The whole U.S. tipping thing is BS. Just pay your employees a decent wage. And, in the case of services, if they do an outstanding job, you can tip them anything YOU decide to on top. That way you AND the employee know what they're in for at the minimum from the start. Simple, fair and honest.
I'm with you floppy🇺🇸
I was literally ranting about the 18% low end tip the other day. I'm a good tipper, but when they did nothing but take your order, and then they're just sitting there judging you as you decide whether or not to tip them, it's not a good environment.
It's a bit cheeky to ask for tips when you've done nothing but take an order at the till.
I refuse to put tips in jars.
Everything Charity is tipping a CEO
I've waited tables in my younger years and I get offended at these places that sell goods and ask for tips for counter work. I usually avoid them after that practice is identified.
Yes same here
I love visiting the US but one thing I hate about America is how you're just expected to tip it's dumb I'll tip if I get good service!
I remember last time I visited the us a restaurant had added an 18% tip to our bill without asking ? I don’t know if that’s normal but surely tipping should be a choice.
It is so weird, especially when you think about the fact that most people tip at bakery's and restaurants etc but not at Mcdonalds for example. Who decides where you do and do not tip?
If you dont tip the server is literally waiting on you for free ? If you want free service go home
@@timbervandenhul9383 because at McDonald's they make at least minimum wage, servers make $3 an hour and that all goes to taxes , they get zero checks from that . So they only live off your tip . If you cant afford to tip than you should not be eating out , if your that hard up stay home
JGstunts22 I can certainly understand tipping waiters in any environment until something is done about their pay, but not like in the scenario Cody and is wife were in. That’s a bit rich...
It’s funny how you say people shouldn’t be going out if they can’t afford the tip though, which to some extent isn’t wrong, but at the same time you’re not going there to pay someone’s wage, you’re going there to enjoy a meal, and should be able to expect that all workers in that restaurant are getting paid well.
But of course that’s not the case, because for whatever reason, America’s hospitality wages seem Luke they’re from 500 years ago lol.
Pay your staff a fair living wage and make sure your guests know that tipping isn't expected. If it means an employee gives bad service, let them go.
Exactly what is a "fair living wage"?
+mikeallenbrown1 I'd say that it depends on the type of work, the local cost of living, etc. In other words a function of many variables, not a constant. As long as the lowest tier of full-time work can put a roof over the employee's head and food in his belly I have no problem, but if the business can't afford to push that cost onto its customers it deserves to fail. I see no harm in tipping for exceptional service, but I feel that it should just be icing on the cake so to speak, not something required for the waiter to pay his/her bills.
+mikeallenbrown1 over here, in the UK, from Apr 1 2016 the 'National Living Wage' (effectively the mandatory minimum wage, enforced by government) for anyone over the age of 25 has been £7.20
($9.42 at today's XRT) per hr.
Please define for us a "Fair and Living Wage". As i see it, Whatever you agree to work for is "Fair" otherwise, you don't work there. Living is how you budget what you get paid. As far as a Minimum wage for servers, That would most likely be a big pay cut for them. Lets say you serve 5 tables of 4 in an hour, each one leaves you 20%. That could be $10 to $20 per table depending on the total bill for each. I doubt if the Minimum wage for servers is going to be over $10 an hour. That means they lost at minimum $40 that hour.
+Matthew Paul My definition of a fair living wage is in my previous response - "fair" depends on the employee's added value for the business and with "living" I mean a wage that (for full time work) would be enough for the essentials in the local area (roof over head, food, etc). If the service is like in your example worth $50 an hour (a bit over $100k a year, minus unpayed vacation, for full time), why not pay that straight up without expecting that the customer tips? I'm not against tipping for exceptional service, just when it's the norm. It may just be a cultural thing, but I (a Swede) like to have the costs up front when I eat out and find tipping to be a hassle.
My general rule on tipping is...if I pay before we eat no tip...and tips is based on service and attitude...right or wrong that's my 2 cents worth...
Everything there are people who work harder I’ll admit to that. As a server though, you should know we don’t make minimum wage, and rely on tips in America. It’s easy to tell a server to just get a different job or that it’s not your place to pay them, but not tipping isn’t going to make their bosses pay them anymore. I agree that the whole system is stupid, though.
@@Kirasamui626- " Everything there are people who work harder I’ll admit to that." What the heck does that mean?
Jon Hohensee don’t remember why I said everything but the part after that was response to the people who argued that there are careers that get more pay because more effort is put into it. Which is true.

LET'S MAKE TIPPING OBSOLETE.
You've got a most excellent wife, and she's got a great guy
we do not tip as a rule here in Australia and I like the system. Makes me very uncomfortable to have someone expecting a "tip" for ordinary service.
here in the states if you don't tip you better not go back to that restaurant or your food might have spit in it
That's basically why I don't like it. There have been occasional attempts at sneaking it in here but it's never taken hold. That's not to say that when someone gives me outstanding goods or service that I will both, make them aware how wonderful they where and slip them a bonus..
Are there stronger minimum wages in Australia for food service workers? Here you really do have to tip, for the server's sake, they make literally almost nothing if you don't.
The cost is added to the items overall price. Allowing the employer to up the wages. I am unsure what a basic wage is for a service employee in the US but Im thinking its less than here.
Where i live minimum wage is like ~8 dollars, servers make anywhere from a little over 2 to 4 dollars. But that all depends on the company.
Being a truck driver for many years I ate at restaurants every single day. I always did like my Grandpa taught me and tipped a minimum of 15%. If the service was bad, that's all I'd give. But if the waitstaff went out of their way to make your experience pleasant, I'd go as high as 40%. Minimum wage for waitstaff is very low and most of their income comes from tips. Sometimes people just have a bad day and it's difficult to keep a smile on their face every moment. As long as they aren't downright rude or discriminatory towards you, give the minimum. Unless they're a hipster. Then all bets are off. :D
William Todd I think the laws are similar across most of the U.S. That's what I've seen in my many travels, anyway.
