      trust me most people in the US think it is insane as well. It is always a big battle here between people who think tipping should be mandatory and people who think it is their right to exercise not tipping or tipping poorly simply because it isn't really mandatory to tip at all. It is always a battle of wills. Then there are people like me who think we should abolish tip culture and maybe just make business pay their dang employees and that perhaps we shouldn't be enabling this practice. I use to work in food and have to rely on tips, however in my state business are required to make up for lost wages if tips did not equal minimum wage.. which is why tip share is a thing here which is also dumb for it's own reasons.
      Don't get me wrong I do tip when i go out however i just think it needs to go.

      @mommy2libras 3 месяца назад

      Wrong. You know how eating out works. And tipped wage is good for the lower economy. As someone who spent over 20 years making 2.15 an hour, let me, who has experience and lived in that socioeconomic class, explain to you:
      With tipped wage, you are expected to tip anywhere from 10-20%. This allows servers, who might not have skills or education to find a different job, to have the opportunity to make more than minimum wage (in my home state of Alabama, minimum wage is 7.25- absolutely unliveable wage- no place in the US has THAT low od a cost of living). This also incentivezes people to actually take server jobs. Servers deal with the public more than any low ranking job- even in retail you might have to help someone find something every once in awhile but are often dealing with most customers just once at checkout.
      So let's say you get your wish tomorrow and all servers suddenly get minimum wage but tipping stops. Here's what will happen: restaurant owners WILL raise food prices anywhere from 20-40% and blame it on this "forced wage increase". Funny enough, those same people who complained about tipping a whopping 15% (that used to go directly to the server) will still gladly go out to eat and pay an extra 25 or 30% without saying jack sh*t. But now all you've done is created thousands more minimum wage jobs that no one can live off of. Congratulations. And now no one wants to be a server anymore. Do you think I'd have put up with all the sh*t I took for 20 years if it wasn't for the fact that I could make at least a little better than minimum wage? All the cursing, people calling me names, the disgusting messes, people actually throwing food at me? Hell no. Most people are lovely and go out to have a nice time but even then, you get at least one really nasty person per shift who think you're their personal servant because you're getting paid 2.15 an hour to bring them food (and they don't tip or tip like crap, too). And the servers who do take the jobs have no incentive to do a good job. They're making minimum wage regardless so what do they care if you wait 10 extra minutes to get your iced tea refilled? Or get the butter you're actually waiting on for your potato before it gets cold? Now they don't care because they're reserving some energy for the second job they had to get just to pay their bills. All because people whined about tipping 15-20% (and are now actually paying much more for the food). All you've managed to do is pay MORE for your meal (because restaurant owners WILL take the opportunity to make more profit) but made sure that the e tra went straight to the restaurant owner instead of those who do actual work enriching the owner. As well as made sure thousands who used to make at least enough to pay their bills now make crappy minimum wage. But great job on not having to tip anymore! Feel good?

      Honestly, even as a Canadian, where tipping culture is normal, it's difficult to fathom the differences. It can vary based on province here, but generally there's still a minimum wage for servers, although it can be a reduced wage. (for example $12 an hour instead of $15). Most of the provinces have now gotten rid of a separate minimum wage for servers, however.
      Still, it is more or less expected to tip, and it's a weird hybrid system. At least I know my server is getting minimum wage even if they're incredibly rude and I do decide not to tip, though. 😂

    • @hannahkritschgau3016
      @hannahkritschgau3016 Год назад +16

      I agree. I also have a different perspective. Tipping = commission. To me I provide top tier service so I’ve earned 18-20%+. A lot of servers don’t do that job and have an expectation to get 20%+ when they aren’t being hospitable, getting to know tables, being personable, upselling, etc. I think we should get rid of tips and up it to minimum wage.

    The tip thing in the states is so dumb. I used to manage restaurants in the UK. Tips were a great way of getting a snap shot on team interactions with customers. As all of our wait staff made at least minimum wage, those who would get high tips were clearly going over and above for their tables.
    Despite what some people say we definitely have a tipping culture in the UK. Some of my best waiters would make an extra £100 tips over a 4 hour shift.
    We would often use the amount of tips waiters made, to decide if it’s time to have the conversation with them as to whether or not they put themselves forward for a promotion.
    Fair pay is beneficial to everyone involved. I will never understand why restaurants in the states think that the way they pay their team is acceptable.

    The "If you can't tip al least 20% then you can't afford to eat at that restaurant" argument is ridiculous and puts the blame exclusively in the consumer for not being able or willing to pay for an OPTIONAL fee. It's not and should not be a tax. Those prices should be included in the price of the products and give a decent wage to service workers, period.
    It's not the waiters or service workers fault either, but judging people by tips is making a conflict between two groups of the same working class and not aknowledging the real issue coming from the government and the business owners.

