A word of caution, if you ever worked in the service industry, then this is going to really upset you. If you're trying to not feel like punching through your screen, maybe skip this?… TikToker @user729192738 is a young girl serving at a bar restaurant. The place does not have any sort of auto gratuity for large parties, and she says that's mostly due to the format of the setup—it's more like a bar, with bar games, etc., than a restaurant, so many people have their own checks, etc. So it's difficult to figure out large party's gratuity. Everyone who has worked in the service industry knows that's some serious BS, but let's get into her story.
She came into work one day, a 7-hour shift, and was told she would be serving a party of 60 people. Since it was just her waiting on 60 people, that was the only table she had. They stayed for her entire shift and she was excited to see how much money in tips she made after working so hard. To her utter disbelief and shock, nobody left a tip—not even a couple dollars on the table. Every server knows that feeling of seeing no tip and the wind just gets knocked out of you. You basically just worked for free and some might even have to PAY to work, if they have to pay out the bar.
The TikToker posted her story and it instantly went viral. Most people were shocked that her restaurant didn't do auto gratuity, but most viewers were servers and able to relate to that horrible feeling. However, evil commenters who have obviously never worked in the service industry or are privileged enough to have other job options, decided they needed to add their opinions about tipping and it will make anyone who's worked in the service industry groan. Can you believe there are still people out there saying they won't leave any tip if there was just ONE little slip up. You forgot the side of ketchup? That's it, you don't deserve to make any money off of this 7 hour /$300+ check. It's so messed up!
But don't worry, many of these ignorant commenters taking the side of the non-tippers are getting put into their place by other commenters who most likely have worked in the service industry before and have a lot more experience in the matter.
