I no longer feel guilty. I hit no tip EVERY single time unless it’s great service. Don’t let the pressure get to you.
Another trend I commonly see, are donations to either children's hospitals, cancer, etc at the checkout at grocery stores. I don't tip, or donate, sorry. Only for delivery or restaurants, that's it.
@@doubledown8229 One of the main reasons why those companies ask for money to donate is for tax write offs.
@@AutoXela Yeah it’s such a fraud. The get the tax write off and didn’t pay squat.
Amen same here
That's the way
Try visiting Japan. They have amazing service wherever you go. Tips are considered insulting to the employees and usually rejected. They have pride in their work and always work hard as a team to please their customers.
Not to please but serve with heart
Yeah this is why America needs to go away from the tipped minimum wage of $2.13 per hour. The tipped minimum wage is the issue I think. Nowadays though most places ask you to tip and do pay more than the tipped minimum wage other than for servers. As far as know servers are still making less than minimum wage.
Average salary per hour in Japan as a waitress is approx 💴2000 which is $19 to $20. Average rent is 50k to 70k yen which is $400-$500 a month. Utilities is average 5k yen which $36 a month. Groceries you can save $50 a week. In the US, federal minimum wage: $7.25. Average every state: $10-$15. Rent: $1000-$3000 for a 1 bedroom and some not pet friendly. Utilities: average $400 a month. The problem too is that we have a privatized healthcare. That does take away your honor for service industry and haggle all money to make ends meet. In Japan, government honor hardwork and reward hardwork. Also, they're might be a bit of reserved and traditional country but they solve problems. Americans honor money and reward those who knows how to get more money. US: we only solve problems if there's funding.
That's why we love Japan.
Korea too. No tip...... 🎉
In every other country, good service is sincere. In US, it feels like a threat.
I feel that I should get a tip for every video that you comment on.
False. It's the same in every other country that I've been to. In fact, while I was in Hamburg, the tip was automatically added to your bill.
@@TheZaxx Not in Asia.
@@TheZaxx and the service was bad???
@@TheZaxxSorry, you're wrong. It's absolutely fine not to give a tip in germany. And tips aren't "automatically added". There's just the option to add tips the customer gives to the bill...so both sides get a proper receipt for taxes.
Tipping backfires on business and employees. I got tired of tipping so I just stopped eating out. It's amazing how much better the food and service is in my own kitchen!
Much better food & not at the mercy of the wait staff & the cook.
Same here... I refuse to go to places where I have to pay tips
Same here 😂
Same! During Prime Day I bought an expresso machine, rice cooker and many other cookware. I’m done with this bs
I also follow the same mindset. It's so expensive eating out plus tips and taxes not worth it at all.
If we all can keep smashing the "NO TIP" button for long enough, the industry WILL change. It's all supply and demand.
I’m joining the cause!!
Yes, they will change.. they will remove the button XD
@@enriquejaimes3368 😂😂😂😂
Cheapo
Ive even seen machines which dont even have the "No tip" button option! Meaning you have to press custom tip button and then manually enter 0. That should be illegal cause its intentionally designed to discourage no tip, essentially pressuring customers to tip against their will.
As someone who always lived in Europe and visited USA for the first time last year I gotta say I think the tipping culture in US is actually insane. A tip should be an OPTION for those who can afford it, it should be a bonus given for good service, not a requirement. Employers should pay their workers enough without relying on clients' tips, come on.
Wow. I gotta ask, where are you from? When I was in Hamburg, the tip was automatically added to the bill. And sometimes servers seemed like they couldn't care less about your experience in their restaurant. Also, where in the US are you?
@@TheZaxx You must have been in the wrong part of Hamburg.
@@12Nordsee Probably a tourist area actually. I've noticed they will trick them this way because they don't know any better.
So you are all right with a person making five to seven dollars an hour and you think that's alright somebody working for slave wages
Tipping is not required. Don't tip and just go. No police will show up, nobody is going to chase after you. Places are just trying to use peer pressure to get you to pay more. If I'm not at a sit-down restaurant, I don't tip.
Tipping for every single service is absolutely insane. I got hassled for a tip when I called in an order for pick up. Now I'm asked for tips for everything. I'd rather just stay home now. It's harassment.
Same!
I don't go out because I hate the ridiculousness of tipping nowadays. People are either fake or smug in restaurants.
Don't tip when it's to go...you got there by public transit or spent money on gas or charged your car, you didn't get served at a table and use their utensils that they had to clean afterwards and real plate. They are not bringing you water or ketchup or anything...you don't tip at the grocery store when you pick stuff up!
@@julielevesque2668but soon, you'll never know if we're asked to tip the casher for their services (for scanning tags, putting things in the bag, etc.) at grocery store. Ideally, you CAN charge a tip on almost everything because almost every product we use all are involved with some form of service.
I tip restaurants and taxi drivers only. The others can eat dirt.
When I moved from Italy to the US in 2013 it was a culture shock. We do not tip in my country. But I adapted anyway to the local social rules, like any international person should do when they move to a new country. But in the last years it has escalated; it wasn't like that before. Anyone asks for tip, even places that offer no service at all. Remember guys, at the end of the day the choice is yours. Don't be embarrassed to click on "zero" even if they stare at you meanwhile you use the tablet screen. You have nothing to be ashamed of . Let's fight this bs together :)
Another foreigner here. Same thing I've experienced when I lived there. I've often given tips for good service, but the lack of gratitude and entitlement (specially from the female waiters) got to my nerves later on.
I’ve been using cash for this precise reason.
