Tipping is a reward for the good service and it is optional.

Maybe originally, but now a majority of people in the service industry rely on tips cause they are paid like $3/hr

It's not even a thing in The rest of the world. I don't think I've ever given a tip in my life.

Does rounding up to the nearest 5 (when reasonable) count because I don't like coins?

USA™ – The default country

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Seriously. USA is like the generic video game starter character before anyone's had a chance to customise it and level up. At all. And I say that as someone who lives here.

More like a min/maxed meta whore that only focused on combat and gold generating skills.

You could make a decent wage being a server without tips, but there's legislation saying that they are going to take your proposed taxes from your paychecks before it even gets to your hand. That's why you make $3/hr. Because the government said they're taking their money up front. That's why I think if you do depend on tips, you shouldn't have to report them because then it just turns into the government double dipping. Also restaurant owners have full control to give you more pay, but they won't because it's cheaper for them to depend on customers to pay what they don't want to

Genuinely not my problem. If you're not paid enough, there's plenty of low qualification jobs out there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are there really, though? Especially ones that pay a wage you can live on. Those are rare, and generally already occupied by someone who isn't leaving unless forced to.

Everyone wants to be like "oh if you don't like it then just quit" but if every restaurant server in your city took that advice I guarantee there would be a huge stink about it. We've been hearing it for years already with the "nobody wants to work anymore" - no, people want to work, they need to in order to survive. Just, nobody wants to work for your shitty wages that they can't pay for both rent and groceries with.

They can either offer a living wage or they can keep crying about it.

I genuinely don't care what a bunch of losers complain about.
