I'm gonna start pretending I don't know what a tip is and ask the person to explain.

50%??? Is this an app for millionaires??? I might leave 30% at a nice restaurant if I got exceptionally great service lol Asking for 50% is basically saying "please don't ever eat here again" lol

Well it was inflation, so the tip percentages needed to be higher to account for it /s

There's this nice Chinese restaurant near my place that doesn't take tips. I go there once a week or so for takeout, largely inspired by the fact they don't take tips.

This sort of stuff gets me to leave cash and walk away. This note is legal tender for ALL DEBTS public and private. If they wanted to enforce credit cards only, then they should have charged up front. Bye.

I saw one of these where the restaurant taped over the "no tip" button so you couldn't push it. If you ever encounter that, add a custom tip and punch 0.00

Fuck them for that nonsense.

I've tipped zero at a sit down place because the waiter was an ass. (And I'm a generous tipper, because I've done the job and I can now afford to).

Tipping isn't required.

I think there's a lot of establishments that forget that tipping is not a mandate. It's a courtesy and it should be based on your level of courtesy to the person that you are hoping to receive courtesy from. For me, no courtesy given, then you're not getting that courtesy. Beyond that, the wait staff needs to be pissed off at the restaurant owner for not paying enough.

Only exception to that rule would be Dick's Last Resort, but their schtick is being rude

Give them 0.01, just as a statement

Nothing is more of a statement than something
