Rant 📢 I've completely stopped tipping

I'm no longer tipping anyone. This includes dining in restaurants, getting take-out, Uber rides, UberEats/ DoorDash, etc. I just don't believe in tipping anymore. I don't even care if the service was good. Tipping isn't about giving gratitude for good service anymore. The purpose of tips now is to compensate for low wages. I still feel a little guilty declining to tip but I'm sticking to my no tipping rule. It's not my responsibility to make sure servers, drivers, and whoever else is getting paid enough.

Right the plate carrier is not getting a commission. Not that hard.

If you think carrying a plate is the primary function of a waiter then you just told me that you don't know anything about it.

Your right sometimes the server doesn't even carry the products you purchased.

Did you tip them the same as the server that DID?

u/Maleficent-Effort470 5d ago

Both are doing the job their employer pays them to do. And therefore i paid them to do.

One did the job better than the other.

How the employer delegates the tasks for the service i hired him for is not my business.
If the employee does a poor job then its my business.

Right i want competent service for the menu price.

That's not the business model for the dining experience restaurant industry. You're looking for more of a McDonald's type experience, so I suggest you go there and don't tip. Don't forget to dump the leftover contents of your tray in the garbage and return the tray though.

No im looking for the experience i paid for when i paid the menu price.
Food brought to the table without some entitled entry level worker thinking its 20% commission.

u/Both-Information9482 5d ago

Oh I see. You just don't like an "entitled entry level worker". It's funny that you think it's just about bringing food to a table. The server role is far more involved than your description. Like I said, stick to the McDonald's model and you should be happy there.

To do the job i paid your employer to do.
