Tipping is such a fucked up expectation. Also lol at gig apps trying to take it overseas
Amen, tips weren’t a thing in my country until recently. When I heard what tipping was I was confused, I thought “Aren’t the owners embarrassed, begging customers to pay their workers for them?”
I feel like we’re in the same country.
Im ok with like a courtesy tip jar at the counter, but when it becomes a substitute for actual wages they can all get fucked
how the fuck are young people supposed to afford tips when none of them have any fucking money of their own
You joke, but that’s how it is in a lot of places. The ones working at the fancy tourist places are the main source of income for the ones working at the bars open after the tourist places close. A sort of adhoc welfare system of poor people sharing money with other poor people. A sharing of the tablescraps of trickle down tipping.
I have to imagine something like filthy rich boomers who randomly drops hundreds on tips skewing this. This has not been my experience like at all
on top of that, it may be possible that younger generations just legit have less credit lines, skewing the whole thing because older generations have multiple credit cards while many young people just use their debit, secure card or cash to tip. I certainly always tip in cash when i can which is the vast majority of time, especially for delivery or small mom and pop places i never use any card cause those fees for merchants are bullshit and cash is king.
shit like this always needs to be taken with a grain of salt, there are more factors at play than just young people ain’t tipping cause that’s some bullshit
It was self reported and didn’t say anything about amount of the tip, just if they always tip. Some great tippers don’t always tip. Usually because they’re service people and if they have a bad day they don’t have the cash for it. Meanwhile, the person who always tips $5 even on a $170 meal is still represented as a “better tipper”.
If the young people are generous tippers these ghouls will say how irresponsible they are with their money.
Best tippers here are other service workers. The multi millionaires usually do exactly 20% even on a $10 tab. Which is fine, but the service people always leave a minimum of $5 and usually way more. Especially if they know they’re making life harder for you because of getting there late or drinking heavily. Not uncommon for bartenders out here to make most of their money an hour befor the bars close from service workers just getting off and coming in to do like 5 shots and a beer before they go home.
