The craziest thing to me are the places that have steadily raised the percentages for the default buttons. It's a percentage, it already accounts for inflation automatically πŸ˜‘

I just hit no tip and say thanks! And walk out. It's not difficult.

What are they going to do? Make a scene? I pray they would.

I'm sorry, you tell me what fucking service I'm tipping you for? Do you tip your plumber? Do you tip the attendant at a roller coaster at a theme park? Do you tip front desk attendant at a hotel? No...pray tell, why do you think you need a tip for pouring me two-hour old hot bean water? Did you grind it by hand at my request? Did you personally see to it that I received only the very best beans at ye Starbucks roasteries? No? Then fuck off.

Obligatory: Sir, this is a Wendy's....

It's not like they're ranting off topic. Also the joke is old.

[–] Alteon 1 points 5 months ago

It's me lol. And yes it is. I agree

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

It's extortion. You get the special cup they've been saving all day that the guy spat in if you don't tip.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago

Yeah but the wages of these employees haven't. Don't go making the employer raise their hourly rate!

So inconsiderate of you.

Yes! A 15% tip in 1980 should still be a 15% tip today. Not this 20-25% madness that they try to keep pushing.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

In the 90s at least, 15% was for EXCEPTIONAL service...

Now its 15% if they dont spit in your food....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I was told inflation is like 3% per year over the long term. You're a monster to not want them to have that!

A bunch of grocery stores have also eliminated the β€œbagger” job, leaving you to do it yourself, but then also ask for a tip! Store cut costs by paying their employees shit, heaping more work on them, and then asking you to give their poor ass employees some money. Give them the money you saved on eliminating the bag people!
