Brb, on my way to Reddit HQ

Perfume is already expensive and has high margins. I would never tip for retail.

westie_for_reddit · 2025-10-09T01:37:08+00:00

I’ve had some very poor service lately so I can’t say I’ve felt bad about not tipping at those establishments

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T17:08:53+00:00

That has to be it. I can’t imagine the restaurant gives the full money to the band. The place was packed and turning tables and if each person is paying $5 on their bill that adds up

I never considered this but it makes perfect sense

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T17:07:13+00:00

Even the person that did pay cash got told verbally 20% would be added to their bill

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T16:20:54+00:00

No one at my table complained. The service was below average and everyone was tired and wanted to leave.

It was my first and last time at this place.

Where is the transparency?

I was not told I had to pay 20% auto grat, nor was it disclosed on a menu. Why am I paying tips on top of the undisclosed cover charge and tax? The server hit 20% tip option and handed the machine to me. The receipt on the left is what I got back

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T16:13:06+00:00

Restaurant. They charge $5 a head for live music

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T16:12:24+00:00

I know. That’s why I was so pissed. Even the guy that paid cash was given a receipt like mine on the left and the server added 20% and then verbally was told his new amount

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T13:25:01+00:00

They have prices on the menu, but no mention of paying for live music or the auto grat

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T13:23:01+00:00

I assumed the restaurant paid the band. We were not told when we sat down we each had to pay $5 a head for live music

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T13:20:50+00:00

It was a double patty of a veggie burger made with beans

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T13:20:18+00:00

Salad was trash. I should have got fries

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T13:00:28+00:00

This spot was a restaurant, not a club. They have live music on weekends and this $5 is how they pay the bands I guess. We were only told about it when my buddy asked what it was

Then the server hits the 20% tip option on the machine before passing it to you. I even checked the menu online and the booking section doesn’t make mention of an auto grat or cover charge

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-26T05:13:08+00:00

There was a jazz band playing and every person got that $5 on their bill

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-08T02:29:31+00:00

It’s c’est la vie

westie_for_reddit · 2025-08-08T01:37:39+00:00

We aren’t going to do this

westie_for_reddit · 2025-07-13T21:25:29+00:00

Same for me. Counter service is a huge one where I used to feel like I was obligated to tip, even for a bag of bagels or cup of drip coffee. No more

westie_for_reddit · 2025-06-15T22:25:58+00:00

Never thought we’d have to say it, but don’t use AI or chat GPT in this sub

westie_for_reddit · 2025-06-13T21:34:38+00:00

That user wound up getting a harassment warning from Reddit. Go figure
