Its Mid-2017, Is It Time To Abolish The Tipping Culture?

[Pressure]

I've always wondered why.

Large tips should be reserved for large groups.

If me and my girl decide to get the most expensive thing on the menu, why should my tip be any more than what I'd be expected to pay if we just got salads??

It's an easier standard than booth rental.

Usually the more expensive the meal, the more courses you've had. The more courses you have the more time you stay. The more time you stay, the less table turns a customer has.

From another perspective, the more money you spend, you're likely having better items, if you're having better items you likely have a better experience, or if you weren't familiar were guided there by your server/somaliere. As a result you're tipping more for a better overall service experience.

No wonder you keep replying. lol

Because I'm finishing up the final stages of a case waiting for customer confirmation. I have time to indulge this fukkery.

Oh Word?! Sounds like you need to be paid in an incentive type paradigm. You could be providing better service to your company/customers if you got a bit more push. lol

Well... In his defense thats already the case possibly.
Sales giving added value can mean more profit, if the salesperson sets his own GP.

New fiscal just started. Bonus check on the way.

It's ironic that the anti minimum wage increase crowd are against tipping.

I'm not against a minimum wage increase and I say fukk tipping. I honestly don't even eat out as much anymore because of it. I'll call and order my food before I sit down unless my friends make me go out.

when waiters are given incentive you receive better service.

if you pay them a flat wage that means they have no incentive to go above and beyond, which means you don't receive the same service.

also waiting tables is a very demanding job, not everyone can do it well. it requires a lot of patience, memorization and multitasking. the only reason people apply is because they have the opportunity to make good money. if you make it less desirable to be a waiter you're going to see more unqualified people being given waitering jobs... i.e. the people you would never want serving you in the first place.

the moral of the story is don't be a cheap fukk. leave a tip for service.

So why are Best Buy employees so good? They make a flat wage and provide pretty good service.

Maybe, might want to decrease that post frequency.

Ya'll be safe.
Get some money.
Tip your bartenders.

Don't forget to let the officer know you're carrying before reaching.

That all might sound good on paper but it's still all based on assumptions.

Ordering a more expensive dinner doesn't mean your getting better service. Your waiter will serve you the same regardless.

I shouldn't be expected to tip more for the plate of food being slightly heavier or the meal costing more. I'm tipping for my food to be served to me, not based off how much my meal cost. What your describing sounds like a restaurant tax, not a gratuity based off service quality.

Being a Best Buy employee requires much less effort and much less skill than a food server.

You also aren't serving someone hand and foot, literally.

In reality, servers tend to be attentive to their better tables because they make you more money.

I'm not saying the logic isn't circular.

I'm not even saying paying servers and Bartender's based on their sales or some other hourly structure beyond tips and 2.16/hr bad.

But I don't think the customer will see any financial benefit due to restaurants either hitting you with a built IN Service charge (no different, but provides you less recourse for bad service) or increased food and beverage prices so that companies maintain their profit margins.

So as a person who has worked both places, I'd say working at a restaurant is slightly more daunting. You have to know a lot of stuff for both. The difference is working at BB is a lot more fun. But to that, why work at a place you don't enjoy?

Idk, I just can't defend an industry that underpays it's employees and pass the cost off to the consumer as a guilt trip. Most people would pay more to eat in a restaurant if need be. People go for the atmosphere and convenience not necessarily the cheap prices.

Edit: Spelling.

What kind of people do you think would start applying for waitering jobs if the tip incentive were removed and replaced with a fixed wage? Who would want that job? The ONLY reason people apply to be waiters is because of that incentive.

When you dine out ideally you want a pleasant dining experience. You want the server to be nice and friendly. You want someone who's knowledgeable about the menu and the restaurant. You want someone who's going to put EFFORT into their service.

Almost everyone at one point or another has gone to a restaurant and got stuck with a bad server. It can ruin your entire experience. Don't see why you would willingly wanna be served by someone who's just doing a job and doesn't care whther you leave happy or not.

servers in france dont receive a tip, their pay is commission based
