I hope the rest of society gives you lower quality service every day since you're not tipping them... What a shit attitude
Also anyone who claims tipping results in better service has never left north america
I regularly get shit service here and still expected to tip 15%
Service in most of europe is WAY better and there is generally no expectation of a tip
I tip. Not sure where you got the impression that I don't. and not sure why you are wishing me a bad life.
Is this assumption made because I admitted to have worked as a waiter?
Do you tip your grocery store cashier? Do you tip your baker? Do you tip your mail carrier? Do you tip your garbageman? Do you tip your local librarian? Do you tip your child's teachers (if applicable)? Did you tip your lemmy instance admin? Do you tip your local city councillor?
If not, then you should expect shit tier service from them too
I dont wish you a bad life. I'm just pointing out how bad life would be if everyone had your attitude and work ethic
There is an established culture in the US in regards to tipping full service waitstaff. Good luck trying to break that culture without understanding the servers perspective, and why many of them defend the status quo.
It's clearly not as established as you think.... The goalposts keep moving. here are some (un)welcome changes i've noticed in my lifetime...
"this is the way it's always been done" is not only a stupid defense, but is totally false in this cse
