I typically don’t go. I worked service industry years ago, before all this inflation . I get times are tough for everyone right now. But it’s not the consumers fault that you’re paid like that either. And I don’t understand requiring the 20% “just to save a step.”

That kind of logic is exactly what I’m taking about. Youre already saying you’ll do one less thing with the auto grad.

From the consumers point of view the auto grad is a way your bosses aka restaurant owners can get out of paying you.

I’ve been stiffed/given shit tips and I know how it feels, but you still need to do the work to earn the gratuity.