I remember when I was a teen back in the 80's and some of my first jobs. I was head over heels excited when I got a raise up to 5 bucks an hour as a machine operator. Allowed me to build my first hot rod. Couldn't afford a skateboard on wages like that today.
+AZ Patriot Wow you would have hated what I started at then. My 1st full time job I got 50¢ an hour (1st part-time job was 35¢/hr). For those of you not old enough to know what that sign means it's cents. When I got my 1st Army paycheck it was a whole $95 per month and I thought I was in hog heaven! My how times have changed 😉.

Uh, isn't minimum wage for wait staff the same as for anyone else?
+metallitech In Pa, servers make $2 and change per hour. All their money comes from tips.
Hm, not quite; if it doesn't come up to minimum wage then the employer has to top it up.
So when I lived in Oregon, my wife worked at clackamas auto parts. That was a shock seeing that on video. I know all those guys, they are awesome. Thanks for the flashback wranglerstar!
That pastry is so light that we can see LIGHT through it!! I will bet it is awesome! "Are you gonna change it for me?" "Uh, No..."---- "Cody! Can I please unplug it?" "Done now.." This is one of your best videos. I smiled, giggled, and outright laughed through the whole thing!! It is so awesome to see and hear the love between you and the Mrs. :-)

ok, tipping in a bakery is a bit ridiculous, and 25% is down-right absurdity, however the custom of tipping is in No way "hateful", that's clearly misinformation. also, before you go abolishing things, it'd be nice if the wait-staff could at least be paid minimum wage. I don't understand how it's cool Not to pay them the legal minimum wage, just because there's a tipping custom.
If we're talking sit-down restaurants, i feel like, if you didn't come prepared to tip at least 15%, then you didin't come being able to afford to eat at a restaurant, shoulda used that money to get groceries, and cook at home.
+Red Cloud agreed. 15% basic service sit down Mrsw
+Red Cloud I waited tables in Oregon and got minimum plus tips
hhmmm do you have proof you can show that staff are paid below 'minimum wage' because they get tips? I ask because if it's a lawful employer they are required to pay min wage & any proof otherwise would be appreciated be the department of labor.

its just like working at loafnjug you make above minimum wage but yet you don't get a break or lunch break since legally companies like loafnjug are immune from the workers rights laws for breaks and lunches
+KILLKING110 Hate to break the news but way more than that employer does that. I was a govt worker for 26 years (worker not hi paid screw off). Even there a bunch of us who were willing to get the job done worked thru breaks and lunches. That is the norm now that too many feel the entitlement mentality & get away with not doing their jobs.
If you want to truly talk about those getting minimum wage why don't you talk about our men and women in uniform! They were and have always been paid below 'minimum wage' for the 24/7 jobs they do. And 99.8% of them don't play the entitlement game.

tipping is so stupid and never happens in my country, it should be up to the employer to pay the workers enough not me
Where do you suppose the employer will get the money from? A magic money tree in his backyard? Of course it will come from you, one way or another.
I suppose that a restaurant could come out and say "No tipping permitted" (and that is the case in some clubs) and pay its waiters more.
There would never be any incentive for the waiters (apart from philanthropy) to offer better service than that required to keep one's job.
I think a happy medium is about a 10% tip for really good service and 15% for excellent . Obviously, the waiters and waitresses should be paid accordingly, and the stated prices will reflect this.
Americans don't drink as much wine as I would - this can easily be 50% of the cost of a meal where I live, and it's a powerful incentive to get in and get out when I'm there, which is a great shame.
Twenty Rothmans They should combine service with the food price. Tips are supposed to be awards for good service.
Pichum4st3r: Thank you for replying - but are you agreeing with me that
"I think a happy medium is about a 10% tip for really good service and 15% for excellent . Obviously, the waiters and waitresses should be paid accordingly, and the stated prices will reflect this."?
You do have to feel sorry for the employer don't you, what would they do if they couldn't pay there staff a pittance and rely on their customers to make up the difference. Here's an idea build the tip into the price and pay your staff a decent wage.
jakesweet1000 Good serves should be recognized
lol and I love how Jack is in the back just chillin' listening to music! haha!
A tip is meant to be a bonus for a job extra well-done. I'm with Mrs W on this one. The idea of a tip, and the amount/rate should be up to each customer. I do hate when they have overblown rates on their tip choices screen, seems kinda greedy...
Thanks for being brave enough to eat on screen! Got to get the feedback and see the enjoyment right away.
Totally gonna have to look into one of those Sport-Mobiles
I'm from Norway, and we do not tip in our country. Perhaps at a sit down restaurant, and the service was good. But you dont have to. I am currently on a roadtrip in USA, an I struggle with the tipping system. And tipping when you buy something over the counter, I don't.
Ibislife in the UK the only place i can think of that its kind of expected to tip, but not mandatory is sit down resturants...and not all of them, certainly not a chain resturant. Bars are also the same, its nice if you do but not mandatory and you wouldnt get bad service if you didnt. Usually most people round up the bill and say keep the change, you give what you can afford...a set percentage is crazy to me. Its down to the buisness owners to pay a good wage, there may be a minimum wage but buisness owners are not obliged to pay that, they can pay more if they wish. While customers continue to supplement staff wages, buisness owners will continue to pay poor wages.
Ibislife I bet they are shocked when America people tip them
Here alot of companies pay servers very little because the job has grown to count tips as expected wages. Its hit or miss how well they do depending on location, demographic and all that. You get the right place and you'll make more than I do to wait on tables, the wrong place and you'll barely get by.

