I wish all American restaurants would just add an automatic 20% gratuity to every ticket. It would solve all of this bullshit.

Probably not. Waiters would still basically demand more tips. And if you didnt leave extra tips on top of gratuity, youd probably still be an asshole since you only left the mandatory amount

Every single time I see these screenshots or stories of waiters complaining about low tips they're always involving gargantuan orders

Quite honestly if you're going to spend that much on takeout you should definitely tip more. Clearly you can afford it

Not always. It mostly depends on a lot of stuff. Like, when I went out with my cousin, it was to this somewhat more fancy place. The rest of us didnt know much about it, but he did. Some of the stuff was expensive. Because he was there on business, he paid for all the appetizers and his meal, and the rest of us paid for our meal I had even made sure to have enough for the place. I made sure to have enough for the tip based on what I paid for (Especially since the waiter was awesome), but I wouldnt have had enough if the check was split 4 exactly 4 ways, so

Plus, some people dont have a lot of extra. For some people, going out is a treat. And they saved up enough for the food. But dont much left over afterwards for a tip. Just depends on the situation they are in The problem is these days, having enough money for the food isnt an option. You have to have enough to pay for the food, and then have enough extra money to pay the waiter/waitress so you arent an asshole So, that kind of sucks.

You are less important than them. That's not even getting into the hard push to displace responsibility away from the employer, when 100% its the employer.

While I agree that its 100% on the employer, the employees still want to keep tips, since they can make bank on good nights Even though its kind of shitty to try to live when you never know if youll make enough to pay bills and shit Its worse that loving paycheck to paycheck, tbh
