Select "Custom" and type 0.00 without breaking eye contact. Be careful, though, that 0.00 can quickly turn into 8.88 if you're not looking.

This was at a self-service kiosk, too, right?

If you can't afford living wages for your staff so they're not dependant on tips, your store shouldn't be open.

Everyone working a job should be making a living wage. "Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good. If it's not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn't exist. Period. I will die on this hill.

I don't know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don't have tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

Apologies, I'm not trying to say that that argument is true or has any basis in reality, more so that the argument is completely irrelevant

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Hamburgling used to be a decent profession. Now with such cheap burgers all those skilled workers are left out.

[–] Plasma@lemmy.ml 78 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If any place said a 30% tip is so so, I'm not tipping.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago

If I saw this I would give them exactly what I think they're worth. $0.01 and a bad online review.

[–] labbbb2@thelemmy.club 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Nice precedent for corruption

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 63 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (44 children)

10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It's a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is. Also, NEVER PRE-TIP. That is insane!

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

What's pre-tipping? A tip before you've even had service?

Its what you have to do these days if you want your uber to show up in a reasonable amount of time.

[–] tabularasa@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Pre-tipping is how rub and tug's work. For real.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 hour ago

I don't think 10-15% has been considered a reasonable tip for "above and beyond" since the 80s. Most will take that as an insult worse than not tipping, funnily enough.

As for pre-tips, they (intentionally?) design the checkout process such that if there's a pre-tip, there is no post-tip. It's basically a "don't spit in my burger" fee.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 39 points 6 hours ago

Pre-tip? I think that's called a bribe

Avoid joints that's "require" tipping.

Deny the parasite profit.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 48 points 7 hours ago (9 children)

Maybe the restaurants should pay their employees so customers don't have to pay them? I know it's a radical thought.

[–] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

I hate to break this to you, but the customer pays in all scenarios.

But, yes, the employer should pay a living wage and include their overhead costs into the price of the goods.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Especially because a lot of people in this thread seem to protest the tipping system by just not tipping. That only hurts the worker, y’all. It isn’t gonna change the system.