There's no law requiring you to tip, it's just polite and customary, when appropriate, like sitting in a restaurant for an hour or more, but waiting in line for coffee for 5 minutes and they expect a tip, you most certainly do not have to tip, there's no law saying you have to tip, so in that instance i would NOT tip, and wouldn't care what they think, it's your money that you earned, and coffee is expensive as it is
Holiday & SA serve better coffee than Starbucks. Just saying.
Great videos guys! I LOVE to tip heavy, but only when it is earned and deserved, I wish I got tipped for my hard work in road construction. Service varies and so should the amount of tip in accordance with that service. When someone tells you what to tip, it's like buying a birthday card for someone and having the person you bought it for tell you how much money to put in it.
Omg thank you for saying that about borrowing someone's car!! You don't see it to often anymore!

Tipping is very common in SE Asia in restaurants and cafes for table service, and seems a reasonable thing to do, but is not "expected" from the customer. Staff don't get high wages, but are often fed their meal by the business owner. Many car-park security guards at such venues get most of their earnings for the night from tips, and really appreciate what you offer them.
I have to agree with Mrs. W on the tipping issue. If I am getting ordinary service as part of a place I go to eat where they come to my table, I order and they wait on me I will tip. But if I am getting food that I have to pick up like a roll or pastries, through the ordinary buy at the counter, it is not a tipable event, it is the course of doing business. Especially if on their receipt it asks for such outlandish tipping practices. They count on you to feel sorry for the employee knowing that they are underpaid. But if you think about it, you are not obligated to pay anymore than menu prices for the goods, tipping is voluntary. You are not cheating the employee. If anything it is the boss that is cheating their employee, by not paying a decent wage to their employee for what they do. Usually it is so the employer can make higher profits, and depending on the costumer to make up the difference for his employees. If we stopped feeling obligated to tip for such ordinary services and the employer had to pay a fair wage could the employer compete and stay open for business? Only if the product he is selling was worth the true price of doing business. It would be a lot more honest.
Hi.I wanted to share a blessing with you, you have no idea what
I am talking about but its you, you are the blessing. Your TH-cam channel is a
blessing. I am fighting cancer and have been for just under a year. My mind is
very alert but the cancer side effects, fatigue keeps me very grounded. So I started
to watch TH-cams and came across your channel. What blessing, What a gift you
are sharing with us, sharing your life, family and interests. The videos are so
well done and no matter what the content is its always interesting. I like the
mix and scripture and you life thoughts. Keep up Gods work and Thank you
I totally disagree when a gratuity (tip) is automatically add to the bill. I always ask to have it removed, and, if I have had excellent / professional / service, I will always "tip" directly/ discreetly to the server....
Have it removed? A hahaha. Clearly you don't dine in American eateries
14:30 Jacks joke was genius!!! Too bad there was no reaction
Agree with the tipping issue. It`s out of control. Saw a tip jar at a grocery store, go figure. On a lighter note......I really like your videos cause you guys seem to have a blast going through life and it makes me happy to see you happy!
I agree with you guys, tipping is a bit strange when you're already paying for the items you're buying. I always believe tipping is something that should be reserved for exceptional services and not just a matter of being standard procedure. In fact, in Australia, tipping is not compulsory but very much appreciated. You only tip if you feel it's right to do so. Mrs W is right to be furious! Thanks for sharing guys! :)
In Australia tipping is rare because Minimum Waage is set as a living wage.
Teens get paid at a slightly lower rate, short shift and casual hours is set at a higher level to match the pro-rata cos of annual leave etc.
Tips should be a thank you for a good service and NOT their wage
Our country is tip crazy. I think it's the entitlement culture.
people having been tipping people for a very long time, its not a entitlement culture. I would say however that the cordial/respect part of process is forgotten.
It is something almost unique to North American tho.
Kevin Fraser
yeah, because in America waitresses get paid less than minimum wage. In Europe and such they are paid pretty well(in comparison). That is why its important to tip your waitress because they rely on those tips to survive. I agree its a stupid system but its not changing and if you dont tip your only hurting the waitress. Similar situation with barbers and stylist, they rent chairs from the store and make a little commission off of every haircut.
here in the NY metro area it seems to me more like a "big shot" thing to tip people. it's definitely not out of kindness because ppl here are generally quite mean and selfish. they tip big and tip in situations where in other part of the country it's not even customary to tip. it's largely about tippers ego. what makes me mad about it is that because of this, pretty much every worker has becomes conditioned to expect a tip no matter how crappy their service or minor what they've done for you.
They just get paid minimum wage as well in europe, but unlike here there sonly one minimum wage, no matter the job you are doing ....
It forces you to pay out of guilt. Seems like 15 or 20 is standard but in my mind that's for excellent service. I prefer cash tips cause it allows me to decide how much and I know the waitress/waiter can pocket it and keep the government out of their money.
Most of the waitresses/waiters have to report to the employer their tips or pool their tips with everyone in the establishment.
+Roy Reynolds why? So the company can cut their wages and use tips as a supplement? They shouldn't have to split their tips they earned it. If a company has a splitting policy it's because they underpay not only the waiters but the busboys, dishwashers, and the chefs. All these laws and rules are in place to move the responsibility to pay the employees from the company to the customers. If I buy a dinner for me and my wife and my bill comes I should know that it's covering proper pay to all who were involved with my dinning experience. And if my tip is what's the difference between all the staff making a fair wage or not then that company is ran by immoral owners. Who are really just trying to put more money in their pocket.
The reporting of tips is for the W-2 IRS form. And some restaurants do require the wait staff to share tips with the bus boys. I personally find the practice abhorrable to the employees. I agree that ALL employees should be paid at least minimum wage. If McDonalds and other fast food establishments can pay at least minimum wage then the other restaurants could also. It is only fair.
