Casually Explained: Tipping

He feels the need to add if they had extra money after Africa; stopped watching right there! I hate racists

you forgot to mention how this takes a certain amount of pressure off of the employer. if the employee doesn't make a good tip, they get mad at the customer, and not the employer for underpaying them

I never never never leave any tips while in USA. Not my job to pay the wages.

If i spend 100 dollars and you waited on me for an hour hand and foot, i will tip extra well. If you brought me two 50 dollar plates and i never saw you again. You did your job, and you deserve nothing extra.

In the good old times..... tip was a reward for doing more than bringning the food to the table.... which you are paid for ! ok a bit less than the minimum wage but still not slavery ! Here in Quebec since the gvt require waiters to declare their tips, not all of it of course, people feel obligated to tip..... and waiters feel like it's due to them no matter what kind of service they give you..... and they NEED their 30%... 40% so if you leave $2 for a $15 meal they gonna look at you like you tried to set their house on fire the night before ! Get a real job is what we hear most of the time.... don't worry with gen Z coming around the corner things will change.... how ? we'll see !

who tips on taxes?
not me

As someone who was a waiter for tips in America, please don’t do away with it. I made 150$ per 6-8 hour shift at an Ocharley’s…in 2006…

"Africa if they have extra money" I might have laughed out too loud for that one.

What a brilliantly casual breakdown of a deeply complex social contract. You've perfectly highlighted the core absurdity: a custom designed to incentivize good service has morphed into a mandatory subsidy for underpaid labor, putting the moral burden on the customer instead of the employer. The psychological pressure of that pre-programmed screen, forcing a public judgment in seconds, is a masterstroke of modern guilt. This isn't just about gratuity; it's about the entire, quietly broken economics of service. Fantastic commentary.

Stupid tipping culture...

If you give me an option to spend money vs not spend money I’m gonna choose to not spend the money.

This was worth watching.

I’m Thai, and I never tip. I think tipping is nonsense. Why the fuck do we have to pay someone for just doing their fucking job? It’s none of my business.

It’s literally a fucking donation.

DO NOT tip in Japan.

Don't ever tip. It's not the customer's job to pay the employees.

I would refuse tipping to force the workers to strike to force the restaurant to pay fairly.
It's on the restaurant to charge what the food costs, included the pay of their employees.

"In almost all first-world countries, you have serious medical expenses paid for by [money taken from you by] the government." #ftfy

In California, by law servers are paid at least minimum wage. This has no effect on tipping expectations, as far as I can tell.

America is a continent not a country

watching this video. 1 min in and all im saying tipping is optional. End of dis

When favor gets out of hand, it will become previlege

Tipping is stupid.

Tipping is when your partner isn’t comfortable transitioning from 3rd base to home so you make up a 3.5 base

Many countries you mentioned don't tip

Forcing the wait staff to pander for tips, the restaurant saves money underpaying the wait staff AND the kitchen staff who won’t see any tips, the successful waiters defend the system.

Tipping is a scam, it's unreasonable to expect the customer to take care of the employee. That's the businesses job, if you want to post a sign at the entrance notifying people of a dine in fee that should easily allow the business to cover expenses; likewise bars shouldn't be tip based even though I'm sure many bar tenders will disagree. I mean Fire Truck bro just charge me a flat rate up front for coming into the bar or something. Tipping is bad for the customer, bad for the employee, and a remnant of businesses taking advantage of the workers during the great depression.

Greed. Next question

We have to pay 25% in Uzbekistan

Most people don't use a calculator to give tips. Since we are quite individualists in the US,, it depends on the person's intention... what I dont care for is mixing the customer's intentions with tip culture in the US. I mean, when I tip out of appreciation, why would tip culture where I live invalidate my personal reasoning for tipping? Also, why even go to a sit down dinner if you're not tipping out of appreciation? When you pay for your food, you're still helping with the employee's wages, if that's how you want to interpret tipping. I'd tip cash to bypass all the controversy of tipping not 15% or 20% whatever on the machine.

Can't believe in U.S it's just a normal thing to pay a tip, no shot.

Tipping as an American is mad stupid. i ordered steak for me and my girl the cost was like $70 ( drinks and such also ) im like hm ill just give an extra $10 for the tip my girl proceeds to pull out her calculator im like….what? We actually calculating tips?

no tipping

Tipping is to help the waitress avoid taxes.

Why lower than minimum wage in the first place? Screw that.

Tipping is basically socially required or you just seem like an asshole or broke bitch. Capitalism has this country in a Full Nelson 😂

3:35 those glasses killed me 😂🤓

1:36 I thought you tipped movers with pizza?

Don’t forget the car wash. Who even knows anymore. We are expected to tip for every single thing.

Hear me out tipping like other countries would be nice, but no one wants to start the fire that ends with a higher wage (not tipping in a large scale consistently) because that screws over a lot of people

You do 0 tip in USA? You're a piece of shiet .

Restaurants should add it in their bill

Serious medical necessities are payed for by the U.S government.

If the tips do not meet minimum wage, you get payment meeting the difference.

In Japan, it’s literally impossible to tip. They will chase you down and give the money back.
