Why should we have to tip people for just doing their job?

[sealybobo]

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?

Tipping isn’t customary in Japan. Do they give shitty service?

 

[Oldestyle]

Hell no. For that very reason. There is no way in hell I'm going to wait on some asshole hoping to get a tip.

Then you're the kind of person that SHOULDN'T be a server! You'd give them bad service and think you deserve money anyways!

 

[Asclepias]

Yeah I have been to Japan! Food in restaurants there cost a fortune. Are you trying to prove my point?

I went to Okinawa and I don't recall the prices being expensive at all.

Nope, you're under no obligation whatsoever to leave a tip. Just understand that when you don't...that server is STILL obligated to tip out the busser and the bartender! So waiting on YOU actually cost them money!

Nobody obligated to tip anyone! This is the employer's/employee's fault NOT the customer! they wouldn't have a job without the customer's! waiting is their job it cost them money because their employer is CHEAP which isn't anyone else's problem but their own

When there is no tipping allowed, the service is FAR better.

Why? You’d think they’d do better with the incentive of a tip.

I would never get trapped into that because the minute they told me I would be making $2 plus tips my ass would have been out the door!

I worked as bartender to pay my way through college. Why? Because it was by far the highest paying part time job there was! To be quite honest, I didn't even care what the bar paid me. I made a killing from tips.

You're the kind of person that wants a Civil Service job, Milk Weed! You can do a crappy job...treat people like shit...and never get fired.

You must have a good personality like my girl did.

Did you go to a fine dining restaurant? You didn't...did you?

No. I take pride in my work and customer service is my number 1 priority. I am a professional and I am compensated like one.

You have any doubt about that? C'mon man!

 

[Asclepias]

Yeah I did. Being treated like a king was all part of the experience. They even put on a fucking show.

Tipping is not customary in Japan it's considered rude and insulting you must have paid for multiple meals

You've never worked in the restaurant or bar business though...have you? Nor do you have any desire to? Yet you think you know how to change things to make it better for the people that do? Interesting...

Well like I said, I had a girl that was a waitress. I came close to fucking up one of the customers and she banned me from coming to her job.

 

[Oldestyle]

What I'm seeing on this site are a bunch of cheap people that want someone else to pay for service because they don't want to and they're running out of places and people that will serve them without doing unspeakable things to their food in the back!

 

[Oldestyle]

And then there is Milk Weed...who's just an anti social ass hole! Just kidding...kind of...

 

[Oldestyle]

My suggestion is that all of you that don't like to tip? Go to a fast food place! It's right up your alley!
