If you didn't want opinions don't make a thread asking for our thoughts then groan me a person who actually been to Germany And just responding like YOU ASKEDwow the responses to this thread are sad.
you guys are focusing on the German guy and ignoring the historical context of tipping because of low wages
Because usually people do this to justify not tipping. It’s basic manners to follow the custom of the country you are in. In Germany I’d follow their custom, like I do anywhere elsewow the responses to this thread are sad.

Again putting the german at the center of the conversation.... and ignoring the bigger picture. This is how big companies have been able to exploit workers... smh some people are extremely slowBecause usually people do this to justify not tipping.

I don’t think this information has anything to do with anti-tipping. The fact that black and women servers get paid less in tips constitutes a clear argument for an increase and minimum wage as it applies to service jobs if companies multi million dollar companies paid a fair wage tipping would be equal across-the-board, and servers another tip based occupations would benefit eventually closing the wealth gap.
Employers should pay their employees living wages.People should tip if they dine out
germans Already knew about the difference for long time theybhave something called "trinkgeld" which is the change left over from the meal or beverage. The servers make a standard wage though and the theings are pricer there plus you don't get free refills on pop and such. Every country has different customs I don't know why people bring that up like it's some appalling thing
But they dont so tipEmployers should pay their employees living wages.
Lmao .... that’s like another customer saying I didnt tip the waiter so you the next customer should double tip...But they dont so tip
People defend tipping because it makes people feel virtuous. Like they're being good people for tipping. If the minimum wage for food service workers went up to a good level and tipping were done away with that would eliminate that source of pride people have in themselves for tipping - that's why they want to keep it.Some of you embody the sentiments of your oppressors. That’s why they continue to thrive because you’re defending and upholding their ideologies with every breath you have.
They don’t even value your breath nor thank you for your hard work. Instead they treat you like sh!t also, but you’re satisfied that it doesn’t stink as much as working for tips.
Ha!
Lmao .... that’s like another customer saying I didnt tip the wait so you the next customer should double tip...
So much energy towards other fellow private citizens who also working ... but never the same energy towards corporations.
Crab in a barrel mentality on full display
There's countries full of civilized human beings throughout the world that don't tip. They just pay their waitstaff properly.No thats like me saying be a civilized human being
Real crab in the barrel is knowing someone is underpaid at a business
Patronizing that business as a luxury not a necessasity and then dogging out the employees becuase the business should treat them better
Thats weirdo sh!t

So much energy towards other fellow private citizens who also working class ... but never the same energy towards corporations.

First of all I tip.... but crabs in a barrel like are the reason why the wages are so low to begin with. In race to the bottom. Fighting the symptom not the cause.Having the same energy towards the corporation (and please note many restaurants are small privately owned mom and pop restaurants) would mean boycotting and never dinning out at a sit down restaurants. Do you boycott sit down restaurants? If not your mentality is screw the wait staff not the corporation, because the restaurant is still getting paid since you paid for the food.
