actually tipping started during prohibition in America because rich people wanted alcohol and would pay waiters to bring them it. To hide the fact that they were illegally buying alcohol they would say it was a tip to the waiter for good service
I've worked as a dishwasher. It's sweaty, dirty, wet, non-stop work. i see the waiters and waitresses standing around and flirting all day, and they get huge tips, on top of their salary. So they get almost twice as much money for half the work. I can barely afford to go to a restaurant, let alone tip someone that makes more money than I do.
Same here. Worked my ass off as a dishboy, which included mopping the entire restaurant myself and the bathrooms as well EVERY DAY! And I got paid way less than the waitresses who got tips once EVERY OTHER TIME (sandwich shoppe).
I hear ya man, when I was younger I had to work weekends busing tables and running the dishes. Talk about a nasty, miserable fucking soaking shit job. It was exhausting... and all for minimum wage (which at that time was 3.25 an hour if I am remembering correctly)
Luckily the people at the resturaunt noticed I was working harder than the waiters as a bus boy so they gave the tip to me instead in front of the waiter
Waiters are paid under minimum wage because the owners expect the customers to tip, which is insane. No other job expects its customers to pay for their employee's wages. It's cheaper for the owners.
+S Dew National law in the USA gives waiters a lower minimum wage than everyone else ($2 vs $8 IIRC). Legally allowing restaurant owners to screw them over in wages. Tipping is seen as mandatory because waiters should make at least minimum wage. Except the customer has to pay for some it. tl;dr USA is dumb
I’m a Brit, and when I went to the US with my family, we went to a restaurant and it was nice and whatever, but when the bill came, my dad paid it in full, but the waitress came out after us and sprinted down the street like Usaie Bolt and started having a rant that we didn’t leave her a tip, and we were confused af and just walked away
Im a brit aswell. Me and my family went to a nice expensive restaurant that basically ended the trip. We got up to leave when the waiters halted us and my 3 year old sister had to cough up 30$
Those fucking waiter doesn’t understand what tipping really is U might always get tip but when someone doesn’t tip you, you dont have the authority to force people to must pay you tip. They already paid your food, did it stated in the law that the server must get tip or it will be a crime for not to tip? They can say the customer is asshole for not giving a tip, but for me the person who got the audacity to force customer to tip them is a bigger asshole
They pay the workers in america. Just so you know: fuck libtards and socialist, i live my and not suffering, my boss gets paid a tiny bit more than me, and raising the minimum wage will force him to lay people off.
@@christopherjobin-official7440 "They pay the workers in America" Well clearly they don't pay them enough if begging strangers for change is a cultural norm.
@@grumpyturtle9682 of course having your life job be a beginner job is definitely not a stupid idea... Yep, Capitalism's fault, not someone getting a real job.
As a waiter, I genuinely hate that tipping has become so common in the US that restaurants use it as an excuse to underpay their staff. What used to be seen as a token of appreciation (pun intended) is now an excuse to exploit your workers.
I've argued with so many people in the US about tipping, it's bs. Almost every other country in the world doesn't make you tip. Hell, I took my wife out to eat the other day, and right when we were leaving the cashier picked up our bill and said "What, no tip?" that shook me at first because that's the first time I've been confronted about it. So I had my wife write down a dollar on the ticket or whatever. It's bullshit, a company should pay their employees, not me. You get paid to do your job, I shouldn't have to tip you for being nice, taking my order, and bringing me my food. That's your JOB, if you don't like it get another one. It's not like you tip at fast food, or anywhere else either. "Oh but the food cost will go up if-" then let it go up because I refuse to tip. I especially refuse to tip 20%. like really? I can literally go out to eat AGAIN if i pay another 20%, bs. Some of you might be reading this going 'oh he's just a cheap bastard" and that may be true to a certain extent, but my point still stands.
Then don't eat at a dine in. By not tipping you're not punishing the restaurant you're punishing the server. Plus they have to pay others such as bus boys 5% of their sales so they're actually paying to serve you your food.
Ah yes, I love England. I don’t have to pay 20% of the price of my meal to my waiter and instead the waiter is just paid enough that tips aren’t needed.

