Topic	Waitress upset over an 8% tip. Is she in the right?
DarkDoc 02/07/24 5:37:56 PM #422:	Quick question because I honestly don't know the answer: how has tipping in the USA changed with contactless card/phone payments? In the UK we only had a very small tipping culture to start with, but in the last 2 years, as people have stopped using cash, tipping has been virtually eliminated. LinkPizza posted... Dumb argument. I can afford the food just fine. I never understand this. Why do people have such trouble distinguishing between affording something and free will? What's so confusing? Just because you have enough money for something doesn't mean you want to buy it, lol. The reason I don't own a Taylor Swift CD is simply because I don't want to own a Taylor Swift CD. It's got nothing to do with whether $10 is too expensive for me, ffs. LightningThief posted... You quite literally care more about waitresses than non tipped essential workers who make less Why do you keep calling them essential workers? That word has a specific meaning. The whole restaurant sector is literally defined as "consumer discretionary". ai123 posted... Do non-tippers complain about part of the prices they pay at Walmart (or any other retailer) going towards staff wages? Don't see many threads about it. Good point. One of the reasons I use a manned checkout in supermarkets is because I wanna support the staff. Conversely, the reason I don't use self service is because the store doesn't subtract anything off my bill that would normally have paid somebody's wages. LinkPizza posted... They usually just remember you, and no one wants to be your waiter, and youll probably get shit service Assuming you return to that place after not tipping, it they know you. I doubt people working in a restaurant can remember thousands of customers and whether they tip or not, lol. Plus staff turnover at these places is immense. Also, I've never been in a restaurant where somebody didn't get served because nobody wanted to be their waiter, lol. And like, if you're going to the same restaurant every night there's a problem... <cite>DarkDoc posted [p:978713337] in Waitress u...
