Why are people starting to not tip or tip really poorly?!
Like I’m taking you worked really hard did the best you could provided awesome customer service and then they give you either no tip or something pathetic?

If you're talking about America, the economy might be tanking. The anchor stores in the malls are shutting down. A few high-profile software companies have had unstable stock prices over the past few months. Banks are still handing out high-risk loans. Health insurance companies have consolidated, and premiums have risen.

That’s very true :( @SW-User

Thought you said as a barkeeper you don’t work for tips as you are not a waitress?in the UK we don’t have a tipping culture instead waiters are waitresses expect employers to pay a fair salary not having most of their income coming from tips earning little per hour otherwise

IKR? My wife drives for Uber and hardly anyone ever tips. She'll have 15-20 fares per night and get 1 or 2 tips. Unbelievable!
I've become a more generous tipper since she's started doing that, btw.

@daydeeo that’s so frustrating! Yeah like I don’t get why people don’t tip, i find it really disrespectful especially when you have worked really hard and earned a tip! haha

Always tip. And usually very good. I do base my tip on the service received. But never not leave a tip. I don't want the servers to think I didn't notice the service good or bad. And for some odd reason bussers do not steal very low tips.
SW-User
Maybe because people think you're being paid to do the hob,so why tip. Or,that the management use the money to pay for goods or to pay wages,to keep there costs down

Lots of cheap people out there. It’s the typical sense of entitlement. People who eat out and don’t tip have no business eating out. Leave a minuscule tip if service was bad. Tips should be based on sever customer service not cooks or things outside the servers control.

I never ever tip but in my defence I don't think McDonald's accepts them.
SW-User
Hahaha. Would you tip a bartender? @WeighedDown

@SW-User $3 per drink is the recommended for cocktail servers at casinos that work the pits and slots, $1 goes to the bartender from that.
Maybe they are tight with money?

@SW-User I guess you have to be thankful they came. If they all stayed home, then the bar would close because no business.

We are at a busy location so there’s always people coming in. But there’s been a trend of people not tipping lately. It’s hard for someone like me that basically only gets paid on tips @jjoe01

@SW-User When I used to live in Vegas I was a cage cadhiet/slot host at a small off Strip casino, and every jackpot payoff I paid out I got stiffed. I'll never forget one malfunction I went out of my way to help, the guy was pissed and I gave him the number to gaming control and told him to call an investigator. The investigator discovered that my manager lowered the payout, which caused the malfunction. There is a small plaque on all slot and video poker machines that reads, "Malfunctions voids all pays and plays." The investigator told me to pay the guy his full jackpot, and I gladly did, $1,250, I didn't get one dime, I was pissed.

I usually tip at least 20%
SW-User
I am tipping more these days. You peeps should too.
bellybuttonfan17 · 36-40, M
I hate that. I make it a point to start my baseline at 18% and then it goes from there to anywhere in 20-21 for good service, 25 for great and 50-100 for exceptional service. During the Christmas time, I ensure I find atleast one student (who I assume is paying for college tuition thru the job) and give them a holiday giveaway (200-500 dollars).
The real issue in this Godforsaken system is the onus on tips to cover a living wage. That is the shit. I wish they moved to a salary based living wage guaranteed and then tips can be bonus on top of that. Works so well everywhere, but ofcourse USA has to be different.. shit but different.

You a hooters girl?
If they didn’t complain then it’s not you, but that they don’t think much about tipping, don’t have the funds, or are greedy bastards.

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 I work in a busy bar in New Orleans in the French quarter :)

@SW-User You should apply to one of the riverboat casinos as a floor cocktail server, your tips will significantly increase. I know this sounds sexist, but it's true, that the younger and prettier you are, the bigger and more tips you'll get, because men are pigs.
NativeOregonian · 51-55
They're cheap shits.
I generally average 25% because I used to cook and I know how it is. But, I also know there are some servers that are deliberately shit and can tell, those usually get the penny in a glass of water, I always get bad service from them no matter how polite I am.
