I know tipping culture is extreme, but I've never seen 100%. I don't think this is real.

I can't find the original image, it's just been reshared dozens of times on Xitter, Threads, Facebook and Reddit, but nobody is adding context or naming and shaming.
So yeah, probably just ragebait.

If any place said a 30% tip is so so, I'm not tipping.
If I saw this I would give them exactly what I think they're worth. $0.01 and a bad online review.

If you can't afford living wages for your staff so they're not dependant on tips, your store shouldn't be open.
Everyone working a job should be making a living wage. "Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good. If it's not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn't exist. Period. I will die on this hill.
"Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good
I don't know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don't have tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.
Apologies, I'm not trying to say that that argument is true or has any basis in reality, more so that the argument is completely irrelevant

They did away with most of their staff and their prices went up over 100% over the last 5 years or so anyway. It's corporate greed all the way down.

Custom 0%
It ain't my job to pay your employees salaries
Maybe it's your job to avoid patronizing places that don't pay their employees enough though?
No, it's not, however as a near-minimum wage worker myself, it is also not my job to cover a massive corporation's lack of proper budgeting...

10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It's a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is. Also, NEVER PRE-TIP. That is insane!

This would be an automatic "custom" > 0% for me. Sorry, not sorry.
Back when 15% was considered standard I liked tipping closer to 30%, but as a direct result of the push to try to make 15% seem low I no longer tip more than 15%.
My tipping follows the inverse of how much I am paying for the product. If the product is well priced and the service was good I have been known to tip 100% for excellent service. Now that everything is nearly double the cost of what it used to be I am more inclined to tip 50 cents to a dollar max.
They should be paying exceptionally well for what they are charging, but we know that isn't the case. I don't have unlimited wealth to spend either, fuck me for being poor and wanting some comfort "restaurant" food occasionally.
The food prices went up 20% so my logic is if I continue to tip the same % the waiters should still make more money. Increasing the food prices and also doubling the tip is just double dipping. My work isn’t paying me 20% more every year so I can’t be paying for everyone’s inflation.

Maybe the restaurants should pay their employees so customers don't have to pay them? I know it's a radical thought.

Select "Custom" and type 0.00 without breaking eye contact. Be careful, though, that 0.00 can quickly turn into 8.88 if you're not looking.

30% is soso? Go fuck yourselves.
Avoid joints that's "require" tipping.
Deny the parasite profit.
This would get an immediate Custom -> 0% from me the moment I see it.
Fucking "soso" for a 20% tip the hell

Custom: 0%
Every time.
If they give me the No Tip option, I usually tip a little bit. But fuck off with this idea that you should be tipped. It helps no one.
30%: underpaid
40%: immorally underpaid
50%; criminally underpaid
100%: Les Miserables
It doesn't have to be like this, America. Not only is tipping not expected in Australia, but when the "Choose tip" screen comes up on US made software, all the servers I've ever had skip straight through it and choose zero.
Servers deserve to be paid fairly.

I'm not even paying the bill at that point.
soso is the same sound as a word that means breasts in my mother tongue.
Could be worth it under the best of circumstances.
That's an immediate $0.
The moment they ask for a tip they are not getting anything nor a repeat customer.
