    wsc reacted to Beancounter in Mandatory Gratutity - Am I being unreasonable?   
    I am a fairly decent tipper, 20% in most instances.  Call me a curmudgeon, though, when it comes to cash tipping so the individual receiving the tip can avoid paying income and other taxes.  In some professions individuals can shield thousands of dollars of income from taxes while people who play by the rules pay their fair share.  Granted, not all employees who depend on tips are getting thousands of dollars in tips but a large number of individuals do circumvent the tax laws.  When given the option to work for an hourly rate or a low base rate plus tips, a survey showed most employees want the low base rate plus tips.  I wonder why. 😉 
     
    This type of employee is only hurting himself.  While the non-taxed cash provides immediate gratification his social security benefit will be reduced in the future due to his not reporting cash tips.  And then he wonders why his SS benefit is so low.  I could go on and on about this topic but I’ll leave it here.  Bring on the naysayers.

    Not at all unreasonable, in my opinion, and their practice is insulting to me as a customer.
    Not only would I tell them I won't be back, but also that I am deducting their 18% tip and signing both their copy and mine showing the reduced amount, with photos showing date and time of the photos. And I would make sure my bank is aware and knows not to process the ticket for any other amount the business presents. Then I'd give my server a $20 bill for his/her tip; I want to f*ck the business, not the servers. BTW, I doubt the business would miss me, and I know I wouldn't miss them.

    Did similarly with my niece and nephew for HS & her college.  Fortunately, their grandfather died and left them both a decent chunk of change a few years ago, so (since I just lost my part-time job & have to get by on disability) I had no problem giving my nephew a hug in lieu of cash last week when he graduated college (with a degree in cannabis management... just what my sister had dreamed of when he was a baby).
    It was his own fault he missed out on the gift she got...  he's 3 1/2 years older, but took 10 years to graduate... partly due to cannabis, ironically...

    I think it's well established that providers like this young man live in a different space-time continuum then do the rest of us mere mortals. We are us and they have portraits in the attic to keep them forever young.😉

    Claustrophobia is the fear of closed spaces.
    For example, I'm on my way to the liquor store and I'm scared it will be closed.
