Tipping is why I carry cash for restaurants I don't need to let the server know the number of audible beeps I'm hitting on the machine as they loom over me to guilt me into that 25% tip for whatever ungodly reason exists on the machine.

if u are in :amerikkka: and u have the means please tip people whenever and wherever you can, if leaving a tip is an option it is likely because the person you're interacting with is being crushed under pitiful wages and astronomical expenses

We all are, hiding it doesn't help.

Bullshit as somebody dating a server a couple groups stiffing her is the difference between if it was worth it to go to work or not.

If you can't tip don't go to a sit down restaurant. The servers there are making less than minimum wage if you don't tip. If the server has to pay for childcare they can literally work all day and lose money if you've decided you're not going to tip

Seriously, if you can't afford to tip your servers at a sit-down restaurant (in places that pay below minimum wage for servers), then you can't afford to eat there. It's not some life hack, you're just being a piece of shit and the only thing you are accomplishing is fucking over your fellow worker. If you don't want to tip, don't eat at places with table service.

My brother is a waiter and I had to listen to a rant about how cheap people are by sometimes tipping "only" 20%. He works at a nice place too with large checks.
