How? If you tip a waiter after they've done their job, all wrapped up and finished, how do you benefit? It's not like they're going to remember you the next time you come in. They see hundreds of faces a day.
I've no idea if you're a waiter, but that's the example.
It's not a bribe, but the benefit is recieving better, more prompt service if a tip is on the line. Waitstaff often does remember patrons. I'm not condoning it, just explaining
Do t worry, here in the US we are doing it right. We are getting basked to leave tips when we use self serve kiosks and pay our fucking rent. Everyone expects a tip these days here. Pretty sure within the next few years the god damn emergen services will be expecting tips.
I went bowling a few months ago and the guy literally just rang me up and got me shoes. When I paid at the end, it had a section for tip and the lowest suggested was 18%. F that! I'm not tipping you for handing me a pair of shoes. It's so out of control here
Right? I've had it pop up on the square readers you have to use at conventions, like no I already paid you $10 for the stupid 3d printed axolotl that cost you 12¢ to print, I am not tipping you an extra 20%.
Just wait a little longer for the supreme court's decision that 'gratuites' after the fact are not bribes, and then EVERYONE can start putting their hands out!
Idk, I used to be a loader for orders for contractors and after hauling 20+ 80lbs of cement mix into trucks for one customer it always made it feel a little better when they’d slip you a 20 or something. I was paid well so it’s not like we ever expected tips, but just sayin. It shouldn’t be compulsory it should be something reserved for when someone has done above and beyond work imho
Why would you want to tip someone who is their own boss? They set prices already to factor in their costs of doing business and the profit they seek. You say you want to but why? Because that’s what everyone does?
Because they did a damn good job and provided excellent service during my appointment?
You might a well ask why people tip anyone.
You say you want to but why?
Because I want to. Because I think the employee who helped or served me had earned it through their work. I don't give a shit if other people tip or not. If I think someone deserves it, I'm tipping them. End of.
It's a gratuity, not an obligation. If the service was poor, you get nothing. It's not my job to pay employee wages. My tip is supposed to be a bonus on top of the regular wages.
Dude, you literally sit there or lay back while they do their job. What excellent service is involved? Do they hold your hand while you cry? A happy ending?
You've clearly never had a bad or new artist. I don't think you've even set foot inside a parlor.
I had a tattoo artist do exactly the design I gave, with no input, no artistic suggestions, just slap it on, needle up, "pay me." He got a small tip, since it is still something I cannot do myself, and the service was provided professionally, if not exceptionally.
My most recent artist talked design and placement with me, listened to what I wanted, and tattooed the design in stages so I could get a look and feel for it and I ultimately took one of his suggestions and couldn't be happier for it. The dude put incredible work in and over 2 years removed it still has incredibly fine detail with no need for touch-up. He got a good tip. I will go out of my way to book with him again, and I can practicality guarantee he'll get another great tip from me.
