It ain't my job to pay your employees salaries
Maybe it's your job to avoid patronizing places that don't pay their employees enough though?
No, it's not, however as a near-minimum wage worker myself, it is also not my job to cover a massive corporation's lack of proper budgeting...
If you keep patronizing such businesses, why would they ever do that? They know they don't have to in order to get your money. And it is the same with your own near-minimum wage job. You are working against your own best interests. Nothing will change while people are willing to give their money to companies that don't pay their workers a fair wage.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against tipping if the person did a good job, but a company trying to guilt trip me into giving them a mandatory tip? Nah, that's bullshit, it's essentially "Oh, we can't pay our employees enough, would you mind helping 🥺". Outta here with that.
It doesn't have to be like this, America. Not only is tipping not expected in Australia, but when the "Choose tip" screen comes up on US made software, all the servers I've ever had skip straight through it and choose zero.
Servers deserve to be paid fairly.
I know tipping culture is extreme, but I've never seen 100%. I don't think this is real.
I can't find the original image, it's just been reshared dozens of times on Xitter, Threads, Facebook and Reddit, but nobody is adding context or naming and shaming.
So yeah, probably just ragebait.
If you can't afford living wages for your staff so they're not dependant on tips, your store shouldn't be open.
Everyone working a job should be making a living wage. "Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good. If it's not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn't exist. Period. I will die on this hill.
"Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good
I don't know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don't have tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.
They did away with most of their staff and their prices went up over 100% over the last 5 years or so anyway. It's corporate greed all the way down.
If any place said a 30% tip is so so, I'm not tipping.
This would get an immediate Custom -> 0% from me the moment I see it.
Fucking "soso" for a 20% tip the hell
As a dev I would try negative value in the custom field.
There's no 20 it's 30%!! Insane.
10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It's a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is. Also, NEVER PRE-TIP. That is insane!
I award you no tips, and may God have mercy on your soul!
Select "Custom" and type 0.00 without breaking eye contact. Be careful, though, that 0.00 can quickly turn into 8.88 if you're not looking.
This is why I have stopped dining out, if the business demands excess to then pay staff and without tips staff go unpaid then what is it I am supporting.
Back when 15% was considered standard I liked tipping closer to 30%, but as a direct result of the push to try to make 15% seem low I no longer tip more than 15%.
30% is "soso" but a 100% is only "Thank You"? In this case the 100% should be "Walk over to the other side of the register so the boss can blow You".
The moment they ask for a tip they are not getting anything nor a repeat customer.
Presenting the possibility to tip on the screen is ok, I think. The tone (and from my European perspective the percentages) is, what I find weird.
So hard to get a thank you. Manners these days...
I frequent a bagel place that automatically adds a fairly hefty (not THAT hefty) tip when you pre-order online for in-store pickup.
If not for the fact that they are by far the best place to go for bagels in my area (we have few choices), that alone would stop me from ordering.
Their bagels are good, and I'm not above tipping at a bagel place. But their prices are already very high for a bagel place (they know what they got), they do brisk business, and they should damn well be paying their employees more rather than trying to sneak a 25% tip into every online order. It doesn't even present it as in OP - it's just there in the itemization in the end and you need to manually edit it out before ordering.
Edt - oh and if real, I ain't never going back to the place in OP after seeing that one time.
30% is soso? Go fuck yourselves.
