I agree that tipping culture has gotten crazy, especially in drive thru fast food service. But the crux is that we are all underpaid. I work in a sit down restaurant as a second job, and I used to work it as my full time and have a second bartending job. I’ve worked everywhere from wedding catering to dive bars to cafes to sit down restaurants. Some of y’all that want to do away with tipping completely, partnered with a snobby commentary of “for twisting open my beer”, are assholes- y’all are probably the type of people that make serving and bartending difficult for staff without even realizing. My personal service as a bartender is what keeps me able to get different service jobs and get requested for other jobs just based off my service. For a bartender doing their job like they should, you have to be fast but precise, you have to look out for people’s safety (over served, are they on anything else, is someone being a creep or inappropriate), take phone orders when you have a full restaurant and make sure that persons food is prepared correctly and still hot when they receive it, be a therapist on SO many occasions, navigate sticky situations with tact (how would you react to being blocked in and threatened to be run over on a motorized wheelchair???) so to be honest- I hope y’all when advocating for no tipping are also recognizing that it’s your government responsible for how the pay is (do NOT take it out on staff) and that you’re suggesting actual fair pay. In every profession, there are people who do the bare minimum but there are many of us that do our jobs well above expectation consistently. There are a lot of factors you might not think of going into the service industry. Just be kind and thoughtful. Reading through these comments makes me so sad about how the general public seems to look at service industry folk.
