You’re 💯 right. Tipping is completely out of control
My husband and I went to a restaurant, and the waitress took our order, then stopped 2 tables away and sat down to bs for 10 minutes b4 even putting our order in! We were in a rush that day, but she decided her socializing was more important than us and our order. It was the first time I left a penny tip along with the tip of doing your job b4 sitting and socializing when your customers are hungry and under time constraints. Any place that adds a tip w/o my consent, I refuse to frequent it anymore.
I have had that happen to me and it’s just so frustrating , put in my order then talk to your friends
Tips should be EARNED for extraordinary service and pleasantry.
A tip should never be given for anything except exceptional service and kindness from whoever you’re dealing with. 0 tip for handing me an item. 30% for professional courteous exceptional service. Not having to ask for refills clearing my dirty dishes off table without being asked knowing what I need before I ask. That’s why you tip….
Theres the problem, 30% is far too high. If the total bill is $20.00 including tax. = $6.00 If two persons eating out, nothing fancy and total including tax is $80.00 = $24.00 No way mate. The expectations are being set far too high.
I don’t tip unless it’s a sit down restaurant
No way in hell I’d tip someone for bringing me my money on a hand pay. Ridiculous
I've had this issue at the horse races. If I cash a nice healthy ticket, the tellers expect a tip/share. Why? They don't pay me when I lose.
exactly!
Exactly, it’s ridiculous. If you gave him a tip today and lost all your money tomorrow, not a nickel left and said hey can you help with the bus fare home, he would call security, saying throw the bum out. By what audacity do they expect a tip. You have paid tax on the winnings up front, however, you don’t get a tax refund off set on any winnings. As a long time punter and owner, you have really given me quite a laugh. There would be a riot if someone tried that here in Australia. Aussie’s do not tip. Yes, it’s creeping into higher class Restaurants, perhaps 10% max. We do tip, cal a sling, the Groom, when the horse wins, as they Work their rear off and long hours looking after a very valuable animal and also the Jockey of course. If it loses of course, well though. Spend another pile of money getting ready for the next race somewhere.😊
@@leonstone4738 My daughter worked in Brisbane, Australia in a nightclub as a waitress and didn't get tips. She made a decent salary so didn't have to depend on them. BY the way, I loved visiting Australia; beautiful country, and friendly people.
I'm all for tipping especially since i used to rely on them as a bartender... But you're completely right, it's gotten out of hand. Half the time i feel guilted into it.
I was a bartender and it is very much a service position and depending on the bar, it takes skill. Anyone at bar can easily assess how much effort a bartender is putting into servicing you and in most cases they are not paid the full minimum wage. I worked in a beer and shot bar and made over minimum wage. I wasn't working for tips but I would hustle more for the customers that tipped well.
Yes, it is ridiculous of how much people think they should be tipped. I just stop going to places that expect tips. I cook alot of my own food so I don't have to deal with it. What are these people going to do when they don't have a job because customers stop coming? They better go back to school and make "themselves valuable " so they can make good money .
I totally agree with you. If I stand to order my food and pick up my own order -- no tip! If ordering food in drive through - no tip. Also, if I go to a restaurant and I never see my server other than to bring my food (no refill on drinks) - minimum tip. Tip should be based on service -- tips should not be considered a requirement on all purchases. Tips are based on service received.
tipping on service should be the norm, and not tipping cause it’s expected!
Well said Dave. We aren't too far from having the option to tip the person who rings up our groceries. It's getting ridiculous.
I tip at sit-down restaurants, curb service delivery (I sit in my car and someone brings my order to me), and the person that cuts my hair.
I totally agree with you. Tipping has gotten out of control. If I am in a restaurant I usually tip about 15 to 20% but do not tip at a fast food place like McDonald's or burger king.
Tipping for a handpay is crazy to me. I’m not tipping when I’m forced into you bringing me money because you don’t have fast pay and I could just print out a ticket.
I tip when I choose to be served, at restaurant, when I order a drink, when I valet. I chose those services, they get tips. But when I’m forced into a service I don’t want, absolutely not.
