You dont don't understand the philosophy of tips.
It is also one thing to say you may not give tips in some instances but quite another thing to say or suggest that it is inherently wrong to do so, ever.

What philosophy pls? A philosophy that tempts workers to treat one customer better or worse or even resent someone just because they did not do extra after paying for their food. What if they did not have? What if they had other commitment. What if everyone in every industry begin to ask for a tip. No matter how you shroud it, tipping is charity and one should never be forced or embarrassed or blackmailed emotionally to give it.

Tipping is not compulsory and no one shouldn't get angry for that but then ridiculing someone's service is not acceptable.

LordIsaac:
In the US, you're "expexted" to give tip for every service, even uber....If you don't, you'll be seen as a stingy human who lacks empathy. Some can even attack you just like in the thread!

In Europe, it's not the same. And to the person who was trying to say I don't understand, some stores explicitly write in their stores that they don't expect any tips from customers. Call it what it is. Anything you are forced to pay is not coming from you. It's the same thing as what the police man does to you here in Nigeria.

Nigerians don't have a mind of their own. Anything foreign, they don't even try to find out its history or their own cultural philosophy, they just zoom, justify it and defend it as if their forefathers invented it. I see that as insecurity and not knowing yourself. If you go to some Asian cultures, the host must give you something. In some other places, you must bring something along for the host. Make una try study una culture before embracing everything foreign.

This lady is beautiful sha! See as my gbola dey rise for naija wey I dey.

No one is compelled to tip, and yes, you are right that it would be wrong to ambush, intimidate or emotionally blackmail anyone into doing so. Nonetheless it is wrong to assume that it is inherently wrong to tip and furthermore you cannot complain that anyone is extra nice to a generous giver.

JuanDeDios:
Well, this is one way of looking at it. But I don't think those working in that industry will agree with you. Higher foods mean lower patronage. That means fewer people employed and all.

Bro, I have run service delivery businesses for over 12 years.

I know what I am saying.

I am not against tipping... I do it all the time.

What I am against is making it an unofficial statutory right of service providers, with people getting cussed out or embarrassed when they decline to do so.

US and mentally unstable individuals are like 5&6 !!!

Ishilove:
This probably never happened, but it certainly makes for hilarious reading. The culture of tipping in the US is mental. Hehe

No one is compelled to tip key? Have you have of "if you cannot afford to tip, you cannot afford to eat there"?

I love her

What’s most important here is probably the fact that 99% of Restaurant waiters/waitresses are not employees of the Restaurant and are 100% dependent on the tips as income.

The usually bend over backwards a thousand times so as not to offend the customers and thereby secure a tip (income).

It's colonization of the mind that is disturbing Nigerians...I don't blame them.

The tipping culture in an America is a disaster. It is basically an extortionist idea that is build on self entitlement. It’s worse than the begging culture in Nigeria.

I dont tip...for waht exactly

Mscheww. She is being paid her salary.

To be tipped is NOT her right. Entitled goat 🐐

If the salary is not enough, she should get another job!

People like you are spiritually dark and reduce the light of enlightened and loving humanity.

Please try to stay away from restaurants and as much as possible DO NOT engage any service men or women to do any odd jobs for you, do them yourself.

You will be doing the world a favor.

Jeez.

Bribing and corruption has made this one not to know what is right from what is wrong. Tipping is nonsensical

SixSeven:
That's not true. That's the excuse they just make to justify what they are doing. You do realize that even food delivery workers demand tip? Have you seen the video of the man who brought a gun to the customer's house because he wasn't given a tip? So if it is about the cost, what cost is the delivery person saving or costing?


Whatever you have paid for is what you have paid for. Any other cost is extortion and that is what it is.
It's corruption. QED

Huh? The pizza delivery guy is underpaid too. (That means he learns less per hour than other people doing comparative jobs in the same economy). Like the waiter, the pizza delivery guy is underpaid because paying him comparatively well would make the cost of pizza to be very high.

Corruption? Ha. I think you should check the dictionary meaning of the word.

No, I don't support compulsion or bringing a gun to the matter.

This is simply unenlightened and comes across as what someone who is untraveled would say.

I came here to see pics of the leaf blower.

Its not a hard and fast thing. No one tips a grumpy waiter for example.

Oh ok. I agree but they all know and even have this stereotype that black people no send their papa when it comes to tipping.
On Uber, I don’t see how such expectation impact me. I order service then get notification for feedback and tip later after dropoff. No pressure, I tip if I feel you went the extra mile in customer service. Ubuntu

YOU WANT UPLIFTING? TIP NEXT TIME!
GET UPLIFTED, THEN!
THIS IS WHAT UNDERAPPRECIATION FEELS LIKE — HIGH VELOCITY!

Red Eyes everywhere very soon na like that people go blow leaf for NRS the moment they want to remove tax from your hard earned money

Red eye for NRS

Those wicked customers treated her badly, but she should have kept her cool and tongue-lashed them if at all, rather than attacking them with a leaf blower. But those stingy guys did ask to be uplifted though

What you did is justification for corruption. Let's leave who is right or wrong. I am more interested in your comment that it is not corruption. Can you define corruption please?

Are you aware inducement is a form of corruption? How come Obama rejected some gifts when he was President? Let's leave America and their double standards because they allow their companies support corruption through what they call facilitation payments.

I ask you, what is corruption and please analyze the scenario of tipping and why it is not corruption. I want to learn something new.

Adam began to 'salivate' and prophecy at the sight of the beautiful Eve, not knowing that sugary thibgs lead to major illnesses which ultimately led to his death.

Experience is the best teacher!

joseph1832:
Well she's cute.

I would def have tipped her, just for being cute, even after stressing her, though it's not my style to stress cute women. You know how I roll.

Normally every society get their own form of corruption which is a norm to that particular society. When in Rome, behave like Romans.

Never said it was.
It isn't a sin either.

Musty112:
When a bad culture has been normalized to appear as elite or decent. When is it a must to give or dash money. Una no dy get paid by your employer? Am I not paying for the service rendered or the product/food.

Giving Tips is not compulsory. I think she got offended by what the customers wrote , like a feedback, despite stressing her.

If they’d left without the comment, we won’t be reading this
Mind you, rounding up the bill is alright for a tip. If they had also made it 170, it’s a tip. This aspect of Tipping is also done in Nigeria. For example when one sells a sachet water (‘Pure water’) for 10 Naira, and 3 for 20Naira. The Price of one is about 6Naira, but then it’s rounded up, and that’s acceptable
