      (From the service they claim to get, I’d bet regularly and at the same restaurants that remember their no-tipping ass and want them to not come back.)

        Yeah, it’s like if you aren’t prepared to tip the standard tip, you shouldn’t go out. If people want to argue that bad service deserves less and good service deserves more, that’s fine, but if you aren’t even ready to consider that you’ll likely need to pay 20% then just don’t go.

          Seriously, it isn’t that hard. There’s plenty of lesser quality but still very good chains to choose from in the Five Guys tier if you don’t want to tip.

          Hell, guess what I do when I don’t want to tip, I go to one of those lol, it’s not like I don’t practice what I preach here!

      Once in a great while. Is not often I get someone so bad at their job they don’t deserve at least a little. It’s hilarious that dumb fucks here downvote me for saying tipping is a service based monetary gift.

        Nobody ever said it was anything else, it’s just weird that the first thing someone would say in response to what percentage tip is appropriate to say you give nothing. It makes it sound like that’s a very frequent occurrence for you.

          That’s the thing. 20% isn’t appropriate. It’s whatever the person has earned. That’s what’s appropriate.

                The standard is 20%. That means average service (from a bell curve perspective) is worth 20% of your subtotal. That’s what society has agreed on. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, I dislike how servers are compensated as well, but it’s the reality we live in.

                Saying that “20% isn’t appropriate” and insisting it’s instead “what is earned,” when nobody but yourself suggested it, is just odd behavior that makes you sound cheap. Everybody knows tips are earned. When someone says a 20% tip is standard they aren’t saying you must leave a 20% tip even if the service was awful.

                  No it’s not. Saying there is a standard is idiotic. Fuck that. The standard is whatever I choose to give. If you were my wait staff I’m betting you wouldn’t earn shit.

                    And you wonder why I’m saying you seem cheap. Despite knowing nothing about how I’d hypothetically serve you, you’re already saying you’d give me nothing. Reflect on that, and I pray wait staff never have to suffer your behavior until it’s changed.
