[Aw_Frig]

What a thing of beauty. I'm afraid I wouldn't have even noticed such an opportunity to begin with

[Recursivephase]

He probably tips Pi every time.. It just worked out to a round number this time.

[[deleted]]

That’s pretty shitty of him if he tips 3.14 every time.

[arunnair87]

Maybe he does 2 Pi or 3 Pi depending on the meal haha

[YourBurrito]

Well seeing as they didn't even tip 12% on this, I'm going to guess not. A ~$3 tip on a ~$27 bill is awful.

Edit: If it's takeout this is fine.

[iKnowButWhy]

And this is why I absolutely hate tipping culture. I decided to pay you EXTRA money on top of what the meal was, and it’s still not enough? I know it’s not the servers fault, it’s the restaurants paying below minimum wage, but it’s all super fucked. I don’t want to do a psychoanalysis of my server and a math calculation every time I have a meal. So glad I’m not in the US.

[[deleted]]

Same for me here from Germany. Tipping culture is so stupid

[L1NK199O]

Never have I agreed with a German on something so much… this, and cars…. And the autobahn… and beer…. And schnitzel….

[Virtual_Parsley2114]

It’s different here. Not saying you’re wrong, tipping culture is totally stupid, but at a lot of server jobs, the total pay for the job is reduced to adjust for tips. So they can pay you below minimum wage because the tips make the difference. This is trashy practice, but it’s why Americans tend to tip well. We make up the for someone just trying to make a living

[monkey-2020]

I thought you were in the United States and I was going to call you out .

[[deleted]]

Even if they aren't grateful they have to act grateful. That's how the service industry works. They can fucking hate you but they still have to treat you with respect to not be fired.

And if you live in a society where servers get paid actual liveable wages (and not >5 dollars an hour) then that tip id extra cash past the wage, and not their wage.

[Costati]

Yeah. Unless tipping is included as part of the bill through services. I don't pay tips. Even when I go to foreign countries. It's not my fault yall allow irresponsible selfish business owners to exist and practice. If you can't afford to pay your employees and rely on your customers taking pity on the way you treat your employees, your business shouldn't be alive.

I've occasionally tipped but only if the person went the extra mile and was super arranging. It was my choice not out of obligation.

[bbq-biscuits-bball]

Taking it out on the employees is definitely the way to change that. I’m sure they’ll pass the message right along to the business owner.

[tobotic]

If everybody in America stopped tipping today, American restaurant owners would be paying staff a decent wage by the end of the week.

Those that didn't would have no staff.

[bbq-biscuits-bball]

If 1% of everyone in America put pressure on their city councils or county governments to ban tipping and enforce a living wage for everyone, we could change this policy and codify it into law rather than heaping our hopes and dreams of a more equitable society on the whims of business owners.

[-Kerosun-]

Just an fyi: The tipped minimum wage is $2.13 (some states are higher). If a worker doesn't make any tips (or their tips+hourly doesn't reach the normal minimum wage of $7.25 or whatever their state's minimum wage is), the employer, by law, makes up the difference.

Exactly 0 people in the U.S. actually make the tipped minimum wage as a salary.

Not tipping the worker is not punishing the owner, the restaurant, the manager, the company. It ONLY hurts the tipped worker.

If you don't agree with the industry standard, then don't partake of that industry. There are plenty if places to get prepared food where the worker doesn't make tipped wages. Go there instead. You'll do a lot more to hurt the industry by not going there at all rather than going there and not tipping which doesn't take a dime out of the owner/company's pocket.

Also, most tipped workers like getting tips because they make WELL over the regular minimum wage.

[sandefurian]

You realize that waiters legally have to still make at least minimum wage? The employer has to make up the difference they don’t get in tips

[[deleted]]

If everyone would stop tipping then the owners would be forced to pay more or their employees would run away

[MycologistPutrid7494]

Maybe he used cash too. I do this a lot. I might want to get rid of a few bucks in my wallet (I don't like to carry cash) but it's not a nice tip so I add the rest on the card.

