This is disgraceful !!!

For years I've been saying that tipping in the US is pathetic, not the idea of tipping for exceptional service, but the idea that the patron is expected to pay the staff's wages !!!

Like WTF !!!

Pay your employees the right wage, I'm not suppose to be paying your staff because you're too tight .

I also got the shjts big time when I went on my first and ONLY cruise to Alaska, trip was great, people lovely, hate ships of any size but my one big hate for the trip was the compulsory tipping adding to the bill for every day to supplement the crew's wages.

I think the GG boyz gave a $300 tip or some such amount on one night but the staff deserve something for putting up with them

Bottom line here is that getting patrons to pay YOUR staff's wages is thightarse behaviour by rich CLINTS dodging THEIR resonsibility.

Neralee and I often tip staff at restaurants when the service is prompt, correct, cheerful and generally a pleasure to interact with but I absolutely refuse to be bullied into paying someone else's staff

WUTY and pay people a living wage

Yes we usually do the right thing particularly after Gezim's been there....

 

So that's $40 for 2 drinks ?

Domestic beer and house red !!!!

FFS, Ned kelly hasn't died, he's just moved to the US

 

I'm not saying our form of tipping is perfect, but you just saw what happens when corporations try to make you have a better guest experience. Once the servers can't earn at a place, they leave. What do you think happens next??? Robot servers and bartenders are coming soon.

Ned Kelly would be eaten alive by the guy that added the fees on that tab.

$20 USD is like $28 AUD a drink. That includes the tip. You can keep your hands in your pockets assessing your change.



Tip shaming is respectable here. The replies are great.

Ok, so I misunderstood what the ‘Head waiter’ meant. But $20 is $20….

And then the Head Waiter came over ………. [emoji848]

 

Whomever “Vital Vegas” is sounds like a total wanker.

 

Totally, when was the last time you saw a casino give you back 20% of your loses ?

Mind you, back in the old days when my dad took me to illegal casinos in Sydney, if you won big you always paid the owner a "tip" to get home safely

 

How do I get a refund on my pre paid tipping on GG.

 

I only had one onion ring and some tap water, why should I leave a tip?

 

Gratuities are considered a GG prerequisite for billionaires in billion dollar cars. [emoji41]

 

Faark there’s no way I’d leave a tip for that either….

 

Did we tip on GG......guess NOT.

 

We did, at every Red Rooster remember?

Oh, that’s right…

Telling the waitress you're only going to put the tip in is not the same thing

Still going on, pathetic restaurant owners .... PAY YOUR STAFF THE RIGHT WAGE !!!

And 25% tip ??!!!

Are you ****ing kidding !!!

America have done some great things, ..... this ain't one of them

Imagine going to work and EXPECTING clients to tip you to pay your wage, there'd be a lot of homeless people

 

For once In your recent posting history I 100 patcent agree with you!

 

Having been to The States many times both for business and holidays (Arizona 6 times) .

I understand fully the reasons for the tipping % and WHY staff crack it when the correct % is not left as gratuitous.

Perhaps before you mouth off, understand the taxation reasons WHY!
