Reply To: Tipping Waiters/Waitresses Properly

Tipping is not optional if it causes a chillul Hashem & unless you tip the waiter/waitress at least 15-20% it a chillul Hashem if they are not Jewish. I myself think Waiter/Waitress Service is silly as we are not babies & can bring the food to table ourselves but if you patronize a place that offers this service it’s a chillul Hashem not to tip at least 15-20% & if you can’t afford to tip them order the food for pickup & take it home or don’t patronize that establishment
