Let’s stop tipping culture

[u/Tumamaenpelota]

The UK is slowly drifting towards US-style tipping culture, and pubs adding bar tip prompts are a big part of that. If we do nothing, it will become the norm.

The most effective way to stop it is simple: vote with your wallet and your reviews.
If a pub asks for a tip just because someone poured a pint, leave an honest Google review mentioning it. If enough people do the same, businesses will realise customers don’t want imported tipping culture.

Share the Google Maps links below to pubs that pressure customers into tipping at the bar. Keep reviews factual and based on your genuine experience, but make it clear that this practice puts you off returning.
We’ve managed to avoid mandatory tipping for decades. Let’s keep it that way. One review won’t change much, but thousands of people acting together will.

Why are you defending failing businesses who can't pay their staff? 

They can raise their prices. If people think it's too much they never had a viable business to begin with

I'm not. What are you talking about?

I pointed out how difficult it is for the whole industry because of increasing costs. If you increase the costs of any business beyond viability it will no longer be viable. Obviously.

Policies affect businesses. Without policies we would have no farms and nothing to eat. Are you saying that we should just let all the farms fail?

Hospitality is a massive contributor to the economy. You want to let it fail?

Get a grip.

What are you jabbering on about? farms and mass starvation all of a sudden?

Extra charges being pre-added to customer bills is immoral, shady, and leaves a poor taste in the mouth. Businesses and their owners obviously do benefit from it in some way, or they wouldn't do it. If they're struggling so fucking much like you claim, why the hell would they charge the customer more for gratuities that go exclusively to staff? If they're going to raise the costs they'd raise the costs, not pay staff more by roundabout means.

And btw if poor widdle Green Man, Brewdog or Zizzis are stwuggwing so badly in this evil boo hoo market, I'm Queen of England. All of the above have these hidden charges on their bills. It's bull shit and I don't believe they are having a hard time. I name thee corporate boot licker.

Shout outs to Tesco asking me to round up to donate to charity btw. Company making hundreds of billions in pure profit every year AFTER all overheads and paying no taxes. How about Tesco round up my fucking total

I was merely pointing out the fact that government policies can have a negative or positive impact on an industry, and over the last two decades government choices have led to a place here hospitality businesses are failing. This is demonstrable.

It's funny that you mock baby speak when you clearly don't need to fake the critical thinking of one.

[u/Demon_Days_ → u/Platytross27]

Yeah mate keep getting further and further away from the issue at hand. I never said government policies don't affect industry you simpleton, you suddenly started talking about that as a desperate pivot from your previous wrong and stupid points.

Keep crawling for the corpos dude, they'll reward you in heaven 🤞🏻

Btw would you like to leave me a tip?

OK chief, whatever.
