D.T. Survivor Walk-on

I hate how every receipt asks for a tip now

~20% for sit down restaurant
0% for a take-away pizza joint
~40% for haircut (she's in my ward, does a good job, and charges much lower than the market rate)
0% for housekeepers
~10% tip at fast casual restaurants when my kids are with us and they make a mess

I just say no tip and don't worry.

YSMACK

I'm a strong tipping advocate but press "no tip" and don't think twice about it.

Do you know that only about 15% tip for Uber? Tipping is less if you don’t

SouthernBlueBlood

15% at restaurants? That was more than a decade ago.

Based on that principle, I will give to a charity where they need the money more

Baron

A lot of times tips just go into a general pool these days and split evenly

Schultz is back

11/8/19 9:41am

When i know that it's a pooling system, i still tip, but with less enthusiasm.

They could be making more than you with a lot of overtipping going on

I feel this way too. It’s a form of wealth distribution.
