THE BILL IS $107?!!!Am I tipping or is that protection money?Mother fricker, that better be the white board out front the s*x workers corner because if this is a restaurant, we are going to have to start calling them workaurant's.I might have treated meth addiction too harshly. They're still broke but they are at least skinny.Yall hate on tipping culture if you want, it's optional. I am not going to be treating food like it's an alchemist enchantment cast on some chicken. I'll watch the darn YouTube video and do the dishes. Frick anyone calling people broke for not paying a cable tv bill plate.

I work for myself as an esthetician and I stopped taking tips. I fricking HATE tipping and now that I work for myself I'm not giving 60% away. I hated asking for them (I didn't expect them, but because I've only ever worked for someone I didn't think about not accepting tips at first) but it made me uncomfortable and I hated it.

Going to go against the grain here - yes, the maths is wrong, and yes, 30% is an insane number, BUT, as the partner of someone who RELIES on tips, some of the comments here are just objectionable and misguided at best, cruel and completely out of touch at worst.People think this "anti-tipping movement" is somehow raging against the system and is going to lead to some sort of economic revolution where suddenly corporations are going to capitulate and change their model. This is delusional. It's the same kind of thinking that says "kicking out all them foreigners means more jobs for Americans - to go out into the fields to pick the crops".YES, the tipping policy that has infected literally everything is ridiculous and off-loading the responsibility of paying people adequately on to consumers. I agree it's ridiculous, and a lot of most new instances are stupid and I don't tip there either.But when it comes to hospitality, this system is too entrenched to change quickly. I come from a c...
