World Cup Time in NYC
Why should you be tipped?
Don't eat out if you don't tip" is one of the dumbest arguments people keep repeating.
Please stop denigrating people for not doing something optional. Tipping is optional. Period. It is not “stiffing” anyone. It is not required. Be grateful if you get it and accept it if you don’t. We aren’t your boss.
If you ask for a tip you won't get one
Tipping Culture is the biggest joke ever.
I'm not TIPPING you for bringing 3 plates with food to my table or pouring me water into a glass.
Fiancé confronted over tip, even though I paid
Called because the tip wasn’t enough
