It's a control behavior, money control, works like an electric cattle prod, and the cattle themselves shock eachother with that. Same like those mafia movies when the "boss" goes around putting money in pockets to assert his ownership, dominance and authority. America works like that from the top to the bottom, ("lobby", legalized corruption, Influence peddling, etc) and that's why we are fucked. Rotten to the core.
>> [_] Anon 3508689 The fuck is that conspiracy ass bullshit at the end? It isn't some stupid as high-class psychology mimicry shit, it's about the minimum wage. Now it depends where you are but in the United States, a shit ton of states have it so that if you are tipped you don't actually keep that tip, you have to make more tips than your minimum wage to get any tip above that. The other bullshit one is where in some states (like Alabama) doesn't pay you the minimum wage and they literally require tips to survive, practically all states following that regulation has the minimum at $2.13 an hour. Even if you live in one of the best states where they correctly give you a minimum wage where the tip is a bonus companies often justify not giving these workers raises using tips as an excuse. The whole thing is a fucked up scam and definitely rotten to the core but you don't need to write fanfiction as to "why" is it a thing. The thing that's shitty is the state is supposed to force companies to pay their workers and instead, the labor of properly paying employees is being put on the customer for no fucking reason as we're all making no money. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/m inimum-wage/tipped

This does not include the service of sitting around, getting waited on and having someone clean up after you. In some US states the people who do that are excluded from minimum wage and instead rely on tips to cover that expense. The reason for it is it supposedly incentivizes good customer service, which is true to an extent. The expectations for customer service are a million times higher in the US than in the UK. But also there isn't a difference in the US in places where tips are supplemental vs required. So it is bullshit, but you're gonna have to change US labor laws if you want it gone. If you don't want to do it just get carryout instead of dining in.
>> [_] Anon 3463920 >># >incentivizes good customer service A great example of where this is true -- if you've ever used one of those kiosks at a mcdonalds where you can punch in your exact order yourself (and not have the person across the counter fuck it up, as is often the case), you get a number, you set it on your table. Someone is supposed to bring the food to you, they take the number away and you eat your food. Everyone behind the counter is making state minimum wage at least, maybe a little more. In my experience, about 30% of the time do staff actually bring me my food. The remaining 70% of the time, they will either yell for you to retrieve it or they won't see you waiting in a line at the counter and just not say anything, and move on. In the latter of those cases you have to go nag them for your food, they give you some sass like its your fault that you weren't in line, and sometimes because you weren't there they've recycled your meal into other orders so you wait for them to prepare your meal again. I'd say the negative outcome seems to be regional and worse in bigger cities with lazier employees. Maybe its just poor work ethic in our country, or maybe grown adults shouldn't be working a part time, low skill gig to feed their family and stand aside for teenagers to take their place. In either case, tips aren't required (or expected) at a mcdonalds, and so the outcome is shit customer service.

This explains everything you need to know why the 50 60 and even 70s where so great. In the 90s after the USSR was disbanded the capitalist relaxed and are exploiting workers more then ever. Oh and the USSR did not collapse it was infiltrated by agents of the capitalist USA like gorbatchov who despite all the people of the USSR voting to keep the USSR with a 80% result decided to disband the USSR because fuck you this is democracy and the will of 80% must be ignored, because this is how democracy works !

(Yet they still pay them at least minimum to 9.00 bucks. Instead of claiming "OH YOU'LL MAKE ONLY 5 BUCKS AN HOUR BECAUSE TIP MEANS WE CAN LEGALLY DO IT." Which in itself is really a system best suited to the 'beautiful people' (And I do gotta say... For once its a racial problem.) Fatties, people who look less than perfect, most men, older women, black men... all tend to get tipped worse than pretty girls. The whole construct is a result of greed. All it takes is for a slow night or some bad tippers for somebody to get fucked over and not make rent. Which means in a restaurant thats failing they'll probably lose waiters/waitresses and/or morale among the ones they have. Meaning they'll have to replace the ones that move to greener pastures with greener jobs or make people have to do more shifts. Not always the best thing.

