Imagine being this proud about being this much of an asshole. Imagine thinking that wanting to get tipped is “millennial entitlement“ instead of literally the only fucking way that waitresses make money. What the hell dude? He doesn’t say anything about her being a rude server. What did she do to deserve you treating her like shit?
Why does not leaving a tip imply he treated her like a piece of excrement?
Why are tips the only way servers make money?
Why are servers the only service industry to expect a tip?
While I was never a server, I did work in the service industry.
In university, I pumped gas. For 3 very long years, +40 or -40, i was out there pumping gas. No one paid a tip, neither did I expect one, my employer paid me a wage that I agreed to and If I didn’t like my job, I was free to quit.
If the issue is substandard wages, then why frequent an establishment that under pays their employees? Why work there unless the expectation that we, the public, will pay them more. If it’s about being served, then shall we tip fast food workers? Coffee shop employees? How about your plumber or mail carrier?
So again, why does not tipping make a person a jerk. Isn’t the real jerk the employer who refuses to pay extra because they know that you will pay more so they don’t have to?
Dude, most servers literally make about two dollars an hour without tips. The restaurant industry is unique in that way (technically the restaurants are supposed to make up the difference if their servers don’t get tipped but plenty of wait staff will tell you it doesn’t always work out that way). I agree it’s very shitty way to run the business and it should change (in Europe for example most people don’t tip at restaurants because the servers are making at least minimum wage). It’s pretty common knowledge that waitresses do not get paid outside of tips so if you know this and decide not to tip then you are, in fact, an asshole.