One of the reasons why I never applied for a job as a waiter is because of this whole tipping expectation. It would make me super uncomfortable. Almost like I'm being thrown a bone for doing my job. Luckily as a stripper I don't deal with that nonsense
Step 1: Open a restaurant in America Step 2: Pay your waiters for their job properly Step 3: Put out a sign saying "No tipping allowed in this restaurant" Step 4: Bathe in cash.
+MrRolnicek People have tried that and it failed miserably. Imagine if I went to [insert your favorite flavor of European nation here] and opened a restaurant with really cheap food BUT I put up a sign saying, "Tipping mandatory." No one would go there because it's outside the cultural norms. Same thing happened in America. No one wants to go to a restaurant where you don't tip because it feels weird to them. Plus, X waiters/bus boys like myself would refuse to not tip.
Constantine III Interesting thought, I guess americas financial riches lay beond this problem, waiting to be taken by the one who solves it (apart from fast foods as someone has mentioned here, they did this exactly including step 4 :-D)
I live in Ireland and I literally didn't even know what a tip was until we went to America and the waiter asked my mam how we were going to pay the tip. They even have the option to pay the waiters using card. Wtf?
Yeah in america tipping is a thing because waitress get paid bellow minimum wage in japan the company pays them at least minimum wage no matter what and the company would not accept a tip for their workers
@@stantorren4400 besides that, I think it's also a cultural thing a reason might be that you are implying they don't work enough (hence you give them money to compensate) this may be complete bullshit, but it does make sense if you think about it
In America, restaurant employees are paid less than minimum wage because they're expected to make up for the rest in tips. It's a shitty system and should be abandoned completely.
+Ryotaiku Though the employer is legally required to pay the difference to minimum wage when tips don't add up to it. But this requires reporting tips which no one (server or owner) do because then it's possible for it to be taxed.
*MINIMUM wage* Owner: We should pay our employees less than that. Employee: It's called minimum wage for a reason! Owner: We can just make up a rule where the customers give you your wages! Employee: but... They already pay us for the food... Just pay us with that money... Owner: *NO.*
bro, I wish I got minimum wage as a pizza driver, the fact is tho gas is expensive and they don't pay for that and a measly 5 /hr doesn't either , if you don't wanna tip a waiter , fine but it cost me money to get to you with my own car I'm putting miles on
I live in galati, its true and if someone charges you 7 lei/romanian money you just give them 10lei because its basically 2$ or something . Most of the drivers complain about politics and you gotta agree cause its right
@@prophetofwatersheep8100 of course tipping is for the delivery man, it's a dick move and mostly not tolerated for the restaurant (food house) to cash in the tips
It depends on the restaurant owner. In my restaurant, tips are split up between everybody. It’s a fairly good place too, it’s about $20 for everybody just based on tips. I’m a dishwasher and I still get tips. Meanwhile, in places like Amy’s Baking Company, all that tip money you think would go to the verbally abused server is going straight to the owners and no one else. Find the right owner, you’ll be making bank.
well i would be 100% behind that, but the waiters get paid dogshit, and cant do shit about it. its been normalized so now we are fucking forced to give our moneys. And i am going to tip people just so they can pay rent and shit. This nation is fucking it is in a downward spiral, minneapolis looks like a fallout map rn, and the entire nation is divided. We are fucked we have gone past the point of return
Haku infinite Dude im talking about the riots there, they fucked the place up. Also, the problem with what your saying is. if everyone stopped tipping it would work, but face, that isnt going to happen in some youtube comment section dude. If it was going to happen we would need a hugely organized even with millions of people
@Haku infinite the flaws in your logic: 1) a lot of restaurants would be forced to close their doors because the labor costs of adding 40 servers weekly salary to payroll probably wouldnt transition well for many companies. 2) the stores solution otherwise would likely be to fire a lot of servers, which would result in a severe decline of service quality. 3) servers being paid minimum wage without tips would cause an uproar, as hundreds of thousands of people would find their livelihoods suddenly gone. 4) even if servers were paid minimum wage, that's only 7.25 per hour, you would have to work 100 hours a week to afford rent, insurance, other bills, and that's as a single person. Imagine having a family, or a pet. You would see a loss of service staff which may also cause companies to close their doors as people search for other means to make a living. Because you know restaurants wouldnt be willing to pay more than minimum wage as it is. 5) menu costs would increase, and it is likely that in an effort to save cost, others things would slip through the cracks, like structural integrity, working conditions, or sanitation. Would you really want to eat in a restaurant that doesnt clean the way it used to? Lack of staff and being unable to afford the labor costs to keep the staff there to finish cleaning duties would quickly result in numerous infestations, something many restaurants already struggle with.
@Haku infinite to clarify: I wouldnt be opposed to servers making a livable wage, it's just that it would require many things to change, not just whether or not people tip waitstaff.
@Haku infinite In most places waiters actually get paid so we dont give random people our money when it is the employers responsibility to pay them,and tbh America is a shithole rn
Most places in the U.S. have a disclaimer on their menus, in fine print, "18% service charge will be added to your bill" and on top of that, servers still expect additional tip.This "business practice" is nothing more than a petty theft, restaurant owners take advantage to their benefit. I had a laugh with the video mate, good on you.
um its not common practice but you can't tell me you've never seen a tips jar at a cafe or something. And also saying "keep the change" is pretty much tipping, so i dunno what you're talking about lol
