. Soon you'll be tipping the amazon drones that deliver your packages.

In most countries I've been in, you get and pay what you pay for. No hidden fees like taxes, service charges, or tips. Much more simple and shit makes sense.

I hate it when Americans go to other countries and tip because then the locals there will start expecting tips from foreigners. Don't take this bullshit culture to other countries please.
 
The dumbest tipping shit I see lately is all of the big sporting event/concert arenas around here have self service drinks and snack stations where you just grab what you want out of a fridge or heated snacks area and then pay at a kiosk. Guess what the first thing the kiosk at this self serve station asks for? A fucking tip with several options 15%, 30%, 50%, 100% or Custom Tip.

Apparently I'm supposed to serve myself, run the register, and still tip <lmao>
