Another tipping thread.

I tip in food where they take care of you.
Some of these places getting wild, though.

For instance going to get a boba drink. I hate when those have the tip option. Fams just giving me a milk tea :lol:

with the ipad?

yeah i just hittem with a 0
 
This happened to me at a bar. Tipped $1, later saw it charged to my account as 10. Wells Fargo credited it back though. Could've been a mistake, could've been intentional.
 
a Department of Labor rule intended to allow employers to create “tip pools” so that tips are shared across the front and back of the house, as long as all the workers are paid minimum wage, may make the problem much worse. Because the current regulation, as structured, means that employers can also just pocket the tips if they feel like it.
To understand this rule, you need to understand the laws around tips in the US. Waitstaff are paid less in the US because they’re supposed to make up the difference (and more, supposedly) in tips. Every state has a different standard, but that’s how it works, generally. If waitstaff doesn’t make the minimum wage in tips, the restaurant makes up the difference.

What the Department of Labor wants to do is remove certain portions of the law to allow employers to require tip pools if they just pay that minimum wage up front, regardless of tips. Under the law, you’re not tipping your waiter: You’re tipping the business.

The push against this policy isn’t to condemn tip pooling out of hand. It’s fair to ask why the dishwashers and cooks don’t get tips too, of course. But, as critics have pointed out, there’s a giant problem with the regulation: The law, as is, places absolutely no requirement whatsoever that employers spend the tip pools on employees. They can just pocket the tips, legally, and there is nothing employees can do. Restaurant workers would potentially be out billions.

You might think that, surely, no restaurant would do this, but you’d be surprised. A study of workers in three major cities found that 12% of tipped employees had tips stolen from them, by their employers, at least once in a given year. Besides that, there’s the question of the social contract. Nobody gives a waiter a few bucks and tells them to ensure the CEO of the holding corporation that owns the subsidiary with a dozen different franchises gets it. And of course, there’s the fact that this law will benefit the President personally; after all, his holding company manages several restaurants and other businesses that work on tipped labor. If nothing else, it’s worth asking why suddenly the tip belongs to the CEO, not the worker.

She just sounds entitled. what he spends should be irrelevant. Replace those ace bottles with e&j and she's doing the same amount of work. Tacky as hell to call someone out on how much money they give you. Especially if it's 5 figures.
 

This reminds me of the 'tipping for beer' argument. Lots of people don't tip bartenders when they order beers because all the bartender is doing is literally turning around and handing it to them.

This woman got $11k just for handing Jay Z and his crew bottles. It's not like she was mixing hundreds of difficult drinks all night. That's probably the easiest $11k she's ever made too, she should be grateful
 
Essentially spend less to leave room for the tip. The 90,000 isn't going to the people who did most of the service work that night, but at the same time, one can be fortunate enough to even be in the position to earn big from tips.

EDIT: Well 80,000...didn't look the receipt clearly.
 
Is that girl the actual server?

Or just some random person on Twitter that is using the pic of the receipt to criticize Jay?
 
Nearly everyone tips 15-25% now a days. Most of the cheapos are the baby boomers, who were raised by parents that lived through the depression.
 
The lady tweeting wasn't the server.

The actual server was happy about the 11k tip but she probably should get fired for posting the receipt in the first place.
 
What would be considered a low tip though in that situation?

The 20% rule must apply to certain services in that case.
