I can't tell you exactly when it changed, but tip standard has been 20% for quite a while. 15% was at least 15 years ago. Are you by any chance in your 70's? Because that was the norm in the heyday of their youth.
Bullshit. 10% was standard well into 2000s with 15% being standard from like ~2008 onwards. 20% was definitely not ‘standard’ until Covid. I will not be gaslit on this by a bunch of Reddit servers.
I have no problems with servers irl but the ones on reddit have probably the biggest chips on their shoulders out of any profession. Serving is a low skill job, if they had an actual wage they would make like 15 bucks an hour unless they worked at a Michelin restaurant or something.

Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

100% would rather my tips go to a line cook’s coke habit because they work far harder than any server and they get paid shit.
