What do you think about tipping ?

This article says that tipping customs in United State, Japan and France. What do you think about these. So how is your country

I always tip if I can afford it. It’s not like I’m starving. It’s just a tiny sacrifice, like maybe I have to buy a regular coffee cause my tip money went towards the latte. Or maybe I have to eat oatmeal cause I ran out of money for lentils etc…

I think its best if workers get paid a reasonable wage they can live on, and if the customer is generous and statisfied enough a little bit extra is really good.

I'm from the United States.

Tipping sucks and I want it to end.

[yakup_firidin]

why, do you think that

[SnowedIn]

There could be (and are) books written about this.

First, it's a terrible way to pay employees. In the wage is VERY low and tips are expected to be part of the employees earnings. It's not actually a tip. Which leads to the second point:

Second, it's then incumbent upon me to pay the employee. A tip no longer becomes my recognition for great service, it becomes some sort of expectation.

It's a flawed system.

I'm not saying get rid of all tipping, just the part where it's part of earnings.

Tipping culture has gotten ridiculous. Everyone expects one, now.
