You're part of the problem.
Tipping is a shit practice to being with but if there was one person that deserved it that would be the COOK if the food is good. Not the person walking the food around.
I would rather get tips than a wage. No tax on the tips. I turned it into a game. Every day I had a challenge to make X amount. I cleaned up and I was only in my teens.
Tips are the first performance based incentives most people get. So many get a normie job. Clock in. Clock out. Don't challenge themselves. Expect regular raises even when their performance remains steady.
Tipping has gotten way out of hand. But I like tipping circa pre-2010.
Been to Europe where tipping isn't a thing? Horrible fucking service.
i did not find service to be horrible with some odd exceptions. they take longer to serve and that gets annoying, but that is a recent thing everywhere because they now take tips for granted. before, tips were not such a big deal and they would put in some effort for it.
tipping is no longer a reward for excellent service, it's a reward for not being a lazy pos and not taking 20 minutes to take or bring an order. that should be expected practice, not one rewarded through tips.
overall i don't see why standard practice should be rewarded or why anyone is allowed to be doing sub par work. or why i need exceptional service to begin with. i just want my order taken and food served. and casually walk around and look for signs if i need something. I would not mind a beeper or an app to call the waiter so that they don't have to pay attention all the time
the only reason i ever remember a restaurant is if the food was delicious. not because a person was fake nice to me.
What the hell?
Because you're paying to be there.
If I don't want service I'll stay home and cook for myself.
"Fake nice" as in, professional?
no, fake nice is just that, acting friendly when i know they are not my friend and they are not happy to see me at all. they just work there.
professional does not mean nice. it means being normal and decent.
