Reply to comment by Mrtencalories in When someone in the service industry is angry with their tip, they’re not mad at you they’re mad at their job by BrandonLang
You’ve worked as a waiter, and your saying that we shouldn’t expect tips? That people aren’t obligated to tip? When your a waiter, or bartender and your hourly wage is so low, you don’t even get a check 90% of the time..I’m sorry, yes we do expect tips. We also expect people to tip if they are going to sit down at a table and be waited on. This is just decency really. The drive through, or Carry out is always available for these hillbillies as well. I’d be embarrassed if I wrote this comment.

According to the IRS, only two things define something as a tip: it is voluntarily given, and it is the sole property of the recipient. So, technically no one has to tip if they don’t want to. But we learn who you are pretty quick.

You didn’t really look this up did you? Wow. Yes. Obviously it’s voluntary, which is why I said “we expect” not it’s a law! We are all (well most of us) aware of this fact. I’m actually speechless. I nothing else to say.

I’ve been researching this stuff for about a decade, and I’ve worked in the food service industry since 2004.