I held this opinion and still largely do. However, I have discovered that many casinos do consider their slot attendant positions to be tipped positions. This means they are largely depending on tips and not wages as their primary income source. I personally despise casinos that do this and think attendants should be paid at least a living wage and not rely on tips. But I can't punish the attendant for decision the casino makes. So I do tip 1%-2% on handpays with my total tip being limited to a couple hundred or so, depending on service, size or number of jackpot(s), etc.
What I really don't understand is people who tip their host! To me that's like tipping your car salesman.
This is a great video, and what you say is true. I have now gotten to the point where it almost makes you want to tip less when it comes up on the reader or whatever. I no longer feel guilty hitting no tip on an app or on one of the credit card readers.
Totally agree. I have seen news stories where self checkout retail places prompt you to leave a tip. Are you kidding me? You also have to be careful at sit down restaurants these days. The other day I almost didn’t realize they added the 18% gratuity to the check and would have tipped her twice if I didn’t see it.
Here's a tip the people at fast food places have $1200 cell phones & are on them! I have to stand there and wait for service many times! Get a better budget system people if you want to get out of fast food. No tip from me- no customer service.
Tipping IS out of control but how expensive someone's phone is shouldn't be a factor. NO, I'm not a waitress
I think the point is, if their cell phone is better than mine, they have different "priorities" than I do.
As was stated, minimum wage jobs weren't intended to allow you to "prosper", just "maintain".
Most of time we don't eat out because of the tips👍
that’s what i think more people are gonna do
One of my favorite (real) Mexican restaurants added a Mandatory 15% tip to their bills. (Before Covid, any amount of people). I haven't been back since then !! Tips are/should be EARNED. If a place can't afford better wages, then raise your prices. Don't try to guilt me into it with "tips".
Having a mandatory tip defeats the reason why they say tipping is beneficial. If you are guaranteed a tip where is the incentive to provide good service. Just pay your server a fair wage and mark up your prices 15%. The only situation where I find that appropriate is when a minimum tip is automatically added for large parties.
You said it all when you said tips should be EARNED for extraordinary service and pleasantry.
I agree! It’s gotten out of control. We had horrible service at a restaurant recently and we still left a tip (minimum but still a tip). After watching this I’m thinking again that we shouldn’t have left a tip at all. Why were we rewarding terrible service?! (We do tip very well for good customer service)
I saw on RUclips that the meat for Tacos is faked in Taco Bell, so I made my own.
@@tigerkhanshort3053 I don't eat there.
It’s the people on social media demanding that we tip waiters, waitresses, housekeepers in casinos, etc because THEY claim these workers don’t make a living wage. So we as consumers are OBLIGATED to help them out by tipping.
These people claim that these workers “depend on tips.”
Starbucks has it on the screen for tipping!!
They’re paid to make the order. Unless they actually do something exceptional outside their job, why must we tip?
The casinos thing is totally BS the casino workers are paid well as they don’t want them stealing , so you pay well.
@@GambleSmart I do tip for hand-pays, drinks and housekeeping.
@@GambleSmart hello mr gamble smart, i quit, i will never go again after yet another harrowing weekend.
i AM the biggest gambling loser on the planet, i do not have any competition.
i can bankrupt any casino i go to by simply starting a gambling channel.
because, let's be honest, would you go to a casino if you see someone proven on video to walk out of said casino with ZERO MONEY EVERY SINGLE TIME?
unless you are the biggest idiot on the planet of course.
you have stated you gamble smart if you do not chase a win.
this is a blatent lie for EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has sat next to me EVERY SINGLE TIME for 12 years running, they ALWAYS win massively for their bet staying on a machine the whole time.
i'll tell you my complete and humanly impossible story later when i've sorted things out.
Another thing to pay attention to, is sometimes the tip is already included in the tab, and don’t even get me started on the added charge for using a credit card.
I absolutely agree! Tipping is nuts! It should be up to the employer to have a decent wage for the employees. As the consumer, I shouldn’t have to make up the difference. The person behind the counter is doing a job.
Agree 100%.
I use to bartend for a friend of mine in his brewpub and we had Growlers which most brewery's do. (Many years back before tipping was so out of control.)
