That’s the farthest thing from the point of our tipping article. We’re not trying to shit all over people who just want to have a nice time every once in a while. If you do not, you’re helping to perpetuate a system that victimizes labor. So if you’re going to frequent a restaurant where the servers are not paid a living wage, then you should expect to calculate a 20% tip into your bill. Like, half the point of the article was that servers should make a living wage even without tips. And I’m sure they would appreciate being able to afford to treat themselves-or hell, pay their rent-every now and again too. Would you be happy working for an hour to take home $2.13? Because that’s how much a server gets paid without tips.
So if you do not tip your waitstaff, they basically do not get paid. In the United States, servers are paid below minimum wage with the expectation that they will make up the wages in tips. Response? Send me a smaller paycheck that month.” I have bad days-days where I am grouchy,ĭisorganized, and distracted. “We Bitches will encourage you to be cheap at every turn, but it has to be at your own expense, not your server’s.” We believe very firmly that those who can’t “afford the absolute best but want to treat themselves for once” should absolutely find a way to treat themselves… preferably in a way that does not victimize other people.
We’ve written extensively in the past about not judging the poor for their simple luxuries. If You Can’t Afford to Tip 20%, You Can’t Afford to Dine Out Especially as you say you’ve worked in the food industry. The fact that you write such an opinionated question after not carefully reading the article is surprising.
