Why American Tipping Culture Is Broken
(yewtu.be)
We're trying to reduce the numbers of hours a person has to work.
We talk about the end of paid work being mandatory for survival.

People that get tips should make at least minimum wage like everyone else. The employer should not get to pay less because someone gets a tip.
I always try to tip in cash. First so the person getting the tip can decide if they want to declare it as income. Second so it goes where I intend it to go.
20% is a good tip. More is not necessary.
I always decline tipping on the screens.
Never pre-tip. Tipping should always happen after service. You won't get a refund on that tip if the service is bad.
Edit: A word
Gentle request to still tip if you think service was bad. The employee could be having a bad day, something could be out of their hands, or even if they're just a shitty worker, they can be let go after enough fuck ups. Denying someone their tip because you think it was "bad service" is part of that bullshit master-slave dynamic. Normal employers can't deny wages if someone shows up and doesn't do the work - they have to be fired or sent home
I think a minimum tip is a great idea.
Maybe even just call it a service charge like other places in the world.