What I always thought was weird was if I poured a glass of beer for someone setting at the bar it would maybe take me 20 to 40 seconds, however if someone brought in a growler and wanted it filled.
I would empty the growler, wash, sanitize, and dry it, inspect the cap for mold, if there was any I would replace the cap, fill the growler and give it back to the customer which would be around 3 to 5 minutes give or take.
However what I found was, that almost every single person setting at the bar that I spent very little time with always tipped and the person with the growler which took quite a bit of time would never tip.
Now I am not complaining, because I was literally doing it for fun and to help out my friend.
The money was never a thing.
I just found it interesting.
that is interesting and almost backwards, thank you for sharing!!
I got a Seamless food order the other night in Nashville. Prepaid a $10 tip and left instructions to leave food on the porch. The dude refused to get out of his car. I complained to Seamless and got the tip back.
I have heard this from uber eats and door dash , if the tip is not good enough they won’t take the order. I say, maybe thye tip on service ?
@@GambleSmart could be. The $10 tip was just over 20%. If that isn’t good enough for them that is too bad. In the future I’ll probably wait and tip with cash accordingly.
Dave is absolutely right. Check your receipts. We were at poolside bar at Venetian. Did not realize there was auto tip already included in the bill. Tipped on top of that. Talk about overtipping for premade frozen pineapple dole whips. 🤑
That sucks!! those tips included and then you don’t see it and tip more , now if the service was worth extra that’s ok, but so often it’s not!
I play poker with dave every week and this video just randomly got reccomended to me. holy cow 😂
They are watching you :) they are watching us all :)
It is totally ridiculous - I'm from the UK and have commented when you raised this subject before. Prime example in the US - I go to a bar and buy a beer, I tip. Then I buy another - I tip again. Rinse and repeat. In the UK, I'll buy a few beers and if the barkeep is friendly and efficient, I'll probably say: "have one yourself" - this doesn't mean he has to have a drink there and then, it's just a way of tipping, and it's totally 'not expected' by the employees! With the prices in Vegas being sky high, the tip, as a percentage, is even higher, so I restrict it to the cocktail waitresses, servers in restaurants and the limo driver who picks me up and any Uber drivers I use (if they're friendly and helpful). I downright refuse to tip a shop assistant when I've bought a pack of cigarettes or a can of soda. I'm glad it's not just me who thinks this. Also don't like the 'emotional blackmail' element of it. As always great stuff from you and Marc on all of your videos. Thank you.
Partly why I enjoy paying in cash is that it bypasses the electronic tip prompt. I hand over the money and wait for change. No one asks if i want to tip. If they have a tip jar and I want to tip, I do.
Of course sit down restaurants, hair salon etc have stayed the same.
At a concert or sporting event I tipped the usher for showing made my seat At the gas station. If it's full serve, I'll tip the attendant.
When I pick up my groceries and they bring it out to me. I tip them.
I was always curious on how much you should Tip at the buffet in the casino
I agree. I was doing the same thing. Throwing around money I don't always have just because I felt like I needed to. Thanks for the video.
If I'm sitting down at a bar/restaurant, I'm tipping. If I'm at a valet or someone is getting my bags, I'm tipping. If I'm at a Slot Machine and someone grabs a drink/hand pay for me, I'm tipping. Anything other than these situations, I'm not tipping. There is 0 reason to UNLESS I get extraordinary service.
pretty much the old way (the better way) sorry your employer is too cheap to pay you a better wage or is your employer really paying you what you really are worth, sorry but no one ever tipped me to do my job and unless your job falls into the above categories stated above, sorry get a better a paying job. Furthermore, if a business and I don't care what business they are adds a tip into my bill automatically they are getting a manager out there to take it off my bill. I did not authorize it, they aren't receiving it!
I tipped $30 for a $1800 handpay and i thought that was generous
No way id tip the casino for bringing me my money I won. Ridiculous
Tips for hand pays,, I would only tip if I got profit over my budget and won’t tip if I’m just getting back what I came with.
35 percent is outrageous. Sometimes I’ll tip a dollar at the counter out of guilt. But if the person is rude definitely not! In restaurants I tip 20 percent rounded up to nearest dollar. If the server went above and beyond I’ll add another dollar or two. An extra buck or two won’t change my life but could mean a lot to the person on receiving end.
