I tip, but think the practice is kind of dumb.
Just pay the servers more and be done with it. It doesn't make sense why some professions get tips, and others do not.

Why pay more when the restaurant can be cheap and rely on customers to supplement a server's pay

I'm pretty sure servers only get minimum wage other than the tips. They deserve to get paid more than that don't you think? I'm sure you wouldn't want to live off minimum wage.
My girl is a server and like most servers she only makes a couple buks an hour.
All their money is made on tips.

Seems like most of the people that defend tipping are the ones who get tips. I still tip even though I cannot stand it. I do it out of fear of them remembering me and spitting in my food though, not out of good service.

Its the people that you deal with. Not the actual work involved. Maybe the people here are just terrible.

I delivered pizzas for about three years. A slow night was $10-11 per hour and a good night was $25-30 per hour. That was 10 years ago too. It was the best job I ever had. Drive around get high and listen to good tunes. Also much better than serving because you only see the customer for about 30 seconds.

Well... If you don't like the people, the service industry isn't really for you.
People work retail for peanuts, have to deal with rich assholes who go to malls (many other kinds of assholes too), and they don't get tipped at all.

So tip your sales associate at Macy's the next time you go there!

Most jobs require you to deal with people. A serving position is one of the best jobs you can grab. One you can support yourself on if you do not have a degree or whatever. If you cant throw someone a few bucks when they serve your food for you that is outrageous to me. You seriously see the worst of the worst in that industry as far as the general public is concerned.

Mandatory tipping in the food & beverage industry is a silly modern social construct.
There are people who work service everywhere, yet they don't expect tips.
Waiters/bartenders are spoiled and self-entitled.
Waiting or bar tending is an easy job. There are plenty of service jobs that are harder that get no tips.
Back in the day you would tip ANYONE who gave you above average service in hopes of good service in the future.
Now we have snot-nosed brat waiters who look DOWN on you if you don't for no reason other than an overinflated sense of self-entitlement.
Face it waiters; you took the job because you knew it was way more slack when tips are included compared to other service jobs of that pay grade.

I don't know how I even found this thread and got reeled into it. Let me say I was a pizza delivery driver for years and have known multiple waiters. ALL of these jobs are beyond overpaid.I was making at least $20/hr take home. Servers and drivers are loophole jobs, without a doubt. Ask yourself this, if we one day just stopped tipping and had the owners adjust the wages for drives/servers, would they be making $15-$25 after taxes? HELL NO!!! Try slightly above min. wage. Get real people. I never ever got upset at someone not tipping me when I was a driver, because I knew it would even out and realized I was way overpaid. That being said, I still tip, but I don't think it has to be 15 or 20%, try 5 or 10%-plenty.
-------------------- Sir, all of my posts are purely hypothetical,a mindless fantasy of what could have been....
