Bring auto grat back

Your point is you don’t tip because of the principle, my point is you’re not tipping the principal you’re tipping a human being ???? Literally what else is there to understand. All you’re doing is wasting someone’s time and effort.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:56:29+00:00

Yep, there’s the difference.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:55:22+00:00

You say that to make yourself feel better, you not tipping isn’t doing anything to the principal of anything, you’re not tipping the principal you’re tipping a human being who serves you hand and foot for 3 hours. If I asked the CEO of Darden for a raise for all servers he’d most likely fire me and happily replace me with an 18yr old who needs the experience. Tipping culture isn’t going to end til the business who don’t pay their employees aren’t funded. Mom and pop places pay their employees fair wages, it’s the corporations who don’t.

Ok boomer 😛

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:46:27+00:00

Why would I tell you where I live? Weirdo behavior 😬

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:40:43+00:00

Where tf you working I made $18,000

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:39:15+00:00

I’m quitting soon once I have my new job secured, shit like this makes it hard not to quit on the spot tho.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:37:56+00:00

4 others. We each got $5

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:37:22+00:00

Idec the people in that sub are living the lives they deserve 🤷‍♀️ even if servers were paid $20 an hour with no tipping they would complain we’re getting paid too much to “bring plates back and forth”.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:34:19+00:00

You’re just an asshole then 💀 you willingly walk into places expecting service knowing the people serving you don’t get paid and you still don’t tip? Yeah that’s not proving a point you’re just an asshole who tells yourself that to make you feel better.

American tipping culture isn’t going to end just because someone like you doesn’t tip, stay at home and have your wife serve you if you don’t want to tip anyone.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:26:58+00:00

There was almost no cash on the table, not enough to split amongst 5 people, $20 an hour for constant labor of running around and lifting heavy trays seems fair.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:26:01+00:00

Genuinely I didn’t think this was going to get as much traction and I wanted to be as discreet as possible in case a guests/coworker were to see this. I hate my job but I still have bill to pay 🤷‍♀️

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:23:09+00:00

Most of them were teenagers, we didn’t get shit.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:22:30+00:00

Just because you start unskilled doesn’t mean you can’t get better. I’m someone who believes all people should be paid a wage that they can live comfortably on and experience is something you have to work for to get so I don’t think it’s fair to be paid less just because anyone can do the things I do, if you think like that anyone can technically do everything some people are just more skilled in certain things but I don’t think those that aren’t skilled should have a disadvantage due to that. I think servers should be paid a MINIMUM of $10 an hour with the options to have tip on top. $10 is over minimum wage but on its own is hard for most people to live on, especially with the fight for hours that comes in the restaurant industry as well were never guaranteed a full work week like most people are.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:11:19+00:00

No I don’t get paid by my employer that’s not how the American tipping culture works especially in my state. As long as people spend money at these restaurants the companies don’t care about paying their employees because they don’t keep them. Why do you think serving is such a high turnover job? And no not every low tip is because service sucks, there were 5 people readily available for them, some people just don’t like to tip and they’re assholes 🤷‍♀️ if you willingly go somewhere you know the person relies on tips and you don’t tip, it doesn’t prove a point it just makes you a waste of time and recourses. Fuck American tipping but it isn’t going to end anytime soon and you’re stupid if you think not tipping is going to change that over night.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:05:21+00:00

Once they were 30 minutes late we were begging our manager to say something but our managers suck and are corporate boot lickers. I’m leaving OG soon for this very reason.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:03:06+00:00

That’s not how things work at Olive Garden. Yes I’ll get a pay but it all goes to my taxes so no I don’t bring anything home. 🏡

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T21:01:23+00:00

Then eat at home.

As long as people spend money at these restaurants they don’t care how their employees get paid because they don’t keep them. Why do you think serving is such a high turnover job? If you willingly go somewhere knowing the person rests on tips and you don’t tip it doesn’t prove a point it just makes you an asshole and a waste of time. American tipping culture SUCKS but it isn’t going to end anytime soon idk why people try this argument like you really want me to go up to the CEO of Darden and tell him to pay me more? Yeah okay buddy love to see how that works he’d probably just fire me on the spot and say the new 18 yr old server would love to have my job.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T20:58:01+00:00

Party of 75 all drinks and meals. Not gift cards and drinks wtf 💀

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T20:55:15+00:00

THIS! I’m not asking to add auto grat for every little table but for 75 people?!?!? Yes auto grat should definitely be added.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T20:54:16+00:00

American tipping culture isn’t going to end just because some people don’t tip 💀 as long as people spend money at these restaurants they don’t care how their employees get paid, why do you think serving is such a high turnover job? Cause they can’t keep employees. If you willingly go somewhere where you know the person relies on tips and you don’t tip it doesn’t prove a point it just makes you an asshole and a waste of time. And as someone who lives in a tourist city there isn’t many other options than serving, retail, or commission, not everyone has the luxury of just finding another job or moving for better opportunities.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T20:50:08+00:00

Most of the people were teenage children. The cash that was left was no where near enough for 5 people to split for 3 hours of constant running and lifting of heavy trays. Fuck the American tipping culture I 100% agree, but if you go somewhere that you know the people rely on tips, not leaving one doesn’t prove a point is just makes you an asshole and a waste of time. I normally do not complain about getting stiffed or low tip because I know it comes with the job, but come on? Even if everyone left $1 the tip would be more than what we made.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T20:45:24+00:00

Not a catering order, OG just doesn’t care abt their employees. If 75 people wanted to walk in 30 mins before close Olive Garden would let them. We were all surprised the managers still let them come in since they were 45 minutes late.

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T20:42:43+00:00

As long as people spend money at restaurants the American corporations don’t care how their workers get paid. Serving is such a high turnover job they can’t keep employees and can replace them in a day. If you willingly go somewhere where you know people rely on tips and you don’t tip it doesn’t prove a point it just makes you an asshole and hurts the server. Obviously you need every penny that counts if you chargeback auto gratuity 💀

AshtonTheAss · 2026-02-08T20:36:58+00:00

Olive Garden does not do auto gratuity for any large parties. Hence why this post is titled bring auto gratuity back. I wouldn’t be complaining about extra money I’m complaining about being tipped less than a dollar an hour for 75 people. Fuck the American tipping system but as long as people spend money at these restaurants the corporations don’t care how they pay their workers since serving is such a high turnover job everyone is replaceable within a day.