Its almost like everything is spiraling out of control. Inflation, wages, rent, home prices, car prices, and so on. Now the hospitality industry is "asking" us to assist our fellow citizens in earning a livable wage. Something has to give/break sooner rather than latter.
It’s a race to see if we break first or they make changes.
I agree with you, Dave🎯
Absolutely agree!
It’s subtle manipulation. I order food or grocery delivery and the tip is preselected even before I complete the order and I feel bad when I deselect and choose a smaller percentage. I walk up order a pretzel, swipe my card to pay and I have to select *no tip’ as the cashier watches. Such pressure.
Yes the social pressure is there!
Marketing ploy just like casinos, using psychology to guilt you into tipping.
no pressure! someone gives me a look I tell them to pay the tip or they can just STFU!
I tip with cash or I don't tip at all. Even if I use a credit card to pay for the meal or service.
I have heard that places are taking a cut of tips , like at sonic if you tip with credit card they keep 30% before it’s divvied among employees
I was watching as a person received a sizable handpay in the casino. The first thing she told the employee was don't expect a tip from me. My question to you guys is what's the employee's opinion on a tip when you receive a hand pay? And how much? I think you should always tip the cocktail waitress when you receive a free drink. Tipping used to be a big part of Vegas and the employees went out of their way to give you great service. They're replacing customer service with automation.
Just like all tipping it’s always optional , but is anyone expects a tip, i am not tipping , it’s for the service you provide. if i get an attendant who is nice and friendly, i tip but no more than 1%. Unless the drink servers are totally jerks, they get a tip every drink cause that job is hard
@@GambleSmart yes being friendly and cheerful can make all the difference for that tip.
Dave I agree with you 100% But I want a Tip for saying that 😂 A decent sit down restaurant, valet and transit service is the only place tipping should be priority anything else is optional
Totally agree with you Dave.
Maybe we see a change but probably gonna get worse before it gets better.
I press 0 or no tip and smile in your face 😂😂😂
Karma
i just got a handpay last weekend at a local casino. I tipped $40 on a $1500 handpay. 2-3% is what I saw to be acceptable as I Googled what to tip. The lady that paid me seemed a bit surprised to get a tip at all. It's a pretty small casino so handpays probably aren't that frequent there. I do tip at sit down restaurants, usually 20%. 10% used the be the standard but that looks cheap now. I tip when getting my hair cut as well but its not that much. I have never tipped at a fast food restaurant. And some do bring your food to you. But it's not a continued interaction with the staff. They don't refill your drink, you do that. They don't clean up after you, you do that. If you want something, you must leave your table and go get it. I feel that doesn't deserve a tip.
Hey Dave, totally agree tipping has gotten out of hand. I will tip waitresses, waiters and bartenders (we usually have our meals at the bar) above the 20% if service has great. I think handouts $ are expected, it started when everyone was given money during Covid and its still expected in some form, look at all the people that are still not working, because of that. How many businesses that have closed cuz they can't find workers, so now it has become an expectation or is that tips are more expected because we are thanking the people that are working? All I know is that it is out of control. Probably said too much. Thanks for the great vid.
I agree!! Subway is a good example. Out of hand!
We go there often, but at this point they've asked so many times that I have 0 guilt about saying "nope"! With excitement. I hope they don't spit in our food or something petty over it because I know people who are that low.
You are right it is getting way out of hand I am not tipping as much as I used to I got all fast food place does it couldn't make my hamburger doesn't mean I'm gonna tip Them. I don't have a lot of money. Stand up order I stand up and wait and I leave and I'm not tipping for that
I agree susan!
Not only that, but they also want take your order if you go inside, you have to use the machine to order which I don't like.
With all the tipping culture the wages go down since its common knowledge that if its a job where you can be tipped, the minimum wage is lower. Hence its ridiculously good for big businesses like starbucks to push the employee expense onto the customer while also increasing the marked prices on drinks!
I tip all the time since covid. Need to look at that.