The idea of tipping anybody and every body on a trip is ridiculous.
You now have me on my soapbox.
+Roy Reynolds there's ways around the irs. I know legally you can gift a person money bellow a certain amount a year that the person does not have to report. So yes they "must" report tips but not gifts. 😉
The IRS assumes that you are making cash tips equivalent to credit card tips.
If you are a server, and at the end of the night you have $500 in credit card sales with an average of 18% in tips, then if you have $500 in cash sales, you are expected to report 18% cash tips. That goes for $0 credit card tips too. They assume you were tipped cash. I know, our restaurant was audited for an aggregate discrepancy between CC tips and cash tips reported over a years time. Two IRS representatives were sent to have a meeting with the tipped employees and educate them on the IRS' policy. They were very nice and professional and did not fine our restaurant but we were flagged for the next year. It was a kind of warning. Anyway, that's how they catch you. Most restaurants have a policy to report 100% of your tips after you tip-out bartenders, bussers, sometimes hosts. Most restaurant computer software can be programmed to not allow a server to clock out or run end of day reports without entering an acceptable % in tips based on sales. No restaurant wants to be audited. There's a ton of paperwork to comb through. The IRS doesn't really want to deal with that either because they would have to also audit each server as well.
Just be sure to tip your servers or those professions where it is a tradition to do so. In the restaurant biz it's ; $0 for terrible service, 10% or less for bad service (just try to notice what caused the bad service, were they understaffed and overworked, were some customers hogging their time or being rude/pushy/inappropriate and causing your server mental anxiety? Whatever, just try to be a decent human being when evaluating what bad service means) 15-20% for good or very good service, more if you had excellent service or an experience that was remarkable.
If you are a regular at a place tip well, you'll be treated well and oftentimes given freebies . Also, if you are a sucky tipper, you will be remembered and "auctioned off" to the worst server or newest server because nobody will want to deal with you. No one wants to work for a cheapskate and still have to claim a percentage they didn't make.
Believe me, I'd love to see more places go non-tipping, and offer a better base pay. But until that day, we live in a country that tips. And no, I don't tip jars on every counter, sometimes I do but I do not feel obligated to tip just because there is a tip jar. You have to use your own common sense on that issue.
Just an insider perspective. Worked in the bar and restaurant biz for 20 years. Nice to be out of it now.
I am a waitress myself since almost 30 years now and the main reason I do this work is because I love it, I love giving extra service just to give a good time to people and get smiles from them. And yes, this way I receive more tips than others but this is just the benefit of loving to do what I am doing, I am not being kind to anyone in order to get more money, I am being kind just because this is in my own nature. But to be honest, at least 80% of the waitresses out there are only doing it for the money and many are playing kindness to increase their gains. Yes, 15% when you receive a good service in a restaurant is the norm but if the waitress was not giving you a good service, why would anybody give her that kind of money? On the other hand, why would you tip that same 15% for take out meals as there is no service involved? I went in Greece where tips were included in the bill itself and this was a horrible experience. I mean some waitresses that were kind naturally were still giving a good service but out of the 80% of the rest of waiters and waitresses who were doing that work just for the money, there were none who were even trying to be nice with the customers because they had their tips guaranty in the bills anyway. Very bad service 80% of the time which always cost 15% of tips to all customers no matter if they were happy or not.
So is the bridge at 14:45 the same one you drove the Fire Engine over? Apparently Irish Spring soap shavings in the engine compartment keeps the mice away. However the smell migrates into the vehicle too. I see why it works. Wow, if that is your first flip off a diving board that was amazing! Are all the viewers buying that?

rant on sister!
If I can't afford to tip then I can't afford to go out.
that's how people should be thinking.
Yes, that is right . So I don't go out to eat where I would get waitress service. But now they want tips even if you don't.
I can say fair enough for a sit-down restaurant. But if I'm getting a coffee to go or just buy bread from a bakery, I don't feel the need to tip. The way I see it they didn't provide enough service to warrant it. They didn't have to remember my complicated order, they didn't serve me at a table, they don't have to clean up after me, etc.
Luckily I live in a country where tips are NEVER mandatory. There is a 10% service charge automatically added to your bill in most restaurants. I find that the system works fine.
Scott Johnson don’t expect good service
I pay the price for my food. Your employer pays your wage.
I agree with you!! If I just walk in and get, let say lunch, then no tip, but it I sit down for lunch and someone serves me, then yes, a tip is in order, I normally do 20% if the service was great!
If the alternator is bad voltage will drop once started, whereas if good voltage at terminals should go up immediately to 14 volts or so. It is common for a battery to lose a cell, it usually will have enough to start if fully charged but if won't hold after adding distilled water to cells it is the battery.
another bull shit thing that America does. charge the right price pay your staff the right wage end of story.
I'd imagine in most cases, at the pay stations like in the video, it's the management setting the default tip percentages; not the staff, who shouldn't be blamed. My standard tip at a coffee shop or something similar is $1.00 per item, in most cases. At a restaurant is 15+% depending on service quality.
Jeez Cody, Always, always disconnect the battery.
I have to agree with Mrs. W., the tip should reflect the service. A tip is not mandatory. I would just as soon pay a little extra for a meal and let the servers earn a good wage. What is worse is when the servers have to "share" their tips. You get the same amount if you give good or bad service!
I could watch you and your family all day! God bless you guys! :)
comment. Mrs. W. reminds me of my favorite girlfriend. That sort of energy level and smarts is rare. Whats cool is neither of you seem to take each other for granite. If you can tell the one you love after many years that "you still surprise and enrich me" then the flame is still lit. Im still on the fence about that big smile of hers. I just couldn't compete. Im not a big smile kinda guy. I smile with my eyes. Her whole face is smiling at you. It's way cool and wonderful. Thank you guys for sharing. Peace
for granite? lol
I took my wife for granite one time, and she took me for marble.
