I don’t usually tip, and it’s not a custom around here.
What about you?

In USA, yes, I do. I feel compelled.
In Europe, it’s not custom, I guess.

If you don’t mind to share, how much is custom to tip?
Tbh I would feel weird consuming outside knowing that I need to tip. It seems to me that paying for the food and the service, for example, should be included in the bill.

I used to tip religiously because I worked as a waiter, bartender, and barista in my 20s but I have stopped tipping my Lyft and Uber drivers cuz I just don’t have the money

15 is minimum here. 20 percent is good service or generous. I don’t go to restaurants though because I’m poor and think fast food is cheaper. I have problems cooking. Maybe cognitive issues.

Is there a reason to even tip? Like minimum salary or taxes or something?
“they say double the tax, and round up” that would be 15 % and it’s easy to calculate lol.

No? I’m not even a true believer in tipping, but I guess it’s different here than in Europe.
I feel like I have to. It’s part of my paranoid delusion.

Tipping is a social issue now and is expected, but it’s also a real economic issue. I was super cheap growing up like my dad. I really don’t believe in tipping, but do it anyways now. I used to be extremely cheap to a point of contention.
I felt like every penny mattered lol.

But why is neccesary, tho? Is there a structural problem?
I repeat, I come for a place where tipping is not the norm and it’s not expected.
Google might help, but they get paid less than minimum wage and tips make it good/better. It’s way different than in Europe.
It’s also an economic thing. It’s inefficient for customers, benefits owners, and waiters.

No, I have stopped. I have almost entirely quit eating out as well. I feel it is on the employer to pay employees properly rather than guilting customers into making up the difference. I also think there are more restaurants out there than the market can bear and it’s not that big of a deal if there is a correction.

I don’t know. My info might be wrong (old). In modern california, I guess, they follow the regulations and rules. My mom was a waitress in Washingston state. Most of her money came from Tips. Tips can make or break a person and help.
The owner pays less, the customer gets better service, and the waitress benefits, I guess…that’s the plan/goal.

Service shouldn’t be dependent on a tip. I don’t get tips at my job, I am simply expected to provide everyone the best service I can.

I get it 100%. Is the habit of tipping the same in Canada as it’s in the USA?
I always tip. Even when I get carryout (not as much as I would if I ate in)
It’s just the way it is in the States. I made minimum wage as a pizza delivery driver, but relied on tips. Same goes for waiters/waitresses, I believe. I think servers make minimum wage now (not 100% on that). Anyways, it’s just polite to tip someone who waits on you. Doubly so if they bring the food to your front door, so your homely-ass doesn’t have to get out of their PJs to go get food