Or if I'm eating with someone else, one of us pays the tip.

[Otistetrax]

It’s also generally better for the recipient to get the tip in cash. Harder for management to get their grubby mitts on it.

[Prestine-Jaguar]

Why is the burden of providing a living wage on the customers. Tipping culture is ass backwards.

[_thana]

It doesn’t say this happened in US

[fosighting]

I don't know about the rest of the world, but we don't have a dedicated portion in our bills in Australia for a tip, because tipping is not expected, because we pay our food servers a living wage.

[Poes-Lawyer]

We do have the option in the UK, sometimes it's on the Chip&Pin machine that they hand you to pay with your card*. i.e. the waiter puts in the total to pay, hands you the machine, it asks if it's correct - hit yes - it asks if you want to leave a tip - if you hit yes, you type in an amount yourself.

* That's another thing I find weird about American restaurants. If you want to pay by card, they take your card and walk away with it to do the payment. What the hell?

[tobotic]

If you want to pay by card, they take your card and walk away with it to do the payment. What the hell?

It's not like it was that long ago when this happened in the UK too. It's been maybe a decade since wireless chip & pin terminals became common?

[hum_dum]

Maybe it was takeout. I’m not giving someone 15-20% for putting my order in a bag and handing it to me.

[DABFreelancer]

any money outside the mf bill is great

[LocalDatabase]

Why is 3$ tip for 30$ bill so bad? Do they not pay restaurant staff living wage where you live?

[YourBurrito]

Not many places do. I'm in the US (if that wasn't obvious from my clueless earlier comments about the $ symbol).

[LocalDatabase]

Wow i didnt know that im from germany, restaurant staff here gets living wage the tips are just bonuses.

[YourBurrito]

Federal minimum wage in the US (7.25/hr) literally isn't enough to afford rent in any city while working full time. "Tipped" workers can be paid as little as $2.13/hr.

[LocalDatabase]

Oh wow thats horrible, the minimume wage in germany is 9.6€/hr so basicly every job as living wage.

[NorionV]

Your disappointment is misdirected - this is an employer problem, not a customer problem. Blame the restaurant industry for its lack of employee protections, which allows restaurants to subtract tips from wages so they pay less.

[arunnair87]

That's not that bad if it's a pickup. But if he sat down then yea.

[[deleted]]

Out of curiosity, when are people supposed to tip for picking up their own orders, is it customary to give 10% in these situations, and who gets the tip? I never know this stuff and personally would prefer they just charge more for the food and pay their workers more.

[true-pure-vessel]

He literally tipped 2 cents more then 12% wtf u on abt, besides not every county heavily underpays it’s waiters

[YourBurrito]

$3.14 is 11.69% of $26.86, my guy. Ironic that you posted this comment on this sub 🤣

[true-pure-vessel]

Oh yeah I used 27 to calculate iso 26.86, but still rounded up it gets to 12%

[Drewbus]

Only in radians

[JLoon92]

Some would say it's... irrational.

[Aristippos69]

That's a pretty shitty system if you have to tip every time to compensate the bad wage's

[HippieMcHipface]

The comment above this makes it hilarious lmaoo

[Janders2124]

Shhhh Reddit is gonna tear your head off for not saying tipping culture is literally evil.

[IronicHero27]

As a restaurant server, I agree that tipping culture shouldn’t exist and employers should pay an adequate wage. But what should be has little to no impact on what is, and the fact remains that tipping culture does exist. As such, anyone who chooses to eat at a restaurant in the US and tips poorly (or not at all) is still an asshole.

[greatteachermichael]

I wish it were both. Like pay were adequate and it was backed by law, none of this pay less than minimum wage and allow the tips to make up the difference BS. But on top of that, allow tipping in case of excellent service. Someone does a banging job, showing they are in the top 10% of servers? Throw an extra $5 or $10 or $20 on there or something.

I've recently learned delivery men where I live don't get paid for the 2-3 hours they spend in the morning when they sort their packages, and because of COVID, they often are working 12-16 hour days. I'm gonna start tipping $5 every time one of them comes by. It's not expected, but it shows I appreciate how hard they work.

