‘Got a kick in the face knowing they could’ve had a 50% tip’: 20+ People share why they didn't tip their server

If you have ever worked in the service industry, then you know how important tipping is (at least, in the U.S.). For some, tipping is how they make the bulk of their income. Tipping used to be about giving a little extra to the server because they did such an excellent job. However, it has no transformed into a way a person makes their living. It's pretty whack, but that's just how it works in America right now. So it's difficult to traverse when or even if there is an actually appropriate time to not leave a tip. If you are unaware how restaurant dynamics work and you don't tip your server on an obviously very busy and stressful night, then you're probably entitled and lack the ability to have empathy. 

 

However, what if you actually get poor service for really no good reason? Like, the place was basically empty, and yet you can never find your server. And when you do, they're just in the corner texting or yapping with their coworkers, with no regards to do their job. Perhaps, that is an appropriate time to express your disappointment by not tipping. In fact, many employees in the service industry would even agree!