I install equipment which takes a full day of hard work. Rarely do I get a tip. But if someone takes your order they get a tip.
Females in the US are extremely entitled!!
I agree!
Beat them to it: ask for a discount (frequent diner, birthday, holiday, etc.) and they'll say "no". Makes telling them "no" that much easier and actually feels great knowing they had no problem telling you that. **IF** they give you a discount then tip them that same amount.
It's not a tip anymore, it's a fee or a tax. In restaurants, you pay for the waiter's wage, in addition to your meal. The worst part is how entitled to YOUR money they feel.
If u worked for 12hr and all your check was tip you would see why ppl so entitled xD
@@SevastianNandez ask your employer bro, if I just have 10 dollars and order a 10 dollar drink how can I tip??
@Joseph Alan then you don’t go out if you only have $10….
@@SevastianNandez why not feel entitled to higher wages from the employer?
@@mishelleilieva9657 we do but food prices going up and people dont want to pay more
If we all stopped tipping all at once, companies would be forced to pay the workers themselves and tipping wpuld finally die
tipping is fine as long as it is an option and companies try not to make something PERSONAL their business
Welcome to the rest of the world where society functions and we eat out. Those studies about people feeling ripped off if the “pizza was priced higher” is BS. By that logic, nobody eats out ever anywhere where tipping is not a thing.
This would hurt a lot of workers living paycheck to paycheck before it hurt the companies. It is better not to frequent establishments that pay below minimum wage as base pay. Otherwise your server just did all that work for $2.13 an hour and the restaurant gets the same money until they are forced to quit.
That's not how it works? Businesses won't suddenly feel obligated to increase wages just because people stopped tipping. In turn, that'll hurt every service industry worker because you removed a major chunk of their income. Only way businesses would increase wages is if the law forced them too, because otherwise, they'd much rather have their businesses fail than pay their employees more money.
@@MereAYT I believe in most states by law if waitstaff don't make minimum wage the establishment has to compensate. I think best way to increase minimum wage is to tie up government official's salary/benefits/tax bracket with minimum wage
(i.e. senator's salary is 5x minimum wage worker's 40 hours work week
or if you make 100x minimum wage's 40 hour work week you now pay tax at 50% with no exemption) and see how many politicians and rich people suddenly really care about minimum wage.
I was in the USA recently and was happy to go along with the tipping culture to a degree… but what sums this up the most was that in a diner I overheard staff chatting to each other and the ONLY thing they said/discussed was “it’s been a good day so far, we’ve taken $500 in tips”
That's actually why they never fight against it. They actually make well over minimal wage.
The tipping culture became so toxic, some employees are getting mad at you if you tip only 15%.
I ordered a pizza, picked it up, and was presented with the tip thing. I chose 15% and could feel the burn. Thet did NOT like that. No tip next time. Sorry. $20 for a small pizza is ridiculous and so is the attitude.
I WISH they were leaving 15%! Most are leaving "0" or peanuts @ Togo. Yep! Doctors offices, corporate ppl. leaving next to nothing, but wanting $400 worth of food by 11:15 am when the restaurant open @ 11am! Along with 10-15 others that want their food at that same time!????!!!
Phock them if they get mad. Unless it's your favorite restaurant or no one else serves that food, go elsewhere. There are TOO many choices for dining out.
The only thing that I feel compelled to tip on is delivering drivers in the food department.
I'm not talking about Uber east either.
I'm talking about most fast food chains that have their workers deliver the food to houses.
I did it once and the company dosen't cover the gas. So just a few dollars helps out with the cost of gas.
Restaurants are depend on the food and service.
Hair cuts are dependent on how good of a job they did and how likely they are as a person.
I have limited down to very rarely ever going out, so I don't tip alot.
Decent skit, good information, but corny sleigh of hand. Nobody cares to see that.
Tipping culture and how outrageous it has gotten is one of the reason we very very rarely eat out anymore.
Even ordering the food for takeout to avoid tips , they still ask for tips .
But don’t let it get to you 😊
Same. I cook my own food.
yo bro... can you tip ? you wrote a comment.
Rarely eat out? I rarely go out anymore period because it's already expensive and I'm asked to tip for someone just doing their job. I've been asked to leave a tip for online orders. 🥴
People tend to be more generous when it's not expected of them to be generous.
By making tips expected, generosity will just become less common.
I stopped tipping my hair stylist who owns her own salon when she raised her rates by 30%. I told her up front I was no longer going to tip. She totally understood. I have brought so much business to her that I think she knew. So over tipping at every tiny shop. I refuse to do it anymore only at nice restaurants.
Seems like you have a good relationship with the owner, at least.
and I was always taught that the owner should never been tipped...to the point of when I was a kid I saw someone at reception tell someone that in the salon....
That's why you should always pay in cash
If you were not familiar with owner, you probably got a messed up hair cut already.
Speaking as a stylist, technically you used to never tip the owner of a salon. You could if you wanted to, but generally it was accepted that as the owner of the salon they wouldn't get tipped. This does not apply for a single stylist shop situation.
Purchased a bottle of water at the gym and got hit with the “$2, $3, or $4 tip” prompt .. this is getting out of hand 😂
Went to buy frozen yogurt( serve yourself) and was also prompted for a tip. Wait, i did all the work, do i get a discount?
Just skip the bottom and press no tip.
I used to do the fear tips but since I lost my job I have had to be more careful. I hit “no tip” the other day at the Hollywood Bowl when I was paying for prepackaged food that I had to carry to the register myself - felt so good to not leave a tip when no one did anything to deserve one! Hopefully I can feel that empowered to keep not tipping because I think tipping culture as a whole just needs to go away forever and people just need to be paid fair wages.
