Because I don’t want someone to get fired or written up for being rude to me. I just don’t want to pay them extra money for being rude to me. 15% instead of 20% is not even nearly as shitty as either not tipping or speaking to a manager. I speak to a manager if there’s something wrong with the food becasue that’s…

I’m being petty because I don’t want to pay strangers extra money to be rude to me? Nah. Fuck that. Getting shitty service means you took your shitty day and made it also my shitty day. I have no qualms about making your shitty day even shittier because of it. What you’re advocating for would be like high-fiving…

Leaving nothing could have been an oversight. I wanted him to know he sucked at his job.

Cool, so you’re saying people should tip 20% for bad service but then go complain to the manager?

I know how this is going to sound: are you white? Because I’ve honestly never heard this POV from anyone who wasn’t white. Being black in America means I’m subjected to all kinds of racist stuff daily, including subpar or even just plain awful and offensive service at stores and restaurants. I’ve worked in food…

I’ve never tried it yet but really want to: It always seems that when they come by to ask how everything is I’ve just taken a huge bite of food. I really, really want to just slowly let the food drop out of my mouth while looking at them, pause for a second, and say “It’s delicious”. Then just fork the food back into…

Oh, fuck you for calling me an entitled asshole because I said I prefer to tip a rude server 15% rather than get them reprimanded by their boss. Like that would just turn your shitty day around? Shove it up your ass. I don’t expect friendliness, I just expect a server not to be rude.

If I’m at my job and I’m having a bad day, pretty sure my boss doesn’t give a flying fuck and it’s not gonna be cool with me being shitty just because of my “bad day”. Yeah, we all have bad days, and the way we handle those bad days have consequences. I don’t get why you think servers should be exempt from this.

Why 20%? When did it go up to that? Cause pretty sure it started at 15%. And don’t say that b/c of inflation, because that’s reflected in the prices and I’m tipping based on that. You can call me selfish. That’s fine. I’ll call your attitude entitled. I’m not a cheapskate and I have no problem helping out people, but…

15% used to be the standard. I’m not sure when, but sometime in the last 10 years of so, 20% became the standard. So you’ll still see some people scoffing when someone gives a 15% tip and you’ll hear some people adamantly defending the 15% tip.

I agree with you. I pretty much always tip 20%, but if it’s obvious you don’t care about your job and your attitude and service is shit, I’m not giving you 20%. It’s crazy to me how people here are seriously advocating that servers be given 20% no matter what. Like you said, if restaurants want to start paying servers…

There are consequences to people if they fuck up at work, maybe not an immediate dock in pay, but there are. Here, it’s the customer who takes action. What if they were just being lazy? Or maybe they’re not cut out to be a waiter? Should we just keep rewarding them cause of this absurd “what if” game? I don’t believe…

Yes, but that’s why I don’t tip over 20% either. The whole system gets too comfortable with relying on tips, and the virtue signaling associated with tipping is disgusting. Minimum wage people do not exist so you can tell your date how fucking magnanimous you are.

In happier news, Devon Sawa’s twitter bio reads “Ex-teen heartthrob, but with the polar opposite beliefs as Kirk Cameron’s”

Tip well for bad service? Are you an idiot?

He did work with Tim Allen all those years. That couldn’t have been a healthy role model.

Maybe Scar had his reasons after all...

Well, that’s some disappointing news. Goddamnit, JTT.

I think he was on the cover of Advocate and then everyone said he was gay.

I thought she meant it would be a really obvious, unique name (she can’t say his first name is Keanu and still have it be a secret) but apparently we think she’s clever enough to do a misdirect like using the real name.