Mate just go Aussie, we don’t even do tips, it’s actually really rare If we can’t be bothered with the change we just pass em a note and say “keep the change” then leave and we’s good When I first heard of tipping I was sitting there like “wtf is a tip? Are you giving your waiter some sort of advice for being a good waiter?!”
Agree completely, I don’t tip in the US unless I got a bit above average or better. Besides DoorDash because delivering my tacobell at 3 in the morning is a hero without a cape situation!
One time an Uber Eats delivery guy was given the wrong meal and he literally went back, got it all fixed up for us and delivered the right meal. What a freaking legend and a life saver. I had reasonable cash then so I tipped him $50. Other than that I don't really tip, but hey I live in Australia where tipping's not really a thing
Blame it on the greed of business owners. They pay way below minimum wage assuming that the generosity of the customers will support you. In some cases you can make a ridiculously large amount of money for such an easy job. In other cases you could be working your ass off to barely get to minimum wage. But the owners don't care, they'll just keep hiring until they find people who are happy with it.
If restaurants took your suggestion, your meals would be much more expensive. They would have to pay wait staff the same hourly rate on busy days as slow days (which means YOU would end up paying), effectively paying them to stand around. In turn you would be charged more to eat there. It turns out better for everyone involved to just leave a measly 16-20% tip.
+SuperStupidPoop yeah . . . I have worked as a "tipped employee" before, and got to keep ALL of the tips put in my hand, I made a metric fuck tonne more than the waitresses at 15 an hour with tips. hell I was almost keeping up with the bartenders. the minimum wage is 5 something per hour or whatever for delivery drivers, but when you do 10 or so deliveries an hour, you average about 30-50 an hour TAX FREE! dont give me any of this greedy business owner bullshit, you're wrong.
In America restaurants typically only have a minimum wage of $2.13 an hour (1.58 pounds). There is absolutely no way that any waiter/waitress can live off of that.
@@SM-ce1uy I get that, but unless you are an owner of a restaurant, there’s nothing that can be done. If you don’t tip, nothing is going to change. You would need everyone in America to stop tipping for something to change. Even then, that “change” would just be restaurant items increasing in price, essentially forcing you to tip.
@@tominonamizake8102 Well then you would still pay the same amount, its just that you would be forced to because the tips would be factored into their wages. Also, this current system gives waitresses a reason to be nicer and more accommodating to customers since they’ll get paid more through tips. I honestly think it is a better system. And saying that people can just work somewhere else, then 95%+ of waitresses would just quit lol.
@@tominonamizake8102 Well that’s why I think it’s a better option, because you aren’t forced. If you have really bad service, you don’t have to tip. However, if most people stopped tipping, then it wouldn’t be a choice. That’s why I think having the option to tip makes it a better system, but I get what you’re saying
@@shieldmaiden3760 "You guys do realize in the United States servers are paid under the min wage?" They are not. The owner is required to pay them at least 8$ if they are not able to earn that much with tax declared tips. The IRS published numbers on how much waiters earn and the average is 18$ with tips, 14$ if serving in a backwards town. Turned out most people are able to both earn more $ and not declaring it to earn even more. The IRS propossed a tipping as extra system like in Europe because they estimate almost half a trillion of tax money is lost due to cash tipping.
Everyone, I didn’t mean to start an argument and you all have good arguments! But as Grade said, it’s not our fault to pay them, and it shouldn’t be mandatory but it’s a nice thing to do.
You people act like eating at these places is some kind of God given right. Take your crusty butts somewhere else and stop being babies. Don't see any of you doing your part to change the system.
@@dmkazich why did you say not true that's literally what I said, their salary is mostly tips so they don't get minimum wage. My mom works probably 55 hours a week and gets a couple hundred dollar paycheck
The tips go to the waiter or waitress in the end so companies can get away with paying them less than half of minimum wage by saying oh no they get tips
Eric York Yeah no, by the law the company must make up the difference if the tips do not make up the hourly minimum wage (meaning making at least 5.13 a hour in tips) . The problem is that many (NOT ALL) waiters and waitresses are so fucking entitled that they think that they are obligated to get more for working their damn job.
Zachary Tomes Sounds like their problem, not the customer’s. You let your boss push you around instead of standing up for yourself and demanding better then they are gonna keep treating them like that.
I see why tipping is pretty much... useless. Though, in my opinion (at least here in Germany that is, idk how it really works lmao), I leave tips at restaurants, if I’ve been there more than twice before and I really really really enjoyed the food. Good thing is that they don’t ask for it! I just loved eating food there, since it is quite rare for me to be able to go there. So therefore, I leave a tip there.
Waiters main source of income comes from tips and even including tips they still make a small amount of money around 20k a year. Some states, restaurant businesses dont have to abide by minimum wage. Also being a waiter seems easy, it is compared to being a doctor but it's still more complicated than getting an order, ordering it, and just serving it then clean up but due to how much you work, you have to deal with a fair amount of bullshit such as rude people, no tips, loud people. Then they also have to manage a lot not only in the dining area but also in the kitchen, asking if chefs can focus on a another dish of a long waiting customer, orders getting mixed up, etc. Being a waiter in America sucks quite a lot. So please dont degrade the job of a waiter cause it's hard ass work and a lot of shit to deal with. Sorry for the essay, I'm in school and bored.
@@loganpineda4648 ever paid the chef the free money for making that food? They work hours under that heat under high pressure yet people only tip the one who just carry your food.

