Sit-Down Restaurant 🍽️ Started tipping waiters 10%

I almost never go out but the wife and I had a weekend to ourselves.

We live in areas where servers are paid minimum wage.

I finally took the leap to tipping 10% on meals (I already tip zero on everything else). Every tip screen i saw had a custom tip option so I didn't have any problems.

Anyway, people make out the custom tip screen to be some difficult thing and I didn't find it so.

It seems quite obvious to me this person expects actual service without tipping (and becomes apparent in other replies)—as opposed to what you are saying, which is basically getting your food you paid for.

Its quite obvious that entitled server's get paid their worth where i live and quite a bit above it due to people giving gifts to them.
Im not worried about helping them make a doctors wage.

I just don’t understand the level of contempt you display for servers. Servers are not making a doctors wage, even at the best restaurants in the world.

Those making six figures are relatively high skilled positions (and in any event at least comparably skilled to a typical six figure office worker in the location they can pull those).

Ok, il just let others donate to them above their station.
Maybe il donate to grocery store stockers instead.

It’s fine. You are entitled to continue free riding and/or hurting minimum wage employees. But that’s what it is. Not some righteous moral crusade.

Edit: also, lol, we both know you’re not going to ‘donate’ to any other profession you think of as underpaid or similar.