Thomas Williams granted* granite is a mineral
I would like to buy a wife with my extra granite. Please tell me where?
Granite? I thought more a pillar of salt. Lol granite. And then just keep on talking like that actually makes sense. Lmao
I like tipping someone the same amount as my meal if I can as long as it was good enough
so if you spend 25 at a restaurant, then you tip 25
O_o damn... thats way too much. Unless its a small 6 dollar meal. I usually tip around 6 bucks depending on what I get. I remember steak and shake was way too expensive it was 20 bucks a meal... I cant imagine tipping 20 bucks.
Pay servers more money and put the price of the tip into the food.
I was a cook at number of food joints, and a pretty good one I think, at least I tried my best.. The servers, although they didn't do as much work as the kitchen staff ALWAYS walked out at the end of the day with double the money any cook earned. If you want to bring up being underpaid, the kitchen is where you start.
Why not stop cooking and switch to serving?
So here is the deal, I am a small business owner and struggle with how to present tip options to our customers. We sell wine by the glass or in flights and people can buy bottles to go. We don't expect people to tip our staff when they just buy a bottle to go, but our technology cannot tell the difference, so it asks for a tip regardless. The other issue is that people will buy a glass then buy a bottle to take home, but we would only like them to tip on the glass portion (if they so choose). But it presents the tip options on the entire purchase. There is of course an "Other" button. However the machine has already presented tip options on the entire purchase. So don't blame the business or the cashier, it's just a technology limitation, there is usually an option to skip or tip another amount.
I do not tip for the service I am paying for. I tip for extra service. The barista that has a great joke every morning gets a tip every time. Hand me my coffee with a bored look and take my money? No tip for you. The plumber that ran back and forth to his truck for tools/materials instead of walking probably saved me 1/2 hour worth of labour charges. Gave him a 10% tip on the labour bill cash.
I also only tip cash because i am leery that the managers/owners may steal tips paid digitally as well as the fact that cash tips are not easy to tax. Had a boss steal the digital tips on me before.
What is actually happening at the bakery is the server is clicking the yes/no tip button for you. As soon as you insert the card the machine asks yes/no for a tip. If you select yes, then it prompts with the 18% screen. They are selecting yes for you and handing it to you after.
Don't believe me? Ask to insert your own card and try it out.
Btw, always inserting your own card and never letting anyone touch it is one way to help prevent fraud from duplicated cards. Also prevents them from reading the 3-4 digit security number on the back. With a quick picture of the front from the security camera and the code from the back you could make online purchases with it.
20% is now standard for sit down service. not 15.
+jbichl when did this happen and why? Mrsw
+Wranglerstar Servers are paid $2.13 an hour. The last wage increase was almost 10 years ago, in 2007. Cost of living continues to increase, as wages stay stagnant.
Ive been working in restaurants and the service industry all my life, 20% is not the standard. That would be the top end of the spectrum and deserved when you receive stellar service. If i take my family to an upscale steakhouse and spend 400 dollars am i really expected to deal out an 80 dollar tip? To the waitstaff that served me for 1-2 hours? 40 dollars an hour? Nope, i dont think so.
A tip is to ensure or reward great service not to cover poor business practices. We should pressure businesses to pay their workers a proper wage not pressure patrons to pay huge tips so a waiter an make a decent wage.
+jbichl I got minumum wage plus tips when I waited tables in Oregon. Realize that might not be the norm. Mrsw
It's an American thing, tipping. Doesn't make sense
I’ve been in the restaurant industry all my life and been in both situations with tips and where it was figured in to the prices of everything and it’s usually cheaper for the consumer when tipping when compared to places that pay the staff a higher wage and yet at the same time the wage is much lower than what you would make in a normal tipped position . Plus it feels good to give and sometimes even make someone’s day and then everybody’s happy. Lastly sometime those tips you give to people where you pay before or an already prepared item isn’t necessarily going all to that person most of it could be going to the person who made it, cleaned up after you as well as got the door for you on the way out. It’s very rare that a tip received solely goes to that individual.
Love your videos. It was a joy to hear you recognized Saturday as the Sabbath. GOD bless.
My, you certainly opened a can of worms.
19:29 God bless you!
Sabbath.... Adventist?
CJ Vapenik I was going to ask the same question
Cody so nice to have met you and your wife, I have been watching your videos for a-while and appreciate the way you present yourself and your life style. Sorry for interrupting your lunch with the family at chic-fil-la on Thursday I just had to say hello. Just one more think if I may If you ignore the haters that's the best way to up set them. keep the faith and carry on.
Good Service AND attitude you get a tip from me. Anything less you get zero.
I lowkey feel like they are stoners
I would tip a small business any day rather than support people who make a living off a videoing daily life. At least the business provides a real product and service.
you consume both.
How could anyone hate this video? 61 viewer's, really? I think you all should get out more and away from the key board. There, take that HATER'S.
Mark, those were 61 bitter self entitled waitresses/baristas, possibly all from SW WA.
Lots of people are jealous of those who have successful TH-cam channels. I get this all the time. It use to bug me a lot, now I hardly notice. Haters gonna hate.
Cardamom rolls... yum. So nice to see you interacting with each other.
And it didn’t feel like it was just for the camera......thanks for taking us along. So good to hear all the laughter.
Lol that was too funny with the arching of the wires .. I busted a gut laughing. Mrs. W was on the right track haha
You are indeed 'missing' something. You were lucky enough to be in a FABULOSO bakery! I don't know where that was, but if I find out, I will MOVE there. The nearest place that I can get some of the goodies pictured is 120 miles away and I would think nothing of driving there on a whim. I will spend $5 or 10 there and tip $20. I WANT them to succeed, I appreciate the hard work that they do to create such delectable things. Are people so jaded now that they don't realize when they are in the presence of exceptional product?
