The mental gymnastics that people will go through in order to justify not paying someone because it's discretionary is astonishing. They know what is customary, they know how it all works, yet they still go to restaurants and screw over the person serving them because of some beef with the "system". Jesus.

To be completely honest, I always thought 20% was the baseline.

Not difficult work, but it’s not exactly easy, especially the more expensive the place gets.
A place like chili’s? Just running the same shitty food back and forth, grabbing ketchup for some rednecks well done steak, etc. It’s more just physical work.
Upper echelon steak houses and the like will require in depth menu and ingredient knowledge, Wine and spirits knowledge if not a somm 1 certification, etc.
Is it brain surgery? No. It is still a shite ton of work, especially during peak hours? Yes.

This is widely known and an absolute fact. Even my black friends admit it.
Major media outlets cannot say this in an article because there will be riots in the streets.
I always heard that but when I waited tables in New Orleans I was never under-tipped by a black table. Granted I only waited on a handful. The restaurant I worked at was sort of high end.

Not only for that reason, but I have never known a server to pay taxes on cash tips.

I tip 20 percent unless there is just a huge problem. I thought most did. This thread proves me wrong.

Nobody has moved the "goalppast" or baseline. The standard is 15 to 20 percent.
It's been that way for 30 years.
I'm not confused dumbass. You said "who moved the line" and my answer is "nobody did". "The standard is 15 to 20 percent". That's my answer. Why is it so hard for you to get that? You keep saying I'm the confused one, yet you are having a hard time grasping my very simple answer.

Ironic.
But if you’re broke and can’t afford to tip, you shouldn’t go out. If you can only afford 80% of what the total cost is going to be, you should stay home.

If the standard was 15-20 as you are saying, and now the standard is 20 as the article is saying, how is that not moving the goalpost?
Do you not understand the difference of baseline 15 and baseline 20?

Wow $12 whole dollars for waiting on 6 of you assholes.
For a quick office lunch that takes 45 minutes. If they have 2 other tables during that time that tips the same, plus the $2.15 from the restaurant, that's almost $40 an hour. Better than I made while I was working through college at a retail store.

20% minimum from me unless the service was atrocious, then it’s 15. I can count on half a hand how many times I’ve done that. Well maybe 3/5 of a hand.
If you can’t afford to do that, then you can’t afford to eat out or receive whatever service it is

That’s just for 1-2 hours for the lunch rush. If they made $40 an hour for the full 8 hour shift, everyone would want to work there.

The article states
"Nearly two-thirds of Millennials typically tip below the standard 20 percent suggestion"
Meaning if you're tipping 15-20 (under 20), it's "frowned upon."
As you said 15-20 used to be the norm, this states otherwise.
Do you understand now?

fricking shithole restaurants don't pay their staff and then "suggest" you do it for them. The whole tipping society we have become is fricking stupid. We should do like Europe and just include a decent wage for wait staff.

Its,because the fricking boomers refuse to retire....
