>pay $4 for half a coke can
>Pay $10 for a $1 potato

And restaurants still ask for $18% tip? If you buy drinks from a restaurant thats enough tip

>>21440573 (OP)
tips go to the underpaid employees, not the restaurant itself

>>21440573 (OP)
Then eat at home if you don't want to. I generally do. Tips are dumb but you're shooting yourself in the foot if you keep going out and doing it.

>>21440577
how can an establishment which upcharges cheap ingredients many times over NOT have the money to pay its employees?

>>21440609
>IF YOU DONT TIP, WELL JUST BE WARNED
Fuck off pussy, if you do shit to my food you'll be crippled.
I smash the no tip button on the stupid iPad with glee

yeah it's a big scam
one time in europe they asked me if I wanted sparkling or still water (bottles) and I asked if I could have tap water and they said no. lol. water is free wtf is their problem

also it's annoying when they have a pickup / takeout service and the wagie gets an attitude if you don't tip for walking the order to your car

>>21440612
Schizo post

>>21440609
Now that is quite the dilemma. Do you offer a tip for the hot waitress to spit in your food and risk creeping them out or do you not tip so they'll do it for free?

>>21440573 (OP)
poor psychopath detected.

>>21440641
I hope you die in agony and 15% more on top.

In Australia, venues have to provide free water

One time I asked for water at a place and he begrudgingly gave me a bottle of water because they didn't have any cups.

>>21440612
Way to completely misinterpret the post

>>21440573 (OP)
>I'll buy a drink with my meal in lieu of tipping.

That's profit to the owner, not money for the employee. Fucking retard.

>>21440612
You can't cripple an ant, chickenshit. You will eat my loogies and you'll do nothing. Glad you saved $3 you can put toward your discord dues.

>>21440987
How's that my fault, bitch? Surely the store upcharing 80-150% on sides and drinks can afford to pay its workers?

>"THE TIP WORKERS NEED THE MONEY ASSHOLE"

Imagine slipping a $10 to your Walmart cashier and telling him "I know you need it, pal".

Lmfao tip workers are essentially prostitutes

Have any of you retards ever seen a restaurant P&L? The margins are fucking awful.

>>21440987
I don't fucking care. Give me my food and don't rip me off.

>>21440987
Who does the employee work for

>>21440573 (OP)
I carry around a tip spinner, it's a big colorful roulette style thing I stole from an old board game and when I'm done eating I proclaim it's time for the tip spin and I invite people from other tables to come watch me spin, the tip can be 5%, 10%, 20% or even 50% but there are also 3 no tip spots. The tip spinner won't start spinning until everyone is chanting SPIN, SPIN, SPIN

>>21440611
Rent, taxes, utilities, wages for the non-tipped employees, supplies other than food.

>>21441224
If a company can't pay its expenses and living wages solely from the profits on its sales, that company does not deserve to exist

>>21441087
NOT
MY
PROBLEM

>>21441217
shit you should get the wagies in on it too

>>21440577
If the employees are underpaid then please contact the state or federal government, it is a serious crime to pay employees lower than the minimum wage.

>>21441217
as a waiter I would love this and wouldnt even be mad if I got 0

>>21440573 (OP)
Yes, if you want professionals to take your order, cook for you, bring your food, bus your table and do the dishes for you as well, all of that costs money. When it comes to quality, convenience, and cost saving, the best you can ever hope to do is two out of three.

>>21441217
Honestly yeah that seems like a fun game, I'd probably decrease the no tip spots but still.

>>21440573 (OP)
If it’s a sit down place I’ll tip, I didn’t have to go to a restaurant for my meal.
I won’t tip if it’s just me ordering food at a counter or picking up something like at grab and go places

>>21441471
>>21441217
Or better yet, roll a d20 for the tip
1-5: 0%
5-10: 10%
10-15: 20%
15-18: 25%
19: 35%
20: 50%

>>21441481
That said, if they give good service they're rolling with advantage

>>21441286
OOPS, All Illegals!

settle down, Shekelstein. Your hand rubbing is causing global warming.

>>21441701
go back to /r/politics with your vile filth

my popeyes opts out of the combos that don't include drink. they want to force a drink purchase. I hate the soda cartel

I know conservatism requires a certain degree of retardation to fall for, but you have to actually be defective to believe this or anything approximating it.

>>21441286
It's the law to lay them below minimum wage.
>>21442669
They get minimum wage, then tips displace wages down to $3/hr. So they always get minimum wage or above, but the employer is still pushing the cost of labor onto customers, instead of making a functional business.

Plus servers don't deserve tips anyways. It just a way to make boomers feel like they are more important, and to make younger generations suck up for money.