Agree! What grinds me is the auto gratuity. "For your convenience, we add 20% gratuity for the service, you are welcome to tip more if you would like." What the hell? This is more and more common at spas these days. Also, auto gratuity for larger tables. I never understood that policy.
I believe the 18% started because large groups are harder to serve and notoriously cheap.
I tip what I feel I want to give and I give it to the people that go out of their way with exemplary service... that's it.... It's actually quite simple it doesn't need to be over complicated and over thought...😮🎉
Hey, my problem with tipping is that the person I intend my tip for has to share it with everyother employee in the place. 🤔
yeah i feel you on that, i understand sharing but i am giving that person the tip and the slacker who did not get one , should not get that just because the person i tipped did great .
Here in Australia casino workers are not allowed to take tips, also most wins over $1,000 are paid by cheque. Tipping is frowned upon by most here however minimum wage is $23.23/hour (US$15.48) or $29.03/hour (US$19.35) for casual (non permanent with no sick or holiday leave) employees. Perhaps time Americans demanded a decent minimum wage for all. Side note, we also don't pay tax on winnings, a hand pay is an American only thing...lol
I hardly tip these days unless at a sit down and service is great.
Good topic
I agree with you. To go even further, I have an issue with fast food restaurants charging a delivery fee on top of a tip. I understand delivery is an added convenience and don't have an issue with tipping the driver, except for when my delivery is incorrect (it's usually too late to adjust at that point), but why do we need to pay the business extra money when the cost of food is already over-inflated?
Tipping doesn't have to go away completely I think, but I absolutely agree it is out of hand. I think it is mostly out of just pure greed most of the time. However, there are exceptions. Some fast food places here in Oklahoma (a notoriously poor state with lots of casinos and the worlds biggest casino... lmao) are for some reason not paid an hourly wage and they actually do need tips to make up for that and I honestly think that is really messed up they don't make an hourly wage. Not sure why that's still legal. Same thing with waiters/waitresses. They run around for hours on end fulfilling orders on their feet but don't make a wage? That's just cruel.
It used to not be this way but post pandemic we are the wage gap fillers
I agree it’s ridiculous already💯I’m
Not giving a tip at Starbucks or any fast food
Good Friday Dave. I agree tipping is out of control. You shouldn't have to tip cashier's like Five Stars gas stations, Grocery Stores. Walmarts. It should be the amount I can afford not everyone is rich. Thanks Dave.
I don't think people tip at those places I know I don't.
We tip 20% at sit down restaurants. There’s a buffet we frequent, where the server always remembers our drink orders and attends to her tables a bit more than the norm, so we tip her the usual table service tip. (We gave her an extra $20 as a Christmas present). We don’t tip fast food service, but when we order take away from our favorite restaurant we tip our server the usual 20% as she is the one who takes the order and makes sure everything is correct. She also remembers our usual order and names. When we go to Las Vegas next month, if I’m lucky enough to get a hand pay, I’ll probably tip a $20 depending on the size of my (hopefully large!) win. I don’t think I’ll be getting the kind of payouts that the high rollers get, but there’s always hope lol.
If any service we receive goes above and beyond, we tip accordingly. So, 20% as a base, more as earned.
As someone not from the US, the tipping culture is insane. In Europe you only tip in most circumstances if the service is really good... It's rarely, if ever, the norm.
Tipping in the US is basically a tax enforced through a social contract... I've even seen tip options in self service place... Like, who am i tipping?!
And don't even get me started on the fact that prices shown in the US almost never include tax, which I've seen nowhere else on earth.
true words and great post.
I tip 20% at restaurants, $20 for a handpay, $1 for a drink.
I am similar but on handpays it’s $20 up to where 1% is greater , but i am never obligated to tip this person.
I don’t tip at any point of sale. If I am at a burger place where I order at the counter, if after the meal and it was extraordinary, then I will put a couple dollars into the cash jar on the counter.
I tip 20$ for hand pay as well. Although I didn’t know it was customary to tip when I got my first hand pay until the person playing next to me told me.
I’m not sure why when it’s my money on the line, I’m tipping. The individual who brings me the hand pay when really the Casino should be paying them sufficiently. I do tip. In fact I over tip, but I get annoyed when the only service is to bring me my money and where there’s no extra helpfulness and usually there’s no appreciation.
