Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.

US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

    In the US, tip servers, they make about $3/hr. Now that you know, you’re the asshole if you don’t tip.

      This is untrue. If they earn less than minimum after tips the business has to make it up. The first $5 an hour essentially go in the pocket of the owner.

          Never said anything about whether I tip. Just that there is no such thing as earning below minimum wage legally. The same argument about minimum wage stands for any employee like a cashier, burger flipper etc.

          You should probably go see someone about your anger issues.

      I will in the US as per your country’s unfortunate custom. But at home? Fuck no.

      Won’t change the system through conformity.

      I avoid places that enforce tips, but if there’s no alternative, I’m not giving away free money.