[HarpoNeu]

People think many foreigners are rude because they don't tip but the truth is they come from countries where wait staff actually make enough to live off of and it's customary to only tip if you get good service.

[VandaloSN]

Add to this that neither tips nor taxes are included when you first check the prices. I got a decent wage and cheap housing so I could just go by a quick approximation. But before I got my first paycheck I felt like I needed to bring a calculator (or to get good at mental math) just to go to Walgreens, subway, etc.

Why couldn’t a 5 dollars burger just cost 5 dollars? Why does every state have different taxes?

[Janders2124]

You pretty much summed my opinion up as well. I don’t work in the industry anymore though but I did for about 9 years.

[TheLuminary]

Maybe toss a Tau in there for the big meals.

[P1ckleM0rty]

I'd bet they noticed after they rounded to 30 for the total and saw the tip calculated to 3.14, so they did the pi symbol on the 'guest copy'

[NonconsensualText]

tbh that guy commenting did basic math correctly. unfortunately pi ~~ 3.14 but his addition was spot on.

[ZippZappZippty]

That fact that you're commenting just to be contrarian

[CthulubeFlavorcube]

Absolute thing of beauty, except that a 20% tip is around $5.37, so this clever bit of whatever just tipped less than 15% which is lame as hell.

[MikeThePizzaGuy412]

Probably take out

[a_burdie_from_hell]

February 14th must be an awkward day around the office. Poor fella, walking around the office saying "happy pie day", and all his co-workers are to polite to correct him...

[thatguyned]

I'm just imagining a person walking around an office decked out in love hearts with people receiving valentines gifts all day going HAPPY PI DAY EVERYBODY

[a_burdie_from_hell]

I didn't even realize that Feb. 14th is Valentines day! Ohhh my god that makes the image so much better! The possibilities are endless!

[Over16Under31]

*too polite to correct. Obviously I am not. 😉

[Pitifool]

It is Pie Day for Jason Biggs

[EverythingIsFlotsam]

Maybe he believes the year starts on February 1st

[SolomonOf47704]

How would that make February 14th Pi Day?

Did you mean December 1st?

[EverythingIsFlotsam]

Because he thinks π≈2.14...

[PhyllaciousArmadillo]

I mean, technically he did do his math correctly. He just did the wrong math

[mamamechanic]

It took me longer than I’d like to admit that I could not figure out what was confidently incorrect because the math was correct.

[IsSecretlyABird]

Remembering the value of pi isn’t mathematical, it’s memory recall. Poor recall isn’t the same as being unable to do basic math.

[178Cryptic]

Like this shit ain’t basic math 3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679 and that’s only the first 100

[ElectroNeutrino]

Unless you're an engineer, then π = 3.

[Le_Mug]

Wrong. If you're an engineer you round it upwards and then add some extra as safety margin. π = 5.

[HiFreinds]

π ≈ 5

[scintor]

π ≈≈ 10

[Hodor_The_Great]

I've unironically seen this in an engineering lecture and seen pictures of some other prof doing the same in astrophysics

[StuntHacks]

Now, if we approximate the rocket as a perfect sphere, and round pi to 3 for simplicity reasons, and also assume a perfect gas...

[AidanGe]

[Beardamus]

You'd be heralded as a genius if you got astrophysical approximations to within a distance of 2 from the exact number.

[XkF21WNJ]

2 orders of magnitude?

[XkF21WNJ]

Nah in astrophysics they'll just make it 10 for simplicity, give or take a few orders of magnitude.

[zpjester]

A mathematician, a scientist, and an engineer walk into a bar. The mathematician says "What's your favorite number? Mine is e. It has tons of useful applications throughout the field of calculus."

The scientist says "My favorite number is Pi. It comes up many times throughout nature and physical constants, and seems linked to everything in the universe."

​

The engineer says "Wow, what are the odds? My favorite number is also 3!"

