I agree @op that's why I only frequent my local Chinese place nowadays. I give out a random tip with no reason. Sometimes I give 30%, sometimes 15%, sometimes nothing. There is no reason for it, it's totally random. I can see the Chinese lady who always takes my order trying to figure it out. They give me extra cookies, they act nicer, they give me faster service. But my tips are sometimes 0% and other times 30%. I have no real reason for doing this except that I don't think they paid any attention to me as a regular customer until I started doing this. Now the lady behind the counter pays extra close attention to every interaction we have. I know she's trying to figure out what the madness behind my tips is. But there isn't any. I just like to see what they'll try next to get consistent tips. I think they'd be happier with a regular who tipped only 5% every time. That would make more sense to them. B.F. Skinner said that the best reward schedule for training the behavior of a rat is a random schedule. So that's what I stick to. The rat rewarded randomly will work harder than a rat given a regular reward. I can tell the Chinese lady pays more attention to me than to any other customer. She spots me the instant I walk in the door and always pays very close attention to my orders. She'll let me skip in line now and have my order ready before other people who have been waiting. Then I tip 0%. She has no idea why. I can tell it's driving her mad but I really want to know how far I can push this before she snaps.

Why when the system works great if ppl would just actually follow proper dinning etiquette for Western culture

the problem is most people don’t even know what that is these days but have the nerve to ask for top tier service

So you mean to say that as long as ppl tip, you get a decent wage considerably better than that of minimum wage, but as soon as someone doesn’t tip 20% you’re suddenly this poor bugger who can’t pay his bills because ‘servers don’t get even get minimum wage’?

Sounds like you only want to deal with the benefits of getting tips as a waiter and not the occasional drawbacks, it’s essentially a performance based bonus. If you cared that much about a steady minimum wage salary you can easily get a job at a warehouse or in the kitchen of a fastfood restaurant, but you know those jobs are not nearly as good paying or as comfortable as being a waiter. So either advocate for a good minimum wage or suck it up if someone doesn’t want to tip you.

Also this is not western etiquette, in Europe tipping is basically just rounding up a few euros so you get a nice round number or if the service was really good maybe a tip up to 10% and only in cafes or restaurants. Only in the US and Canada does this tipping obsession exist.

That's the nastiest part about it all and is part of the reason why I give at least 25%. I know that s*** is getting split in all kinds of nasty ways.

Why would you be dining in at a restaurant if you’re so broke you have to nickel and dime the tip. S*** is dire circumstances bro you really shouldn’t be dining in at a restaurant to begin with. If all I had was $40 until next check I was never going to a restaurant to eat with the rest of the money you eat the cheapest s*** available and hold on to the rest. I mean s*** atleast do pickup and save a couple bucks. Smh you’re ignoring basic broke 101 protocol

I don't get why waiters that be hella entitled about this. Why not the people working in the kitchen bc they the one actually making the food that I eat? Kitchen work is hell too.