I usually tip $100 for a hand pay. It’s fun, I didn’t have it before the jackpot, and the attendant and I have a great time talking.
I agree! Submway asked for a tip on the debit card reader!
Chipotle has a tipping feature in the mobile ordering....I haven't even got my food yet, I don't even know whether you got the order right yet (90% of the time they don't get it right) and I certainly haven't experienced any customer service by that point. It royally upsets me.
💯agree! I’m glad I’m not the only one out there thinking this lol
I 100% agree
do these people who say the minimum wage needs to be raised really believe the tip button will go away?
You also need to check the math! I saw a short video this week in which a 20% button actually produced something like a 27% tip with all the other choices also over-calculated.
That does not add up. It seemed like something went wrong.
I'm not discounting your topic but [U] and
I , as Vegas veterans [kno] where/when to tip...don't overthink it. Now, outside of Vegas, I can't think of an establishment wher I felt pressured to tip but, we all hav different experiences. Interesting topic....gg last nite(Mike's poker)...👍
I have a firm rule when or if I tip. If the suggested tip is on the check I refuse to tip. If you take longer than 1 minute when my drink is empty you’re getting nothing. If my food is not cooked properly you’re getting nothing. Tipping these days is a joke. Let the business owners pay their staff not me.
So, if you drink your drink down & the waitress is in the middle of serving an order & you drink the drink at that moment in time & she can't get to you within a minute, even though her hands are full, because she's in the middle of serving an order to the other customer, you won't give her a tip? Sometimes it takes at least a couple of trips to the pass bar to get the food served to the table, They have to get the food out right away, so the food is still hot(or cold,which ever the case may be)
I love how servers hand you the machine for credit card payment and give you the sad eye stare in hopes of getting a better tip. The tip percentage starts at 18 and goes from there. Sadly this occurs too frequently for me in restaurants these days. I think there's going to be a backlash sooner than later. Hopefully people will clue in to the European standard that tipping isn't mandatory or expected in a lot of places.
or say , just answer 2 questions , just say tip already!!
Yup. If I am not sitting down and a person is not taking my order then bringing my order then NO TIP. But what level (if the tip is warranted) do we start at? I am not normally going to tip higher than 18% UNLESS the service was above and beyond. If the service was sub-par then I am going to give a lower tip.
You are right
When paying by debit card, the machine should say: TIP ( %, $ amount, or No Tip), giving the consumer a choice. At least, that's the way it is in Canada.
When going to a Pizza Shop and I see the tip option, I think 🤔, "What have you done for me lately?" and tap No Tip.
Yeah, tipping is Out of Control. In some cases it should be called GOUGING.
How do you feel about tipping a dealer who hands you cards from a shuffling machine? I'm a pretty generous tipper, but usually I know the dealers end up with more money than I do. I have considered waiting until the end of a session of play, then tipping accordingly. Another thing I like to do is, instead of giving a dealer a tip, I play for the dealer for a few hands. Dealers usually enjoy being in the game, they have a chance to multiply a tip (paid for by the house) and I usually save a little money.
This younger generation tip to impress their friends and coworkers!!
But I think seniors are more careful about tipping.
Yes, as they should be,because thry are on a fixed income...
agree totally
I totally agree with you. Tipping in the US is out of control. I am from Canada, and we have started to see some of the American tipping practices infiltrate our culture, but thankfully, it's not quite as bad as down South yet. The Europeans and other cultures must think North Americans are nuts!
Totally agree
thanks for watching!!
This video has tipped me over the edge…😅
ha ha ha i see what you did there 🤣
There is a theater near me that serves food. They pay their servers $18 hr plus optional tip AND an automatic 18% "Gratuity" for every check for the kitchen staff.
