    You tip if you like the service. It is rude to not tip.

    However, I’m not tipping someone I’ve never met. I only tip after they have provided some service to me

      What service am I tipping for? Making the food and handing it to me isn’t a service, that’s the expectation. If they did any less I would be making the food.

        Handing it to you is an exchange of goods, but making food is a service. Yes, even if they just microwave something for you. I don’t think tipping for that particular service is usually warranted either, but foodservice is kind of literally called that

          The ‘making the food’ and ‘handing it to you’ is the price of the good. A tip is for how well they do that service and the atmosphere and experience they provide in the exchange.

          If you have counter service and don’t clean up the table after me, there isn’t much opportunity for you to have good enough service to warrant a tip.

      What’s rude is quoting me a price for your goods and services and then expecting me to a higher price anyway.

      Everyone should follow the tipping guidelines from the olden days of when I was a child (80’s). I was taught that you tip your server, your barber/stylist, your driver (taxi/delivery) and the bell boy/valet. For the most part this still works today.

      • 10% meh
      • 15% good
      • 20% exceptional
      • Bell boy / valet $5 flat rate

        20% used to make you a damned hero. Now they act like you’re short changing them. I’m not tipping someone for running a fuckin cash register. I’ve actually started paying cash again just to avoid this whole emotional trap bullshit.

        Out of those things, I only tip the server. Though, I don’t valet park so that’s really why I don’t tip them.

        pay extra for meh is just brilliant. you’re all brainwashed to subsidize companies paying their own workers and act like this is remotely normal or acceptable.

        This, but everyone should be an above average tipper.

        I only tip when they provide a service. If the service sucks I usually leave a small tip or nothing and if it is good service that makes my day I leave a bigger tip.

          you already pay for the service. it’s called the price.

          the fact that you said you still tip when the service sucks is indicative of how dumb this whole thing is.
