Being rude to service staff. Immediate indicator on who they are as a person. There is zero reason to ever be mad at someone making near minimum wage whose job it is to grab you a drink or check you out or something. It also shows that they've themselves never worked service, which is a rite of passage
"Why should I tip?! I'm already paying for the service!"
Immediately leave without even telling them to take a cab.
Edit: 1, I am in the US, yes.
2: the wording sounded like it implied a behavior of a date while out dining. I was answering based on how I'd respond if a prospective mate treated underpaid US staff shitty.
Happens to be true in all modern western countries though, only the US seems unable to force companies to pay a livable minimum wage.
That is specifically a US problem.
Not necessarily. I'm not in the US, but we've imported a lot of their less savoury customs, and tipping culture is one of them. It is costumary to tip 18% where I'm from.
If I am ordering and picking up at a counter fuck tipping. If I'm actually being waited on then I'll always tip if the service wasn't dogshit.
I tip in those situations because the $5 won't make a difference to me, but might to them.
Like, if you're broke, whatever. But some people are pulling in seven figures annually and still whine about a $5 tip.