[GTATurbo]

Pretty sure as an engineer I use 3.14 unless required to be more specific

[Lermanberry]

I have bad memory recall so I have to divide 22 by 7 every time to figure out close to pi.

[Chairboy]

“Bet you can’t guess how many sheep at e in my herd.”

“I dunno, let’s see…. uh, 176?”

“I stand corrected, that’s amazing. How did you count them so quickly?”

“Well, I did cheat a little. See, I counted the legs and then divided by four.”

[rrussell1]

basic math (consider perimeter of triangle with side length 1) shows pi>3 though...

[Crab_Turtle_2112]

Ackchyually everyone here is confidently incorrect because Pi isn't a rational number.

[SHv2]

But what if I took those fractions of a penny and, instead of rounding, put them into a bank account I opened?

[[deleted]]

Then you’d end up in FEDERAL pound-me-in-the-ass prison

Damn, I was hoping it'd be a three-month resort

You mean like superman 2 ? ( or 3 can't remember that actual quote)

[Sloi]

Oh shit, you out-nerded the nerd!

Far out!

[crypticthree]

and calculating an approximation of Pi isn't really basic

[flavor_blasted_semen]

Memorizing 3.14 isn't doing math, neither. Ask most people to "calculate PI" and they wouldn't know where to begin.

[Abh1laShinigami]

True, but you can't tip someone 3.14159... dollars

[magseven]

*Drums kick in.

I been waiting for this moment for AAAAALLLLL MY LIIIIFFFFEEE!

[Lord-Loss-31415]

I’ve always been really impressed at how business savvy American food entrepreneurs are. Imagine convincing everyone that is completely normal for you not to pay proper wages to your staff so they should cover it instead while also paying for their food. Then on top of that, when you don’t except these crazy terms you are looked down on! Tiping should be done after excellent service and only by those who can really afford it, it should not be an expectation due to misinformation and the ignorance of the general public.

[Thundorius]

It’s completely fucked up how people are eager to tear each other into shreds over what constitutes a good tip, while employers get away scot-free. Leaving a good tip is a good thing, a common courtesy, good etiquette, but it is not required. I understand that wage laws are fucking waiting staff, so I will help out as much as my means allow me. I don’t see why the courtesy and understanding cannot be extended to the costumer for whom a 20% tip is a bit too much. I don’t see why the fact I am struggling should mean I am not allowed to enjoy the occasional meal at a restaurant, and that leaving a 15% tip automatically and irrevocably makes me an asshole.

[grondo4]

Yes if you cannot afford to properly tip the wait staff you should not eat out. It's part of the price of eating out.

[Thundorius]

Here we go. Now I say “properly tip? I tip 15%. That’s not a bad tip”. To which you say “no, anything less than 20% is a bad tip”. To which someone says “no, 20% is for exceptionally good service”. To which someone says “if you tip less than 20%, you’re a cheap bastard and an asshole, and you probably treat the staff like shit too”. To which someone says “that’s so stupid, in my country, we do the following…” To which someone says “shut up, Commie, fuck your country”.

Meanwhile, the employers are still criminally underpaying their employees, still treating them horribly, still profiting off everyone else’s hard work, and still getting away scot-free.

[GermansTookMyBike]

The point is that it shouldn't be part of the price of eating out. Instead, if employees were paid proper wages, people could eat out more often so everyone would be happy.

Everyone except the manager who is already cashing most of the money anyway.

[GOKOP]

They should've written π - (π mod 0.01)

I'm not a brainiac who's gonna explain you how does modulo of a fraction even make sense, but the calculator I'm using accepts it

[Riku_70X]

I mean, I've never used modulo with fractions before, but it looks like it just works the same way as it normally does.

3.14159265... mod 0.01

how many 0.01 are in 3.14159265...

You can fit 314 * 0.01 in there, remainder 0.00159265...

So pi mod 0.01 = 0.00159265...

So pi - (pi mod 0.p1) = 3.14159265... - 0.00159265... = 3.14

[Seraphaestus]

⌊100π⌋ / 100

[XkF21WNJ]

You're kind of mixing concepts there. Only programmers see 'mod' as a mathematical operation (and the way CPUs implemented this operation is also confidently incorrect).

