Server Goes On A Rant About Customers Who Don’t Tip Enough: “$10 Is Not Cute Like It Used To Be. It’s Not The 2000s”

Mixed Reactions from Viewers

However, the server’s video didn’t land as positively as he might have hoped. Some viewers were offended by his remarks, feeling that tipping should remain a personal choice rather than a requirement. One viewer commented, “We always tip 20 but this video rubbed me the wrong way. It’s what I WANT to give, not HAVE to.”

 

 

Others echoed this sentiment, with one person writing, “I’m so tired of servers being so entitled, INFLATION AFFECTS US ALL.” Another viewer added, “I tip when the food is good and the service is above and beyond. You aren’t entitled to a 20% tip, if you don’t like it then get another job.”

More Work, More Tips?

In response to criticisms, the TikTok creator defended his stance. When someone pointed out that serving an expensive $50 plate isn’t necessarily more work than serving an $8 plate, the server replied, “To spend $50 at my place, people have to get multiple things = more work.”

Still, many commenters disagreed, emphasizing that tipping, no matter the amount, should be appreciated. One viewer summed it up by saying, “Tipping has gotten out of hand.”

 

 

The Bigger Question: Should Servers Expect a 20% Tip?

This raises an important question: Is it wrong for servers to expect a 20% tip? While some argue that a tip is a gesture of appreciation rather than an obligation, others believe it’s become part of the job’s financial model. Should this be the case, or would it be more ethical for employers to pay servers a livable wage instead of forcing them to rely on customer generosity?

How Do You Decide How Much to Tip?

When it comes to tipping, everyone has their own approach. Some tip based on the service they receive, while others follow the cultural norm of 18%-20%, regardless of the experience. What’s your tipping philosophy? Should the tipping system in America remain as it is, or is it time for a change?
