OK, but explain to us why it should be a sliding scale based on how well I decide to eat?


Because when you are at a restaurant that is $100 a head you have multiple waiters. You basically have a head waiter and an assistant waiter. They split the tips along with the bar tenders.

You also get a much better quality waiter that memorizes all of the specials and takes pride in their job/profession and ensuring you have a pleasant experience.

Instead of the nasty arse hipster, with multiple nose and face piercings that is covered in tattoos that typically brings and screws up the burger order. Talking to you Elsies!

or the employer takes it as if they aren't paying a fair wage.

Which they aren’t so why not just raise the price? So tired of tipping for mediocre shite counter service.

Good. Tipping when just drinking should be minimal anyway.


Depends. When you're charging $20 for a mixed drink, I'm definitely not tipping 20% on that. $6-$7 drinks? Sure I'll go 20% on that.

Shite restaurants are charging $100 a head left and right and they expect you to pay gratuity no matter the food or service quality. This is the issue, gratuity is no longer tied to quality, it's expected. If you think paying $100 per head excludes you from this scam then you're a sucker.

Service fee in France as part of the bill, or at least used to be.