I worked as a valet before and honestly I never asked for tips or even went above and beyond in my work. People still tipped me though even though I basically just acted like a robot throughout my whole shift.
Tipping is essentially mandatory here, because restaurants use tipping as an excuse to pay their employees less than minimum wage. It's actually kind of a travesty, if I'm honest.
@@kaliwatson3948 yeah but as grade said that's not really a tip as much as it convenience for you. You do it so you can leave faster and you don't care about the small amount
this is actually the employer's fault but it's been a scam since the depression so they do not have to pay their employees a fair wage. It's horse shit and needs to change.
I remember a couple of buddys and I went to this sushi place. The sushi wasn’t even that good, but it wasnt bad. Though, it was super expensive. When we got the bill there was an extra 65 dollar included tip. We were all college students with no money. Safe to say I’m never eating there again 😂
I would outright refuse to pay that. Automatic gratuity is a SCAM and the business owner should be in jail. You have no right to change the price of something after a person buys it, which is essentially what they did.
@@hellawicked6184 Yeah in England, they get checked for food hygiene more times in a month than many american places are in a year. If the standards drop as low as the McDonalds over there, they'd get a penalty or shut down for good. Plus, people get paid a livable wage, which is why we don't need to tip.
Tipping in the US started around the Great Depression when store owners wouldn’t pay their workers as much from the depression but didn’t pay them more after so they needed tips to survive on their salary and it became legal just for restaurants.
+CascadeWing : Wages are between the employer and the employee, and are not the responsibility of the customer. Also, what constitutes a wage worth working for is arbitrary. Those who want more than an employer is willing to pay (or can afford to pay) are free to work elsewhere, and can look into developing more valuable skills worth greater pay. I have nothing against voluntary tipping, but the pressure to tip and the expectation of tips is tacky and presumptuous. Certain restaurants here in Canada automatically add a tip to your bill. I find that reprehensible. Either charge more up front, or get your hand out of my pocket.
Most restaurants in the US (atleast the major food chains) add to the bill as well.And a argument used by the employer is that it's not fair to the other people at minimum wage since waiters can get hundreds of extra dollars a week from tips.While it's not the strongest case,I though I'd bring it up.
The issue is that the employers are under no legal obligation to pay their employees minimum wage, at least in the case of restaurants. If you'd like to come over here and attempt to negotiate an acceptable wage with the owner of a restaurant for a waiter/waitress position, I would *love* to hear the success story. Consider the position of someone actually in need of a job, who doesn't have the luxury of shopping around at every establishment in a 30-mile radius for the ideal place of employment. Restaurant's hiring. You need money. A pittance is better than nothing. Better take the job. Not saying it should be "our responsibility as consumers" to pay for it, but it really isn't, at least in America. You're free legally to not pay them a tip. If you can't handle the resulting glare or fleeting judgement, the fact of you being pathetic is your own problem. Edit: I should clarify that they *are* legally obligated to make up the difference, should the tipped salary not equal the minimum wage, but unfortunately this is incredibly easy to weasel out of, and many people are none the wiser.
You pretty summed it up. Every who wants to leave their shitty restaurant job cant or may not be to afford to leave cause those bills will start to pile up and if you tell your service provider (a.k.a. hydro, electricity, credit card etc.) you didnt like your job cause it was shitty and is now looking to "develop more valuable skills worth better pay" you can rest assured that you services will be infact *CUT OFF* and you might just end up getting a law suit sent your way for payment neglect
In america, restaurants are legally able to pay their servers below minimum wage because they get tips. Not saying this justifies tipping, the real problem is that restaurants should be legally obligated to minimum wage like any other business.
I believe a tip is just a way of showing the server that you appreciate their service, but, if their service is crap, then give them a crap tip. Example: $0 - $2 (as a range)
+ThisGuyAndy How much tip do you pay in the U.S.? Is there a rule of thumb? As mentioned in the video, most people here in europe (I'm from germany) round up to the next €uro, for example EUR 2.15 --> € 3.00. Or, if they are very generous they add €2 - €5 depending on the total sum paid. I worked as a pizza delivery boy a few years, so I got plenty of experience...
Well to be fair waiters get shit payment at the end of the day(I wasn't one myself yet) and I know this because I went to a restaurant and that's how payment is given as the waiters split tips at he end of the day with some even getting away with paying them like 2 or slightly more dollars an hour, hardly a living to make off of it right?
A relative of mine went to a restaurant and automatically applied gratuity to their bill. She complained and said she wouldn’t pay the gratuity and didn’t have to. Owner insisted she did. Relative called the police, she got a free meal and the restaurant got a heavy fine.
I live in NYC, almost every restaurant I go to around here automatically includes a 10-15% tip in their calculations and if you pay with a card you have to express straight out to the wait staff that you don’t want to tip (and how do you think that goes?)
tipping is indeed a scam, that's just restaurants paying their employees like $3/hr (half of minimum wage) and expect them to get it back from customers. it has even gotten to a point where some restaurants give suggestions for tipping starting at 15%. THEY TELL YOU WHERE YOU SHOULD START TIPPING. 15% was once considered great service, now it's the basic tip. places like Japan consider tipping offensive like they will literally run after you to give you back your money, because they consider the service as part of the food
I rarely tip people and when I don't tip they threaten to get me locked up in jail for theft and slander. and I just run away before they can. its not theft if you ask for 20$ I give you 20$, I get arrested for theft like WTF
Why do I have trouble imagining being threatened with legal action for theft and slander (what? slander?) over not tipping? Oh, because it doesn't happen, that's why.

