required tipping (servers making under a livable wage) is dud, tipping people because they did great is awesome

service charges are making headway in Seattle after the start of phasing in a higher min wage (even with a temporary $1 tip credit discount available to small employers), by all accounts it has been great for the restaurants that have adopted it. But then again this is a town where the bagel shop near my house is offering $250 gift card bounties for referrals so ymmv.

is that for referring a new employee? i could get into making bagels

tipping isn't just historically a form of noblesse oblige. And for workers, it's another example of capitalist practice in America, where it is possible to "make a lot of money if you work hard," that element of self-determination and hustling that doesn't seem as present in European countries with more socialist policies and greater social safety nets.
Semi-relatedly, are other sales/service jobs that get a substantial amount of their compensation from commissions and bonuses based on revenue generated for the company by that worker as prevalent in the UK/Europe as they are here in the U.S.?
― sarahell, Friday, 19 February 2016 18:49 (eight years ago) link
Plenty of sales jobs would have a substantial revenue-earned related bonus/component, no idea if the ratio of basic salary in these roles or if the ratio of these types of roles to overall workforce is comparable tho

i went to my first non-asian cuisine fancy no tipping new york restaurant a month back
it was one recommended to be by noted ilxor and tipper max (roman's)
it was the first day of their no tipping policy and everyone was confused, but when the server heard my accent he said "oh you'll get this" lol

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/13/business/joes-crab-shack-tried-getting-rid-of-tips-it-didnt-last-long.html
In one closely watched case, Joe’s Crab Shack has decided to revert to accepting tips at most of its trial locations, six months after announcing that it would become the nation’s first major restaurant chain to test a no-tipping policy at 18 locations.The casual seafood chain, which is based in Houston and has more than 130 restaurants nationwide, raised its menu prices at the test sites and said it gave higher, fixed wages to its staff. At the time, Ray Blanchette, then the chief executive of its parent company, Ignite Restaurant Group, called tipping “an antiquated model.”But Bob Merritt, the new chief executive, announced in a conference call with investors and analysts last week that the company was cutting back the experiment and that it would continue at just four restaurants, according to Nation’s Restaurant News.Company research had found that 60 percent of the restaurants’ customers disliked the change in tipping, Mr. Merritt said. They wanted to inspire good service with their tips and they didn’t trust management to pass on the money to its employees, he said.But Bob Merritt, the new chief executive, announced in a conference call with investors and analysts last week that the company was cutting back the experiment and that it would continue at just four restaurants, according to Nation’s Restaurant News.Company research had found that 60 percent of the restaurants’ customers disliked the change in tipping, Mr. Merritt said.

OK, can anyone explain this controversy to me? I heard an American on a podcast say "This is terrible: Uber said they were tipping the driver for us, but it turns out that's not true!" If the tip is an automated %, then what's the distinction between the money in this "tip" and the money in the drivers' cut of the fare?
Shouldn't people just care how much money the driver gets from the fare overall?
Are the complainers implying that they knew exactly how much Uber cut the drivers and were calculating that there was extra money on top of that figure?
― Alba, Friday, 13 May 2016 09:03 (eight years ago) link
being tipped is being paid at someone's discretion or seemingly at someone's discretion if there's no hint of discretion it's not a tip it's just a payment
tipping is weird and makes people think or almost think weird things
― conrad, Friday, 13 May 2016 10:18 (eight years ago) link
It gives a sense of control to the consumer that makes them believe they have power in the transaction, affirming the validity of a class of worker that is more servant that server, paid at our discretion

when i moved to canada i just started conversations about tipping with some people, and from that arrived at a blanket 20% tip in all service situations as being generous and therefore not making me look like a thrifty brit.

They should have focused on CEOs. Their cryptocurrency could function both as a review and as a replacement for bonuses and stock options, and would follow CEOs to their next job in the CEO gig economy.

"I'd rather spend that money on other things"
Oy vey. Yes I'd rather not spend ANY money when I get goods or services, but livinginaSOCIETYcostanza.gif.Actually I feel the exact opposite of her: I'm never going to miss an extra dollar or 2 I tipped someone, whereas the cumulative extra dollar from every customer is going to be a significant amount for a server.