During covid, it was expected that we pay more tip to these servers. But guess what, while they get more $$, the rest of the people didn't. The majority of people's salary didn't increase enough to keep up with these sky-high tip increases. So now I don't feel sorry to not tip more, I feel sorry to everyone having to deal with this BS. Honestly we need to put an end to this Tip Culture BS. It's too much entitlement.
I only tip at restaurants or bars that I frequent so that they dont spit in my food
🤣🤣🤣
Yep.
😆 right! I tip if I'm a regular too.
I only tip if I am a regular or I am sitting down. Otherwise 0 tip.
That shows you the mindset and culture of the people of that country.
As an American, I love traveling overseas to places like the Netherlands where there is no tipping culture. It just eliminates that pressure from your shopping/dining experience, and you get the focus on the product or experience you ordered.
We never give a tip in The Netherlands😂
I always give a 10% tip in the Netherlands. But at least it still shows appreciation and waiters are actually thankful for it.
Exactly .. we certainly do tip in The Netherlands, but you have to earn it or be lucky you're serving a happy festive bunch that doesn't really care.
It's a gift, not a right ..
As a businessowner just pay your ppl what they deserve, there is no excuse for paying way less than minimum wage.
And while you're at it: stop this nonsense of pricing stuff with prices before salestax, just show the number I'll have to pay (including the salestax) at the counter !
That's just making every shopping experience some sort of a math exercise.
Ow, and go Metric like literally everyone on earth 😎
In my opinion, giving and receiving are equal. Have you ever paid and consumed in the United States but didn’t get a good attitude?
@@lchavinga This is terrible because it creates the expectation and people will serve you badly when you do not tip them.
The quality of service has drastically gone down, whilw the expectation of a tip has gone up.
It's a way for the already wealthy corporations to pass the cost of labor onto the consumer
I mean not exactly lol. A lot of restaurants are family owned.
Wealthy should start paying up
That's exactly what it is!
Yep it’s so they can justify to the employees your tips are your wages so you get the minimum wage for tipped workers. It’s a scam
A lot of the family business I know employ their own family members most of the time... Tipping is just collecting extra dollars
It’s gotten to the point where it’s no longer fun to go out. Rather buy a really great bottle of wine, BBQ a AAA steak and avoid the stress and scam.
I enjoy the part where they ask you if you would like to donate to charity so that they can use it to lower their taxes as if these giant corporations need help avoiding taxes
The charities are shoddy & untrustworthy too
Totally agree. I have no issue with hitting the no button on the screen at the grocery store. They're the billion dollar corporation and I don't want to help them with their taxes.
@@NE0Nwhip probably scams.
Money goes into their pocket.
Absolutely broken! NO OTHER COUNTRY on this planet has taken this tipping custom to such a ridiculous extent!
Actually I live in Canada and tipping culture there is comparably bad, since the country is heavily influenced by US.
Canada has succumbed to this as well.
Mexico is heavily influenced by tipping culture too. Guess it is it’s closeness
I was on vacation in Italy and had a wonderful dinner in a restaurant. When the bill came we paid it in euros. The waiter returned to the table and said we left too much for a tip and told us what a proper one would be. It was a paltry sum. We were shocked. He also wanted to know why we ate and left so quickly after finishing. Taking a couple hours to eat is no big deal. He said Americans are too fast at everything. He was right. The next meal out we slowed down and paid attention to the Italians in the restaurant. They talked, they laughed, they interacted with each other. Going out to eat for them was almost a respected ceremony. I learned a lot on that trip! Live in the moment!!
Canada
Glad that I am not the only one who think tipping has gone out of control in US.
I agree! It’s getting ridiculous
Even doughnut shops ask for tips for buying a doughnut
I have no issue tipping in restaurants where I sit down and the interaction is longer. But I’m tired of being asked to tip in the drive through or just picking something up. Those are too different situations.
I'm convinced the people that are pushing the tipping are the credit card/processing companies. They're putting the tip option on all their CC machines and touch screen systems. They do this because they are getting 2-3% of the total bill. They might be getting just 2-3% of a few dollars, but when it happens billions of times a year, it adds up.
That's why i don't add my tips on the card, i pay exact amount and leave the tip in cash directly to the waiter
@@disruptapps Free credit card points
This is the real reason. The point of sale device providers get a cut so they add tipping to all transactions.
The restaurant industry from small mom and pop shops to major chains expects the consumer to pay for their employees wages. Restaurant service workers CANNOT survive on the minimum wage or lower wages they get from their employers. It’s not “optional” tip if you want to and if they gave good service from the financial perspective of restaurant employees as it is NOT a bonus on top of living wages.
Tip ootions are adjustable by each vendor.
I legit started to carry cash in hand everywhere just to evade those damn tipping tablets 😑 it's insanity
Yes, cash is still the bet way to avoid all of this nonsense. I always get cash for when I go to these types of places.
@@latachia_2981 just DON'T tip and don't feel geelty
Cash is still king
@@applenyc5300yea but I’ve heard stories where employees will add tip themselves 😬
@@GoodFella1294 For real?
I’ve stopped tipping anyplace where I don’t get served prior to my tip. This started last year where three days in a row I had the following happen; I ordered in a Starbucks and paid with 20% tip and they made my drink wrong twice, the next day I ordered from Grub Hub and tipped 20% but the food that was delivered wasn’t even my order, and then the following day I went to a local restaurant where you order at the counter and the only service you get is them bringing out your food, I tipped 20% and proceeded to wait 15 minutes before going to the counter to ask about my food & being told it would be right up, then another 15 minutes before going up again & being told the order never even got put in. That’s when I realized that three days in a row I was paying 20% more for bad service.
