What about at McDonalds? How much should I tip for a $5 meal?
Wait, you guys haven't been tipping your McDonalds drive-thru cashier 15%?
please explain why Ineed to voluntarily give my hard earned wages to someone else who chooses to remain in this profession?
Tipped workers are the ones holding back wages because they can make much more as tipped workers. And why should the waiter who carries the food to you get 20% of the total, while the cook who prepared the food and the dishwasher who washes the plates and the cleaner who cleaned the place get 0%? This is just ridiculous entitlement.
Yep, thanks guy - there's a reason servers don't fight harder for eliminating tipping. Most days they can barely put in an order correctly, why did anyone ever expect class solidarity?
RIP antiwork

Not a lie but mostly inaccurate. Servers take the order and deal with all customer service related issues. They get paid minimum wage plus gratuity. At the end of their shift, they tip out the bartender, barbacks, and busboys 10-20% of their earnings. The cook staff typically make at least $5 more an hour over minimum wage and are usually the workers doing full 8 hour shifts instead of the typical 4-hour shifts that servers and bartenders typically do. I've bartended and know people running restaurants and they have a hard time finding kitchen staff while offering $20 an hour plus $1-$2k signing bonus.
Here's the thing with tipping. If you want McDonald's style customer service then never tip because that's what you'll eventually get.

I’ve done neither, but waiting tables and dealing with angry customers has to be a lot worse and has to require less autism than standing in place and washing dishes.