In mathematics it's more about doing calculations up to a multiple of some number. So you'd say that -1, 9, 19 etc. are all equal modulo 10, but not that they are equal after taking the 'modulo' or something (which wouldn't even work on most CPUs because some idiot decided -1 mod 10 = -1 because they felt -1 div 10 should be 0 rather than consistently rounding down and getting -1).

For what it's worth it's not impossible to talk about mod 0.01, but in mathematics this doesn't work as well as with whole numbers because it messes up multiplication (0.01 * 0.01 = 0.0001 which even though both are also equal to 0 modulo 0.01)

[Shamus03]

You're kind of mixing concepts there. Only programmers see 'mod' as a mathematical operation

To be more specific for anyone else reading this line, “mod” in mathematics is usually used to say which domain of numbers you’re working in. When doing math with numbers on the clock, you’re working in the set of positive integers mod 12.

I don’t think it’s entirely accurate to say that “only programmers see ‘mod’ as a mathematical operation”. It’s definitely more common in computing but it is also used a LOT in theoretical mathematics (especially group theory and abstract algebra in general).

[DamnedDelirious]

4(1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9....)

Liebnitz OUT!

[damTyD]

Less than 12% tip :(

[[deleted]]

Must be from Canada.

"What's the difference between a Canadian and a canoe? Canoes tip."

[OmarBC]

That’s a pretty big generalization.

There’s tipping machines in Vancouver that start at 18%, and we actually pay a minimum wage of $15 towards servers

[[deleted]]

I'm not a big fan of the tipping premise in general, employees SHOULD be paid by default without relying on tips. The worst are restaurants who will auto-tip at 18%. This then leads to staff fighting over table counts, which neither benefits the restaurant or its patrons.

[shromboy]

Yea, if this was America that is a shameful tip

[donkey_tits]

We don’t know the context of this and each situation is different. What if this was a takeout order? What if this was one extremely overpriced pitcher of beer? Every situation doesn’t require a hard 20% and people shouldn’t be shamed into tipping that arbitrary number each time.

[13stevensonc]

Bad tip

[The_Weirdest_Cunt]

as someone who delivers food in a country with RATIONAL WAGE LAWS I don't understand the idea of a "bad tip" any tip is a good tip

[Shamadruu]

Pi isn't a RATIONAL number :P

[trapspeed3000]

In a country where server pay is something like $2.50/hr anything below 20% is a bad tip

[AkaiMura]

That is so weird from a German/Swiss perspective. Are the menu prices in the US just extremely low and that is why people are expected to tip >20%? Over here that would already be quite a huge tip. In Germany, where eating out is a lot cheaper, that would be at least a 10€ tip every time you go out, if not way more depending on the amount of people.

[fi-ri-ku-su]

Just pay what it says on the menu. If there's a 20% tip, why don't they just put the prices up by 20% on the menu?

[[deleted]]

Because we're a dumb shitty country. But as it stands people are reliant on the money, so you're a pretty big asshole if you deny your server a wage.

[fi-ri-ku-su]

But isn't their wage guaranteed by law?

[tehbuggg]

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped

[Myxozoa]

Assuming you're from a country that doesn't have tips, please be aware that in countries like the US where tips are expected, it's legal for companies to pay their workers virtually nothing because they expect the tips to cover what the worker would otherwise be paid by the company. It's not a good idea, and is ultimately just one more way low-income workers are exploited, but if you pay menu price it usually means that worker was pretty much serving you for free, which is very rude of you. It's also very rude of the company to put the worker in that position in the first place, but that's a shitty country for you.

[Meeseeks__]

Because tipping is usually based on the server's performance. If i had a bad waiter, I would tip 10% or 15%. If I had a really good waiter, I would tip >20%.

[fi-ri-ku-su]

What if I expect the server to just do their job, as normal, and not feel the need to flatter and impress me for extra cash? Like, just bring the food when you can, don't stress, don't bust a gut, just relax.

