I'd just like a clearly defined minimum tipping threshold where I won't end up with spit in my food.

Jelly posted: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. For real, anyone who doesn't know that the bill (vaugely) equates to the amount of effort serving the party has never worked in a restaurant. bossy lady posted:My family went to a church once for a wedding and they passed the tithing plate around. When it got to my dad he replied "no thanks, I gave at the turnpike." Got his rear end, dad. Holy poo poo that is some cheek lmao

Why would methanar need that? Goon lore was that he had a mail-order bride. Maybe she didn't make the move when he moved to the USA from Canada to get away from gay weed smoking commies. Also, this is all before he became homeless after working remotely from Vancouver, WA because he thought he'd become rich from not paying income taxes. Lol...what an idiot.

i've worked in all kinds of jobs where tipping was an occasional thing i'm in the uk. i think it's stupid that tipping exists at all here outside of a special thanks because it comes from the USA's awful workers rights, except in the UK waiters etc get paid the same as people who work in every other menial job + you probably are getting free or cheap food regularly, so you're just putting the bill onto other working class people when they want to eat food not from a supermarket. i still do it but i just put a pound or two on and i've never expected anything when i've gotten tips. a lot of the event bar work i've done, it's just the hottest 20 year old women who get excessive tips from drunk middle aged men, too. and eating out is more expensive here than it is in america, too. it's just a stupid thing to exist, due to cultural osmosis and a desire to emulate americans. roomtone fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Oct 31, 2023 |

The girl whose uncensored Hinge account he posted went on a date with him and then politely told him she didn't want to go out again, and alluded to it being because he was a stingy bitch who didn't tip their server. This was posted in the Friday thread. He came back from that probe and posted a bunch of gross poo poo about the age gap power imbalance poo poo he was carrying on with in e/n, a bunch of people called him out on it, and he got his lifetime achievement award. Tipping threads just aren't the same without him kramering in to share the literal worst opinions in the world. Kirk Vikernes posted:Why would methanar need that?

I keep reading that 20% as a tip is the standard and that seems fine for a country that lives on tipping because it's all a mess. We don't do tipping here, really, but we do have things like this: https://www.fairwork.gov.au/employment-conditions/awards/awards-summary/ma000009-summary Minimum hourly wage for part time hospitality is $22.61/hr, maybe try something like that. It's the award rate, so employers cannot legally pay you less, that is the bare minimum, so of course what most places will offer.

If she got paid $23/hr for her thursday, friday and saturday shifts she'd be taking a $20-40/hr paycut

I mean that's nice, the award rate also covers penalty days, minimum required time off, mandatory entitled breaks, etc. Also the like, not paying for healthcare thing. But I guess okay, screw minimum rates for everyone, your girlfriend is doing pretty well lmao

You realise that's just one award right? Award rates are a reasonable minimum payment requirement for any and all industries here. Mandating minimum pay, time off, holiday and penalty rates, etc. That your response is "okay but we like it cause we make more this way" is probably the most American FYGM response that could have been provided, and no wonder the idea of taking care of others falls on deaf ears. Edit: God forbid anyone isn't a bartender, those people working multiple jobs can go get hosed, retail workers should beg for tips because this poster's girlfriend is getting loads lol

there are a few (more and more) restaurants around me that say up-front something like "we pay our staff a living wage and the cost is reflected in the prices -- you don't have to tip!" so that's cool

The waitstaff probably deserve at least a 15-20% tip if they’re making $2/hr or whatever, unless they’re so terrible that they openly spit in your food while you watch. On the other hand, what’s up with small food chains putting a tip option on the checkout? If I bought a soda for $2.50, a 20% tip works out to $0.50 which feels simultaneously insulting to the worker and unnecessary in a situation where all they did was lift a cup off the counter. Are companies using this as an opportunity to pay their workers even less?