>> [_] Anon 3268980 Tipping is for the customer service and the waiter. If you order to-go, the food is the same price as sitting at a table where you get someone who constantly refills your drinks, brings your food, cleans your dishes, and makes sure that everything is good. Your tip pays that person for giving you good service. If you don't like tipping, order to-go and just do all that shit yourself. If you don't want to, then pay the laziness tax like everyone else. It's not that hard.

This is because servers get paid enough to make a substantial income; therefore, giving them extra money is basically your way of saying "you look like you need it, take my pity money". However, in the great states of America, servers make the majority of their money from tips, which, even then, is hardly enough to live on. I used to work at a joint that paid $5 an hour, and I've had friends who have worked for much less per hour (as low as $2.15). Now, if you're not familiar with the American economy, that makes about $40 a day, $1200 a month, and $14400 a YEAR, assuming they work 8 hours each day with minimal vacation time.Not only that, but most of these servers are parents and grandparents. Now you tell me, is that enough to live on? With tips, it usually comes to between $9 and $13 an hour, depending on the quality of the restaurant. So you wanna bitch about tipping, or you wanna not tip altogether, you fucking move to Europe. Don't make it our problem because you wanna prove some point to the world that American servers shouldn't rely on tips.
>> [_] Anon 3269000 >># >># >pay extra eurofags never stop to consider that their restaurants automatically tag on 20% gratuity to the bill. The server gets "tipped" whether you like it or not (or realize it). This is not the case in US, except at Guide-Michelin level places. Also, US servers almost universally get shit for pay, far below minimum wage, if they get a base pay at all. Tips are almost all of their income from that job.

An employer of a tipped employee is only required to pay $2.13 per hour in direct wages if that amount combined with the tips received at least equals the federal minimum wage. If the employee's tips combined with the employer's direct wages of at least $2.13 per hour do not equal the federal minimum hourly wage, the employer must make up the difference. Many states, however, require higher direct wage amounts for tipped employees."

Being a waiter is not significantly harder then most min wage jobs and even if you do think it is somewhat harder then they only deserve "somewhat higher" pay. The owner should pay them the wage they will work for and add the price onto the food. Sure I will pay slightly more for the food but without the tip it will mostly even out. I also won't have to worry that if I don't tip "enough" someone might spit in my food. Same shit for taxi drivers. If you are a cab driver and you wouldn't work without your tips then find our what your average tip rate is and add that fee automatically onto the bill. Don't fucking expect me to take part if your Mexican bribery bullshit. Tipping culture is cancerous, makes tons of people uncomfortable and encourages unfair, classist and even at times dangerous/criminal behavior among employees. Its fucking stupid.

You literally CANNOT make less than anyone else can make, and tipping even allows you to make more than that if the customer base isn't shitty. Also if you're barely making enough to live on, you get a large portion of that money back on tax returns.

It'll like working on commission, except you can literally go a day not even making money no matter how many sales you make. Anywhere else, if you come from a country that actually pays resturant staff a full wage, then I can understand not wanting to tip. But in America, people can't make ends meet serving tables unless you tip. And the food bribe thing is true, because, no matter how fucking ballsy people think it is to not tip, not a damn one of them has the balls to say "By the way, I don't tip, so don't expect one when I leave." when the server sits them down.

>> [_] Anon 3122253 >># For anyone who's laughing along with this unironically and actually wondering why tipping is mandatory in the U.S., it's because servers make what's called "tipped worker's wage" here, which is less than minimum wage, which businesses are legally allowed to do with the provision that a worker is in a job where tipping is common. Furthermore, most restaurants have at least one busboy or host, which receives a small percentage of each server's sales. When you don't receive a tip from a table, it literally costs a server to wait on a table. Lastly, the reason you tip in the U.S. is that menu prices are comparatively much cheaper due to the fact that restaurants pay their FOH labor ~$1.75 less an hour. (If the first two reasons weren't enough, this last one should do it for you) It was really hard to watch this, thinking that there are people out there who just like to satirize it as "dumb Americans" instead of figuring out why. And don't get me wrong, a lot of people love this structure. I'm a server myself and I love that most times I earn ~$14 an hour doing something that doesn't even require a high school GED. Guests love it because they end up paying only a little more than they would be without the tip structure, and actually for the reason cited in the video (bill is ~$39? just keep my $50) Sorry if I broke up any ironic shitposting and everyone is pretending to be retarded.

