I heard they're asking for tips at self checkouts some places now. It's this psycho New-World Scamerica bullshit where digital manipulation at scale is essentially free so if enough dumb people actually tip at self-checkout it's economically viable for them to try regardless of how annoying it is for the 99% of other people.

People say tipping has gotten out of hand, but if you can decline a homeless guy when he asks you for some change, you can hit the “No Tip” button on the tablet. It’s really not a big deal.

How the hell do socially anxious people deal with tipping? I mean I'm not pathologically nervous, just unsmooth, and even thinking about US tipping culture makes me sweat. I assume you just divert your eyes, tip more than you believe necessary and then hurry off?

Yeah I meant more the calculation of how much to give, to whom. I'm just assuming I'd constantly wonder if I was supposed to tip or not, if I tipped too little, too much, etc. Like from what I see there's some general consensus on some clear cut cases, such as eating at a non-chain restaurant, but after that everything goes out of the window and you don't find two people who agree on each other except on the point that everyone else tip the wrong way. Social anarchy.

Tipping should go away. People need to make a fair income without resorting to discriminatory pay.

Like I read arguments online on whether to tip your hairdresser? I mean some of the guides I've read are insane. Tip doormen? Tip furniture delivery men, but not delivery guys? Why tip a massage therapist but not a nurse? This guide has maybe some of the dumbest poo poo I've read, but I'd be hard pressed to know if it is true because obviously SOME people would say that this is legit: https://www.rd.com/article/how-much-to-tip/ "Some people have recommended tipping the salon owner in addition to the stylist or manicurist." Like what the holy hell dude, I tip the person giving the service and then knock on the boss's door and slide in a fiver? Insanity. lilljonas fucked around with this message at 12:49 on May 23, 2023 |

You will occasionally upset someone regardless of how much or little you tip and if you're neurotic reminding yourself that you tipped within the acceptable range only helps a bit.lilljonas posted:Like I read arguments online on whether to tip your hairdresser? I think the argument is usually about whether to tip the person washing your hair seperately. I tip my barber and she spends over an hour on my simple cut & beard trim while I drink complimentary coffee, trade jokes, and listen to music on a nice system. Whether she goes over the scheduled time to get every hair exactly the right length because I tip or I tip because I'm satisfied and she'd do it anyways doesn't matter much.

We should keep tipping, but you should be required to tip progressively more if you have a higher income or higher net worth, and the amounts should be non-negotiable based on those variables. Instead of those tips being paid/collected at the restaurant/barber/etc, the system could be administered centrally, perhaps by the government, and to reduce the hassle of calculating and paying it after each meal out, it could be paid once a year. The government would collect the tips on behalf of the workers and then pay some of it to them directly as cash, and use the rest to invest in collective things that would make their lives better.

Set tip to whatever is the local standard (15%, 20%, etc.), automatically add it to the receipt, payment of the tip is not optional. Simple.

Any bar I go to will automatically apply a 20% tip if you don't close your tab by the time you go home. Which is less than I would have tipped anyway, and also I don't have to stand in line and interact with the guy just to sign a receipt; a 20% tip should just be added on every single thing you ever do ever. Makes everything so much better. Everyone is happy.lilljonas posted:Yeah but even then you have entire groups of service providers where there's no clear consensus on whether to tip or not at all, right? Like I read arguments online on whether to tip your hairdresser? I mean some of the guides I've read are insane. Tip doormen? Tip furniture delivery men, but not delivery guys? Why tip a massage therapist but not a nurse? You tip everybody. I think tipping culture is loving broken and awful, but since we're in it, you should tip everyone. Small interactions like a cashier or a gas station attendant -- just hand them a dollar. More formal stuff, like a coat check guy or the guy who throws your luggage onto the plane -- give him a five. Anything beyond that I don't know though because I'm never in a position where I need to tip a lot -- like I've never had a fancy hotel with room service or anything like that. Why would you not tip your hairdresser? I've never heard of tipping the owner of a place  Haha it would seem weird to tip a nurse, but it seems like if I'm tipping anyone else for the things they do I should also be tipping the nurse or phlebotomist or whatever. credburn fucked around with this message at 15:01 on May 23, 2023 |

Tipping gives me a sense of power and control over other people that I normally don't experience in my life due to the self-esteem issues stemming from my whole micropenis situation. I love tipping!

Makes everything so much better. Everyone is happy. I generally tip nurses, doctors and hospital staff 40% of my medical bill each (before insurance of course!). As for the luggage guy, I’ve tried to exit the plane and go on to the tarmac to tip them before, but apparently that’s frowned upon by the authorities  so these days I just tape a $20 bill to each piece of luggage.

Tipping was cool when I was a bartender because good weekends had me making my rent in one good weekend. The poo poo part was the fact that everyone knew what nights would have you walking away with 300$+ a night, and which ones had you doing stocking chores and being a janitor for 8 bucks an hour if you weren't just sent home early, so politicking and sucking up to bosses was the name of the game for some people. I definitely think the tipping pay loopholes should go away and the minimum should just be the minimum. It might push some restaurants over the edge (it's a real lovely industry to try to break into), but really you'd need to charge like 50c more a table to break even so who gives a poo poo?

In the UK where I practiced patients and family brought homemade baked goods for the nurses who would throw them away for fear of crazed poisoners, but nobody had the heart to tell people to stop. Doctors where I am now get alcohol or chocolates.

Here in Germany it used to be very common to tip 5-10 bucks to your garbage collectors, cleaners, mail carrier, etc. for Christmas. The tradition has mostly died out though over the last two decades. Public employees are not allowed to take money anymore, fewer people are at home during daytime and everything is much more anonymous anyway. Feels like my mail carrier changes every week.
