A customer took to Reddit to share an incident with a server, who he claims shamed him for not tipping more.
In a popular subreddit,r/EndTipping,a poster took to the platform to share an incident that took place with wait staff.
The OP apparently visited a bar that he was a regular at, and proceeded to order a beer.
“Lmao. (I) went to a bar that I’m a regular at for the first time in three months and all the bartender had to say was, ‘you never tip us anymore.’”
“I was like “you want $2 that bad, you that broke?”

People weigh in on tipping situation
After the post went live onthe platform,many were eager to weigh in on the whole situation. Many commenters sided with the poster, writing:
“The sense of entitlement to free money from these people is off the charts. My brother’s old roommate was a bartender, made loads of cash working 12-16 hours a week, and was the biggest freeloader I ever met.
“So glad I moved to a country where if a bartender even mentions not tipping, nobody would go to that bar anymore.”
“It’s not even about being cheap. I don’t see the need to tip $1-2 lmao. What is even the point of that? I’ll tip for a sit down meal at a restaurant,” another wrote.
One suggested that the waiter was trying to be friendly with their request: “Tips are a dollar a drink. But maybe he was just trying to bust your balls in a friendly way.”
“If that’s the case they can write that in the menu: ‘$1 service fee per drink’ otherwise tips, by definition, are optional,” the OP clapped back.
Another customer went viral, afterthey claimed a pizza worker purposefully burnt their order when they didn’t tip.
