That'd happen entirely based on your demeanor and their recognition of you becoming a "regular", even in a world without tips.
Also, the problem with your "i'm a good boy because I tip 20%" just got downgraded to "meh". Gone to a Chili's recently? They default you to 20%, and use this clumsy poorly-reactive slider to change it. And you feel like an asshole for doing so anyway.
You want to be seen as a good tipper now? Time to cough up another 10%.
- KevinEldon 12y agoWhat I want is to create a mutually beneficial business relationship with someone. Loyalty and my demeanor definitely help, but tips are the proof that I'm providing some value too (as charming as I am, the few extra bucks the server knows they'll get from me does matter). Chili's is a chain restaurant. I've been there, but don't enjoy it enough to want to go regularly and so establishing a relationship there doesn't make a lot of sense for me. Although I do typically tip 20% when I eat there I'd prefer to not tip at all and would rather just order my food from the machine and have someone bring it to me. Chili's knows this and is positioned to cut their wait staff drastically if minimum wage was required for service staff or if they find that people are comfortable working with the machine directly.