😮
that’s nuts!! 18% automatic is just milking tips. raise the price then
Gambling establishments are tough for tips. I start with valet, usually $5 - $10, then bellman, $10 and because I always have to check in, another $10 when they deliver it to my room. Then there is the housekeeping, $5 a day if they don't offer daily bed making and room refresh, $10 if they do. If I win a hand pay usually 2.5% - $100 on a $4000 win. Cocktail waitresses usually only a buck or two because I'm not a drinker and only get water. Then there is the usual for restaurants, buffets less because they are almost completely self serve (5 years ago Paris had a buffet, much more expensive than advertised online, supposedly because it was a "CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH", but you had to go stand in line to get a glass of champagne, and use self-serve for coffee and soft drinks!). Then we start with the valet again if I want to go to another casino. Phew! I almost always put aside $200 just for tips. Used to be $200 was my whole gambling budget! Oops, I forgot the bathroom attendant, $5 for any special service!
Wow that’s a good spread of tips, but you are going on service provided , not just here is a tip , like do you tip the check in desk clerk?
@@GambleSmart No, I have never tipped the front desk staff. I go to gamble and don't care about getting an upgrade on my room. Before retiring I got free suites and meals because of my play level, but it was never what I needed. Just a room to sleep and stash my suitcase is good.
@@sherrellbennett1333 i agree they do not provide extra service by just checking you in
I think the best way to get around the tip guilt tripping at limited service outlets is to pay cash and then let them keep the change.
In Japan, you get the best customer service on earth and theres no tipping. They are happy to do their job for what they are paid. American greed is real!
100% agree
If I win a hand pay, I'm not tipping. They're not a partner in my losses, they're not a partner in my winnings either. That's reserved for my wife (and the IRS).
In Vegas I do tip for transportation, people at the front desk & bell desk, housekeeping, drink service and sit down restaurants. QSRs (Quick Service Restaurants) absolutely not due to my experience as a service tech for 200+ locations. You never know where the money is actually going (Hint: it doesn't always go to the workers).
This crazy tipping will stop when consumers start refusing to tip unnecessarily.
At the casino, restaurant,housekeeping(They always bring extra stuff for us),valet and bellman(Don't use very often) and hand pays. Drinks if they come by. Most of the time you never see anyone.Spa and room service sometimes.They always charge 20% so that just depends on the service.I agree it is out of control.
I do not feel bad if I do not tip in a counter-order situation, I actually enjoy the ability to tip when I feel that I have been given truly good service and I will be generous. I agree with your point that the real issue is wages paid by the businesses, especially when a job is designed to be paid primarily via tips.
I agree, raise wages, so that employees don't have to depend on tips!
They tried that in Calif. and it's a disaster.
I'll generally tip $1 per drink when playing slots/tables. 20% at the restaurant/bar/pool, and when I play tables, I'll play a few hands for the dealer and whatever small chips I have leftover when I color up ($5 and below) I'll throw to the dealer.
I am very similar in my tipping but if you are a jerk, then it’s a no, i want to reward the ones who go a good job. not the ones who think they can coast and still get 20%
@@GambleSmart same. What part of Texas are yall from? I’m the southeast part. So we frequent lake Charles area and Biloxi.

Funny thing is when I play video poker I seek out the game with the best pay tables. Often that difference is 1 to 2 percent or less, but then I tip for so many things that most likely wipes out any gain from that slim edge. About a year ago I did make the decision to pay myself first when gambling. So if I sit down at a table game I'm not tipping unless I'm winning. Might rub people the wrong way, but all the tipping was starting to become a line item in my weekend expenses. That being said waitresses, cleaning lady, bartenders...will always get a tip.
I have to admit that I will more likely cook at home because the cost of the meal + a crazy expected tip is out of my budget. We're now entering bribery/extortion territory with these tips.
It's a way for cheap employers to pay their employees under the federal minimum wage.
Tips should be for a “service provided” not just for doing your job. It’s just another way to raise the cost to the shopper.
I feel that the tip reflects the service , you should not expect the tip for making the sandwich , but if you are personable and they remember your order , that’s service.
This is a sore topic with me....
Nominal tips are fine (for example, rounding up to the nearest $5 multiple on the price, so a ticket with a $23.50 price, round up to $25 for $24.50, round up to $25 still)
Tipping in a sit-down restaurant is an exception (10%-20% is customary). A casino hand-pay is an exception (1%-2% is customary).
