TikToker sparks debate after not being served at restaurant due to lack of tips TIKTOK: buelisticA TikToker shared that she was not being served at a restaurant because of not tipping in the past, sparking debate. Content creator buelistic went viral after responding to a TikToker who stated that \u201cnobody is obligated to tip.\u201d In her video, which has over 757,000 views, she agreed, and shared a personal story which has sparked a debate around tipping. As a tattoo artist, buelistic said she encourages all her clients to tip tattoo artists, but she acknowledges that it\u2019s not a requirement. The content creator then shared how she and her friends were denied service at a restaurant due to not previously tipping. \u201cSo yesterday I went to a restaurant with somebody that I love, and we decided that this time we would turn our duo into a trio and we invited one of our friends,\u201d she began. \u201cWhen we sat at the table, none of the servers showed up and one of the managers came by and told us that they would not like to serve us anymore.\u201d According to the TikToker, the manager\u2019s reason for not serving them was because of tipping. She clarified that as a tattoo artist she makes sure she tips everywhere she goes, but her friends may not always do that or \u201chave the finances to do so.\u201d \u201cBut do you feel like this is a good enough reason to deny service to somebody for the rest of their life if it\u2019s based off of tips and the service isn\u2019t always up to par?\u201d she asked her viewers. TikToker sparks debate around tipping TikTok users were divided on the topic, but many believe that tipping is a choice, and not an obligation. \u201cTipping is not an obligation, that is my choice to tip or not based on service that I was provided,\u201d one user commented. \u201cNot an obligation so it should not be frowned upon if you do or don\u2019t tip (especially if they start including the tip in the check,)\u201d another user wrote. Others slammed customers who do not tip. \u201cBut I do think NOT tipping when it comes to wait staff is tacky. If you don\u2019t have money to tip stay home,\u201d one user commented. \u201cIf the service isn\u2019t up to par.. why come back? Yeah I\u2019ve banned people who don\u2019t tip,\u201d another one shared. Some users shifted the blame to restaurants and the service industry in general. \u201cIt\u2019s not on us as the customers to get dogged out because their employers don\u2019t pay them a proper wage,\u201d one user argued, prompting the TikToker to agree with them. \u201cServers should not need to rely on tips, but the reality is establishments incorporate it into their pay\u2026 so sometimes base wage is $2\/hr,\u201d someone else shared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
