It doesn't have to be like this, America. Not only is tipping not expected in Australia, but when the "Choose tip" screen comes up on US made software, all the servers I've ever had skip straight through it and choose zero.

Servers deserve to be paid fairly.

US corpo parasite is attempting to export this shite so they can charge their parasite fee on higher gross amount...

Pathetic

Custom 0%

It ain't my job to pay your employees salaries

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (34 children)

Maybe it's your job to avoid patronizing places that don't pay their employees enough though?

[–] Presi300@lemmy.world 40 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (19 children)

No, it's not, however as a near-minimum wage worker myself, it is also not my job to cover a massive corporation's lack of proper budgeting...

If you can't afford living wages for your staff so they're not dependant on tips, your store shouldn't be open.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 134 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (14 children)

Everyone working a job should be making a living wage. "Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good. If it's not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn't exist. Period. I will die on this hill.

I don't know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don't have tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.

I know tipping culture is extreme, but I've never seen 100%. I don't think this is real.

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 130 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I can't find the original image, it's just been reshared dozens of times on Xitter, Threads, Facebook and Reddit, but nobody is adding context or naming and shaming.

So yeah, probably just ragebait.

If any place said a 30% tip is so so, I'm not tipping.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 38 points 5 days ago (2 children)

If I saw this I would give them exactly what I think they're worth. $0.01 and a bad online review.

This would get an immediate Custom -> 0% from me the moment I see it.

Fucking "soso" for a 20% tip the hell

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

As a dev I would try negative value in the custom field.

[–] Theonetheycall1845@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

There's no 20 it's 30%!! Insane.

This is why I have stopped dining out, if the business demands excess to then pay staff and without tips staff go unpaid then what is it I am supporting.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 72 points 4 days ago

This would be an automatic "custom" > 0% for me. Sorry, not sorry.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 9 points 3 days ago

I award you no tips, and may God have mercy on your soul!

10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It's a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is. Also, NEVER PRE-TIP. That is insane!

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 58 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pre-tip? I think that's called a bribe

Select "Custom" and type 0.00 without breaking eye contact. Be careful, though, that 0.00 can quickly turn into 8.88 if you're not looking.

This was at a self-service kiosk, too, right?

Maybe the restaurants should pay their employees so customers don't have to pay them? I know it's a radical thought.

Back when 15% was considered standard I liked tipping closer to 30%, but as a direct result of the push to try to make 15% seem low I no longer tip more than 15%.

30% is "soso" but a 100% is only "Thank You"? In this case the 100% should be "Walk over to the other side of the register so the boss can blow You".

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

So hard to get a thank you. Manners these days...

[–] Vinstaal0@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The moment they ask for a tip they are not getting anything nor a repeat customer.