>> [_] Anon 3122260 >># None of this is true. Tipping is a scam so that Restaurant owners can pay their servers less because of combined charity from the patrons. Servers themselves always make minimum wage regardless of if they never get tipped or not unless you have a corrupt owner who disobeys the actual law (and he can get sued and would lose in that case). Also you brag about making 14 an hour but do you realize deserve to make more then what McDonald workers make? I don't think so. I rarely tip and only do so when I get truly exceptional service. >># All servers get min wage.

Just explaining WHY you tip in the U.S. And I suppose that I can't speak for the whole U.S., but here in NY restaurants CAN legally pay their servers less than minimum with the provision that they are tipped. >do you really deserve to make more than what McDonald's workers make? I sure do. I needed extensive knowledge of what's in EVERYTHING on our menu for allergy crybabies and other picky eaters to get this job, a lot of bar knowledge, keeping track of my own cash bank, little things like how to provide bottle service (wine), selling suggestively, how to make coherent conversation including about our building, what there is to do in my city, etc, and otherwise how to engage people without just grunting and taking their food order, like cashiers at McDonald's do. Funny enough, if i acted like the people at McDonald's. I would probably be tipped poorly enough to be making what they are, reflecting the pay to which they are entitled, which is little. Most of those people deserve to make less than they're making as is. >I rarely tip That won't solve anything. Skimping someone who may have trouble paying rent doesn't solve anything.
>> [_] Anon 3122275 >># >but here in NY restaurants CAN legally pay their servers less than minimum with the provision that they are tipped. I know. That is what I was saying though perhaps I didn't make it clear. They can pay "less then min wage" if tips make up the difference. Otherwise they have to pony up all the cash themselves. They can't get away with paying a tipless waiter 2$ an hour or something. >I sure do. Eh... well I can agree to disagree on this. I think I would rather walk around, carry plates and scribble down orders then stand in one place for hours on end and act as a robot for a line of people. I mean for me personally I think the McDonald job sounds harder to endure then many waiter jobs in an actual restaurant would be. And I mean remembering what is on the menu doesn't sound that difficult. After some time working there I am sure you'd get it all down and anyway when people order they usually tell you exactly what they want (I want a burger/ I want the salmon etc...) which makes any need for memorization lax. >Skimping someone who may have trouble paying rent doesn't solve anything. Many people who frequently or occasionally visit restaurants have money problems of their own. You don't need to be rich to sit at a diner and order 5-10$ worth of food for yourself. And anyway forced charity isn't really charity. I don't always put money in the homeless mans cup and isn't that worse then not tipping a waiter with a job and presumably housing? Also by that logic why don't I tip McDonalds people? They make the same or less the most servers. Don't they also have money issues? But no one complains about that. The final point is wages should just be raised to acceptable levels. Real wages in the US have been stagnant for decades now and that is a real issue which can only be solved by ordinary people stepping up and demanding economic reform in their favor.
>> [_] Anon 3122282 >># The core difference between McDonald's and a table service eatery is that workers at the latter are expected to provide service that goes beyond courtesy with the hopes of making a personal connection. You give your name, and wait on a table from the moment they get their drinks (which you refill for them) to the moment their check comes. Good servers ensure that guests don't even need to THINK about asking for something they want, they don't even need to get up until they're done. People come out for table service (mostly) for dinner and a server's personality, as well as the luxury of not having to get something yourself. The tip, in a way (fair or not fair), reflects payment for that service. To a much greater degree, you are required to mask the stresses that come along with working in a restaurant as a worker (not to say they don't exist in fast food, though), an "emotional labor" which is touched upon much less in fast food. I do agree with your final point. The reason I'm not actively complaining about the wages is that I have the fortune of working in a perpetually busy eatery, and so I'm rarely hurting for cash. This structure definitely hurts a lot of workers at less busy restaurants, though, I just hope that they change it when my days of waiting tables are done.

