The other night the bar I was at had a minimum tip selection of 25%. My friend expressed admiration for the fact that every time I got out my phone calculator to manually enter 20%.
I live in America, I understand that 20% is expected, but I was raised on 10-15-20% for bad-good-excellent service. The fact that the percentage expected keeps going up is a hill I’ll die on. I’m not tipping 30 fucking percent. And it’s even more egregious that I’ve seen this crap happen in cities where tipped workers make a fair minimum wage. Yeah some places tipped workers are making $2 something an hour, but where they’re making $20/hr I’m not going to feel guilted into giving 25%.
Bah abolish tipping completely. Not just for food workers but all workers. Charge me what it fucking costs.