Darryl, for $20 I'll tell you the place's name & where it is! If their product is as exceptional as you say, they could raise the prices, but only if the service is exceptional do I feel compelled to tip.
It's not about service, man it's PRODUCT. Check it out- every minute the product is exposed to the air, it is aging. They actually can't charge you $7 for a slice of that chocolate-raspberry cake, (which is what it is worth) they won't sell any. Whatever doesn't sell goes in the garbage after 24 hrs. They hope that if they sell it cheaper, you will tip them the difference b/c it is so good. Nothing to do with 'service'. If you go in there and buy a cup of coffee and nothing else, you will pay a premium for refusing product, which is still going stale, btw.
Folks have the wrong idea about tipping. It's not about 'kissing ass'. It's not about 'rating' their performance. These people are THERE for your convenience, maybe they don't top off your water glass on cue, or forget to bring you Ketchup. No matter.
I'm a trucker, so I see a lot of this industry. These folks are wrung out and dog-tired of being short-changed or forced to jump through hoops to make a living. I say if you don't have an extra $20 to throw down at any time, stay home. You'll just insult your hostess with your penny-pinching, tight ass.
That's not just to you, but to all the other tight-wads commenting.
well said!
Wrong
The problem being that it wasn't a sit down type of place. It's a bakery. They walk in, order coffee, then walk out. They neither deserve nor will receive a tip from me in that instance.
If you hate tipping servers... don't go out to eat at a restaurant where a person making $2.33 an hour busts ass and hears nothing but complaints all day. McDonalds is open 24 hrs.
AftermathOutdoors Get a better job if you can't live off your wages. It's not a requirment to tip, nor is it to stay at a job you hate or that dosen't pay enough!
not everyone lives with their parents bud, there's bills to pay
Amen!!! Non-tippers should stay home. And don't even begin to call yourself a God -fearing Christian if you don't tip!
AftermathOutdoors did you even watch the video? It said they hate to tip in places where you're literally being forced to tip them from something you're buying at a place that isn't even sit down
Minimum wage is not meant to be a livable wage. It's meant for young people in school and people who need experience. If you're 30 years old and are making little over minimum wage it's nobody's fault but you're own for not driving yourself to pursue a better path. When getting a regular thing like coffee or fast food, there is no reason to tip unless service outstanding and employees go out of their way to make your experience a great one.
That being said, when you sit down at a restaurant and there are employees working to make sure your food tastes great, serve you if you need something, and chefs working in a blistering hot kitchen for hours on end, which by the way is just regular service, not great service, I personally NEVER tip less than 20%. Those tips go to everyone working and you shouldn't ever tip less than 20% either.
I luv my Wranglerstars ! 🤗😇😊
Thank you Susana!
Here, most restaurants add three different percentages for tipping choices. It might be rude but it could also help those who don’t know how much to tip or what percentage is right depending on service.
Hey there, love all your videos!really helpful to me. I live in vancouver, wa and was wondering what the bakery from this video was. I'd like to take my wife there. Thanks!
I have been in the service industry for over 20 years as a general manager.
standerd for tipping is 20%!! Why you ask. Well they are paid $5.01 per hour. (Can you live on that?) That goes for any service pizza delivery or any food delivery. Waiters , Bell-person, etc. If you find that unreasonable then go to McDonald's. or cook for yourself. Of course if you get bad service that different and report them to the manager.
When did it go from 15 to 20%? When I waited tables we were paid minimum wage plus tips (was the law - different every state). MrsW
Plus this was just handing me my baked good and an empty cup - I poured my own coffee to go. Why would this be 20% tip? MrsW
On counter help the only thing I have every seen is a tip jar.They are paid regular wages. The tip jar is a bonus for great service. Never heard forced tipping in that way. The only force tipping are corporate accounts are 15% and parties over 8 people 18% the rest should be 20% . A server never knows what they will get. It could be zero. We don't force people to tip. I was commenting mostly on the people that are commenting. People don't understand there not paid much from the company. No benefits No insurance etc. but I love the channel Keep up the good work. Have a great one.....
Yes you can, but there's a movie you should watch. IT'S called (Waiting). It happens. SO ENJOY YOUR FOOD!
One it's not guilt! Watch the movie! Two your feelings of condescension is unwarranted. I've managed many people who are hard working and while going to school and raising children on there own. They still need to live. I am guessing but I feel your are young and too self centered to understand. So being (CHEAP!) is who you are watch that movie. :)
Tip your server. Always. Even if the food is wrong. It isn't their fault, yet they take the "blame"
It actually is the servers job to make sure the food is right. They are the middleman between the cooks and the customer. They work in customer service, so, by definition, it is their job!
True. I always tip. If the server is rude or careless, I tip 5%; regular service gets 15% and outstanding service gets 20-25% from me.
GoGonzoJoe Wrong. It is to make sure the order is taken and given accurately. It is the cook's job to make sure the food is correct, per the order (correct sides, temperatures, etc.). the waiter can only lead the horse to water, not make it drink.
she was at a serving counter, not at a table like in a sit down restaurant. It was a bakery. :/
Lol, false. Fiancee was a waitress for years and she said when serves say "Oh the kitchen got the order wrong." they actually mean "I forgot to tell the kitchen that."
I live in Missouri, but I have traveled to Oregon on numerous occasions. You are in the land of the liberal take care of me state, I couldn't even pump my own gas last time...
I am always annoyed when I leave Oregon because I have to get out of the car and pump my own gas,
+Wranglerstar poor baby had to get out of a car and put a nozzle in a hole meanwhile there are people being beheaded
do you tip the gas station attendant as well?