I’m incredibly tired of being pressured to tip no less than 18% at these kiosks at places I previously never would have BEFORE I even receive what i’m paying for.
I just won't do it! If I can, I'll just pay in cash & then I don't have that problem.
There should always be a no tip option. Don't feel guilty.
I’ve trained myself to hit the no tip button.😂
I got to start doing that
Just 1% as maximum tip
This is so HARD though
I have switched to paying cash for all purchases that would ask for tip
We need to just stand up as a nation. Stop tipping completely everywhere so businesses will actually have to pay there workers a living wage.
They do pay living wage, those workers just want more money of course
@@applenyc5300 $2.53 an hour is a living wage?
@@applenyc5300 also if they did pay a living wage we wouldn’t have to tip 10-20$ just for a burger and chicken fingers.
I think it's a good idea. We really should do a tax revolt, but refusing to pay tips is like that but with training wheels. There's no resistance to not paying tips and nobody can enforce it.
fun fact they won't
The part where the employee didn’t say thank you after tipping something that shouldn’t have been tipped that much or at all, hits hard
Do you say "Thank you" to the server after he or she has served your meal?
Good manners go both ways.
@@dhenderson1810say thank you for someone doing their job😂?
Also a tip is optional, people don’t have to leave anything so a thanks isn’t too much to do.
I could easily take my money back.
@@malayaanderson8222 Yes, thank them for doing their job, if they do the job. A lot of people don't do the job they should, so we should appreciate when someone does give good service, because it is rare.
If you are not going to tip, shouldn't you grow some manners and at least thank them. You seem to want it all coming your way.
Good manners cost nothing.
@@dhenderson1810 "A lot of people don't do the job they should", then they should be fire or customers stop coming to that establishment. Their loss anyway, and people save their money.
@@dhenderson1810 they get paid, I spend my money
Tipping should be made illegal
That money goes to the big CEOs. It won’t change. America is greedy.
The problem isn't tipping, the problem is workers choosing to work for wages that are not sustainable unless people tip.
Nah tipping works fine in other countries it's just America that it had to f*ck it up
@@MegaLokopoThe problem is no more ours, its between the employers and employees. The government can do something if they have to.
@@Arshath13 The government can't actually fix this problem. Minimum wage increasing always increases inflation by an equal amount.
My favorite is when the tip is included in the bill and then they have to gall to add another tip line at the end. Praying on people not looking at their bills.
* preying on
Yes! This just happened at the movies this weekend. Built in 18% gratuity then had the nerve to have another tip line at the bottom. FOH!
I respect small business owners pressing the no tip option themselves as soon as you take ur card. People are not obligated to pay employees
I once went up to a food truck and placed an order. He took my card and swiped it and didn’t give a receipt, but also didn’t do the tablet swivel to ask for a tip, so I thought “Ohh cool maybe they just don’t pressure tips or don’t want them”.
A couple of weeks later I was going through my transactions (I like to double check restaurants) and he tipped himself 40%! I was going to call my bank but got lazy lol. Moral of the story is to not always trust they hit no tip and insist on a receipt.
@@erikpoulsen5900 Or just use cash.
Hit No Tip every time unless it’s a sit down restaurant, food delivery, or a service someone does like a hair cut. Tips should always be optional and the employers should encourage tips. Consumers should not tip when they don’t feel a true good service was done
But customers will lie that they didn't get good service when they did, to get out of paying a tip.
The low wage culture in America is the problem. The other issues that react to this problem are side effects. There’s growing outrage toward the ways we address the problem, and not nearly enough addressing the companies ability to exist through exploitation.
Exactly, people want to skirt around the real issue at hand, which is that living human beings deserve a living wage. And put a limit on billionaires and them playing God bc they have too much money to be satisfied now.
Unfortunately, Canada is an example that raising employee wage doesn't do away with tipping or the entitlement of being tipped. Please learn from us, and don't make your situation worse. The solution is trickier than it seems...
I'd say the root problem is further upstream; inflation, particularly housing costs. Increasing wages only works in the short term, but in the long run it just contributes to the problem.
The main issue with tipping is that the workers don’t want it to stop either. They make a lot more this way than if they were on a flat minimum wage
They would have to get into a different line of work. if the tipping stopped.or, maybe the employers should just pay them more money & charge a little more to the custumer...I'd be willing to pay a higher price if the tipping culture were to be eliminated.
I don't understand where the "if they raised their wages, then there would be no tips"? Why is that the automatic thought? Tips have never been required. It's more like peer pressure. If they had normal minimum wage, that wouldn't stop the customers from tipping lol. They would then just make more money than they did before. It's not like businesses are gonna force customers not to leave extra money behind on tables for their servers. Lol. It's a habit at this point, and it's not like people will ask the servers what their wages are to confirm if they deserve a tip or not lol
A lot of these people should not even be working in these jobs. The tipping artificially makes these jobs pay very high way above the $15 dollar minimum wage in areas. This is way higher then what some jobs that require a degree are paying. Why should a starter job pay more then a job that needs a degree. I assume these jobs pay very low in other countries without the tips.
@jonathanbirch2022 Not in my area. They aren't allowed to count the tips as minimum wage. The restaurant is forced to pay these people $15 an hour plus they are getting tips. During a really good tipping night you can make $25-30 an hour.
