    I just stopped ordering delivery once my health improved. It got bad when I started seeing a service fee and still being asked to tip nearly a third of the bill

    Modern tips are just service fees, except you can either pay them or be acknowledged as an asshole.

    I stopped going to a restaurant after the employees said I was a shitty person for not tipping a girl who walked the food to my car $5. It was a $15 order. All she did was walk 50 feet. I get $10 an hour to break my back all day. Fuck you.

      She probably got paid like $4 an hour to serve people food.

      You’re not wrong for not tipping $5. She wasn’t wrong for wanted/needing/hoping for a 33% tip.

      The employer is likely in the wrong for running a restaurant where it’s staff are specifically underpaid to put the burden on their customers to pay them so don’t go broke/stay broke.

      A an European, where mandatory tipping is not a thing, I find this practice of outsourcing the payment of restaurant employee’s salaries to customers absolutely stupid.

      I really can’t understand how either customers or employees are letting this go on.

      If one isn’t able to pay their employees a living wage they should just pick another fucking thing to do tbh.

    Tipping won’t go anywhere because service staff earn too much money. Ask any waiter you know if they’d prefer tips or a better minimum wage.
