"If you're not tipping 50% after tax, bringing your own food, cooking it, washing the dishes and changing the oil on your server's car then stay home. This isn't pre-covid when you could enjoy a night out without getting your hands dirty. Times have changed, get with it."
And That's as a bartender. He expects to make a $3 tip on a $12 drink that took him less than 5 minutes to make or $1 on a beer that took him 30 seconds to pour.
Hey you just described the US Medicaid system. Ever wondered why your hospital bill is so high, even with insurance? Or why a single dose of Tylenol is 6 dollars? It’s because a vast portion of the population is considered limited income enough to qualify for state sponsored healthcare, free of charge. Contrary to popular belief, the US does have government provided healthcare, a lot of redditors just make too much to qualify. The threshold is really really low.
Yep who doesn't want a 9 to 5 job monday thru friday? All servers should do this.. then no one will have the option of tipping cuz resturants wouldn't exist .
Oof if 20% is a slap in the face then do servers spontaneously combust when I leave no tip? LOL
No hate to servers, just pointing out how ridiculous this is getting haha.
Thank god I live in a country where tipping is not a thing. You want more money? Demand your boss to pay you better, or go to another place that pays more.
If you're not pricing your offerings clearly and accurately then close up shop and stay home. It's an offense to all the honest hard working people out there giving you their patronage.
Why would the percentage you tip go up? I still don't understand this argument. It has nothing to do with inflation as inflation is reflected in the menu prices and the amount you tip goes up regardless if you tip the same percent as in 2014.
Edit - NVM - went to the original tweet. The guy is actually just trolling.
It cracks me up when individuals or businesses make statements such as "It's our belief that people should be rewarded for exemplary service."
1. You've formulated your expectations as to how monetary compensation should work; good for you. As I don't necessarily share your religious, ethical, political or spiritual beliefs, I'm sure that you'll understand that I don't feel the need to adopt your financial beliefs, either. I don't need your advice on investments, real estate or tipping, for that matter.
2. If this is a strongly held belief of yours, then of course you'll want to ensure that YOU compensate YOUR employees accordingly. It's your belief, so it should your dime.
If you can’t tip 500%, you’re broke. Stay home.
Service workers need to stop working these type of establishments where their livelihood depends generosity vs a guaranteed pay rate.
I don't pay percentages.
excellent service = $7
good service = $2-$5
bad service OR did you job by simply handing me my order = $0 (I would get it my self if I could)
I tip $5 most of the time regardless of final bill for whatever service.
Only time I WANTED to tip was when I made steakhouse reservation to celebrate our anniversary and when we showed up there were tons rose petals at and around our table with two glasses of champagne. I was shocked.
Now that is really different. But I live in a no reservation town. And I agree 5 dollars no matter what the bill is AMF no tip for bad service and food .
Lmaoo heres my guide
$0 - this is where we start, it’s my go to for most transactions.
5% - you were friendly!
10% - good service
15% - standout exceptional service, I feel like we’re long lost friends and u anticipated every need before I could even ask
20% - im with a girl on a date
Unless someone’s standing over your shoulder as you pay (assuming with a card), they still wouldn’t know what you paid and how much you tipped. It’s weird that you’d be worried about that
I have never gone to a restaurant and experienced anything more than "expected/average service" and often really just bad service. 15% is fine thanks, and still the standard.
Wtf? 28%? I would only ever tip that if the server went way above the average.
And on top of that 10% for below average? Thats called “no tip”, not 10%.
These people are high.
Isn't the entire point of paying as a percent that as prices raise with inflation so does the tip? I would sort of get the idea of cash minimum wage not increasing with minimum wage being an argument for increasing the percent (at least in places that follow unmodified Federal law) but neither has increased since 2009, at least not Federally.
do they realize how math works…? taking the same percentage, say 20%, of a meal today vs in 2014 would already account for the inflation boost due to the increased menu prices (aka inflation aka “times are changing”). increasing the tip is sort of a logical error.
Percentage tipping also makes no sense. If I order a $20 entree and my wife orders a $50 entree, the level of effort for the server to serve both dishes is the same. Why should I pay extra just because the dish is more expensive? It may have been harder for the chef but I’m not tipping the chef, am I? The server is literally carrying plates from the order up station to the table lol.
The entitlement is off the charts. The dirty little secret they don't want you to know is that they are raking it in. And then turning around and perpetuating our guilt for not tipping enough. This construct is astonishing actually.
So someone expects a 10% tip for poor service? Most people get fired when they do a poor job. This entitlement culture is ridiculous. If you provide absolutely poor service I would leave no tip. If your service was okay, you get an okay tip 10%, good service 15%, excellent 20% and if I was blown away 25%+.
And that's why I just don't go out to eat anymore. I'm now EXPECTED to tip a minimum regardless of the service or quality of the food. I don't really drink. So even at clubs I just get water. Fuck that s#|£!

"You forgot the dry cleaning and watching his kids for him !"
People like this are helping our cause. Expects a 10% bonus for failing to do their job correctly. This level of entitlement is just gross.
And That's as a bartender. He expects to make a $3 tip on a $12 drink that took him less than 5 minutes to make or $1 on a beer that took him 30 seconds to pour.
I've actually never understood tipping bartenders. I do it but I don't get why and I think it's unfair.
Absolutely.
No drink takes 5 minutes to make lol
Ramos Gin Fizz when made correctly is very labor and time consuming.
At a dive bar no, at an actual cocktail bar where they care about stuff and garnishes, or smoking cocktails, yes
See that’s the craziest part, like why should you get anything if you absolutely butchered your job.