@jonathanbirch2022but the price is just hidden, that is false advertising, that is not very free market, comrade😂
Employees need to be paid properly, not depend on customers to subsidize their poor pay.
Amen to that!!!
I have grown immune to it. Unless I am sitting down at a restaurant and actual service is provided I am not tipping a penny.
After watching this video a month ago, we too are not falling prey to the guilt-ridden tipping.
But the younger generation still feels the need to impress their friends and coworkers by tipping.
Only tip if the person has gone beyond what they are being paid to do.
@@5877user The minimum wage does not apply to food service workers in the US. Some companies still pay their servers 2.13 an hour. That is a SLAVE Wage. No thank you.
Tips are just wages that the employer doesnt want to pay.
Nah its because servers want to make triple or quadruple minimum wage or even more.
Well said!
I straight up just dont go out to eat anymore, been cooking like 90% of my meals for the past year and a half and honestly its been great. Save tons of money and its often better tasting.
Oh I go out. I still dont tip though.
@@AM-lz2jrsame
I agree with what you said. I’ve noticed the increase in having to tip after Covid. I’m starting to feel burnt out on tipping. It makes you second guess if you really want that food or service before buying it. I wish it were different and that we could get away from it like other countries.
I was just recently told I can add my tip to my dental cleaning bill. To the dental hygienist. The average dental hygienist in NYC makes between 80 to 100,000 per year. I did not tip nor ever go back. Outrageous.
Omg tipping at the dentist’s office 😢
@@Real-comment-unreal-name I was shocked. This happened at two different dental offices. They claim that I should tip because I had my teeth bleached. It was considered a cosmetic visit. I must of bleached my teeth at least 20 times over the many years. Never asked by the other offices. She has an associate degree. Many have other degrees before going back to school. She is a licensed professional. Pay her what she deserves. She should not have to depend on a tip jar.
That's crazy!!! I am very sure our culture is to NEVER tip Professionals!!! Doctors, Lawyers, Accountant, Police, Fireman... essentially anyone that has passed a professional exam and is registered/licensed to practice, does NOT need a tip.
Their base salary is more than what I make!!!! I will clean my own teeth!!! SMH
@@kimkaragiannis848 They require a 2 year associate degree. Many actually have other degrees and go back to get that degree. They also must take and pass a licensing exam. They are professionals who should not be soliciting a tip. Even if the service was for teeth bleaching. Absolutely outrageous.
We got it right in the uk, we tip when the service provided is deserving of a tip and if you can't afford to tip at that time then no worries its never expected.
Why should supermarket workers on minimum wage with no tips give resteraunt staff a tip just for doing their job?
Agreed. USA should do that, but won't because its run by criminals
I’m Bartender in Vegas and you guys cheapest customers, so I don’t know about that 💁🏼♂️
Apart from in some restaurants in London where they automatically add a 15% to the bill as a “service charge” 🤢
Good point!
Sometimes the “no tip” option is hidden under the “other” option
This isn’t difficult, we just need to make tipping illegal entirely like in Japan. If there is no option for tips, all restaurants compete on the same playing field and can’t cut corners by paying some staff less for the possible promise of more in tips, and good staff won’t be leaving for tipper restaurants anymore, but for better general pay and benefits like people in every other industry does
I understand the sentiment, but tipping in Japan isn’t illegal, just frowned upon.
Uhhh a lot of people are surviving on tips only….can’t just make it illegal
@@devinleff8035not frowned upon, straight up insulting.
@@shemthom31that's a shitty excuse for such a bad culture to continue. If your life is that miserable why would you look specifically for a job that depends on the generosity of others for you to make a living? Find another job that has a set wage! In reality those people go into that industry because they know they can make a ton from guilt-tripping customers to give them extra money. And tipping culture is inherently sexist benefitting females, you don't see feminists complain about that do you?
it’s not illegal in Japan…it’s just custom thing
I was shocked to see “do you want to tip the restaurant” on a kiosk recently. I placed my own order, got my own drink, retrieved my food after they called my name and bussed my own table, what am I tipping them for?! I immediately hit “no tip” on the screen, they did away with their wait staff so who am I tipping anyway, the cooks doing their job? Yeah, it’s getting ridiculous! I have no problem at all with no tipping, unless a real service is being provided. 🤷♀️
With the tablet tipping, with a little research you will find that a lot of small businesses that have the feature do not pay the employees the tips given, and the owner keeps it. Just a heads up.
If what you say is true, I will no longer tip LOL
i learned this at a bikini bar i used to frequent ... tipped $30 because the waitress was hot and the drinks were strong, she said thanks but she'll have to beg for it from the owner.. sad stuff.
It can be a real jar and the owner will still not give any cut of the tips. Worked at a place like that. A sandwich place.
Wrong! I’m a small business owner. TIPS is considered property of the employees and it is illegal for the owner nor the management to keep/share any portion of it.
@@eddieonprius state law? Federal law? Who’s watching?
I’m really glad you made a video about this. I think it started getting out of hand during and post-Covid. Everywhere all of a sudden started putting tip range 15.20.25% or 18.25.30. I’m like,…wth. What happened to 5.10.15? I like your suggestion to change the service industry, but we have to change the industry as a whole so businesses aren’t getting left behind. Then tips would be what they were originally meant for: exceptional service.
I think food costs have risen significantly. As restaurant owners can't afford to pay their employees more, the burden to provide a higher income to tipped employees to keep up with inflation remains with the customer. I don't think the 5.10.15. percentage range is sufficient anymore, even as menu prices have risen.
