Picture this: you’ve just enjoyed a delightful meal at a cozy restaurant, savoring every bite of the delicious cuisine. As you prepare to leave, a familiar dilemma arises: how much should you tip your server? While tipping has become a customary practice in many parts of the world, its significance often goes unnoticed or under appreciated.
However, behind this seemingly mundane act lies a profound impact on the lives of those who tirelessly cater to our dining needs. In this post, we delve into the reasons why tipping your servers is not only a courteous gesture but an essential means of support and gratitude for their hard work.
Recently, TikTok creator Alyssa (@alyssr) shared a video on this very topic.
“Last night I was serving this group of people and they came in, ordered beers, appetizers, drinks, you know, the whole nine yards. All separate bills. No problem.”
“A girl had asked me to put all alcoholic drinks on one tab, all the food separate, no problem. As I’m billing them out I noticed no one’s tipping me. I had to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they’ll leave cash. Maybe the girl who took all the drinks will cover the tip. No one tipped me.”