      That’s what people from other countries are saying. They don’t even understand tips. Tips should be abolished, and the restaurant itself should pay their workers a living wage. She’s coming from the view point of the waiter, because she and her husband used to do it while they were in college. I don’t think she meant it quite the way she said it, because we all know it’s not our job to make their check up to minimum wage. This mentality will stick with us until we start simply paying our waiters minimum wage to begin with. In California now, they are going to start paying $20 or $25 minimum wage, even if you work in fast food and can barely put a burger together without getting mayo or ketchup everywhere.

      I agree, especially because I don’t believe everyone understands how the tipping system works. In my country, we only tip for the service (usually 10%), which means when the service is bad and waiters are rude we might choose not to tip or tip less - or tip more when the service is great. I think that’s quite acceptable and because some people tip more and others less, I’m sure it balances out when someone can’t or isn’t willing to tip 10%. But someone who treats themselves to an expensive meal (or even a meal that’s just expensive relative to what they’re earning) shouldn’t be the one who makes sure the waiter gets paid enough for their living costs. The business owner should pay their employees enough, as other employers are expected to, even if that means more expensive meals for the customer in the end. At least then the customer doesn’t need to feel guilty for not tipping, they just go to a less expensive place.

    Tipping culture is really wild. In Australia we don’t have tips and the fact that a server in America works their a$$ off their entire shift and their wage is paid by CUSTOMERS?! So… I’m going to a restaurant, paying $25 for food and then I have to add 20% to pay for the employee of someone else too??
    No wonder so many people open restaurants in America. They get all these employees they don’t have to pay and keep all the extra money from not paying them because the customer is paying them.

    In the video you say "If you want to expose yourself as a lousy tipper" but it is not that Black and White. I definitely disagree with being implicated in the employment salary of a worker who isn't working for my own company, but I do not "punish" the server for that belief. I absolutely think that a restaurant that cannot afford to pay their servers an actual living wage should not be in business. The onus should NEVER be on the patron who simply shows up for a meal and service, and expects that cost to be included in the cost of the food. You say that if you can't afford a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat at that restaurant, but I say that if a restaurant can't afford to pay a living and decent wage, they can't afford to be in business. No one owes anyone a business. This demands that patrons subsidize the business owner's bad choices in launching something they can't afford to sustain. If I choose to go to a restaurant (which I do not anymore post-pandemic) I tip generously because it is not the fault of the server that the restaurant is doing this, but I do think the business owners should have the onus on them since they own the business. I do not own the business and am not responsible for the pay of the employees. We do not expect shoppers to pay the wages of cashiers at grocery stores or retail shops etc. Imagine buying milk and eggs and then having to pay the cashier for checking the items out, because the business decided they just don't want to pay them a proper and fair wage and then having everyone get hateful and angry with YOU instead of the busyness owner. The business owners are not held even the slightest bit responsible, and servers have been known to go outside and hunt down and scream at patrons who didn't tip them well, instead of choosing another line of work or going to the business owner and airing those grievances with how they're treated.

    I wanted to add something to the tip discussion. In addition to the tip credit there are a couple other points I don’t see brought up as often. 1) regardless of whether the server recieves a tip, they still have to tip the host, busser and bartender (if applicable) based on the sales total, about 4-5% is standard. 2) the irs taxes you on the tip, at a minimum of 10% of the sales total, regardless of if they actually get the tip. So if you do not tip, the server has to pay to have waited on you, first with the tipshare and then to irs. The whole system is broken, but not tipping is not the way to fix it.

It all just sucks so I continue to tip generously and be kind to food service employees. But they deserve better than being reliant on customers’ understanding of etiquette 🥲

    Hannah, love your content. But as for tips, please advocate for restaurants (etc) to have to pay at least minimum wage, not necessarily the customers having to pay server’s salaries. I waitressed for years, and I agree the way things are in the USA now is not fair to hard working servers. But the right answer is to mandate employers pay at least the minimum wage. Canadian servers no longer have a tipped wage and servers have to be paid at least minimum wage. Most people still tip, but now it IS extra for good service, not for servers to survive.

  • @NimbleInfringement
    @NimbleInfringement Год назад +11

    This may be common knowledge, but I'll put it anyway: Tip for quickly calculating tips: Look at the total, move the decimal over 1, then multiply that by 2. For example, let's say your total is $58.74. Moving decimal over 1 gives you $5.87 (basically $6).Then multiply by 2, which gives you $12. So you should tip **at least** $12 if you're dong the 20% thing.