@@owenkellogg3130 yeah..no
If you depend on tips you should get a real job. Not something that will be replaced by robots.
@@owenkellogg3130 Agreed! - It's a real pickle situation!
So if such a business were to apply for a loan on such tight margins and below living wage expectations for staff, would you approve a loan to such a business? I would think not unless you're ok with slave labour. Problem is, banks are just as greedy.
Bro I go to places it’s 20% minimum!!!
They only things we should be tipping on are sit-down wait service at a standard restaurant or delivery drivers. NOTHING ELSE! If you tip at over-the-counter service or the like, you're enabling these corporations to pay their employees less and less. And they know that guilt is a powerful motivator. They've realized that having to look the employee in the face while you decline/provide them a tip is just too much for a lot people to bear. It's insidious and fucked-up.
I’m from the UK. I loved this video!
I visit the US once a year and I HATE to tip anyone. It’s completely wrong in so many ways how your culture has evolved to ‘expect’ a tip. Its fake culture. It’s down to US citizens to change culture from within 😢 sorry for sounding harsh!!
Why do you hate to tip? We do tipping in the UK too and if you don’t, then well idk. But every single restaurant I go to, they either have 12.5% service charge added to the bill already or they give you the card machine and it asks if you’d like to add a gratuity. I don’t think it’s a big deal. If you can afford to go out, you can afford to tip. I always do 10-20% depending on service. And if service was trash, no tip 😅
The issue is the law that allows companies to pay less than minimum wage. And because of that tipping is expected even for bad service or even no service. Tipping and wages should be separate IMHO.
@@leahmcdermott4189 so let's tip everyone. Doctors, fireman, teachers. Why is that considered a bribe?
@@ovidijusvoronkovas1150 It’s not the same. More often the not, servers are paid minimum wage in the UK and God forbid you’re from the US, where they can be paid beneath minimum wage. So tipping is necessary to a lot of servers survival. I don’t see why some people are so against tipping. It is what it is. At the end of the day, it’s a choice, to show that gratitude is a choice 💕.
It started as a gratuity, then evolved into an expectation, now it seems to be a demand, and in the future it could become extortion. Tipping has gone out of hand in USA.
I worked in UK as a bartender for many years, and 80% of my salary was tips, once I went to a bank asking for a mortgage i had 40% deposit they denied the mortgage because my main salary was in tips
And it wasn’t reported on taxes
😂
Yea...I just don't eat out anymore. Paying someone extra is such a ridiculous concept.
This is how entitled American society is. During covid industries that weren't normally tipped started asking for a tip. I could forgive it, since we were in the middle of a pandemic. But the sense of entitlement is disgusting. There is no longer a pandemic, but of course these companies are like, "why should we stop asking and pressuring for tips?" Similar to the automotive industry and how despite there being no longer a shortage of cars, these dealerships still have the audacity to add a mark up
Maybe start paying people living wages before complaining about entitlement lmao
and when you call people out for their entitlement- they get mad at you.
I thought I was the only one. It's ridiculous min tip on the menu is 20% on a takeout order
That you have to pay BEFORE getting the service and the food.
They have now started adding credit card processing fees. I reduce the tip accordingly to cover the fee . It's ridiculous, they should be eating the processing fees.
Processing fees are ridiculous.
It's the same in Canada too now. Even the corner store cashier that never serves anyone except scan the items at the cash, has a tip jar & if you pay by card, you get to choose between 15, 20 & 25%. It's gotten out of hand.
Yeah I just don't tip jobs that I know are paid properly or don't involve "Service"
you can and should hit no tip or custom tip
@@johngault200 and sometimes the "no-tip" does not show in the first page. You have to click "other", and select "no-tip".
Do the cashiers ask for tip in large stores like Walmarts?
@@incisor78 most of our walmarts don't have cashiers anymore. It's all self-checkout 😐
The big chain retail & grocery stores don't usually have a tip jar as far as I noticed. But yes, the CC machines always have the tip option on all payments, I just skip it when possible or put 0 $ if forced to enter an amount.
I stopped caring when I remembered that it’s my damn money and they weren’t there when I was slaving off to make it.
If you don't support tipping culture than then go to restaurants that condone tipping servers. You not tipping isn't changing the system or hurting the restaurants the only person it hurts is the server. They're there working just like you are except you get paid hourly or by a salary. When you don't tip the server is paying money out of their pocket to serve you because we still have to give a certain percentage of out tip to the support staff like bartenders and busboys and that is not fair to them either. For example let's say you're Bill is $100 I have to tip out $5 to the support staff whether you tip or not. So you not tipping the 20% or $20 on the $100. Not only didn't I get the $20 I'm out another $5 because I still tip out the support staff. So I'm out $25 now. Not cool.
So true
@@welbyncastro9169 Still don’t care. Things will never change until you guys start taking it up with your employers. Until then, I’ll stay selfish and unbothered like a true capitalist slave.
Very true
@@welbyncastro9169 the problem is on you. Give the customers this explanation this time. Some might melt, some might furious.
Tipping is a scam, they make you feel guilty when the employer should pay the employee.
I'm a former Domino's delivery guy (fairly recently), and was always a staunch supporter of tipping. Since the pandemic, though, the food's gotten worse and prices have gotten higher. And everyone's got their hand out! I don't eat out much anymore.
I'm curious, what percent tip are people paying out these days for delivery?
I don't eat out much anymore either, and if I do, I try to stick to places where no tip will be expected or even asked (which means fast food).
