since when is 30% the going rate for tipping anyway? Is this dipshit tryna get a pay raise for all the plate pushers and drunk servers?

Fuck you, lady. Get a real job and let the teenagers deliver pizzas.

Like in the old days.

@sapphire @Evil_Bender @UnCL3 I don’t think it actually is. It’s just a numbers game. More revenue on machine is more perceived value for merchants. Fact is people who use cards spend more, and it’s mostly behavioral finance related. When merchants run their accounting and see they paid 3.1% gross revenue in fees, merchant service providers can talk about the total revenue YOY growth or whatever. Shell game to encourage use for more coin clipping.
@sapphire @Evil_Bender @UnCL3 I don’t mind if restaurants put e.g. 10, 15, 18, 22% on the bottom of the receipt. It’s unfortunate but as you said— reasons. I do tip small when service is bad to let them know I consciously chose to give less for them giving less. If the server is cool and its restaurant or kitchen issues, I usually give a good or great tip depending on what they deserve and did.

@cjd American tipping culture will not go away especially in under the contractor era we have today, unfortunately.

I have to say, I'm EXTRA generous to my dispensary guy when I tip him. He's essentially a one man shop, with SUPER decent prices. He's the guy that beats up on the other 2 dispensaries on the same street with pricing and a humble shop. The other ones are done up hippy style and expensive. Gotta keep the Budtender happy...just like in a bar.

I hear you...especially since other than the local expensive little convenience store/restaurant i'm 10 minutes from, I'm 40 minutes from the next "sit-down" restaurant. Where I tip 15% every time because the food is good and so is the service.

Right, @fknretardlol ? Talking about El Rancho.
oh yeah...we are talking about a real server.

Someone who brings your to go order, that you ordered at the register from someone else, to your table after you've waited for however long? Sorry, that's not a "server".