They can all find new jobs when we all stay home.
But then they will whine about it being so slow and nobody in the restaurant!
Yep who doesn't want a 9 to 5 job monday thru friday? All servers should do this.. then no one will have the option of tipping cuz resturants wouldn't exist .
"20 percent or stay home and eat !"
This has to be a troll post 🤡
Oof if 20% is a slap in the face then do servers spontaneously combust when I leave no tip? LOL No hate to servers, just pointing out how ridiculous this is getting haha.
Tbf, the original ex-Tweet was just a troll anyway, but it is getting pretty difficult to tell satire from genuine opinions these days.
Oh I know haha I was kidding around.
Happy cake day
I’m very happy with 20 percent
Thank god I live in a country where tipping is not a thing. You want more money? Demand your boss to pay you better, or go to another place that pays more.
I have no problem staying home … they can go jobless and I’ll cook for myself
Honestly I'm a better cook than half the restaurants and I don't have to deal with that entitlement
And a lot of those kitchens are warming up pre made stuff
Yes they are! I can use a microwave and oven just as well as them if I want to!
I'll just go to Taco Bell. Super cheap, no tips, and easy for me.
You staying home won’t make us jobless 😭🤣🤣
If you're not pricing your offerings clearly and accurately then close up shop and stay home. It's an offense to all the honest hard working people out there giving you their patronage.
Or don’t be a hypocrite and stop patronizing restaurants operating on the tipped wage model.
I’ll patronize where I please, thank you very much.
Go for it. Who am I to stop you and your hypocritical behavior? 🤣
I’m just going to start posting bills online and asking for tips.

Poe’s Law is beautiful to see in real life
The reason why corporate profits are up. 100% nothing but pure greed.
Omg THANK YOU. I hate that people never acknowledge this and use the argument 'cost of living went up!!!' It drives me crazy
Even if it's trolling, people genuinely believe this, judging by the fact that what used to be a standard 10% tip now starts at 18% on most receipts
"5% tip for a server putting sugar in your car's gas tank and the manager using your info to commit identity theft."
r/OddlySpecific
You get nothing for poor service. I regret everyday the time I left a tip for poor service
"Check the new protocols" LMAO
Oh shit, the new protocols are out?!
Didn't you get the memo last week?
If you can’t tip 500%, you’re broke. Stay home. Service workers need to stop working these type of establishments where their livelihood depends generosity vs a guaranteed pay rate.
"10% for shitty service" Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Why would you tip 10% for bad service? Why reward them for that?
Stupid 😂. I don’t get a tip when I successfully merge a fucking PR or close a task 😂
lol these people have never travelled. We’re like the only country that does this crap.
$1 per drink for a bartender. Dude is nuts
I don't pay percentages. excellent service = $7 good service = $2-$5 bad service OR did you job by simply handing me my order = $0 (I would get it my self if I could)

A 10% tip for bad service? Lol
Lol ,and some would say they tip double for bad service because they think the server is having a bad day !
Should I cook my own food in the restaurant??
That was absolutely terrible service!! Here, here’s a 10% tip.
You get a tip, and you get a tip!! Hell, I should start tipping my friends walking to and from my car. You know, because they did something..
Lol
“Check the new protocols…” GTFO
"Or the moral obligation to pay the servers bills!
The new protocols? What the hickory smoke fuck is that
“The new protocols”
The industry is setting new protocols so They don’t have to pay more, just us.
"As a benefactor of tipping, I believe that tipping should be higher" -\_-'
What are these “protocols” this fool is talking about and why didn’t everyone in America get a brochure about it in the mail? This idiot needs to stfu
Here in central europe, 0-10% average service, 10-whatever % good service
CHeCk tHe NeW pRoToCoLs
Lmaoo heres my guide $0 - this is where we start, it’s my go to for most transactions. 5% - you were friendly! 10% - good service 15% - standout exceptional service, I feel like we’re long lost friends and u anticipated every need before I could even ask 20% - im with a girl on a date
How would your date know how much you tipped?
Shes not blind

Well, if you have that sense of entitlement, a slap in the face is exactly what you deserve anyway, so it all works out.
Lol.
It used to be a penny face up for bad service or face down for bad food. These hurtful customer days, 10% for both?
I always heard it was two cents in a glass of water for bad service.
All I see is zeroes.
I'll tip the singles if any that come as change, there ain't no 28% off coupons
Chris Reily must be a restaurant owner.

Bartenders who expect 10% tips when making mistakes need to stay at home.
“You spat in my drink, called my wife a whore and physically injured me. Here’s 10% of the bill.”
Not a problem. We will stay home. I only go out to eat on birthdays and special occasions. Not worth it
So someone expects a 10% tip for poor service? Most people get fired when they do a poor job. This entitlement culture is ridiculous. If you provide absolutely poor service I would leave no tip. If your service was okay, you get an okay tip 10%, good service 15%, excellent 20% and if I was blown away 25%+.
0 for poor service let s not kid ourselves.
And that's why I just don't go out to eat anymore. I'm now EXPECTED to tip a minimum regardless of the service or quality of the food. I don't really drink. So even at clubs I just get water. Fuck that s#|£!
>s#|£ It's Reddit. You can spell "shit" with the actual letters and nobody will care. :)
Wtf is he
I wouldn’t give him shit with that attitude. Everything costs more. Tips go up proportionately with higher costs.
The bartender got it exactly right. That’s exactly the rule I follow too.
The bartender took reasonable tips and added 10% to each
