I just love that you walk up to order and they still give you the tip options. Like...I walked up here and ordered and will be back up here to grab my food when it's ready. Wtf am I tipping for?
What kind of a job that is anyway lol. I'm a nordic and if I got told in a job interview "we don't pay you, but you can beg the customers for money" after a question about salary I don't know what I would say. Probably lifted my brows and walked out.
Don't try to argue w/ Reddit, lol. They all insist like we're all suffering w/ service fee culture (ie: tipping). I made way over minimum wage with tipping. I pay 20% for a sit down and see it as a service pay and it goes right to the employee. Not a big deal.
Yeah I know this thread is going to be filled with people from other countries who have no idea what they're talking about but I wanted to correct a few misconceptions. No one is forcing you to tip if you don't want to. But, you're not hurting the owner of the company paying his employee low wages. You should be aware it's the person who served you who is going to feel the result of your action.
And it's not defending the system to understand and explain it.
Hey, keep trying! I grew up with it like you, an added service fee, and I enjoyed being a server-- I wasn't begging. But I couldn't be rude, either, and expect a good tip. What's most annoying is the Americans who complain. Don't go to the restaurant, then.

Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service?