I've argued with so many people in the US about tipping, it's bs. Almost every other country in the world doesn't make you tip. Hell, I took my wife out to eat the other day, and right when we were leaving the cashier picked up our bill and said "What, no tip?" that shook me at first because that's the first time I've been confronted about it. So I had my wife write down a dollar on the ticket or whatever. It's bullshit, a company should pay their employees, not me. You get paid to do your job, I shouldn't have to tip you for being nice, taking my order, and bringing me my food. That's your JOB, if you don't like it get another one. It's not like you tip at fast food, or anywhere else either. "Oh but the food cost will go up if-" then let it go up because I refuse to tip. I especially refuse to tip 20%. like really? I can literally go out to eat AGAIN if i pay another 20%, bs. Some of you might be reading this going 'oh he's just a cheap bastard" and that may be true to a certain extent, but my point still stands.
Then don't eat at a dine in. By not tipping you're not punishing the restaurant you're punishing the server. Plus they have to pay others such as bus boys 5% of their sales so they're actually paying to serve you your food.

the people you tip dont make your food. The cooks who are skilled workers, get paid less than the servers who get tips, and work longer hours.
Fourthaeon agreed. I worked in kitchen and didn’t see a single tip!
It depends on the restaurant owner. In my restaurant, tips are split up between everybody. It’s a fairly good place too, it’s about $20 for everybody just based on tips. I’m a dishwasher and I still get tips.
Meanwhile, in places like Amy’s Baking Company, all that tip money you think would go to the verbally abused server is going straight to the owners and no one else.
Find the right owner, you’ll be making bank.