Last night was my last night as a delivery driver for dominos. In a year and a half I have gotten t boned by a kid running a stop sign, one of my customers answered the door with a gun in the ready position while I was training a driver, and got bit by my customers neighbors dog. As many miles and wear and tear as we put on our cars and the fact that they cut your pay when you leave the store to where you kinda rely on tips, it just wasn't work my safety and putting myself and car through hell anymore. I'm off to a different part time job.
@@katherinesproat1081 I don’t tip unless it’s really good person and service and doesn’t ask. Like people wanna get tipped when I get a drink or two like relax I don’t even get tipped on the regular but I don’t complain as well
Do you support tipping your doctor, mechanic, or plumber ? ... if not, why ?
Don’t forget that a lot of the percentages are based on total bill, which includes taxes and fees. Tip should be based on what you ordered alone, not taxes and fees. I always do my own calculation.
It's especially out of control where places that are entirely self-serve are asking for tips.
I should get the tip then. Lol
I donated to a lady’s GoFundMe for her corrective surgery and GoFundMe asked if I wanted to leave a tip….. like I’m sorry what????
Try walking away completely. Tried that yesterday and was asked to “close it out.” He had put a brownie in a bag. I canceled the transaction and paid cash with no tip. It was a weird standoff.
Are you sure there wasn't a "no tip" or "other" option where you can enter 0%?
Just press no tip.
Wow! He wanted a tip for a brownie in a bag! It's getting to be ridiculous!
Key question: What is the IRS taxing? Is it still 15% for waiters, and nothing for people selling at the counter? I would really like a clear answer.
If so, the proper tip for expected service is the taxed amount, good service deserves a higher amount, and poor service lower or even 0. And for service that isn't taxed by the IRS, 0 unless I feel that I get superior service.
Lets face it, some of those expected to tip earn less than the tipped personnel.
As to how to fix it from the business side it is simple:
- Pass a federal law that forbids paying less than minimum wage, mandates that any service fees be included in the listed price and be 100% dedicated to the person that gave the service, include that included service fee in the taxed amount but stop taxing any extra tip that is given since it would not be guaranteed.
The results would be:
- There would be oscillations in salaries during the first year but the law of offer and demand would drive salaries and service fees to a new balance point.
- Normal service would go back to tipping only for above average service at the discretion (and ability) of the tipper.
- Employees would lose nothing, and would have more predictable income. Plus those who routinely give above average service getting the deserved estra rewards.
Tipping is a way for employers to avoid paying their employees
I visited Italy in March and going out to eat at restaurants was so much more enjoyable knowing you don’t have to tip. Not to mention the amazing food and service you receive.
This is what I love in the UK! We only really tip if we're happy with the service, and even then, it's up to us how much or how little we want to put with no fear judgement 😊
Great video. My career was in high end restaurants. Even with un undergraduate degree, it was a great living with flexible hours. I retired with the pandemic. There’s a whole other side too. The company I left started making the waitstaff pay for the credit card fees. Then, the other big thing is the disparity between the front of the house getting big $$ and the back of the house who are making the food getting minimum wage. I do not think you should tip for take out and self service.
I hit "no tip" without shame! At sit-down places I tip based on the quality of sevice.
It’s quite a toxic culture today
Also add to this , shaming people for not tipping big or telling them if you can't afford tipping don't go out. Really?
“Why am I getting arrested officer?”
Officer: because you gave 20% tip
How dare you? Only 20%????
In that situation super wog1 video i remember where a jony goes in Japanese restaurant name kazus😂 and Jonny only give a 20$ tip for food 😂 and next time when they goes in restaurant the owner give him a toilet seat😂 just b'coz he not was a good tipper

@@suryanshkesarwani9688 That's not realistic though, in Japan there's essentially no tipping culture. Unless you mean one that's in the states.
Bro... jokes a side 20% is too much. I'd be comfortable paying 10% not more.
I never tip when picking my dinner other then occasionally telling them to keep dollar change. I also have no problem not tipping at a restaurant if the service is bad.
I always ask for an itemized reciept and I don't pay more than 10% tip. And in the restaurants where I do not receive a service I don't tip, I work hard for my money!

As a former bartender (US), now working in a regular job I’m on board with keeping up with not tipping. A living wage should be in place, keep up not tipping, encouraging this positively for the better :) .
I tip with my lip and tell them to get off the charity ship and get a GRIP!!
I've never had a single hesitation about pushing the "no tip" button. 😂
I always say no to tips, or donations. I only consider it for restaurants, and delivery.
@@doubledown8229 I deliver other than pizza and there are people that refuse to tip anything, every time and we go through traffic, weather and carry heavy items right to their door. If we didn't get tips no one would do the job for the hourly wage they pay us. We have staffing problems as is.
@@MrLaughingcorpse And that is why you should negotiate for standard wages. Going through traffic and delivering food is part of your job and pay should be standardized accordingly. There should be a customer feedback system based on the quality of service and your bonus should scale accordingly like any other standard job.

A tip is a compliment for GOOD service , not just service
In the Philippines, a third-world country, tipping is not mandatory. Tips are only for restaurants where you have to ask for the bill. If you have to pay at the counter, it becomes weird to tip. Yes, Starbucks and McDonald's included. That said, it's still not mandatory and it's not frowned upon if you don't. And this is from a rather 'poor' country whose employees' wages could definitely do better.
Preach!
Enjoyed the content. Here's an idea...How about doing one on charity roundoffs at every freakin' register these days. It's ridiculous. The business collects roundoff funds from customers(in the name of random charity) and then takes the credit for their charitable contributions as their own! Say no to the corporate charity roundoff scam.
