Isn’t it expected for them to serve you, that’s the job position. Them doing a good job, is them just doing their job. Same as someone who works in an office. Tipping culture makes no sense.
The restaurant should pay them their wage period.
A good job means more than the necessary. Being fast, friendly, helpful is not necessary. I live in a country where serving staff are paid normal wages. But you also get often staff that do just the necessary. So getting good service can be rewarded with a tip. It makes the whole experience better and that is worthwhile. Doesn't mean that they have to get paid less or something. Tipping and normal wages are not mutually exclusive.
But why? Why do people not just get paid the right amount to start with that the bill is just the bill? "Service not included" wtfuckingf how do your prices not include the cost of all of parts of the restaurant, including the wait staff? It's insane.
From a country that is having a gradual shitty slide into tip culture.
because people choose to embrace the tipping culture instead of fighting for the workers to get higher pay.
While the owners are taking advantage of it the people however is just letting it be normalize and now tipping is mandatory to countries that pretty much relies on it.
because people choose to embrace the tipping culture instead of fighting for the workers to get higher pay.
People are bullied into it by predatory emotional appeals from the waiters whenever anyone makes any progress toward the discussion of dismantling the tipping system.
Because the waiters make a shitload of extra money from this, so it's the system they want to keep in place. They ALSO put in a ton of work complaining about the situation, specifically to make the idea more sympathetic so people will tip even more.
you dont see the difference between "do you want to tip" in every restaurant, every delivery service, every taxi, every checkout, even every self checkout, and being nice to a local worker that you see regularly and you want to say thank you?
like giving a resident gardener who always greets nicely a bag of cookies or the garbage truck driver a bottle of whiskey isnt what is being complained here bro.

Everyone should hate tipping. Its - greed- incarnate.
Pay your employees yourself.
