Tipping culture - what do you tip? in c/askbeehaw@beehaw.org
[โ€“] nootropic@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Reducing for terrible service I understand, but what about non-existent service? Someone only came by to refill a drink after I flagged them down and I had to chase down my check from some other person. Is that terrible service? Those aren't kitchen mistakes and I'm not some feudal lord that demands my servants' full attention - but that's literally their job. Would you tip 10% in that situation?

In Seattle, the minimum wage will be $19.97/hr with no difference for tipped staff. What would you tip in that situation?

Here in WA state, the minimum wage per hour is $15.74 (higher in some areas). Tipping culture says 20%, but that's generally to support lower paid waitstaff in areas that can pay less than minimum wage by employers. Where/What are you tipping and what kind of service would you expect for a 20% tip?
