Every reputable place I ever served at had front of house tip out the service staff.

Can we leave these shit memes by people who've never worked in the food industry (but get butthurt social conventions suggest you tip) and the resulting awful cavalcade of tired, predictable responses back on reddit?

That's your experience.

I have worked in very reputable places and none of that tip would reach the cooks. If we were lucky they would pay us a beer at the club later. I think it's regional though. I know in Quebec waiters won't share because the government assume they get 15% tip from everything bill and taxes them accordingly.

Doesn't sound very reputable. Sounds like a Buffalo Wild Wings.

I've been in the restaurant industry for over 15 years and the least I ever had to tip out to the kitchen was 2.5%. Never, did they not get tipped out.

Also, I'm not complaining, I love the back of house, but don't spread bullshit cause you had a bad go

I have worked at a Michelin one star and a two star and neither tipped the kitchen.

Your experiences sound great but they are not the norm that I experienced.