I always say no to that. I stopped feeling guilty a long time ago.
Never said YES to that. Just say, you have a charity you donate to already.
What I find sketchy is the extreme idea of million dollar companies using the consumers' money to pay employee salaries/wages via guilt tripping, in hopes of warping the status quo.
It feels like passive aggressive bullying that the average person has little to no power to stop.
Exactly but when they can’t find workers then they’ll get the message
The rich get super rich off the poor. These are the same dynamics at hand.
I am generally a good tipper, but lately, I don’t even get a thank you. It’s like they deserve it. I appreciate the servers but I also want to be appreciated with a thanks for your generous tip.
Did you thank them when you got your food?
As a former server I made on average of $25 an hour. That was before COVID. After COVID it went down to $14 an hour. I quit that job and went somewhere else. In my area in 2018 $25 / hour was phenomenal. That’s not even what someone made with a 4 year college diploma got. But I noticed ever since tipping got out of hand everyone started to tip less
Exactly!!! You all cry, that you are poor.. but SERVERS ARE AND SHOULD BE A MINIMUM WAGE WORKERS!!!!! Anyone can technically do your job... the same housekeepers.. thats why there is a Minimum pay... for guys like you.. I was a housekeeper, and had no tips.. but ended up making alot of money in Eurpe.. ( up to 6k a month), because I was really fast and really good... I asked for more hourly rate, nightshifts and weekends... Honestly, I would never give myself such a salary... As I was just cleaning.... But I know, that Hotel/Restaurant staff can make Alot lf money... DONT TIP THOSE BASTARDS!! Maybe those Top-noch ones give them 2-3 usd MAX!!! ..
Aussie here - I actually turned down a job offer in New York recently, one of the main reasons being I absolutely cannot stand tipping culture. Pay a decent minimum wage and do away with that ridiculous system.
Living in Europe the past few years and had no idea this whole tipping phenomenon had become so prevalent. Here the waitstaff are paid a decent wage and no one tips except American tourists.
Love Europe!
Not true…as native european i completly disagree…in my country its normal to pay tips…but its small amount not % part of bill..
I’ve been a waiter in europe. It is a joke you can’t survive. I lived with my parents i still had to ask money from them
No true at all! Tipping is expected in most places, however 10% is normal or just adding €1-2 as a student is totally ok
Yeah but you feel less pressured to give high tip like in North America for example
Don’t let those greedy bastards try to shame you into giving them more money.
He gives the impression that we customers have to do everything better (tip even more) and bear the responsibility.
My rules: only tip at a restaurant when being waited on, when receiving delivery at home, or for things like taxi service or moving men.
Bars too, not that I buy a beer for the price of a six-pack very often, but occasionally.
@@alkaliwreck2474 yes and no. Because if you’re just pouring wine into a glass, I ain’t tipping. If you’re full on making a cocktail then maybe I’ll leave you something small for the effort. But definitely not a crazy tip.

@@stephenw3941 i agree completely.

My first visit to the states to see family. Families that I have not seen in 20 years. Tipping is an experience I will never forget. I have never been to a single country where so much enthuses has been placed on tipping. Instead of coming home with fantastic stories and souvenirs. All I can share with the family was how devastating tipping was and how much more spending money I would have had if i didn’t have to pay a gratitude & tipping on top.
Dont do it next time friend
Tipping was only expected for actual service (not for things like takeout or a someone who serves you a coffee) until 2020. This is a very new phenomenon, and anyone who caves is enabling the problem. Also, 10%-15% was also acceptable tips before 2020. If you ever come back here, simply don't do it. Please don't. If you do, as I said, you are making it worse. You don't need to feel guilty.
When you are traveling, TRY not to dine-in. Just grab something for to go, you will save a lot of that tip towards your trip instead. Besides, you save a lot of time from wine & dine, use that time to explore the city. Grab a sandwich or a box of sushi, simple!
There should be a regulation on tip rather than a custom because as a foreigner, what I’ve seen so far is that so many restaurants abuse tip. We even have to tip at their expected rates while they let us wait so long or even it’s a take-out service. I understand it’s a custom in the US but still, I am unable to get it why it should go this way lol
Don’t tip takeout. It’s a scam
Here's a tip... dont eat out, live like a king, invest and retire young. When you have a fat wad you have reached a tipping point. However that lifestyle is what drives many different investment opportunities 😅
Am I the only person that hits no tip and then just walks away without a problem
No, I do it all of the time. Not going to tip a counter person or cashier at a store!
Seriously, I’ve had no issues with this & I don’t feel “guilt”😂. I’m not obligated to tip, only to pay for my food.
The worst thing about tipping culture Is that, like a lot of American trends it is now in the UK. The serving staff get paid a adequate minimum wage or morebut now they are asking for 10+%
Tipping... Oh man... That skit is too real.
On the one hand, yeah, restaurant minimum wage is brutally low so I get it. But on the other hand, I'm paying $10 for a nearly fast food situation that has maybe $3 of input costs. There comes a time where the company simply needs to pay their workers.
In my area, waiters are paid 11.80 an hour. Many of the people looking for tips are already making minimum wage of 13.80. My daughters BF works at a counter service pizza place. He is getting 20 an hour with tips. My younger kid just got a job at Starbucks. She is making 13.80 an hour and also gets tips!
You know what will stop this problem from spiraling out of control? STOP TIPPING!
Corporations are the ones who needs to learn to pay their employees better. Also the employees need to learn that they are not entitled to free stuff.
The option of tipping is not the problem.
