I wish folks with this attitude got docked some of their pay when their co-workers or boss decide they weren't happy with their work.
I just consider tipping the surcharge for not having to do service / restaurant work myself any longer. Been there, done that, don't want to do it again.

I worked customer service up to a year ago, and I never felt obligated to tips. I did my job and got my money. Every once in a while, a customer would tip me for good service, but it was never required. Tips were on top of my wages, not part of them. > I just consider tipping the surcharge for not having to do service / restaurant work myself any longer. Been there, done that, don't want to do it again. Then what am I paying for? If $6 is a more appropriate price (for the item) to cover wages than $5 is, then the business should charge $6, not $5 plus a "hidden" fee.

- josephcsible 4y agoThe equivalent of not getting a tip is not getting a bonus. It isn't having your base pay docked.
- jzb 4y agoService jobs tips are part of base pay. Especially wait staff that make below minimum wage.
