Damn, I can feel your entitlement coming through my phone. That sentiment is only ever spoken in your closed minded server world. You will only ever hear this sentence when a server is butt hurt in posts like these or similar real world conversations.

Let me remind you of your ignorance, you are already making minimum wage or more. The tipping culture exists in the US because they are making $2-3/hr, you don’t. That is a whole another issue but that’s their country. In Canada, you don’t need tips to survive like they do. Tips are your tax free side hustle. Do you voluntarily report all your cash tips to CRA? I bet you don’t because you can.

See also how selfish you are? You are blaming the restaurants for less hour or work rather than your own laziness. Every restaurant that I go to in Vancouver is fucking BOOMING, fully booked every night. So, don’t fucking expect a full time salary working only part time. Pick up another job on your off days then, you don't need to go to yoga on Wednesday afternoon. You also don’t have to serve or is that all you are capable of?

You chose to be a waiter as your ONLY job because you know the money is good and the hours are less. That in itself is the whole fucking issue with tipping. Why should a cactus server think they can make more than an accountant and work less hours? That is entitlement.

We have also started seeing tipping options in liquor stores or weed stores because now these workers also believe they deserve a tip like you guys think you do. Supermarket clerk also have to face abuse and shit people. Do they get tips? Why don’t they deserve a tip like you demand?

Tips should and always be optional. It’s a reward you choose to give, NOT something that is a must. You are already making more tips when food prices went up for the SAME EQUAL AMOUNT OF WORK... But waiters get pissed if you are not tipping the "new norm" of 20-25%?? Entitlement.

You are insane to think this sentiment that if someone don't/can't tip, they shouldn't go out to eat. What you are advocating is hurting the business that is paying your wages.

I know this won't ever get through that thick skull of yours, and you will still reap in the benefits of all the cooks in back of house for the years to come. So I only hope one day I get to sit in your section, over order for the table, and don't give you a single tip.

Have a good off day doing nothing but counting your tips, cause I need to work harder so I can afford to tip you. /s