+Rockin Pip if he wipes your windshield throw him a dollar or two don't tip if he just pumps the gas it's like paying a dog to lay down
fraser zach
i can wash my own windshield lol
You know you’re into a video when your heart jumps when it arcs a second time. 😬
In Washington servers make min wage plus tips, but in Idaho and most states it is $3.35 plus tips. In some places like resorts, hotels they will add 19% to your card if you stiff the staff and they do it after you leave. This is totally legal as long as it says it on your receipt.
if you have money to go to sweeden let alone be where you are in this video, you can afford to have some class. and i hope that "offends" you into becoming a more compassionate person to service industry workers
Betty Wentowski someone didn't understand the video.
do you tip the people at mcdonalds that hand you your food? That's essentially what they're arguing against here. I think his title is just worded poorly.
Oh no we have a triggered service industry worker.
If I was a police officer I'd give that woman a ticket for trying to multitask while driving.
I like how humble she is, like when she said maybe im missing something i basically puting an exclamation point on that its just her oppinion and she could be wrong even in her oppinion so in other words saying her oppinion isnt fact. im the same way, in a conversation i always emphasize its just my oppinion unlike some people who talk like their thoughts are fact and your wrong.
"I learn my lessons slow..." ZAP!!!!!! LOL =)
Here in Australia "Tipping" is extremely rarely expected. Instead we have small change Charity tins like Guide Dogs Training for the Blind and Christian/Church Tins for aid that they provide to the homeless etc. But your cashier will never ask you to make a donation. Most people are quite selective in which tin they donate to. I will nearly always throw my small change into those who are obviously active in the community in providing food and shelter for the less fortunate and homeless. At least I know its going to a good cause which shows they are being honest with their donations. I personalty deliberately steer clear of major Organization charity tins as some of them are rather suspect in how much really goes into helping people in need.
Good video guys, I follow your channel very regularly and I think this is the first time I have felt led to make a comment.
Thank You for all your hard work in bringing us very interesting content. God Bless and Take care. Skorp - Western Australia
Here in Florida servers earn less than $3 per hour. I find it heartless to begrudge a server a living wage when far easier jobs, like fire fighting or being a realtor, often pay far more. Up to 25% of a shift is sidework, rolling silverware to scrubbing the walk in coolers.
Thanks to our fantastic weather we have a lot of server jobs here. It's not easy but even a woman can make a living doing this work. Not many make enough to bring her and a couple of kids beyond the poverty level but that is way more than retail stores pay.
My point is that the 20% tip isn't optional. Less sends a statement of dissatisfaction. More is a complement. If you cannot afford the 20% you should have stayed home.
The iPad terminals and the tip screens on the registers were generally not the servers decision. I know, you thought the servers probably have the final say in these matters of corporate capitalization. Strangely though, no. These things, and the supervision of the kitchen staff, and the prices on the menu, none of this is the server's job.
I understand how difficult it is to have any respect for a person that cleans serves meals for a living. Even if they do so with a servant's heart, sharing bit of cheer and even some love and appreciation most of the time. Stay at home wives and mothers face the exact same image issues. Because they are simply an additional expense in the family budget their meager contributions should rightfully insult the men that provide their sustenance. Same with the server.
The big difference is that if you decide to withhold a wife's rightful share of the family riches, to force her to live at a lower level of comfort and well being than the breadwinner, well, the bread Baker might just take most of what the bread winner has in a divorce.
The server just doesn't get to buy her kid the new sneakers he needs or to sign him up for football or maybe she doesn't make enough that week to buy food and pay rent. Either, no skin off your nose. It's not like anybody important ever told us to love our neighbors just as much as we love ourselves. Go ahead and stiff her.
As for me though I had some faith issues that compelled me to make it a practice in my life to always treat others fairly, even generously, in any business dealings I have. This means that I tip 20% and a wee bit more. The 20% is the responsibility. The wee bit more is the expression of the love I feel for my neighbor bringing my food and drinks to my table.
I love to watch your videos but this one moved me to write. I hope my tongue in cheek attempts at humor won't insult you or detract from my message. The message is simply that showing exorbitant generosity to the least among us is also showering our best beloved with priceless treasure.
Peace and blessings to you and yours and thank you again for all the wonderful videos...
I'm not sure if this is any kind of help, but when I'm paying a business that uses the Square app and card reader, it usually has the option to tip "other." It's usually listed in this order: 10%, 15%, 20%, other, and it gives you the options to tip less than the suggested amounts, or even lets you choose not to tip anything if you feel it isn't warranted. I'm not sure how it works on other services, but I noticed you said you checked out on an iPad, so I could only assume it's the square app, seeing as it's usually the most common service that businesses seem to use.
Made my heart full to watch your family interact. Thanks for sharing.
Swam in that river as we were passing through the area on Friday! Crossed the border (remembering to drive on the left side of the road, of course) and drove the windy road along the K River, where we stopped to swim in the much chillier water as well. With temps in the mid-nineties, the rivers were a wonderful break.
The problem with adding the "tip" to the price, is that service then becomes dreadful. It's better if you tip voluntarily, that way the feedback to the person is immediate. In Costa Rica, the tip was added by law to the bill, and service went out the window.
In short, I tip for extra service, not for someone doing their job. Example, if I'm standing in line for a coffee and a sandwich, I ignore the tip jar. If I'm sitting down and having my food served to me, I tip. I also tip for food delivered to my home.
Mrs. W, I couldn't agree more! I've gotten to the point where when I see that, I'm more likely to click "No Tip". 25% for just running a register should require no tip.
Tips are for service...but most of the time they are not really giving you any real service.
