I have traditionally been a good tipper. Often others will mention it.
But the recent changes have me turned into a mister pink in a lot of cases.
Anything take out or not full service I just hit no now. Also the round up for some random cause, I found companies only have to donate like 10% of those to stay in the clear.
Also in the few instances I’m getting take out type shit like pizza and hit “no” and they made a comment. I no longer go there.

I stick with the tipping habits I grew up with.
If I’m getting table service at a restaurant, I tip the waitstaff.
If I’m getting food delivered, I tip the delivery person.
I tip taxi drivers.
I tip bartenders. I’m honestly not sure how to tip bartenders these days though, because it used to be “$1 per drink”, which seemed quite generous when drinks were less than $5. Now a single drink might be $12. Am I really supposed to tip 20% on that?
If I’m walking up to a counter and getting takeout or fast food, I’m not tipping. That’s nutty. Nobody would even consider that if they didn’t use these customer-facing tablets everywhere nowadays.
Sometimes I’ll toss a buck in the tip jar at my favorite coffee shop or pizzeria, but it’s not a percentage thing.
I’ve always known old people to be shitty tippers. Maybe I’m on my way to becoming one of them now, failing to keep up with social norms. But I really don’t think this is the norm, and I don’t want it to become the norm.

Yeah I’m mostly at the same. But coffee shops and pizza shacks etc have gotten to be the worst on the tipping thing, and being vocal about it.
I guess I’m just old now. But even at restaurants we have stopped going in the last year because the level of dgaf is through the roof and the service is shit, burgers are 17 bucks and it’s just not enjoyable. One of our favorite pizza places is like that. Get the waiter that is AirPods in, asking you to repeat your order, fucking up the order, forgetting shit or even to fire an entire part of the parties order, and the ordeal taking 2 hours.

Are you also supposed to tip valet? And does anyone know what the normal tip for that should be?
prey169@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Its usually around 2 to 5 bucks. But these days who knows

Often I’ll sit at the bar and eat. So I tip 20%.
Even if I’m just drinking I’ll tip 20%. It use to be a dollar a drink but I’m not going to fret over the 5p cents more

I just stopped eating out. It’s gotten ridiculous, it’s cheaper and healthier to just cook yourself