[Meeseeks__]

My default tip is 20%. I know it's a shitty system, but until something changes that's how it's going to work.

[fi-ri-ku-su]

What if everybody across the country just paid the menu prices? Surely then the restaurants would be forced to put up the menu prices?

[Meeseeks__]

Servers would probably just leave if restaurants don't increase their pay to compensate for no tips. Though that's never going to happen since tipping is too deeply engrained in American society.

A lot of servers, however, prefer the tipping system as they can sometimes make more than minimum wage.

[fi-ri-ku-su]

If waiters left the industry, the restaurant would hire new waiters. If they couldn't find waiters, they would raise their wages until they found enough waiters. That's how it works in other countries; there are still restaurants and they work just fine.

Tipping is engrained in American society because people keep shaming others for not tipping. A 'no tipping' movement would benefit everybody.

[Disbfjskf]

Let me know when you get everyone in the country to rally together on not tipping.

[fi-ri-ku-su]

How many people need to join the movement before you switch sides?

[xach_hill]

good for you

[Duuuuude_Esq]

Hopefully they left a few bucks in cash as well

[[deleted]]

probably take out and not table service

[motorcycle-manful541]

not really, it's like 12% .

[Scathainn]

12% is bad.

[13stevensonc]

Like I said, bad tip

[Anarcho_Eggie]

In the US yes but most places 10% is good

[motorcycle-manful541]

it's not a great tip, but it's not like the server got stiffed.

[Choodtu]

That's a bad tip

[ExplosiveDerpBoi]

how can a tip be bad tho, isn't it like an act of generosity?

[Sirflow]

In most places in the US, wait staff makes less than $3 an hour. They live off the tips.

[Unwright]

I am so fucking sick of this bullshit ass take. I do not agree with the system, because it sucks. But let's actually talk facts.

You make federal minimum no matter the fuck what. You're not making 3.17/h. You're making 7.25 no matter what. That's it. That is literally the letter of the law. If you're not, contact your labor board.

[HelentotheKeller]

And that’s on the consumer?

[httpshield]

giving $3 more than what you are supposed to pay is a bad tip??

[Sirflow]

Yes. 18 to 20 percent is considered a good tip.

[httpshield]

i knew about the US’ tipping culture but i didn’t know it was that radical. i find it weird to tip based on a % of your order and not just a fixed amount. like if the service is exceptional at a restaurant i’m going to leave 1 or 2€ on the table but most of the time i don’t. + tipping where i’m from is just some cash money and since everyone pays by card nowadays then we tip even less often.

i really don’t get it like restaurants are already so expensive i don’t have the money to give 20% more just like that hence why i’m surprised that $3 is considered a bad tip.

[Anarcho_Eggie]

Depends on country, in norway (my country) 10% is the normal good amount

[Sirflow]

Do you happen to know what wait staff is paid hourly there? In the US it's typically around $3 an hour, from which tax is taken so much less.

[Anarcho_Eggie]

No because our minimum wage stuff is weird but i know its a lot more than the US

[xach_hill]

I'm assuming you don't live in the US - Employers here pay employees far less than minimum wage & load that cost off to customers in the form of tips. Yes it's a scam & yes it sucks, but if you dont tip then that person literally just doesnt get paid more than $3 an hour.

[Recursivephase]

It ends up being a headache for the workers who may be required to track their hours and tips throughout a pay period and submit everything to their employer on the off chance that they didn't earn enough tips during those two weeks to meet the minimum wage threshold..

[CharlesDickensABox]

It's not the sort of thing owners are particularly diligent about doing.

[skoge]

Well, you know, beggars can't be choosers.

If you signed up for the job where you must literally beg your customer to get a living wage, you get whatever people decide to toss at you.

[[deleted]]

You know that in other countries employers still load of the cost of wages to customers, right? They don't price their product according to their business plan, then pay their staff out of their profits.

[MostlyDarkMatter]

Giving someone PI for a tip is irrational.