(Tipping changed my life) I live in Central Florida and as you can imagine we get lots of transient people from all sorts of different societal backgrounds. I hear servers complain all the time about tips. Some people don't tip all because where they come from it's just an unheard of thing. Others tip very well. I used to fall in the middle. What changed my point of view was an interaction with a young lady when I was a young man. At the time I was a very faithful church member and wanted more than anything to reach out and share my faith. As I was speaking with her she quickly cut me off and said she didn't want to hear it basically. She then shared how she worked at a local restaurant and had several churches that frequented the place she worked at. She said, "church people are the worst. They come in, are super demanding, and when they leave there is a huge mess and VERY LITTLE tip. A lot of times they leave $3-$4 on a table of 10-12 and then have the nerve to leave a tract." She told me all this as she rolled her eyes. She lived in a trailer, drove a heap, and had lost her mother and her sister in the last year, and not once did any of those customers (some of whom knew her as it was a small town) as her how she was and if there was any way they could help. I was ashamed and apologized for their boorish behavior. I explained to her that "we aren't all like that". But there was nothing else I could do.... What I did do was change my attitude completely. Ever since, even when I get poor service I try to ask myself a simple question. Can I look past what is happening and see the person? Can I see what they may be going through? Maybe this young lady just lost her mother or a child and can't afford to take time off until she is done grieving. Maybe their car died and they don't have the money to fix it. I don't mean to sound Pollyanna here and I am NOT perfect. NOT BY A LONG SHOT. I don't attend church at the moment and have been through a lot over the last 24 years since that conversation... but I will never forget that lesson. It has opened so many opportunities to cheer people up and conversations where I have gotten to hear servers' stories. Guess what? I don't regret or miss a single dollar that I spent. I feel like (FOR ME) I have invested that money in people. I made a small difference in their life. It opens the door for the conversation with my son's to ask them to consider others and think about them and what they may be going through. When it's all said and done and we shuffle off this mortal coil, THAT is the thing we leave behind. All that said.... businesses shouldn't ask for tips for counter service. I agree.
That 15/20/25 percent progression is the default setup for a Square register. You can manually set the percentages in the Settings menu to whatever you like. I would venture a guess that the bakery turned Tipping to "on" and didn't bother to adjust the percentages. I'd have set them to 15/18/20 if it were my place. I have it turned off for my farm stand, because tipping at a farm stand would be ludicrous.
Mrs W you're not missing the point. I've studied tipping for decades. US businesses have become sneakier over the years and have fudged the tip on tip-charts and POS tablets so that they can continue to underpay their staff. If you simply purchase something and walk out, there was no extra service provided to you. We tip when sitting at a table when tables are well cleaned before we sit down, the staff is helpful in supporting the ordering process, when they bring out our orders to us and its still hot and correctly delivered, checking to make sure that we are happy with our orders, clearing the table quickly as we finish each plate and generally being supportive and congenial. In those cases its reasonable to give the staff a 15% tip. If for an extraordinary reason, and only is there is an extraordinary reason that they go above and beyond the call of duty then you can increase the tip to 20% and if they truly do many extraordinary things for you, going beyond simply taking your order and bringing your plates then you might consider 25% but this is rare and presupposes that they truly achieved the extraordinary.
If you simply go to a counter and order something off the menu, which is handed to you and you walk out then no tip has been earned since they did not go out of your way for you. Since we feel sorry for theses staff members we often drop whatever coins we receive in change from them, back into their tip jar, but it should not exceed placing a dollar bill in there (of course there are exceptions to every rule and if you placed a gigantic order or if they carried it to your car or if you made them jump through hoops with several custom orders then you could consider handing the person who toiled over you a few bucks (put it right in their hand).
The practice of setting the tip rate on the POS tablets is devious, sneaky, manipulative an non-binding. Simply don't pay any tip. Some of those terminals have a button that is labeled "Custom Tip". If that button exists then use it and give a modest tip. 25 cents to $1 is sufficient. If there is a particular staff member that is extraordinary and you do want to reward them then once a month tell them that you really appreciate how well they take care of you and put a nice cash tip into their hand as you look them in the eye and smile. Many places will divide the tips amongst all the staff (including the cooks who get paid much more than the cashier who gets paid the least of all the employees), this isn't fair if there is one or two specific persons who really take good care of you so make sure you take good care of them.
Our biggest problem is that these companies are not offering living wages to the staff, which should be criminal, so any time you have an opportunity to talk to the owners, complain that the staff is underpaid. Invariably they will moan and groan that consumer prices will go up, tel them that the staff is worth it and you're happy to pay the minimal amount it would take to offer these employees an heist, respectable and fair living wage.
You can also simply avoid places that don't offer their employees decent wages (we quietly ask the staff and find out how much they get paid). Then we go to places that treat their staff well. That might mean that some of those places toil go out of business, which makes sense because if they are cheating their employees then they are probably cheating you as well. As the cheaters go out of business, this allows the good places to the top (you'll see your favorite staff working their now).
We do have the ability to change the system if each one of us just puts in a little bit of effort.
And out that old belt in a plastic bag, and stick it with your spare tire.. Along with a cheap harbor freight pull bar and socket... And on alternators and starters, find a rebuild kit. They're extreamly easy to do. But while the kits are available at any of the big box auto parts (Advance, Auto Zone, etc..) in Mexico, they don't offer them here in the US. But they can still be found online. Found one for your truck for $33. But a little research would get that to under $20 if it were just the regulator or the brushes (Kit contains new bearings). And your OEM equipment is always the best you'll find parts wise..
I was married to a waitress and when the law changed that you pay taxes on the amount of sales instead of the tips received it took more money out of the hourly wages. For instance if you go a whole night with lousy tips you still pay taxes as if you got regurlar tips, at least in California. That may explain some part of it.
A wonderful warm family video. Thanks for sharing those precious and entertaining moments. You've got a great deal with your life brother!
Fun video! Loved the swimming, but really loved the footage while you were driving to the pool. You are so lucky to have such amazing views! Thanks for sharing that with us. Very enjoyable!