Tips are for those who go out of their way for customers. They should be earned not expected
well i would be 100% behind that, but the waiters get paid dogshit, and cant do shit about it. its been normalized so now we are fucking forced to give our moneys. And i am going to tip people just so they can pay rent and shit. This nation is fucking it is in a downward spiral, minneapolis looks like a fallout map rn, and the entire nation is divided. We are fucked we have gone past the point of return
Haku infinite Dude im talking about the riots there, they fucked the place up. Also, the problem with what your saying is. if everyone stopped tipping it would work, but face, that isnt going to happen in some youtube comment section dude. If it was going to happen we would need a hugely organized even with millions of people
@Haku infinite the flaws in your logic: 1) a lot of restaurants would be forced to close their doors because the labor costs of adding 40 servers weekly salary to payroll probably wouldnt transition well for many companies. 2) the stores solution otherwise would likely be to fire a lot of servers, which would result in a severe decline of service quality. 3) servers being paid minimum wage without tips would cause an uproar, as hundreds of thousands of people would find their livelihoods suddenly gone. 4) even if servers were paid minimum wage, that's only 7.25 per hour, you would have to work 100 hours a week to afford rent, insurance, other bills, and that's as a single person. Imagine having a family, or a pet. You would see a loss of service staff which may also cause companies to close their doors as people search for other means to make a living. Because you know restaurants wouldnt be willing to pay more than minimum wage as it is.
5) menu costs would increase, and it is likely that in an effort to save cost, others things would slip through the cracks, like structural integrity, working conditions, or sanitation. Would you really want to eat in a restaurant that doesnt clean the way it used to? Lack of staff and being unable to afford the labor costs to keep the staff there to finish cleaning duties would quickly result in numerous infestations, something many restaurants already struggle with.
@Haku infinite to clarify: I wouldnt be opposed to servers making a livable wage, it's just that it would require many things to change, not just whether or not people tip waitstaff.
@Haku infinite In most places waiters actually get paid so we dont give random people our money when it is the employers responsibility to pay them,and tbh America is a shithole rn

Blame it on the greed of business owners. They pay way below minimum wage assuming that the generosity of the customers will support you. In some cases you can make a ridiculously large amount of money for such an easy job. In other cases you could be working your ass off to barely get to minimum wage. But the owners don't care, they'll just keep hiring until they find people who are happy with it.
exactly
+SuperStupidPoop then find a better job. why would you punish customers? judging people for not giving tip is a dick move
If restaurants took your suggestion, your meals would be much more expensive. They would have to pay wait staff the same hourly rate on busy days as slow days (which means YOU would end up paying), effectively paying them to stand around. In turn you would be charged more to eat there. It turns out better for everyone involved to just leave a measly 16-20% tip.
+SuperStupidPoop yeah . . . I have worked as a "tipped employee" before, and got to keep ALL of the tips put in my hand, I made a metric fuck tonne more than the waitresses at 15 an hour with tips. hell I was almost keeping up with the bartenders. the minimum wage is 5 something per hour or whatever for delivery drivers, but when you do 10 or so deliveries an hour, you average about 30-50 an hour TAX FREE! dont give me any of this greedy business owner bullshit, you're wrong.

"You guys do realize in the United States servers are paid under the min wage?"
They are not. The owner is required to pay them at least 8$ if they are not able to earn that much with tax declared tips. The IRS published numbers on how much waiters earn and the average is 18$ with tips, 14$ if serving in a backwards town. Turned out most people are able to both earn more $ and not declaring it to earn even more. The IRS propossed a tipping as extra system like in Europe because they estimate almost half a trillion of tax money is lost due to cash tipping.
Everyone, I didn’t mean to start an argument and you all have good arguments! But as Grade said, it’s not our fault to pay them, and it shouldn’t be mandatory but it’s a nice thing to do.

