His "new rule" is just the way most people have treated tipping for a long time. I've never tipped at a fast food restaurant. I only tip at a fast casual restaurant if someone takes my order after I am seated. I won't tip if my only table service is the food delivery (no drink services at the table). I think most people have done it this way if they are in their 30s or older. I see nothing shocking here other than the idea that customers should tip for all types of restaurant services. I won't be subsidizing some fast food restauranteur's payroll when their employee did nothing more than the bare minimum of service.

Good rule.

If you do not tip a tipped employee then the worst case for the employee is they earn a full minimum wage, and the restaurant has to pay a full minimum wage with no tip credit.

Restaurants are pushing the "customary" part to the limit. I went one place where we had to order by kiosk with no employee to greet us and answer questions. The last part of the order dialog was the tip amount for the order. By pushing customary they will expand the types of tipped employee allowing them to pay less than minimum wage and take the tip credit.

I was a waiter, I support the tip system, but not in the direction it is going. If you order standing up, no tip.

These lazy pieces of shit all bitch and moan about wanting tips for doing fuck all. Then there's guys like me that work at an auto parts store putting batteries in cars and fixing other stupid shit (that would commonly be charged an hour of labor in any shop) and i'm lucky if I even get a goddamn thank you, let alone a tip.

I'm very annoyed at "tipflation". I don't tip for counter service. I've been asked to tip at completely automated stores, which I refuse to do. I've even been asked to tip a computer algorithm (at super.com) because it saved me money on a hotel. Can you fucking believe that?

I feel like the only way this tipping shit stops is if (at places where you pay before you get your product) when they turn the screen around, ask for a manager. When they come, tell them that you are canceling your order because it is unreasonable to ask for a tip at this kind of place, then walk out. If enough people do that, and their bottom line is hurt, shit will change very fast.

As usual this is all jewery.

One upon a time you could work in a service industry and, while probably not be rolling, get by.

But endures borrowing for jew stuff has led to endless printing and inflation. Must pay for wars and importing 4th worlders.

Now we need a higher basic wage. But small businesses are getting by on margins also hiring from the usury scam. So they try to pass the wage off as a tip.

Most people are decent and get is not the workers fault they're paid shit so try to give a little more. But that only encourages the mega jew controlled businesses to push it further.

Certainly some businesses are just greedy and won't do right by employees. And some can't get by themselves on their on margins after usury.

Either way the only answer is do whatever you can at home. Make your own food, be your own coffee, you'll be healthier, wealthier if you're wise.

I don't go back if I'm pressure to tip anywhere other than a nice sit down resturant (and even then it's stupid. The rest of the world manages to have resturants without that). Unfortunately that probably means I leave some small businesses who mean week but have their own backs against the wall. But the line must be drawn.

I tip above average for 'service' and the service industry has No Idea what service is.

I’m going to start reducing my tips for the bartender, opening a can of beer doesn’t even deserve $1. Pouring a pint yes, a can hell no.