>> [_] Anon 3122361 I feel like most people who defend tipping are/were either employed as a server at some point or have someone close to them that is/was. The entire concept is retarded as we shouldn't be the one obligated to pay the employee, the EMPLOYER is. Also, someone made the point that the restaurant is able to sell their food for cheaper because they don't have to pay their workers as much? That may be true, but no one *actually* charges less (read: very few) because of this. When's the last time you went to a sit down restaurant and even saw a meal on the menu for less than $8.50? I'm not talking about the appetizers or soup or some shit like that, I mean an actual meal. More likely, the minimum is closer to $10 and up. So if we assume that it's $10 because it's actually cheaper than it would be if the restaurant owners had to actually pay it's own employees the full wage, what would the new minimum be, $15?. For one plate of pasta? Get the fuck out of here. Here's another video that this flash reminded me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_vivC7c _1k
>> [_] Anon 3122368 I always figured tipping goes like this: No-Tip- food costs a little extra to pay reasonable wage to servers. Server is good or bad, still gets paid a static amount, no incentive to try past minimum effort in order to keep their jobs. Tip- Food costs not increased and server gets payed less than normal, but tips are expected. Server is good, gets good tip, earns extra pay, sometimes a large amount if waiting on some wealthy shitter. Incentive to continue being a good server. -OR- Server is bad, gets no tip, still has less pay, now the incentive is to not be shit to get better "pay".

>> [_] Anon 3083253 >># Bad apples ruin the bunch, bud. And besides, the entire reason tipping exists is because the restaurant industry has taken up the old steel boom methods. Current federal law says that for waitstaff you only need to pay them $2.50 hourly wage. This is because it's expected that if they're paid regular federal minimum wage of $7.50 that adding in tips means they'll make more than $25 an hour evenly distributed and disrupt some kind of balance for taxes. It's all bullshit, and restaurant companies keep trying to keep their industry's minimum wage at $2.50 so they can keep large individual franchises running without causing the costs to get too high for franchise owners. Tipping should and is slowly being abolished, but it's an outrage it was allowed to become a staple part of a person's income in the first place.

I may get some satisfaction out of it as well as the experience of whatever it is that I do. Same for the waiter or service provider. They get the satisfaction and experience from their job as well. If tips are necessary they should be included in the price. As it was mentioned earlier, tips were invented as a work-around for illegal activity. Since I can easily enter a restaurant, aside from waiting in a long line to get in, a tip should no longer be necessary.

>> [_] Anon 3056919 It is expected you will tip between 12-20% of the tab for good service. If you receive bad service it is acceptable to leave either a very small tip, or no tip at all. You are tipping the waiter, not the restaurant. The waiter makes less than the minimum wage, he is expected to make his living off of tips. If you don't leave a tip, you have paid the restaurant for the product, and made the waiter run around bringing you shit all damn day for approximately 2.13 an hour. The restaurant does not get any of the tip money, the only people that get tip money are waiters bartenders bar-backs and very rarely kitchen staff. Tipping is customary in the USA, it is expected as part of common civil manners. If you don't tip, you are very literally being rude to the waiter. When you do not leave a tip, you are actually telling the waiter that they did a shitty job. If you don't understand this concept, the problem lies with you. It is extremely simple to comprehend, stop being a cheapskate. If you are not from the USA and you are visiting then you need to understand that not tipping is considered extremely rude. If you don't want to abide by local customs, maybe don't visit? When I travel abroad I take extra care to be polite and observe local customs and manners even when they are confusing or weird to my sensibilities. If you still cant understand, then you are extremely autistic and should probably just stay in your parents basement where you belong.

Sweden pursued this once a couple years ago, but it failed to pass.

I am not tipping anyone for doing their job unless I feel like granting them charity. The job of a waiter is no more difficult then working at a McDonalds infact it is easier. No reason I should tip them if I wouldn't tip the latter. Oh and as mentioned waiters always get min wage at worst. If they don't get enough tips the owner pays the difference. Fuck them and fuck their tips. They don't deserve them.
