<\/p>\nIf there\u2019s one thing we know about the world around us, it\u2019s the fact that people love to debate. They will debate about almost anything, and although they don\u2019t usually change people\u2019s minds, they will continue to give their opinions.<\/p>\n
One of the things that often gets a debate going, especially when it is shared online, is the subject of tipping at a restaurant. Some people love it and others hate it, but people certainly do have strong opinions in one way or another.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A server recently got this type of conversation going on social media with a video that was recently removed. She made the statement that if people were willing to go out to a full-service restaurant but weren\u2019t interested in leaving tips, they shouldn\u2019t be there.<\/p>\n
Most people understand that tipping is important for the people who serve us at restaurants. They don\u2019t get the pay they deserve for what they do, and the restaurants expect us to make it up in the form of a tip.<\/p>\n
This is understood and whether we like the situation or not, it\u2019s a simple fact of life.<\/p>\n
Of course, it isn\u2019t only whether we tip or not, it\u2019s also the amount of tip that we leave that often gets the debate going. Many people feel that anywhere from 15-20% is a standard tip but others say that if you don\u2019t tip at least 20%, you aren\u2019t tipping enough.<\/p>\n

This is where Lily comes in. She said that if you can\u2019t afford to tip the server, you don\u2019t deserve to eat at a restaurant.<\/p>\n
She starts the video by looking into the camera and saying that eating out is a privilege and not a right. She said that if you can\u2019t afford to tip at least 20%, you should eat at home.<\/p>\n
She talks about the debate involved with the tipping culture in the United States. Some people feel that restaurants should pay the food service employees differently, but that isn\u2019t the reality of the world where we live.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cYou can b**ch and moan and tell me that my employer should be paying me a higher wage all you want, but this is America, and that\u2019s not what is happening, OK? I get paid $3.63 from the restaurant that I work at. My earnings, my wage, comes from tips.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then reveals that the menu prices at the restaurant are set to a lower amount so that tips can be left.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe food is cheaper because you\u2019re expected to tip on it,\u201d she said. \u201cYou don\u2019t deserve to eat out if you cannot afford to tip.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLike, it\u2019s the same thing with a nanny. If you can\u2019t afford to pay somebody else an entire salary, you don\u2019t deserve a nanny.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then said that you don\u2019t deserve to eat out and you should order your meal to go or go to McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t stop there, she continued to express how annoyed she was in the caption of the video. She wrote: \u201cAnd to anyone who says we should be getting paid a higher hourly\u2026. Okay??? BUT WE AREN\u2019T. You not tipping is just going to make your eating out experience WORSE!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
There were many people who agreed with what she said but others came on to let her know that if she didn\u2019t like it, she should find another job.<\/p>\n
I guess this is a debate that will continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
