Why is american tipping culture a thing?
Why is american tipping culture a thing?
It is to prove that you are not poor (capitalism) while at the same time forces you to pay the wages of waiters (socialism) on behalf of the restaurant owners.
The first half of what this fag said.
They want to fool themselves into thinking they are wealthy enough to be philanthropic. Like an old lord giving gifts to his slaves in order to feel superior and fake himself into thinking he is also kind, in a paternalistic way.
Tipping in the idea is for great service. Mandatory tipping defeats its entire purpose. Fucking retarded
Why is expensive healthcare a thing in the US?
Why student loans are a thing in the US?
Why small talk at the cash register line is a thing in the US?
Why the fuck they ask people "HOW ARE YOU?" if they don't give a shit?
Why every time you enter an electronics/clothing shop you get harassed by 10 salesmen who ask you if you need any help and follow you around everywhere like some bloodsucking vermin?
Why american showers are attached to the wall and don't have a hose?
Why americans always beat around the bush, say dumb shit and also get offended when you just say "no" or "yes"?
Why do americans speak so loundly you can hear them half a mile away?
>Why do americans speak so loundly you can hear them half a mile away?
Aren't italians known for being loud af?
Nah, there is a noticeable difference in volume. Maybe has something do with the fact that people used to talk to eachother when they were riding a horse or something
You WILL eat the bugs
what is this bug-eating meme
EAT. BUGS
How will they know if I am going to tip beforehand so they could ruin my date?
I don’t know, but if I have to guess, it’s brainwashing to allow restaurant owners to save money on wages while making patrons feel like they’re good people for doing the heavy lifting. It’s all a trick to keep people poor and stupid, same reason personal finances don’t get taught in school but social justice gets screamed into your ear no matter where you go.
> do a good job
Get more money.
> do a bad job
Get less money.
It’s not that complicated.
Then why do americans tip the waiter instead of the chef
Because the chef isn’t a wagie
If your black or another minority
how can you do bad job as a waiter? all you do is take the order and bring the food. if would do a bad job wouldnt that mean you don't bring the food?
>forces you to pay the wages of waiters (socialism) on behalf of the restaurant owners
they get paid like $15 an hour to deliver dishes by the restaurant owner, anything else is extra
keep in mind the minimum wage here is around £5.50 (shit always changes and depends on age too) and you wouldn't get paid anything over minimum wage to deliver dishes, there is no tipping culture here, food and rent is way more expensive here too
basically americans are crybabies but who knew right
Fast vs slow at taking order, bringing drinks + food. Refilling drinks, bringing bill.
Nnnoooooo you don’t understand, waitresses have to walk all the way to the kitchen to bring your plate of food to you, the chefs have it easy in that hot as fuck dirty kitchen keeping up with orders and sweating their balls off
there were some opinion piece like picrel more than a year ago during the height of the climate change activism
basically only braindead Zig Forumscels still use/remember this meme
Waiter was a job for ex-slaves unironically
Isn't it up for the chef how fast he prepares the food?
>Why the fuck they ask people "HOW ARE YOU?" if they don't give a shit?
>Why every time you enter an electronics/clothing shop you get harassed by 10 salesmen who ask you if you need any help and follow you around everywhere like some bloodsucking vermin?
these are valid complaints
the rest is just retarded shit, if you don't speak to random people how the fuck will you ever make friends you dipshit
>inb4college,school,job
everyone who isn't a NEET is a depressedcel that looks like they belong on Zig Forums, i only see chads in poor areas or as gangsters or CEOs anything else is subby
Yes. But if I’ve been sitting to 10 minutes and haven’t been served drinks or asked if I’m ready to order. You’re not getting a tip
And instead of demanding fixed higher wages, they demand tips.
Americans have capitalist tunnel vision. The problem is not the system, but you refusing to take part in the system that fucks them in the ass and fucks you in your wallet.
don't try to make him understand, he's american
Waiters make a lot of money tho
They why do they demand tips with threats to the hygiene of the restaurant and to your health?
Because the waiter is the one waiting on you so if they’re attentive they get a bigger tip, if not they don’t. The chef can’t be more or less attendant. He just cooks and if he was, you wouldn’t know anyway.
Not paying attention, getting your order wrong, not checking on you, being rude. There’s a million ways that waiters manage to be bad.
Nigga, nobody thinks the cook has it easy. You just don’t ever see them.
The tips are why they make a lot of money
are non americans really so poor and selfish that they dont understand the concept of giving your waiter more money based on their performance? theyd rather just have the restaurant charge more?
wtf
But why should the waiter get paid more doing for simply doing his job?
The mental gymnastics of mutts in this thread makes my brain hurt
It's up to the owner to pay for his staff. Not the customer. Are you niggas just tipping the waiter? Why not the entire staff? Why not extend this tipping scheme to entire workforce?
Btw why arent fast food workers tipped? They take the order and bring the food to the table also
when I delivered pizza for domino's people would sometimes tip me 10 or 20 dollars just to deliver them a single pizza and some breadsticks. they weren't even rich areas.
its funny : )
people like to be nice, bar owners, restaurateurs and similar realised their service were making tonnes of cash so they reduced wages. They pay less tax so now a tip is expected for service at all in the states
>giving your waiter more money based on their performance
Reality:
expected tip percentages
waiters threatening to rub your food in their hairy balls
restaurant owner doesn't have to pay as much
food prices are probably still the same
it provides an organic incentive for a service worker to do their job promptly and pleasantly
you will find in other countries that service is inferior on average
Tipping is based because you get rich people feeling generous who decide to overtip, making delivery and restaurant jobs pay way more than they would otherwise. I made the annual equivalent of $45k/yr while bartending in grad school. I think Americans who complain that they're being hurt by tipping tend to work less popular shifts at shitty restaurants.
unironically this
People who have never been more then 100 miles from home will deny it though.
You got it wrong. They are less pleasant because you're a tourist in other places. You can always tell they treat locals and tourists different
