It's not just the tipping part of our culture that's bad. The entire thing is rot.
maybe a revolution would be in order. :)
I’ve never seen anything above 30% suggested anywhere in the US. This is an extreme outlier and would make even people used to our crazy tipping culture balk.

Does anyone just not tip anymore if it's counter service? It does not require that much effort to take something from a glass case and give it to me.
If you're actively walking around, giving me and checking in on my meal, that's when I tip.
Full table service = tip Otherwise you’ll get nothing from me
It's an automatic $0 tip if I have 0 interaction with anyone but the cashier, that's for sure.
anymore
Never did.

custom
0%
If I saw those numbers it would be cancel then shop elsewhere
-100%
I'd cancel my order and leave.
I'd hit the custom button and leave my customary 20%. If course if they gave me any shit I would never return
error. must be between 150% and 1000%
For this? I'd hit the custom button and put in $0.02, and then tell them exactly why they're getting that tip. I only get "thank you!" if I double the cost of my order? fuck off. 30% is not a "so-so" tip, that's the upper end of the best tips I give.
Tip is a recognition of an excellent service, not a right. I would pay without any tip and leave some cash on the table if the service was good (few pounds usually).
Thats europe. In north america, waiters are paid below minimum wage and the tips are supposed to make up the rest.
15% i think is still what the gov expects for wages, so in theory thats for just plain service, forcing us to either hurt the waiter or pay the fee. It's a terrible system. I prefer to not eat out at all than to cut tips, even for poor service i'll leave 10% and won't go back.
Most people who work the service industry don’t claim cash tips, but credit tips are required to be claimed due to the whole being electronic and traceable thing.
If, as a service person, most or all tips are in cash, you just claim whatever brings you to minimum wage for that pay period.
This is obviously heavily dependent upon where you work - some places want you to claim all tips (but you still don’t claim cash usually) others, especially if you make above min wage like most bartenders, don’t care.
However, if you don’t claim those tips you can’t use that as income when taking out loans and applying for housing and whatever else. So it’s fucks people over pretty regularly.
a tipped employee who does that work for years will also see shit for social security later on, as that's based on your reported and taxed earnings.
Well yeah, if you dont declare all your income to dodge taxes, they shouldn't be surprised the income can't be used for credit. But if it's just cash then it's not traceable, you can declare less and keep more in your pocket than an electronic transaction
It also depends how the company declares their outgoing tips and contributions (different in US vs canada of even states/provinces).

Thats europe.
most of europe sneers at tipping.
We sneer at it too, but here it's built into people's wages. If i could vote to abolish it i would

Custom 0% it’s quite simple.
Americans, your tip coulture makes the rich richer. Having labour laws and unions in place, forcing the payment of a decent minimun wage and the extinction of tip culture would transfer the responsibility to the owner.
Edit: before you say "prices woild go up" 1- you alredy pay "up". 2- He can only go so much higher before he starts to loose clients.
Now is really not the time to be nitpicking the lesser points of American culture. We're kind of dealing with an existential crisis at the moment.

Fuck this place, if it’s real
I have seen this around multiple times. I really doubt that it is real. The whole working-for-tips system is messed up, thou, but the biggest I have ever seen recommended is 25%
thou
thy cant'est mean thou
Thou = though in this case I think.
well yeah but that's no fun
This business is so out of touch. Everybody knows "so-so" means the same thing as "okay".
Tips are legalized begging.
Accepting a job where your pay is partially based on tips, effectively makes you a beggar.
Offering a job where wages are partially based on tips, means you accept begging as part of your business model.
Edit:
To those who disagree, take a look at that picture again, and explain to me how that isn't begging for more?
This always infuriates me. If your employees need tips to get paid enough, they're just paid too little. Don't bash the customer, bash the boss! I worked in hospitality for years and tips are purely to show gratitude for better than expected service. If you think differently about this, then you're just brainwashed

terrible
In my area a few places I regularly visit have gone to 18% tip included. When they bring you the check they say an 18% tip is already included and all you have to do is sign the check. They are not looking for anything extra. I like this. I also appreciate that the bartenders and servers at these places tell you that the tip is already included. The worst are those that automatically include a tip but never tell you and unless you read it carefully you are tipping on the food and the already included tip
In my area a few places I regularly visit have gone to 18% tip included.
Seems like it would be better to just raise the prices 18% across the board and kill "tips" all together...
Custom: 10% because you didn't put the default 15% / 18% and gave me extra work
If the lowest percentage on the screen is 20% then you get nothing even if I was planning on giving 20%
Come on... Not realistic at all... Why is the Custom button not transparent? Or doesn't it allow to go lower than 30%?
Nah I'd succumb easily for "good" because I strive to be a good boy
In defense of this, I work on a service that uses square and allows tips. One of the issues with square tips is you can only ask for percentages, not dollar amounts. Since the service I work on usually costs $1-2, we have to put in high percentages for tips in order for it to be meaningful. I believe ours is set to 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Which is usually equivalent to <$2. They could have had a similar situation here except whatever service they offer ended up being far higher than normal.
Talk about licking the boot that's stomping you.
How can it even be profitable for a business to charge $2 for enough individual service to be tip worthy

If anything would start a workers right reform it would be the population stop with tipping. Because if people won't earn as much other than base salary, they will go under. It'll be painful for those affected at first, but it's relatively shor term and would spark a revolt. Let's make it real.