Eric York Yeah no, by the law the company must make up the difference if the tips do not make up the hourly minimum wage (meaning making at least 5.13 a hour in tips) .

Waiters/waitresses work hard
Do you give doctors tips when they do surgery?
Maybe but most likely NOT
Waiters main source of income comes from tips and even including tips they still make a small amount of money around 20k a year. Some states, restaurant businesses dont have to abide by minimum wage. Also being a waiter seems easy, it is compared to being a doctor but it's still more complicated than getting an order, ordering it, and just serving it then clean up but due to how much you work, you have to deal with a fair amount of bullshit such as rude people, no tips, loud people. Then they also have to manage a lot not only in the dining area but also in the kitchen, asking if chefs can focus on a another dish of a long waiting customer, orders getting mixed up, etc. Being a waiter in America sucks quite a lot. So please dont degrade the job of a waiter cause it's hard ass work and a lot of shit to deal with. Sorry for the essay, I'm in school and bored.

+Rockman .EXE we end up paying the same regardless so fuck off

From east europe all the way to japan tipping gets from "weird" to rude.

I remember a couple of buddys and I went to this sushi place. The sushi wasn’t even that good, but it wasnt bad. Though, it was super expensive. When we got the bill there was an extra 65 dollar included tip. We were all college students with no money. Safe to say I’m never eating there again 😂
I would outright refuse to pay that. Automatic gratuity is a SCAM and the business owner should be in jail. You have no right to change the price of something after a person buys it, which is essentially what they did.

That's why we eat at McDonald's, you aren't expected to tip
But they need the tips more than any other restaurant workers because they work hard in filthy conditions and don’t even get paid enough
@@WubbaDubba198 What do you mean the mcdonalds in my town are clean as hell and they get paid well.
@@hellawicked6184 Yeah in England, they get checked for food hygiene more times in a month than many american places are in a year. If the standards drop as low as the McDonalds over there, they'd get a penalty or shut down for good. Plus, people get paid a livable wage, which is why we don't need to tip.
You have solved the american obesity problem, actually pay the waiters

But we should tip if we think they deserve more and thats 0.0001% of the time so yeah

I legit laughed out loud at this. I agree with Parker Whaley. underrated comment.

Tipping in the US started around the Great Depression when store owners wouldn’t pay their workers as much from the depression but didn’t pay them more after so they needed tips to survive on their salary and it became legal just for restaurants.
A tip is supposed to be a gift. A gift is given voluntarily. Expecting gifts is presumptuous and tacky. "Manditory tipping" is more like a tax.
It's due to the fact waiters in the US are barely paid at all,and rely completely on tips.
+CascadeWing : Wages are between the employer and the employee, and are not the responsibility of the customer. Also, what constitutes a wage worth working for is arbitrary. Those who want more than an employer is willing to pay (or can afford to pay) are free to work elsewhere, and can look into developing more valuable skills worth greater pay. I have nothing against voluntary tipping, but the pressure to tip and the expectation of tips is tacky and presumptuous. Certain restaurants here in Canada automatically add a tip to your bill. I find that reprehensible. Either charge more up front, or get your hand out of my pocket.
Most restaurants in the US (atleast the major food chains) add to the bill as well.And a argument used by the employer is that it's not fair to the other people at minimum wage since waiters can get hundreds of extra dollars a week from tips.While it's not the strongest case,I though I'd bring it up.
The issue is that the employers are under no legal obligation to pay their employees minimum wage, at least in the case of restaurants. If you'd like to come over here and attempt to negotiate an acceptable wage with the owner of a restaurant for a waiter/waitress position, I would *love* to hear the success story. Consider the position of someone actually in need of a job, who doesn't have the luxury of shopping around at every establishment in a 30-mile radius for the ideal place of employment. Restaurant's hiring. You need money. A pittance is better than nothing. Better take the job.
Not saying it should be "our responsibility as consumers" to pay for it, but it really isn't, at least in America. You're free legally to not pay them a tip. If you can't handle the resulting glare or fleeting judgement, the fact of you being pathetic is your own problem.
Edit: I should clarify that they *are* legally obligated to make up the difference, should the tipped salary not equal the minimum wage, but unfortunately this is incredibly easy to weasel out of, and many people are none the wiser.
You pretty summed it up. Every who wants to leave their shitty restaurant job cant or may not be to afford to leave cause those bills will start to pile up and if you tell your service provider (a.k.a. hydro, electricity, credit card etc.) you didnt like your job cause it was shitty and is now looking to "develop more valuable skills worth better pay" you can rest assured that you services will be infact *CUT OFF* and you might just end up getting a law suit sent your way for payment neglect
In america, restaurants are legally able to pay their servers below minimum wage because they get tips. Not saying this justifies tipping, the real problem is that restaurants should be legally obligated to minimum wage like any other business.
This.
+jcrowley1985 Actually, the employers cover the payment from ex: $2/hr to $7.50/hr if there are no tips.
+jcrowley1985 in canada (well where I live) its the same for bartender
they are if servers dont nake minimum wage the restaurant has to pay the difference
This is why you tip
I'm American and I can confirm everything he says
Yes
I believe a tip is just a way of showing the server that you appreciate their service, but, if their service is crap, then give them a crap tip. Example: $0 - $2 (as a range)
(maybe also tip that one cashier)
Ikr
+ThisGuyAndy How much tip do you pay in the U.S.? Is there a rule of thumb? As mentioned in the video, most people here in europe (I'm from germany) round up to the next €uro, for example EUR 2.15 --> € 3.00. Or, if they are very generous they add €2 - €5 depending on the total sum paid. I worked as a pizza delivery boy a few years, so I got plenty of experience...

