Tipping, specifically in the original context of restaurants, I will still do, simply because the government needs to change the minimum wage so that servers are included. They're currently a protected group that is allowed to be paid far less than minimum wage, and they are supposed to make up the difference in tips.
In every other context, wow me and I'll tip you, otherwise, don't expect shit.
If you did your job as you are expected to do, then I don't see why I need to tip.
It was always a dumb idea to pay servers LESS because they got tips. There was a time when tips were mostly cash and you didn't have to claim them as income. But now that advantage is almost completely gone. And we should just end tipping. If you go out and don't like the service then don't go back. Just like it works with any other business.
You could easily get away with not claiming cash tips as income, that is.
Are you encouraging people to do a crime?
Tax evasion is serious you know!
.... Nevermind that the IRS lacks resources to actually audit even the top 0.1% of earners to make sure they aren't doing anything funky..... Nevermind having the resources to audit any of the rest of us.... It's illegal!
No you cannot, you need to claim all, if not… that’s stealing!
Thank you! After all the comments and being a server I was starting to feel like I was going crazy!
Like you said, tip your servers accordingly and if not then don’t go the f out! Go through a drive thru instead!
And if you hate the tipping culture then try to change it! Don’t punish the servers for your selfish actions and beliefs for a service rendered! You don’t HAVE to be waited on… you chose that! So don’t choose to not tip that’s an asshole move and if you’re a regular even worse!
This is exactly me. I still tip you all. Even if the food sucked, I'm doing what I can to leave a tip.
I'd add a caveat for bad service, but honestly, I don't think I've met a server yet that deserved to not be tipped (aka, paid fairly for their service).
If you suck at your job, you won't have it very long. Server or not. Let's let the system work the way it does for everyone else. Ban below minimum wage wages for servers.
Once that happens, I can happily never tip again.
