Makes you think. Why do we tip based on the percentage of what a restaurants management decided the food should cost instead of a flat dollar amount based on the work the servers actually performed? Why should a server working at a place that charges $20 a meal earn less of a tip than a server working at a $100 a meal place? Both servers are doing the same job, taking your order, bringing your food, not spitting in your the food, etc. What if we just tipped $5 to both servers and call it a day?

I doubt the server who is taken off their tables to handle a 30 person party appreciates getting 1/8th the tip as other servers on the floor turning four tables twice in the same time period. It seems very clear to me that you have never worked in a restaurant.

Suddenly a new tier system would emerge in restaurants where servers who suck up to the manager enough to get on their preference list would all be working the cafe (which for once, would now be a desirable location), or 2-tops. They're living the life raking in $5 tips in lightning turnovers for no effort while the guy who looked at Steve wrong a couple of times is stuck working 8-tops and 10-tops all night and unable to pay his rent. Restaurants are happy about it because people are happy to order more without tipping more which further moves the balance to tips being nearly pointless. This is a fantastic idea. Probably the best restaurant idea I've heard since tipshare.

The point is to divorce the size of the tip from the specific price of the food, per plate. If there are more people/plates being served, then yeah tip more.

Obviously I don't think a server should get a flat tip per table. Although I admit it's not in the OP. Per person is clearly the intention I think.

When I delivered pizza this was pretty common on large orders. Got many $5 tips on multi hundred dollar orders. gently caress that, it’s a lot of work loading 100 pizzas into a sedan, not to mention the prep work you get put on getting the order ready. I do personally have certain minimum tip amounts that I give out. I used to eat at Steak ‘n Shake with some coworkers and I always tipped at least $3 for my portion, just because even a 25% tip was pretty pathetic on a sub $5 order Triikan fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Oct 30, 2023 |

I can relate, I've been in this exact scenario. The worst instance was me delivering 40 pizzas to an ace hardware and they didn't even tip. I wanted to slap the lady that signed that slip she looked so loving smug about it. Next time, YOU can carry 120lbs of pizza out of my car, rear end in a top hat.

When I delivered pizzas I took a huge special order to the air show and was directed to drive down a taxiway as a B-17 took off on the runway directly beside me, AND I got an $80 tip out of it. That was the coolest delivery I ever made. But yeah generally I was happy with $5 as a flat tip.

Another time recently I ordered a pizza for pickup online, and it prompted for a tip so I gave a $5 tip even though it was pickup, and when I went to pick it up I had to sign a receipt that had an "Additional Tip" section asking for even more of a tip.

I don't know about Pizza Hut or Domino's but I worked for a smaller local chain for the last 3 years. Our delivery fee was split down the middle, two dollars went to the driver and two dollars went to the insurance my boss paid into, which was like an extra insurance on case something happened and the driver's insurance decided not to cover it. Also there's exceptions to the rule but generally the better off the people were the worse they tipped. Presumably because rich people never need to work in the food industry.

Servers are taxed on the amount of the bill, the government assumes you make a percentage of your sales in tips in the US

Oh that's cool, "Hey we're charging you more, and pretending it's a fee, but we're actually just splitting a little extra down the middle between us and the driver without telling you lol" Yeah rich people usually suck at tipping but I noticed politics weirdly plays into that as well. Oddly enough, Republicans don't have any loving compassion to tip. Jelly fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Oct 30, 2023 |
