If restaurants paid decent wages, ya'll would complain about food prices just like you do Chipotle and McDonald's.

I say fire all servers and let people pick up their own food and drink when it's ready. Miscers want to be cheap, then let them get their own food.

This was a 0 star Michelin restaurant?

They always put on a “service charge” directly on the bill which is, apparently, not a tip lol.

Servants gonna servant.

I mean, I could get it if this was like an Applebee's or something, but you yourself acknowledge that she was very knowledgeable and did a great job serving you. Seems petty to still screw her over on the tip.

You can obviously afford it since you're dining at a Michelin star restaurant.

Should’ve used your platinum Misc card. Then she would’ve been over joyed for the 12%.

Tipping expectations in the US are insane. Whenever they stand there with that device and try pressure me into tipping more, I tip less.

The funniest thing is the iPads for counter service that start at 18%.

I've only ever tipped servers in my life. Anyone else can go fk themselves

And it's always cash so they don't have to give any of it to some other fgt
