Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 8th, 2025 8:57 PM Author: michael doodikoff Surely you don't tip 15-20% on the bottle of wine right? They just bring you a bottle and open it - is that worth $25? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48998035) |

Date: June 9th, 2025 2:03 PM Author: The Soo CR National Champions JUGGERNAUT No you have to tip 50% on the after tax booze and food total, haven't you heard. Servers expect to make 150k/year for carrying plates of food and if you don't want to help them get there, don't eat out! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48999905) |

Date: June 10th, 2025 11:02 AM Author: The Soo CR National Champions JUGGERNAUT This is so idiotic it’s barely worth replying to but why WAITERS of all professions in your opinion deserve $100k+ for carrying plates? The rest if the staff, the cooks, everyone else with a hard but low paying job? Nah you don’t care but high school dropout waiters are entitled to 100k for carrying plates.

Date: June 9th, 2025 5:09 PM Author: ;,;.;,.,;,.,;,;,.; Tipping is part of the price of admission in the US. We can philosophically debate its merits or wrongs but people just need to accept it isn't really voluntary and they aren't going to successfully wage a culture war to change it. You put 20% of your bill down unless there's an extraordinary fuck up and you go about your day. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#49000350) |

Date: June 10th, 2025 4:33 AM Author: The Soo CR National Champions JUGGERNAUT Tipping isn’t expected at all in France, there’s a service charge built in to the price and they are paid a living wage. Only an American tourist would tip 10% unless the service was truly amazing. French people are not into tipping generally they leave nothing at all or a token pourboire.

Date: June 10th, 2025 1:20 AM Author: rape laserdisc (gunneratttt) i ageee people should earn according to their value add and work. makes no sense a waiter should get a huge windfall just because a patron happened to order an expensive dinner.
btw what are your thoughts on steep inheritence and wealth taxes to ensure people dont receive generational wealth simply from being born to wealthy parents? |
|
Date: June 10th, 2025 1:28 AM Author: Edmonton Oilers There has never been in the history of all of mankind someone who inherited generational wealth who didn't feel entitled to it.
When the French Revolution intercepted Louis XVI's letters to the other monarchies in Europe he essentially said I own everything in this country and the Revolution is insane. I'm taking it all back for myself at the soonest opportunity. I'm only playing along with these people to bide time but when the monarchy is restored I'm going to make sure everyone knows it's all my personal property.
It's kooky but people who receive life altering presents from their parents universally feel entitled to them. Even if they are rich and everyone else on Earth is poor. It's still theirs. Even if it's wealth of an entire nation. It's still their property in their estimation.
In light of that it's pretty easy to see why people who were literally starving to death cut all these people's heads off.
The thought of RSF claiming that someone — anyone — earns too much when he has never earned at all is just too ironic to ignore. |

Date: June 10th, 2025 5:08 AM Author: The Soo CR National Champions JUGGERNAUT Fuckkkkk inheritance tax. Why should plate carrying HS drop outs make more $ than the people actually cooking your food which in many cases they do? They seem like the least valuable members of the restaurant team yet get the biggest payout. Also tipping was predicated on this fiction that they don’t earn a salary and need tips, now they are making at or above minimum wage which seems to be appropriate pay for the skills required to do their job. Not a very coherent argument to compare a family being able to pass down earned wealth to being extorted for charity by plate carriers. One is keeping what your ancestors earned the other is demanding strangers pay you a second income just because you want it.

The cook doesn't make enough, the pilot who flies you around doesn't make enough, the concierge who checks you in and the maids who clean your room, all earning an honest wage all included in the fee! But a waiter is a leech on society. You know you've inspired me, in light of their largesse, I think perhaps we should simply kill them all. No value added, unlike RSF who is a huge boon to society sitting on his ass all day picking his nose. I'm glad you've identified the real assholes in this situation, the waiters.

if anything the wine requires that whole performance show with pouring a little bit in and handing it to you to sniff and say "okay thats good"
just tip 15-20% on the total minus tax |

Date: June 9th, 2025 2:22 PM Author: theranchman lmao no server gives a shit about whether you can justify your tip with weird jew math. the purpose of a tip is to make it socially acceptable to return / get good treatment / not feel disgusting shame skimping some 20-something when you walk out. your napkin algebra has no import to anyone but yourself (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48999970) |

Date: June 9th, 2025 2:25 PM Author: internet g0y How am i fighting the hypo? He is saying tipping on wine isn't justified due to the differences in labor involved. I point out that its the same labor involved in food that the server brings. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735040&forum_id=2#48999981) |
|
Date: June 9th, 2025 2:32 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., you're fighting the hypo by comparing an expensive entree to a similarly expensive wine. the intent of the hypo seems to be to present a scenario where the wine is grossly disproportionate to the cost of the food.
imagine if you have some michelin restaurant with a $600 food bill ($300 tasting menu x 2 or whatever and you've already got the most expensive possible food), and you get a $3000 bottle of wine.
this case shows how retarded it is for you to attempt to fight the hypo.
if your answer in that case is still to tip 20%, fine. but dont fight the hypo. |
|
Date: June 9th, 2025 2:37 PM Author: internet g0y thats not the "intent" of the hypo
the intent of the hypo is to ask why he has to tip for something that is so easy to do (bring wine which the restaurant already gets bottled) as opposed something he perceives as harder to do (bring food which the restuarant has to make) hence the objection that it doesn't fucking matter bc the server does the same amt of work
your explanation also makes zero sense becuase there is nothing about drinks that warrants tipping less except for the fact that the restaurant doesn't have to prepare it like they do food
|
|
Date: June 9th, 2025 2:47 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., the intent of the hypo is obviously to address a disproportionately high wine bill relatively to the food cost, my man.
and this is a perfectly reasonable hypo to ask, especially in fancy restaurants where someone may have a 5 figure wine bill and the sky's the limit in terms of the wine bill and there's only so much you can possibly spend on food. |
