Not exactly true.That is revisionist history. Tipping is practiced around the world. Interestingly, not in China,......
No one asked you to tip. There is no law that you need to tip. I tip for the service provided, if the food is delivered on time, and i dont have to ask for refills, they just show up, i tip 20% or more. Those that are lazy asses, who dont give a shit about the customers, i might leave 5% and a note telling them that if they want to make more, they need to show their desire to earn more. You must be a high school kid or something like that, because you sure dont seem to know about economics...You are sensitive over the fact I asked why should we have to tip people for just doing their job? either you worked as a waitress for a number of years or never got tips

No, I am not. Have you experienced what I am talking about?
Please prove me wrong!
Not tipping per se, but putting the burden of paying the server (or whoever) on the customer instead of the employer by excluding certain jobs from the minimum wage requirements was Was done to avoid paying the mostly black laborers in the service industries more money.That is revisionist history. Tipping is practiced around the world. Interestingly, not in China, which is basically a giant slave state.
Do you generally miss the entire point of a post? Have you experienced customer service at a restaurant in a country where there is no tradition of tipping?No, I generally don't confuse correlation with causation.

Tipping is NOT practiced around the world let me inform you this is the list of 12 countries that (don't expect a tip) but tipping is greatly appreciated!That is revisionist history. Tipping is practiced around the world. Interestingly, not in China, which is basically a giant slave state.
Thats just a fable.To Insure Promptness is what a tip is. They were never meant to replace wages.
It would serve Time ragazine well to read the article in post #41.![]()
'It's the Legacy of Slavery': Here's the Troubling History Behind Tipping Practices in the U.S.
The custom began in the years around the Civil Wartime.com
"(As for the word itself, many are familiar with the tale that “To Insure Promptness” was a phrase written on dishes for coins at shops, thus creating the acronym of “tip,” but that’s just a myth.)"
So basically you prove the point that tipping was just a device to elevate one's status as a supposed superior over a supposed inferior as well as being a way to avoid paying Black people the minimum wage.No one asked you to tip. There is no law that you need to tip. I tip for the service provided, if the food is delivered on time, and i dont have to ask for refills, they just show up, i tip 20% or more. Those that are lazy asses, who dont give a shit about the customers, i might leave 5% and a note telling them that if they want to make more, they need to show their desire to earn more. You must be a high school kid or something like that, because you sure dont seem to know about economics...
You don't have to tip and I recognize that the practice is exploitative but I also recognize that single moms need money.I don't think I read where anyone said they could not afford to tip. The discussion is around why it is that the employee isn't paying their help as opposed to the customer.
Now in reality the customer pays either way. Either by tipping or higher costs.
To address the OP, you do not have to tip. There is no law that says you do.
It would server the blog writer well to educate themselves and read the true history of tipping. It originated in europe not the US.It would serve Time ragazine well to read the article in post #41.

Your own link proves you wrong.That is revisionist history. Tipping is practiced around the world. Interestingly, not in China, which is basically a giant slave state.
AND, WHO'S fault is that?You don't have to tip and I recognize that the practice is exploitative but I also recognize that single moms need money.
Youre exactly right. It's just our system. One way or another you're gonna pay for that meal. Eliminate tipping and prices will skyrocket. The "cheap bastards" like the benefits of a tipping culture but they dont want to participate. They want a free ride without payingTipping is the free markets at work. Professional servers often prefer to get tips because they are good at what they do. When tips are eliminated, restaurants raise prices to cover the extra amount they have to pay, and the best members of the staff leave for greener pastures.
Methinks the complaints about tipping are from cheap bastards.
Just sayin.
It's not a battle I want to have in poor people's pockets. Tip as if you are a decent generous person and don't be a part of anyone's crappy day.AND, WHO'S fault is that?