Like most people, I think it's outrageous that restaurant owners can get around paying their workers a liveable wage. Minimum wage is already so terrible: I think it's despicable that they have a loophole where they can pay workers even less. I want restaurant employees to be making a good wage so that my tip can be extra money, because that's what they deserve. They deserve a guaranteed income where they know exactly how much money they can count on, paid by their employer. But it's not a moral victory to refuse to tip and purposefully take money away from servers just because we want the system to be different. It hurts the server only. We have to actually fight for better working conditions and benefits for them. Call our legislators, unionize, demonstrate. Actually get together to make a difference instead of just refusing to tip and getting on a high horse to make ourselves feel better for not tipping.

      @@Cadapech I see what you mean, it is a similar moral issue than that of giving money to homeless people. Isn't your good deed actively supporting that the issue continues? The idea that giving fat tips will only feed the cycle: employers don't need to pay their servers more because they make fat tips, so you keep paying fat tips to make up for their salary. But there could also be made a point for devaluation of that work class because people accept to be underpaid. If no one accepted such a low salary, employers would have to raise the pay to be able to hire anyone, but because some people are so desperate they will take anything, employers get away with it, and some people may not even realize that they are somewhat contributing for their own devaluing.
      Also, when you go to a food place you know you need to give a fat tip because the server doesn't make even minimum wage without it, you are not only supporting that individual, you are giving money to the owners that underpays their employees. Is this also okay? Wouldn't it be better to only support places that do what is morally right, paying their servers fairly, and boycotting those that don't? Like Hannah said "if you can't tip 20%, you can't afford to eat at that restaurant", couldn't we make the argument for "if you can't pay all your servers minimum wage, you can't afford to have a business/restaurant"? In that, if restaurants close because people won't support it for this issue, they actually couldn't afford to be open, be it a big or small business.
      And I think a lot of people see eating out as a luxury, not thinking that, for some people, it is their only option (lack of time to buy groceries and cook, having a long commute that doesn't allow them to eat at home, not having a place to store home-packed meals at their work/school and many other possible circunstancies) and those people may be counting their pennies to pay for their meal. I think the point Hannah made about tips did not refer to those people that need to eat out and can't spare money, but about eating out exclusively as a luxury and being stingy about it.
      Now, all of this is just food for thought, I don't think there is a black and white conclusion on what should be done by individuals, as everyone has their own opinions and reasoning for what they do and none of them are wrong, as there is no denying that servers being underpaid is a serious problem that needs to be fixed by the government and authorities.
      I am particularly very against tip culture, as it is an employer's responsibility to pay their workers and people are doing the job they were paid to do, so tips should be reserved to exceptional service. It is also not fair to put that burden into a customer's backs. But I am also NOT from the USA, those politics do not apply here, so I say everything from a very removed standpoint, as I've never lived or known people personally that lived through it. Again, just food for thought coming from an outside perspective.

It encourages you to take all the risk of the restaurant onto yourself, and work for free for the restaurant hoping to get enough tips for it to be worth it. The restaurant OWNER should be taking on the risk, and should be paying you at least minimum wage regardless of how generous or rich the customers are, or how busy the restaurant happens to be. This restaurant took advantage of you, just like an MLM. And the tipping customers aided it, just like people buying MLM products. That restaurant should not be able to find willing employees when they refuse to pay a stable minimum wage. Why wouldn't you work a more stable job which isn't a scam instead? Probably because sometimes the tips were good. In other words, tips tricked you into letting yourself be taken advantage of.

    When I was a server, we were supposed to report our tips at the end of the shift, and if it didn't calculate out to be at least minimum wage per hour, the employer is required to pay the amount to get it up to minimum wage, and it's added to the paycheck. My fellow servers would often *not* report their tips, which I would think would make the employer make up the difference to minimum wage *plus* them getting to keep their tips separately (aka kinda cheating the system)? So unless employers were breaking the law and not paying the amount required to make up to minimum wage per hour, servers should not be only making $2-$3/hour. That's my understanding of it based on my own experience and having the requirements explained to me.

The idea of double-dipping by selling her downline the training is far from being the big ticket outcome of her strategy. If she focusses on showcasing her recruitment success and selling her recruitment course, her primary target market will be people who have big goals, big belief and little success in other MLMs. MLMers are chronic for opportunity jumping, so if she paints herself as the answer they are looking for and the key to making all of their goals and dreams come true, there will be a large number of them who will take the course and then join her team.

I used to think it was common sense, but apparently some people don't realize, so I think it's great you took the time to explain it!💛 Not to mention, in some restaurants, the servers are required to give a percentage of their tips to hostesses, bartenders, ect...so again, thanks for the awareness!!
