Why should I tip waiters if they don't do any work?

The Waiter doesn't grow the food
The Waiter doesn't ship the food
The Waiter doesn't inspect the food
The Waiter doesn't make the recipe
The Waiter doesn't cook the food

But the Waiter expects 25% of the value of the food because they walked a couple feet.

Wat gives.

It's the service they have to give you and they're forced to talk to you with a smile on their face which is so awful that they need compensation for.
That's what I think.

Take away your orders and eat them at home or in the car.

Increase the minimum wage, or something.

To avoid them secretly spitting in your food if they serve you something again next time.

@LoveYourSmile No, the beer would ruin the taste of her saliva, I would want her to spit at me directly.

During my time back in the US for the last six months I never tipped anyone.

After living in Australia for nearly a decade I just don't see it morally right for customers to be given the burden of paying employees just because their countries government is screwed with low minimum wages and establishments/business owners think it's a good idea to give hospitality staff $8-10/hr because they'll get "tips".

I grew up in the US from age 0-9, and then came back from age 10-18 and then finally came back at age 24 and stayed for half a year travelling around the country visiting over a dozen different states and I can say with complete confidence I despise the US.

It's a disgusting mess and the people that live and remain trapped in the US are basically all developing stockholm syndrome because they're either too ignorant of how bad the US actually is or they are just too afraid of confronting the reality of it and prefer to cope and act as if the US is the best country in the world [which it isn't, by a very very large margin].

They take the order and serve the food and refill your drinks and clean the tables up after. Tips in many places get divided between everyone instead of going to the person it is given to.

@Zarutaku but if you don't tip her she might pour some beer into the spit so you would have to do it anyway

As a person who used to be a waiter at a Chinese buffet to help her friend with a conflicting schedule, I know from my heart that waiters are as important as the cooks in a restaurant. You know it's obvious that waiters are also the bulk of the customer service managers.

Mr Pink doesn't tip and I agree with him 100%.

I worked as a waiter when I was 18-19, what the core of the work is not to feed you, is to serve you: keep the table clean, see that the order is in the right time and exactly as you wanted, offer new stuff and, overall, have the best experience you can (solve issues like dirty glasses, etc). Thats why they tip them, to (kind of) recognize that the waiter went beyond just taking the order and serving the plates. And before anyone asks: in most (if not all) of the restaurants the tip is shared with the cookers.

Now, if the guy/gal didnt do shit, then it is ok to not leave any tip

it's a service job like any other food place. They should just get paid a normal wage like every other worker. Why do we have to pay their salary when no other business does this? Stupid.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

@Kikugi Hold on, if I tip a waitress I'm allowed to request a raw spit service? My whole restaurant life has been a lie.

@Zarutaku no I thought it was a regular item on the menu, hardly ever been in a restaraunt and don't know that much

Tipping is an absolutely evil custom, that's designed to make people pay more.

@LoveYourSmile Yet another example of bureaucracy hindering quality improvements, though if she smokes I would never call on that service anyway.

If you tip waiters nothing at all, they'll assume that you're cheap or broke. If you want waiters to know how you truly feel about tipping, you should tip them a single penny.
