Was this Buffalo Wild Wings customer right not to tip?

Tipping culture is a hot topic on social media. Some netizens argue that customers should tip regardless of the quality of service, while others believe that a tip should be based on the level of service they receive.

TikTok user Madyson (@maddsepulveda20) recently dined at Buffalo Wild Wings and posted a video that placed her in the latter camp — and the majority of her viewers seemed to agree that if a server at a restaurant can’t provide basic service, it should. I don’t expect a tip.

The TikToker explains her feelings in the blurb of her post, which reads: “POV: All these servers are complaining about people not tipping them after we just went to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings and that we gave them $0 because she couldn’t even get us another drink like we asked 4 times…but then cry you didn’t get a tip.

Madyson also said of the waiter in the caption: “So you have an attitude because we reminded you again!! »

To tip or not to tip?

Although servers earn the majority of their salaries from tips, a Pew Research Center study indicates that most Americans believe tipping is expected in more places today than five years ago. This “tipflation” has given rise to a negative view of the practice, as pressure to tip continues to increase.

Madyson’s video, which received 586,000 views as of Monday, reflects how some customers object to tipping when they don’t receive satisfactory service, and viewers shared their thoughts in the comments.

“I tip based on your energy and my experience, not because your job doesn’t pay you enough,” one person wrote.

“Totally agree! They get tipped based on their service!” said another, adding: “We had a GREAT waiter the other night at a Mexican restaurant and we tipped him $30 just right. because!”

A number of users working in the service industry also expressed their agreement with Madyson.

“As a server, I notify BASED of the service. There were times when we were very busy and I knew when I wouldn’t get a good tip because I knew I hadn’t paid enough attention. Everything depends on you ! they say.

“I only complain when I KNOW I’ve provided excellent service… when I know I’m slacking, I’m not angry, I’m just like valid,” wrote another.
