This always infuriates me. If your employees need tips to get paid enough, they're just paid too little. Don't bash the customer, bash the boss! I worked in hospitality for years and tips are purely to show gratitude for better than expected service. If you think differently about this, then you're just brainwashed

Custom 0% it’s quite simple.

In defense of this, I work on a service that uses square and allows tips. One of the issues with square tips is you can only ask for percentages, not dollar amounts. Since the service I work on usually costs $1-2, we have to put in high percentages for tips in order for it to be meaningful. I believe ours is set to 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Which is usually equivalent to <$2. They could have had a similar situation here except whatever service they offer ended up being far higher than normal.

Talk about licking the boot that's stomping you.

How can it even be profitable for a business to charge $2 for enough individual service to be tip worthy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Lots of thing cost $1-2 that you might want to tip for. Bartending during drink specials, valet, coat check, bag check, bell hop, etc.

Nah I'd succumb easily for "good" because I strive to be a good boy

Come on... Not realistic at all... Why is the Custom button not transparent? Or doesn't it allow to go lower than 30%?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Does anyone just not tip anymore if it's counter service? It does not require that much effort to take something from a glass case and give it to me.

If you're actively walking around, giving me and checking in on my meal, that's when I tip.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

if i have a bunch of questions and they have a bunch of answers i might tip… otherwise, never

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

anymore

Never did.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

It's an automatic $0 tip if I have 0 interaction with anyone but the cashier, that's for sure.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 days ago

Full table service = tip Otherwise you’ll get nothing from me

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

This business is so out of touch. Everybody knows "so-so" means the same thing as "okay".

If I saw those numbers it would be cancel then shop elsewhere

Americans, your tip coulture makes the rich richer. Having labour laws and unions in place, forcing the payment of a decent minimun wage and the extinction of tip culture would transfer the responsibility to the owner.

Edit: before you say "prices woild go up" 1- you alredy pay "up". 2- He can only go so much higher before he starts to loose clients.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Now is really not the time to be nitpicking the lesser points of American culture. We're kind of dealing with an existential crisis at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

lol you are right. But maybe something small will be the last grain of sand that'll make the bag burst

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

20%
($19.00)
terrible

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Saw something like this at a coffee truck once, but the lady in the truck was kind enough to be gorgeous and wearing lingerie. I assume the tip at that place is some kind of incentive for a dance? Idk. But 100% tip on a $7 drink is halfway reasonable when you might see some tiddy for it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Nudity aside, 100% tip on a total of less than $10 is way more reasonable than 100% on a $100 total

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I would ask to speak to mgmt and tell them that they’re hurting their staff.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

In my area a few places I regularly visit have gone to 18% tip included. When they bring you the check they say an 18% tip is already included and all you have to do is sign the check. They are not looking for anything extra. I like this. I also appreciate that the bartenders and servers at these places tell you that the tip is already included. The worst are those that automatically include a tip but never tell you and unless you read it carefully you are tipping on the food and the already included tip

Seems like it would be better to just raise the prices 18% across the board and kill "tips" all together...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

If anything would start a workers right reform it would be the population stop with tipping. Because if people won't earn as much other than base salary, they will go under. It'll be painful for those affected at first, but it's relatively shor term and would spark a revolt. Let's make it real.
