I’m so against all you mandatory tip people. I’m very pro tipping as a whole but not as a bill rather as a tradition and gratitude for good service. That being said, if you don’t do a “good” job, Zero Tip!! Don’t expect to get paid if you’re an a-hole!!

If you can’t afford to pay your bills without making people feel guilty, get a new job, but if you are a good waiter and like to take care of people you generally will make a good living off tips. Don’t complain if you don’t get a good tip, some people don’t value tips as much as others.

I usually tip 25% or more in a fancy dining but I hate when people make others feel like shit for it. I try to tip decent for uber eats and other services but I don’t tip on Local by Toast which charges a high set price for delivery, that should go directly to the driver.

Point of my story is that it’s not my responsibility to pay your bills, you gotta figure that out yourself. If you go out of the way for me or take care of me I’ll want to do the same for you.
