How I became anti-tip…

So you know how I became against tipping? I went out to a restaurant with a party of 8 people. And when the check came it specifically said on the check “parties over 6 will have an 18% tip added automatically.” Ok. Fine I thought. No one wants to serve a large party and then get stuffed. So I paid the bill. As we were leaving the manage chases me and says “you didn’t take care of your server?!” “No. You added an 18% tip the bill already.” “Oh yeah. I know the check says that, but she forgot to add that into the POS system. So we need you to add it.” “You know what? You cover it. You took responsibility for the tip when you put that in the check. You pay it.”

After that I started paying attention to how obnoxious asking for tips has become. Maybe some people deserve it, but a few bad apples ruined it for everyone now.

What’s your story that made you anti tip?
