Saying that the service staff have a feeling of entitlement gives off the biggest dickhead energy I’ve seen in my life.
“Oh those uppity servers with their cushy food service jobs think they deserve a tip, they only made it through a plague because they were deemed essential they didn’t do much”
It’s not the service people that’s the problem, it’s a combination of the people not paying a living wage for these jobs and a bunch of other industries getting in on tipping culture to pad their wallets.
Unless the person owns the business that server or cashier doesn’t even have a day in whether the POS has a tipping screen or not.
The only way you’ll ever get rid of tipping culture and not paying living wages because of tipping is to stop tipping. By tipping you’re reinforcing that it’s acceptable practice for businesses to rely on their customers donating to their staff in order for the staff to make a decent wage.
If everyone stopped tipping, businesses would have to pay higher wages.
I disagree. You’d have to organize a national movement with a majority of the relevant population onboard. Can’t even get people to vote. Good luck.
You disagree with what? That it’s how you would get rid of tipping culture? Or that it’s possible?
I’m an American and I hate tipping culture. I don’t believe your solution to getting rid of tipping culture is viable. I think we collectively as a culture would need to agree not to tip, which isn’t going to happen. A much easier way would be through legislation and forcing employers to pay fair wages. I don’t think customers would be inclined to tip someone making a fair wage. If this thread and hundreds like them on Lemmy and Reddit are any indication, people are generally guilted into tipping because wait staff makes $2/hour or whatever in the states.
That's my experience over last 1-2 years.
If you have had positive experiences, you are free to tip whatever is demanded.
If I am not getting decent services, I am done rewarding bad behavior.
Game 101. Social pressure does not work on me.
Game 101? Wow, every comment worse “social pressure doesn’t work on me” you aren’t tipping Batman, you aren’t tipping Joker, you’re just a jerk who should be eating at home.
10% now 🐸
At least that’s something, I doubt you do that cause I’ve already seen your justification. Honestly the person handing you drink after drink at the bar, wondering if they need to finally cut you off doesn’t care. I’m guessing they’re just happy to be rid of you. Eat alone isn’t advice I need to give you… is it?

You’re a fucking idiot working a shit job and protecting the people who fuck you over.
Tipping is wrong on every level and needs to be abolished. The OP is wild in itself, you give an extra $2 to someone for the mere service of pouring you a drink in a bar. People outside the US just scoff, it’s madness.
And don’t give me the ‘oh but people need it to live, you’re an asshole’, go read my comment again.
