(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay, is it hypocritical take tips, but not give tips?

So, when I go out to eat at restaurants, I 99% of the time, don't tip.. Call me a dirtbag I don't care. There's no rule or law or anything that says I have to! But, when I work, I have a tip jar (I work at Dunkin Donuts) and sometimes, people tip me, at the end of my shift, I take the tips.. Now people don't have to tip me either.. But my friends say it's very hypocritical that I take those tips and don't tip when I go out to eat.. Please tell me this is false as I am disagreeing with them.

Posts your thoughts and let me know! I want to show them that I'm not alone on this thought :p.

I do not think hypocritical is the right the right term in that situation... Or, maybe it is? But, you have a point that it is no a law. But, you should not expect great service when people start to recognize you.

I tip depending on the service and judging on how busy it is. For example if the person serving me does not come around @ all and I seem them just chit-chating the entire night the will get next to nothing...


I tip because I know that those people make next to nothing, some deal with the shittiest bosses, and the people they wait on can be just as bad. If its you and/or a couple people and you don't tip w.e... Although I think a table of 5+ people should be required to have a minimum tip rate included in the bill and if the customer thinks the service was good they can tip additionally.

I only tip if the waiter isn't a complete asshole, but yeah most of the time i don't feel like tiping.

Dirtbag, tip!

Most servers make minimum wage and deal with shitty customers daily. Leaving a generous tip turns their day around, and it's only money. So, many depend on tips to rack in the money. I always tip, and I'm more generous if my waiter/waitress is real, not being nice just to get a tip. Most of the time, I get very caring waiters so it's not an issue.

Also, while on the topic, you MUST tip your pizza delivery guys, or any sort of food delivery people. They don't get paid for mileage, so tips is gas money really. On top of that, they scrape by with minimum wage. So yes, tip, dirtbag!

Yea My Friend Works At WaffleHouse And He's A Waiter Most Waiters Make Probably Make Close To This But He Makes 3.50 An Hour And Relies On Tips

$3.50 an hour is illegal.. lol, I think the federal minimum wage is around $8... he's getting played if this is true.

Thats What I Told Him And He Said, Thats What They Said Was 3.50 Was What All Waiters/Waitresses Make Per Hour lol..

Here is the deal, if you take a tip and tip another, you end up with nothing while that other person ends up with something. That other person may not do anything with it and they may but now you have nothing and the tipped money that went to you was intended for you not for the person who you just gave it to because you "have to tip them".

my sister is a waitress tough job but shit she bought her first car on tips made about 5k worth in a year that tip money adds up makes the minium wage into maybe 10-12$ a hour

Good discussion :y:
I personally it is a little hypocritical.
I personally have a tip jar and if people tip me, I appreciate it. 1/10 of the times that I see a tip jar I will give them a tip; if it's at a restaurant where I have a waiter I usually leaved $5 or so tip if they do a good job and if not, I don't leave them anything.
