Answers:
They dont have any money to tip.only for drink!
i dont think they do no to b honest. but i dont believe in tips iv worked since i left school but i dont tip. no 1 tips me at work!
This is very odd as a lot of people working in jobs in which they might be expected to be tipped, are students!
Are you American?
It's not often a tip is expected in the UK. I found it very annoying in the US. To me a tip should be an extra if I found the service to be excellent and not a requirement.
Because their tuition fees are so high!
tipping is based on willingness from the heart. You cannot blame anyone who doesn't, moreover those who do not yet have their own earnings.
They can't afford to after they have spent their university fees on beer and takeouts.
I work in admin, so not a hughly paid job (as for waiters/hairdressers/cab drivers(?) etc) and I don't get tipped in my work, so why should I tip other people for doing a job that they are already getting paid for?
Why should some people get tips for doing their jobs when most others don't? Stop being so greedy. If you don't make enough without tips, get a better paying job.
Tipping is a rip off.
If I get good service, I will give a tip.I dont expect to have to tip for any, and every, occasion just because the restaurant wont pay a decent wage.
I cant count the number of times that I have been in some business (mainly in the USA) and had mediocre service (even bad service) and *still* been expected to tip.
On one occasion I heard a waitress refer to the 'stupid bastard' in the corner (after I had complained about an incorrect drink order). after an evening of sub-standard service, I left Zero tip.. and as I left I heard the waitress talking about lousy tight-wad english bastards.
I know what its like to be a student, and I know what it's like to work in low paid jobs.. but tipping is a reward, not a right
Prehaps they know how to tip but are sufficiently hard up for money that they would rather not. The student lifestyle usually involves less money than the job they'd be tipping.
After studying archaeology at university for 5 years, I am now £20,000 in debt. This debt has arisen from tuition fees, books, equipment and essential living expenses. If I had a choice of spending money on tipping someone, or paying my tuition fees, which do you think I would prefer to do? In any case, tipping is only optional in the UK and rarely done in the 21st century.
It's not just students! There are a lot of people with plenty of money to burn who are big tight wads too!
Those who can't afford to tip or who believe they shouldn't have to, should just go grocery shopping and do all the work themselves!!
They are cheap AND lazy!!
I suppose the answer depends on you and where you live n work.
Here, in the UK, students are 'cheap' as you term it, because generally (by the law of averages) they are pretty-well dirt poor, and having the ability to pay for 'service' is not an option open to them.
But then, I deeply resent having to 'pay for Service' as if the person doing what they are paid to do, expects money from me for doing so. This is an on-off argument that has been going on here for some years.
If I go to a restaurant, then I, in effect, have a contract with the restaurant for food at a table. I do not have a sub-contract with a waiter or waitress to deliver it.
As far as I am concerned, the waiter / waitress works for the restaurant and is paid to do what they do ..on behalf of the restaurant.
If I were an undertaker, would you pay a tip for a Service you had contracted for? .and I can think of a number of other examples to continue this argument.
