STOP tipping wait staff, etc.!!!!!!!!
Give them a "gift" instead.

The month of April is a nightmare for anyone with a conscience, as we only have until “tax day” - which usually falls on April 15 - to give the taxman what he says he deserves. So if you pay taxes to Uncle Sam and you’re also aware you’re paying for mass murder in the Middle East and in U.S. streets due to the drug war, you should also feel sick to your stomach as you write that check.

To a restaurant customer, this may have served as enough incentive to remind his server that taxation is always immoral — but he didn’t stop there.

Last week, a customer at a Missouri restaurant gave the waitress a “personal gift” instead of a tip, writing the now popular line “Taxation is theft” in the tip section of the receipt

In a second note, the fiscally conscious customer added:
This is a gift, not a tip. It is not subject to federal or state income taxes.

Just tip CASH. That way there's no paper trail for the IRS to tax the server's tip. The server can claim some arbitrary amount (less than the real amount) for tax purposes.

Re: STOP tipping wait staff, etc.!!!!!!!!
Nice, Op. I wonder what the owners of the restaurant will say about that though. Also the busboys.

I don't think restaurants will go for it, seeing as how by law, if their staff doesn't make at least minimum wage in tips and base pay, they have to pay the difference.

I don't think the business owners will go for this.

Considering that most wait staff make well below minimum wage, how is your "gift" going to pay their bills?
I ALWAYS tip, and tip well.
I know what these people make and how shitty it can be when they do not get tipped.

Fuck tipping. There is no reason why a 100lb girl can walk out of a resturaunt with 300-500 cash for the work they do.

If

A host seats me and brings waters
A server gives menu
Bartender or barback runs drinks over
Server takes order
Food runner brings food
Bus boy cleabs food


Im not tipping you 20 percent of $100 for filling my drinks up and brining me the bill. Fucking cant stand the service industry and the entitlement it creates.

Re: STOP tipping wait staff, etc.!!!!!!!!
I think the tip should be added to the bill. $3 is good enough. If you serve 15 customers for the day. 3×15= 45. Now if you do this for 30 days. The waitress will make $1,350 in a month from serving customers. Do this for a year which is 12 months. The waitress will make $16,200 in a year. Now if you add $6 to the bill. And the waitress serves 15 people a day for 12 months. She will make about $30,000 a year. Now that isn't a lot of money. But how much does a waitress expect to make as a salary for their job? $100,000? People wake up! Anybody can do a waitress job except for the disable. But ssi disability gives them money for being disable.

The tip you give your server will be percent shared with the bar, host, and bussing staff.
3 to 6 percent of sales will be kicked back in this way. If you dont tip your waitress, youre robbing her.

The libertarian move was clever, but the server will be taxed against sales anyway, so no win.

Re: STOP tipping wait staff, etc.!!!!!!!!
I knew a chick who was complaining that no one was tipping her at her job. And she kept complaining to her boss that she wasn't getting pay. She said a bunch of kids she was serving didn't like to tip. But she told me she makes $30,000 a year from Applebee and she has a second job cleaning motels/ houses. I knew her as a roomie. Over the winter time she started drinking and getting high every night. She liked to smoke weed. And I told her maybe as helpful advice to try to keep a budget. And she gave me a strange look. She said she has a job and money. She don't need to keep a budget of anything. This was in Toms River, NJ. And the servers get pay better money in the North Eastern States like NJ and NY.

While servers can make a decent wage, they don't leave with 100% of their tips. They have to claim 15% of their sales as their (non-cash) tips and this amount is still taxed from their hourly wage paycheck ($5/hr in my state).

Cash tips arent taxed, but as a poster below noted, the server tips out their bartender, busser, food runners, and sometimes the hosts and cooks.

Stop tipping bad service.

This. Its your own fault if you rely on tips. I tip..but if the service sucks , and most of the time it does, gonna be around 5%. This is also why food trucks are better. Tips go strait to people making the food you want, not some liberal arts major that feels they deserve $20 + to fill up cups. I Cant wait for more automated service.

What it really boils down to is that if the servers know that they're always going to receive ~15% then what is their incentive to do a good job? The thought they may receive more? So, following that logic, now the benchmark is for me to tip greater than 15% just to get someone to do their job? It's absurd.

If the restaurant is that worried about the wellbeing of their servers then automatically add gratuity to the bill! They won't do that most of the time and you want to know why? Because they want you to tip more!

No thanks. Im not paying that much for taking an order, filling a cup, and carrying a plate.

advice to OP: You can never return somewhere after failing to tip properly. If you don't know this you are a tard and deserve exactly what you get. Most places would refuse to serve you after getting away with this one time. Even worse, for OP would be if they were allowed to return. You are literally stealing from your server when you don't tip properly and paybacks are to be expected.
