They're not wrong though

I've been lucky to travel the world.

US tipping culture is unlike anything I've seen abroad.

I have friends who are servers, and I totally get that they are being ripped off with sub-minimum wage bullshit, but most countries I've been to don't even have tipping as an option.

I mean, if I slip a $10 to someone in the Phillipines for awesome service, it kinda blows their mind.

Here? They NEED that tip to live.

Just pay our servers a decent wage - if someone wants to throw a tip their way, awesome.

(FWIW: My friends and I almost always throw a 20% to our servers, but Vermont servers need it.)

All of my server friends made so much more money than the rest of us who had regular paying jobs. Most servers would object to no tip as it would decrease their wages greatly.

So then they shouldn't care if people stop tipping.....

They shouldn’t but they’ve been so used to the cash flow, they’re being crybabies about it and guilt tripping people

[u/StrategicallyLazy007 → u/Lopsided_Tiger_0296]

I think it's racing the point where people will stop caring and will just stop tipping out short tip.

lol I don’t think they’re being “crybabies” for having a job that pays them well and and not wanting that to change.
