Tipping is a reward for the good service and it is optional.
Maybe originally, but now a majority of people in the service industry rely on tips cause they are paid like $3/hr
You could make a decent wage being a server without tips, but there's legislation saying that they are going to take your proposed taxes from your paychecks before it even gets to your hand. That's why you make $3/hr. Because the government said they're taking their money up front. That's why I think if you do depend on tips, you shouldn't have to report them because then it just turns into the government double dipping. Also restaurant owners have full control to give you more pay, but they won't because it's cheaper for them to depend on customers to pay what they don't want to

In America anyways.
USA™ – The default country
Seriously. USA is like the generic video game starter character before anyone's had a chance to customise it and level up. At all. And I say that as someone who lives here.

It's not even a thing in The rest of the world. I don't think I've ever given a tip in my life.
Does rounding up to the nearest 5 (when reasonable) count because I don't like coins?

What I find worse is when I go to a resteraunt that I went to today. It was a mexican resteraunt. And it was a sit down resteraunt. However, the food was basically fast food. This was a fast food place, better than taco bell, but maybe worse than chipotle. It was priced higher than chipotle by about 30%. And then you have to tip because its a sit down resteraunt. Except.....my server took my order, and then I never saw him again. Never refilled my drink. Never came over to check if everything was ok. And it wasn't a packed house. I was one of 5 tables, and 3 of the other tables had a different server.
Meaning, this guy had 2 tables to attend to, ignored both, someone else brought my food out, and then I sat there, waiting for the check......and he just stood at the bar, and conversed. Finally I went to the hostess table, and said "do I pay here? Orrr......." and she said "No, your server will be by with the check."
I felt like asking "Will he though???" After like 15 more minutes he came by, meal clearly done, and he says "So, did you want another root beer?"
And then it asked for tip. Tip for what??? You pressed a few buttons on an iPad, and then ghosted the whole dinning room for 45 minutes.
And it shouldn’t be your job to reprimand them. And they shouldn’t be financially reprimanded. They should be taught better by mgmt or let go. Not on you to manage someone else’s employees or wages. Wish we would all stop tipping at the same time.
huh, tipping as outsourced management. Never thought of it like that. So it's a win-win: Lower wages and less work to do!

I hate how every transaction now forces me to pass monetary judgment.
I'd much rather a gratuity be pre-baked into menu prices, so I can easily make purchasing decisions that reflect my financial situation, rather than being surprised at the end.
I hardly go out to eat at all nowadays, partially due to this.
Surprised at the end? Just thumb through and click no tip. Stop caving to tipping everyone or avoiding things you like. Don't effing tip.
Of course I remember; it's now!
And anybody who claims otherwise can go fuck themselves.
remember when employers actually paid a living wage and didn’t exploit their employees? … oh, wait …
Yeah, me neither.
Soon no one will
cough europe cough
I got a coffee the other day on a date night. Girl (I can say that, she had her pronouns on her nametag) turned the iPad around for me to pay. I shit you not, the options were 0%, 25%, 50%, and "100% if [barista's name] knocked it out of the park today!" Who tf is falling for that?
What the fuck
How much was the coffee?
tf does that matter?
25-50% on a $2 coffee isn't totally unreasonable if you actually received great service.
"Here is some extra money for pouring liquid in a cup and setting it on the counter after taking my other money."
You have to see how ridiculous that is.
Which would be why I specified "if you actually received great service". If the barista spent a few minutes going over the flavor profiles of the roasts, helped you decide, and actually went above and beyond pour-liquid-in-a-cup-and-set-ot-on-the-counter, then yeah I don't think $1 is ridiculous gratuity. Obviously that's a different circumstance than just bare minimum.
