List the ones who are not socialized

Yes, it's part of the job. But you're making it sound like there's absolutely nothing wrong about what she did, which couldn't be further from the truth.

LMAO

According to Fox News, the entire world is socialized except the USA. So, I have no answer for you.

I try always to tip, when I can, having been a pizza delivery guy for 7 years.
No one owes you a tip though. That's a bonus.

That server should be walked.
This is disrespectful. You're in no place to tell this woman how she ought to spend her money. And taking this photo and making it available online? Even worse...

Lord have mercy... Son, you just ****ing shit your pants when called on the carpet.... Now go sit the **** in the corner

Sure, and represents less than 0.1% of the median annual income for individuals in the US. Totally worth throwing a temper tantrum for!

Clearly this waiter's life is pretty good if getting stiffed on one bill is this traumatic for them.

Is Honduras socialized? The **** if I know. I just know they have cheap food and efficient waiters that don't bother you with small talk.

I hope you get special wonton soup when you come back

Servers pay taxes on tips whether they receive them or not. There's an assumption that they're receiving them, and Uncle Sam is getting his cut.

Eh, the pizza guy is one of those gray area deals. He's not checking on you regularly making sure you have drinks, etc. I usually flip them a buck or two but I don't have a problem with anyone who doesn't tip them.

Is Australia "socialised", according to the current CP definition?

I live in Germany nearly 20 years ago and their system has ALWAYS been this way. There's no baseline with a tip-based system to say prices have "doubled" against. You simply cannot say "their prices haven't doubled".

American economic history suggests that us changing from a tip-based system to a tipless system would lead to increases restaurant prices pretty much across the board.

Of course, the cop out argument. The simple fact is, if everybody in my market employed a tip-less model, ALL places would be more expensive and therefore we would eventually run out of cost-effective places to eat out.

At that point, it becomes my choice to stay home and eat, right? Well that was the ORIGINAL POINT OF THE THREAD.

Exactly.

Yep. If you don't tip good service, you're just cheap.

No I'm not. I haven't made even one comment that could be construed as supporting the person that stiffer the waiter.

My premise is that the waiter is a loser for whining about this and posting it on the internet like he was so horrifically wronged. Take a step back, realize it is about $20, and go on with life.

Probably.
