Not mad, just dumbfounded and dissapointed by the excuses when tipping IS part of the dining culture in America.
This is a forum where we converse on said topic, no?
I'm glad you understand it's a American construct. Not in other countries, so it is you who should leave. You should feel bad. You're not that good of a person if you have to clam on to a couple bucks because of stuborness and just being overall cheap. Don't like it? Don't want to feel berated? Don't order food you can't afford. Don't live in a country that supports tipping. It's that simple. Why is this such an abstruse concept? You look at it as "throwing away money". Guess I'm in the small majority that thinks money comes and goes. Money is simply a tool. That pocket change won't make your life any more happy but it might to some waiter making less than min wage. I don't agree that the customer is expected to pay for the wage difference. It should land on the restaurant. Of course, you do know if this happens. The price of the food will go up. You will then be obligated to pay more. Hence, if you can't afford the tip, you can't afford the meal.
Yo like is this **** that hard to understand?
Dudes not tipping out of pure stubbornness and trying to prove a point...TO WHOM!?....yes is an American construct, a good one to be honest that give YOU the option of instantly gratifying another human being for the service they've provided you, the same way someone that treats you like crap wouldn't get a tip, why not use that same logic and tip someone who does their job with class and treats you well, a couple of bucks to make someone feel better about the job they've performed?.....how many of you dudes have jobs that don't tip but give you a yearly bonus?...are you against that as well?...what do you think that bonus is?....that's your job hooking you up with a tip! I wonder how many dudes would protest if comes Xmas times their job writes them a 3k check every year based on performance.
