International fans visiting the US for the World Cup have become frustrated by the culture of having to tip servers, telling the BBC that tipping fatigue has set in.
15% for a good job, 10% for a mediocre job, 5% for anything below
I maybe make a 10% bonus if my department absolutely smashes sales numbers… i cant imagine getting 15% for doing my job normally (i consider doing a “good job” to be my normal output) or even getting 5% for doing “below” mediocre…
In fact, in most jobs, doing below mediocre work usually gets you fired, not bonuses
But also, i dont want to make this about “X type worker shouldnt make more than Y type worker”… servers should be paid whatever they get paid. Just dont put the burden on the customer… i dont care if they make more than me, or my CEO or whatever… just dont hassle me with the tipping decision.
a lot of that kind of “servers make more than X” discourse ends up belittling one worker with “unskilled labour” terminology. I dont believe in anything called unskilled labour.

Yes, I’m aware. Workers in certain restaurants make quite a lot, even more than some engineers with degrees I know.