Tipping at the fast-food place, or the service shop for your car or any of the numerous places that constantly ask for tips just grinds my gears. They may as well get signs begging for money and stand on the street corner.
All the folks saying that this is being cheap, or that people rely on those tips to earn a living, simply are short-sighted.
How about the government ask you to voluntarily increase your house taxes by 35% every payment, or the grocery store asking you to tip the cashier 25% of your grocery bill? How about your car insurance company asking you to add an extra 20% to your monthly bill because their clerks need the money? (All this on top of the already increasing prices of 20% per year)
That is what all these businesses are doing that keep asking and expecting a tip.
My response is, get the heck out of the service industry. Just because they feel entitled to your money, does not mean you need to comply. I say for them to get a regular hourly job. (There is such a huge employee shortage in this country right now, that anyone that says they cannot find a job, simply does not want to work or they are impaired with something that prevents them from working a regular job. - Either way, it is not my responsibility to supplement their income because they do not want to hit a daily grind.)
When I eat out, I tip VERY generously, but only if the service was good. If not, the tip reflects that. In a casino, I typically tip 3% on machine hand pays (where they have to do a little work, and to encourage them to handle any additional hand pays I get quickly) but I limit this to a maximum of $100, per $5,000 won.
For table games, I will place a few bets for the dealer as I am playing, which ultimately is a tip, but I rarely tip directly on a winning hand. It took no extra effort on their part to deal the hand, nor did they have any extra amount of effort to pay it out. (beyond the base elements of their job) The exception is if it is a big win based on the wager amount. For example, a $20 bet on Mississippi Stud could return $8k on a four-of-a-kind, and I did tip the dealer $200 on that win. (2.5%)
I do not use uber, lyft, food delivery or any other of these services. I do not have pizza delivered or anything else, so in my opinion, these industries need to be trimmed WAY back, and then perhaps these companies could afford to pay the remaining drivers a living wage.
Also, I refuse to do business with any company that asks for a tip when placing an online order (for example, Little Caesars pizza) - The reason is, when they see a person did not include a tip with the order, you can get 4-1 on your money that they mess with your food.
These places are simply goofy. Would folks want Amazon to ask for a tip to fulfill your online order? How about your drugstore when they renew a prescription online for you?
It has simply gotten out of control and will continue until folks refuse to comply. - Remember, people only do what others allow them to do.
I will step off the soap box now, but like I said, this topic really makes it hard to contain contempt for it.
thanks for the great input!! and that’s for watching, i only see the tipping issue getting more heated and more of an issue
Boy do I agree to you....
I only go to completely automated A.I. restaurants.
I've never tipped at a drive-thru. On occasion, if the change was minimal (< 0.25), I'd tell the person at the window to keep the change.
Once, at a casino, as I approached a slot I wanted to play, there were several empty beer bottles & glasses, & a full ashtray (yuk!) between the slots machines. I started to walk away when a custodian came up and started cleaning up the mess. As she did so, I pulled out a couple of dollars and handed them to her when she finished. She was so grateful! Said she very rarely gets tips.
I do the same at casinos when they come and clean the area up for me. I feel they are underappreciated.
Why tip? It's her job
Truth be told here, it has a lot to do with people that over tip or tip without a reason other than a personal ego thing. And that has set everything in motion for what is actually happening. Businesses have seen it as a way to supplement wages and play customers in different way's to tip for nothing. And the employees who used to have a grasp on the idea that exceptional service normally resulted in a nice tip have evolved into people that feel everyone is obligated to tip for no reason other than them being there. It's a shit show now.
well said !! thank you for watching!!
Thanks for the vid Dave….
Here’s a tip. It’s a free country (so far). Tip as you see fit. Every consumer controls what they tip, if they tip, and who “deserves” to be tipped. Who gets to define what the tipping rules are? It’s up to each individual. It’s an option. If you “feel” obligated that’s on you. You control your money.
I think there are bigger things to worry about than this… just my 2 cents 😂
Unfortunately you don't have that option anymore! Auto tip is embedded in many companies now. Spas, restaurants, nail shops, even hairdressers are mandated tips. I will change companies if tipping is mandatory.
@@michele5327 I never heard of auto tip, until I read these coments !