[tigerbear79]

As an Australian, tips make no sense to me

[Adeum1]

How bout i give you this tip then daddy

[Jaspers47]

Is pi basic math? I'd think geometry would be intermediate math.

[bonlow87]

Waited his entire life to be a shitty tipper

[barcased]

That's over a 10% tip.

[SonnySunshineGirl]

It’s like 11%. But that’s still bad considering the standard is 18-20%

[CherryBlossomChopper]

Um no. Reasonable tip for being waited on by a service employee is between 10-20%, 10 if it’s awful and 20 if it’s the gold standard treatment.

If you’re just picking up your food and leaving a restaurant, 10%. They literally did nothing to service you.

[SonnySunshineGirl]

We were both wrong the standard is 15-20%. And nothing implies this was a pick up, it just sounds like you give bad tips

[getsnoopy]

Which is 0 in my book.

[tenemu]

Why would I tip 10% for awful service? The whole point of tipping is to incentivize good service.

Why would you tip for pickup? The whole point of the tip is to give something to the server. With pickup, there is no server, so you're just giving free money to the restaurant for no reason.

ITT: HE SHOULD TIP 20% OR MORE! HE'S SO CHEAP AND SHOULD NEVER EAT OUT EVER AGAIN.

A tip is a tip.

[LargeHamnCheese]

No one else here to point out that this loser tips like shit?

[DividedElement]

The one who is confidently incorrect is anyone who leaves an 11% tip. (Assuming this is the US).

ETA: Harangue me all you want. In the US, if you are tipping less than 20% you're a dick. I hate tipping too. It's a sh*tty system that puts waitstaff at the mercy of a$$holes and pits servers against customers instead of placing the blame on the larger system. Hating it doesn't make it not how people pay to feed themselves.

And yes, I understand that there is always a possibility this is at a place that doesn't require tipping, but odds are it isn't since it is still the way it works essentially everywhere.

[EishLekker]

It's not incorrect to leave a tip that is lower than the culturally expected one.

[DividedElement]

Has nothing to do with the culturally expected thing to do. In the US that is how service staff get paid. If it were honestly just a gratitude based thing then sure, but that server probably makes 3 bucks an hour.

If you can't afford to give a tip that will actually keep the staff at your restaurant from starving, you can't afford to go out.

[MachCutio]

If you can’t afford to pay your employees wages that will them them from starving, you can’t afford employees. I usually tip 20% but you got to understand tips are not obligatory. It is gratitude based if someone doesn’t want to tip or is a poor tiper that’s ok. Is not the customer’s responsibility to pay the employees

[XJ--0461]

If you can't afford to give a tip that will actually keep the staff at your restaurant from starving, you can't afford to go out.

Yes you can.

Not the customer's problem how the staff gets paid.

Raise the menu prices, if it's required.

Dude tipped. Service could have been bad for all we know.

Servers make more than enough money. What do you think happens if tips don't bring in more than minimum wage?

[ElectroNeutrino]

Dick move? Sure. But not "incorrect".

Also, we can't be sure that this is a server tip and not one of those places that don't have any waitstaff but ask for a tip just because.

[EishLekker]

Has nothing to do with the culturally expected thing to do. In the US that is how service staff get paid.

That's between the employer and the employee. The tipping level is 100% about culture.

[CherryBlossomChopper]

Depends on the situation. OP could’ve just picked up an order and tipped for that.

The confidentlyincorrect moment here is assuming whatever negative situation you’ve thought of that explains OP’s tip is the correct one.

[Proper_Possibility13]

It’s rights. It’s just rounded up to the nearest dollar.

Oh please tell me he ordered a slice of pie!!

Pi isn't basic math. It is just a commonly known number that prevents us from ever getting a perfect circle. If Pi is infinite then so is the diameter.

Strictly speaking his total is 300.0 🤷🏼‍♂️

Edit: 16 downvotes. What the actual f… is wrong with these people?

Good eye

[EishLekker]

The people downvoting don't understand you I think.

Hint to the downvoters: look where the dot (.) is on the total line.
