This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Waiter deals with the general public. They deserve it

I mean, they deserve to make a liveable wage regardless of whether someone tips.

Their (livable) wage is supposed to be payed by their employer. The customer is not their employer.

It's a tax thing. If tips aren't part of the food price, they're not part of revenue and not taxable. If they are, assuming same compensation as tips would generate, taxes would be higher.

I say put that on the food price. It's a few cents to the dollar difference. Plus, variations in revenue shouldn't be a thing an employee should worry about. And obviously it would do away with the whole bartering at the checkout.

I always leave a tip, but asking ME to pay more for someone ELSE’s rudeness is insane.

I work with multi million dollar companies in an office. Companies are people.

Why no tip? I do job

I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
