What is your thought on tipping culture in the U.S.? This server gives us her thoughts #interview

No i’ll never tip 18-20. My max is 10% and depends on the service take it or leave it!

When I first came to US, I learned tipping 10%... now 20%? It is a lot ;(

This all points back to the employer. They should be paying their workers better. This is how they get richer. Giving them half ass wages and the customers have to pay out more on top of the meal. IT’s rediculous.

50% u are dreaming. You shouldnt expect a percentage, it is your job, my frd.

So she is expecting tips

One and only BEST solution to this nonsense.
Just STOP tipping.
Don’t feed entitlement.
Customers are not responsible for their wages.
Let the business owners pay their employees’ salaries.
Put an end to this BS.
Tipping is mandatory and should never be forced.
I don’t tip. So everybody I request to stop, STOP TIPPING.
This is the only way to bring a change.
Don’t expect the greedy business owners to change.
We, as customers, have to power to change this.
Take this initiative and DONT EVER TIP, ANYWHERE.

Restaurant servers should unionize somehow and go for the real culprits here: the restaurant owners. If a business cannot pay its employees, it should not exist.

Most states have laws that the employer has to make up for tips in order for the employee to make at least minimum wage in that state. Please check into your state laws before you're made to believe that waiters make any less than anyone else

50% she's delusional

You do not have to tip. I almost never do unless it was truly exceptional. You get paid for what you do. Every server has been informed about their hourly wage and they agree upon it as they sign the job offer.

If you want to get paid more try a different profession. If you want to achieve something, you go for it. Serving is not a sales or commission based job. Why should you expect people to pay you free money? their own hard earned money.

People say “Standard tipping” - Why what is that?? Who has come upon with this magical 20% or 18% or the best one is if 8 or more mandatory…. hahaha.

If you think you deserve to be paid more, you ask for it. If you do then you will.

If you think your boss is an a**hole then you should leave that job. If you think you would not get another serving job, you are mistaken.

"I'm not making a livable wage. Let's ask someone who's not my employer for money"

Tipping culture is just dumb. It should be only done to show appreciation for a service and even then there should not be some sort of minimum percentage attached to it. People should tip what they eant or not at all

Buddy you should ask increment in your salary to your manager asking tip to coustomer is not good they paid for food

Clown!

Leave the job 😤

These teenagers or adult dont wanna work and expecting someone should give them 50% money for 15 sec of serving a meal from kitchen to table is insane.
Just take out guys say noooo for tip i dont care i will 100% say no

U expecting 18 20 is mad enough for me. I know underpaid is worse and ive experienced that, but thats insane having the thought of not expecting more than 50%

Ill be grateful enogh for not expecting more than 20%. And 5% tip would make me hella happy.

As a former server it is horrible manipulation to act like they can’t pay their employees a livable wage, especially at big chain restaurants who spend millions of $ in marketing every quarter. I used to pay a base tip of $10 but I’m done leaving tips more than 10% unless the service is great. The culture needs to change, and America needs to wake up and demand more $ for their hard work without having to beg for it from other people that are struggling too

Tipping is not Mandatory or an Obligation...... It's stupid people who want to tip every Asshole at restaurants and typical places....... That's when all these Businesses started charging customers gratuity on their bill 🙄😐

So as a server she do her job with no salary and have to carry 1 ton of rice bags I guess. She says like it's the hardest job on earth

They need to stop speaking in percentages. Imagine going to a normal restaurant and buying some fancy wine for like some high price of $500 and they ask for a 10% tip which would be $50 for handing over a bottle of wine.

Tips based on percentage makes no sense

CNA here making $19 an hour 😢

50% 😂😂😂😂

50%? No fkn shit you don't expect that

If my plate cost like 10 bucks I’m not tipping 15 20. I’ve always thought it was backwards you too a server and not the cook all servers say they don’t get paid enough but what about the cooks they don’t bitch and cry and it’s known they make less than you

Bring back the 10%

Everyone has rough days at work, tips for everyone then?

Just ask you employer to paycheck hike, or leave the job
Why we give our hard earned money to you guys for free ,
Tip should never be asked or expected

Study

We have restaurants with no tip policy even if employee accepts tip they will be fired

fool culture tipping is begging

Ok so ask your boss to get a raise

As far as I know, the food ain’t really cheap in America, I think it’s pretty enough for bosses to pay well for their staff.

I think servers do get paid enough for what they do: serve the food. Nurses, on the other hand for example, don't. They actually put their lives on risk taking care of sick people and get paid peanuts.

"Well as a server"... there is alrady the main problem. "Well it benefits me so i think its good" thats exactly how we ended up with an elite that owns 90% of the country

All of us have rough days honey. Servers have such entitlement.

How’s that my problem if you don’t get paid enough wtf, my pockets ain’t that heavy 😂

If it’s optional, then it shouldn’t be an expectation. But the thing about Americans is that they expect it, and if you don’t give it to them, you’re a horrible person who doesn’t deserve to eat.😂 and corporations and companies love this, they love that servers and fast food workers are shaming people into tipping because they can pay their workers less and make customers pay their own workers😂

Who is expecting 50% tip. These waitress should know its not our problem they get paid less. We work to pay our bill. Its not falling from trees. If your are paid less leave the job find other jobs

And I would deduct 3% for every “like”… 😂

Tipping culture is bad

50% for feeling good........ Maybe she's another kind of server.....☠️

I won't pay 50% even if i am drunk 😂😂😂

Most people have bad days in their jobs and don’t get tips

Sounds like a beggar. So, are people who are sexually harassed at work supposed to get millions from their customers then? 😅

END tipping

She started out fine but 18-20 expected ? Lmao get a fucking grip lady

Percentage tips as a concept are the most insane thing ive ever heard. If you give some amazing service ill maybe tip you like 5 or 10 bucks but thats it.

Should I get a tip for cleaning restroom I want my tip why server is only one get a tip ? Make no sense

If she deserves a tip for doing her job then I deserve a tip for doing my job, if you have a low paying job then get a better paying job. Most of the time waitresses do a shitty job and have bad attitudes because of their shitty wages because they chose to stay at that job.
