Ok, cool… do you tell the server that up front? If you don’t , you are being dishonest, because you know damn well they are serving you relying on it due to they lower salary, regardless of who is at fault. If you sit down to eat, you know damn well the server is relying on that tip because they are getting a lesser salary than they co-workers. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that, you get your shyt to go. That’s why you get food to go. You pay extra for a dining experience. You want to sit down and have somebody fill your glass, ask if you ok, bring you more food items and drinks…You give them a tip.
But these restaurants who do the mandatory tips can kiss my motherfukking ass because I do whole heartedly agree it’s they way of finessing and robbing both you and they staff. But you know your server is expecting a tip when you sit down to eat. So if you not going to tip, let them know up front you not going to do that, and let’s see if they still take your table. Otherwise that’s bum broke ass shyt. You don’t tip and sit down… you a horrible person and a bytch. Now that paying at the register and optional tip to go shyt is just ridiculous to be expected
