This! I have never heard a compelling explanation of this. It gets doubly weird with alcohol in the equation. A group of 4 shares a $60 dollar bottle of wine with dinner. The waiter/ress brings a bottle and pours 4 glasses. If that doesn't kill the bottle they leave it and often the guests refill on their own.
= $12 tip
A table of 4 gets 4 glasses of pop $2.50 each, each a different kind. The waiter/ress brings 4 full glasses to the table, and then goes back and forth filling them for each individual.
= $2.00 tip
What?!
- greedo 10y agoBecause tip culture helps the restaurant owner make money. If you incentivize your wait staff to push expensive specials and high priced wine by the bottle, then both they and the restaurant make more $$.
