One commenter pointed this out when folks expressed confusion about Americans’ compulsory tipping. “Y’all do realize tipping is expected in North America [because] we literally get paid LESS than minimum wage BECAUSE tipping is a thing?”
Though the original poster had several defenders, some folks were also making value judgments on her response to the rude customers.
Commenters critiqued her “attitude,” even suggesting that her service was likely subpar and she didn’t deserve a tip. When the comments section got particularly nasty, she reminded folks that the restaurant industry often fails to prioritize its workers’ best interests.
But some folks suggested solutions for the pervading issue. “By the looks of these comments the US just needs to put a mandatory service fee of 20% on bills and pay servers more. Y’all are broke and stingy.”
And one person said what many might have been thinking; “if you don’t have the money to tip, don’t eat out.”
It also doesn’t make much sense for a diner to hit on his server if he doesn’t care to support her work. Hopefully, he’s learned his lesson from this interaction!
