Reply to comment by Dictalei in Shyndigz on W Cary not paying out tips. by itzaxumzn

They think that their protest is actually doing something. “I refuse to tip for this!!!”

Okay, well if you are making an ethical/moral argument about why you shouldn’t be tipping, then you should ethically and morally be ordering food at places you’re sure pays their to go people fairly.

Otherwise, it’s not that you’re super passionate about the issue. I bet you won’t tell that to go person to their face you don’t believe in tipping them. It’s that you are mad at the system and you don’t want to tip but you want to have your unethical cake and eat it too.

(General you, not you as a person)

People who are mad about auto-grats at 20% or whatever are flat out cheap. They feel they have the power to short change a worker and decide based on their performance what they deserve. I’m positive those same people are not performing at 100% at their office jobs or whatever salaried job they’re at, all of the time. Those same complainers make mistakes, they have bad days, but they’re not getting shorted on their salaries for things like that. But when a server or tipped worker, does something “wrong”, it’s totally acceptable to these cheapskates to dock their pay.

So when people are mad about auto gratuities, they’re just flat out cheap/have power issues.

I honestly wouldn’t have guessed RVA would have aggressive down voters at saying “maybe by not tipping your to go person you might be punishing the wrong person” but hey, you learn something new every day.

I don’t go places that I know don’t pay hourly for to go if I don’t want to tip. It’s one thing if you don’t know but if you know and just don’t care you’re an asshole in my book

Agreed about everything you said about auto grat. It’s the same concept as them adding the wages to the menu prices. It’s just going directly to the servers instead of increasing the menu 20 percent