Well to be fair waiters get shit payment at the end of the day(I wasn't one myself yet) and I know this because I went to a restaurant and that's how payment is given as the waiters split tips at he end of the day with some even getting away with paying them like 2 or slightly more dollars an hour, hardly a living to make off of it right?
I can't imagine grade as a teacher, just the kids entering class and him shouting "alright you w*nkers sit down and get your books out!"

+Jet s Socialism at it's finest.
I go to a Chinese restaurant and they charge 15%-25% for tip
It is *_Compulsary_*
The workers are probably being treated like shit or they are one of those restaurant that takes their workers' tips
A relative of mine went to a restaurant and automatically applied gratuity to their bill. She complained and said she wouldn’t pay the gratuity and didn’t have to. Owner insisted she did. Relative called the police, she got a free meal and the restaurant got a heavy fine.
Ahahahahahaha, the restaurant just went from a 5/5 hygiene rating to a 1/5
Me too
I live in NYC, almost every restaurant I go to around here automatically includes a 10-15% tip in their calculations and if you pay with a card you have to express straight out to the wait staff that you don’t want to tip (and how do you think that goes?)

+- ̗̀ℬℛ𝓐𝓝𝓓𝓞𝓝 ̖́- ◢◤ you are disgusting dude
tipping is indeed a scam, that's just restaurants paying their employees like $3/hr (half of minimum wage) and expect them to get it back from customers. it has even gotten to a point where some restaurants give suggestions for tipping starting at 15%. THEY TELL YOU WHERE YOU SHOULD START TIPPING. 15% was once considered great service, now it's the basic tip. places like Japan consider tipping offensive like they will literally run after you to give you back your money, because they consider the service as part of the food
I rarely tip people and when I don't tip they threaten to get me locked up in jail for theft and slander. and I just run away before they can. its not theft if you ask for 20$ I give you 20$, I get arrested for theft like WTF
consider the what
Why do I have trouble imagining being threatened with legal action for theft and slander (what? slander?) over not tipping? Oh, because it doesn't happen, that's why.
Japan knows where it's at.
Paying less than minimum wage is illegal

I work at a restaurant. I'd like to explain some things. A waitress makes none of the money from your bill. They get minimum wage or less+ tips. Tips are a source of income for waitresses. I understand why you'd think that you'd be giving more money but it's literally sometimes all they make a night.
Also, I'd like to point out that I couldn't care less if you don't tip, I do not have time to spit in your food.

+Kristen Lillemoen why are waiters/waitresses expected to be tipped for their good service, when 99% of other jobs aren't? the problem here lies with the employer trying to pay them less.
+Roger Valencia fuck leafy
+Wizards Only cheap mo fo? You'd prefer restaurants to charge more for food then?
In Germany tipping is completely optional. At my workplace all the tips that are collected for the day get split between the employees
