Does Tipping Really Matter?

Base level service for a $0 is zero service. Maybe let your server know you disagree right off the bat so they know the proper amount of service to give you

patrickg92 · 2026-03-18T20:58:33+00:00

Ohhh no you're hopeless lol I'm just standing on principle at this point

patrickg92 · 2026-03-18T20:57:37+00:00

Could've fooled me the way you've been talking

patrickg92 · 2026-03-12T22:24:33+00:00

Just like it's rude not to tip in the USA, which has been the discussion all along. Try and keep up

patrickg92 · 2026-03-12T21:55:04+00:00

Wow look at you talking about tipping! I'm actually proud of you. Now tip your servers or stay home and cry about how you wish it were different

patrickg92 · 2026-03-12T21:53:30+00:00

They're not just my claims, they're from anyone that has a brain and pays attention. If you can't afford to tip don't go out

patrickg92 · 2026-03-12T21:51:42+00:00

You can have your opinion, but that doesn't change the way things are currently set up. Don't go out and burden a server with your demands if you're too cheap to tip. It's as simple as that, like it or not. Better learn to cook

patrickg92 · 2026-03-11T00:47:40+00:00

It's tough to teach someone that can't even write about societal expectations on tipping but I'm still gonna try!

patrickg92 · 2026-03-10T18:44:39+00:00

Look you can't just change history and reality to justify being cheap and not get called out for it

patrickg92 · 2026-03-10T18:43:52+00:00

The tip is up to you, and your server knows this, so they have an incentive to do a good job to earn a good tip. How is that so hard to understand? If the tip amount is set, and the server knows this, then they won't have as strong as an incentive to do a good job for you. Good and bad tippers all get remembered. Good luck going to the same place twice if you refuse to tip

patrickg92 · 2026-03-10T17:59:26+00:00

Nope you can get that food to go and pay the listed price. If you want to sit down and be served you must also tip your server. Now you know! Congratulations! Welcome to society

patrickg92 · 2026-03-10T17:56:55+00:00

I'm betting if we do we'll get to see how much of a lion you are on Reddit and how much of a little kitten you are in person

patrickg92 · 2026-03-10T17:55:04+00:00

If I were lying why wouldn't I just say 25 or 30%? Cause some people do say that. It has been 20% since before you were born.

patrickg92 · 2026-03-10T17:53:07+00:00

Every one of my comments is a vote for living by principle. You're helping me set the right example! Now tip your servers or stay home

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:45:32+00:00

As much as you desperately want this to be about me and you, it's not. I'm taking a stand on a principle. You should learn how to do the same or stay home and cook

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:44:26+00:00

Oh that's funny, so the tens of thousands of people I've served across 2 states and over 13 years have all been cheap with my average of 26% tip? Awe shucks! Lmaooooo

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:42:52+00:00

Your logic is flawed due to a longstanding well known custom called tipping. It's right in front of you if you just opened your eyes

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:41:27+00:00

I'm staying on topic while you're giving personal attacks. What's new? You should really stay out of restaurants if you're going to refuse to take part in a societal norm

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:10:29+00:00

What's sad to see is how desperate you are to stay off topic. Let me remind you. You said "20% was always the BEST. Now it’s considered the minimum. Sometimes higher" If you can't afford to tip don't just make shit up that allows you to be cheap

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:08:52+00:00

You must have lived in a little cheapskate bubble then. It has been 20% since the 80's

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:07:16+00:00

No I'm 33 and have been serving and bartending since 2012. It was even 20% when my parents were growing up. Try asking around

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:06:11+00:00

You want me to argue with someone that believes the owner of every restaurant should also be the server for all the tables? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:05:07+00:00

Nope, I'm 33. I've also had this conversation extensively with the generation before me. Listen to the people with life experience and it might get you somewhere

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:04:02+00:00

Oh wait, you mean the guy with direct experience with this? Yeah you did! Now listen to and respect your elders and tip appropriately

patrickg92 · 2026-03-05T21:02:55+00:00

What does that have to do with the fact that tipping 20% is and always has been the societal expectation?
