I worked in craft beer pre-pandemic. Man, beer release days were nice. Get a bunch of bozos all lined up for the minute we open, all want a whole case of the latest IPA for like $100, all of em blindly tapping the 20% tip option. Like, homie, I did nothing for that tip. I'm over here bartending, getting less from the people I'm actually serving beers to. Thanks I guess?
So now, especially that the economy is fucked, I'm very particular about what I tip on.
Yesterday I went to a juice place. Got 2 bottles of juice and a fruit bowl thing. I'm only tipping on the fruit bowl thing. I'll tip 20% on it, but you simply grabbed the bottle of juice from a fridge. That's not a service.
All in all it looks like an 8% tip, because their juice is $11 a bottle and the fruit bowl is like $20 after everything I added to it.
$4 tip. That's 20% on your $20 bowl. I'm ignoring the other $22 on the bill. That wasn't a service. I'm not tipping $9 for this interaction. A fruit bowl and two juices isn't worth $51 dollars. It's hard enough to justify the $4 tip when the juice is $11... The boss can't pay you better with margins like that? Or is the fruit vendor raking it in? Fruit isn't that expensive...
I don't get it.
What's not to get? You seem to understand it just fine. Rather than actually paying their workers a living wage, they can have customers subsidize their pay.
And then when they have a bad night and end up making $4/hour, tips included, you blame the customers for not tipping and not the employer who pays you literally $3/hour.
I do that too. Get draft beer, pizza and then a bunch of cans at a brewery. 60% was prepackaged so I'm not tipping 20% on the whole bill. Did my own math and it was like 10%.
