I’ll pick some examples from the article.
> Schenker says it’s hard to sympathize with consumers who are able to afford pricey coffee drinks but complain about tipping.
How will it reflect upon tipper if they in turn judge Mr Schenker for being in this position in the first place?
> Tipping is about making sure the people who are performing that service for you are getting paid what they’re owed
This just sounds ignorant because the comment is pointing to the wrong entity - as in “who owes”. This is barking up the wrong tree. But society has enabled and allowed business establishments to create a situation like this. At the same time this is also entitled — the thought that the tipper is supposed to pay for service provider’s bills above the cost of the item purchased.
This is sad and outrageous. A person is driven to think like this. Is it society, or the culture and tradition? Or the businesses collectively doing this?
> Moore said she believes consumers shouldn’t be asked to tip nearly everywhere they go — and it shouldn’t be something that’s expected of them.
This is what I do. I leave a tip if I feel like. I exclusively do not tip if an establishment points to it, or asks me to tip. I say a simple no and that saying no is difficult but I always say no in this situation.
The last thing I want is this outrageous tipping culture, especially like USA, where I live.
- silisili 4y agoCompletely agreed. Tipping by definition is paying for good service - what you feel they've earned. Not what they're 'owed.'
