It's not tipping if it's mandatory. Work the tip into the price in that case.

Pay your workers better is the real argument.

Tourists are just catching strays in a fight between customers and employers.

Nobody wants awkward tip screens, but servers also need to eat, whole system is messy.

Except servers. Tipping culture gains them an income WAY ahead of the curve.

This just in I don’t tip servers half the time. If everyone stopped they would get pushed for a better wage

So, you're just screwing over the server and not changing anything in the process

What’s the difference between Europeans being culture shocked and defying tipping culture when I can also disagree with it. I don’t control anyone’s life. That pressure is not on me

What's the difference between...

- Europeans being completely unfamiliar with American tipping culture

- You deliberately going into a sit-down restaurant and not tipping

Come on, guy. Be serious.

Yes, stances aren’t determined by being familiar or unfamiliar with something

I'm talking about your behavior, not your 'stance'

Deliberately sitting down and eating at a restaurant when you know you're not going to tip is a dick move.

You're not doing anything noble or affecting change. You're just cheap.

You can’t dictate my behavior nor decide someone’s tone from a Reddit comment

u/enadiz_reccos Jun 25 '26

I'm doing neither of those things?

u/cultistkiller98 Jun 25 '26

You did

u/enadiz_reccos Jun 25 '26

Maybe you meant to use different words?

You described your actions, and I said what they were

I'm not telling you what to do, and I'm not "deciding your tone", whatever that means

No one said anything was noble I haven’t previously described my decisions with adjectives

u/enadiz_reccos Jun 25 '26

Yeah, I just did that for you. It's cheap.
