A South African man got grilled on Twitter after sharing a picture of his R555 bill, which also revealed he tipped the waiter R15.
‘I’M NOT FORCED TO TIP’
Tweeps dragged the man with the handle @ziphorator after his bill showed he paid R555 for his favourite meal and tipped the waiter R15.
South Africans were bothered by the tip when he shared the bill on social media and didn’t notice the price of the prawns.
Tweeps were also bothered by the man when he tried to defend himself by adding that tipping isn’t mandatory in South Africa and that it’s his money.
Briefly News contacted the man in the hot seat to see why he felt R15 was an adequate tip.
He was first asked if he had been a waiter himself, and he revealed that he had and that even when he was earning a mere R50 an hour, he didn’t worry about what people tipped as he knew it was their money and had no control over it.
“Back in 2011, I earned R50 per day at Mac Banana restaurant. I didn’t care if I got tips or not. It was their money, anyway.”
TWEEPS REACT TO HIS BILL
@EFannick:
“That’s why they give you bad service…How do expect somebody to make a living with a tip of less than a dollar.”
@bravoe136:
“Why would you under-tip a waiter? You ate for 500 and you left 15 Rand tip ”
@CMan_Witbfl_Bal:
“You don’t want to waste your money on a tip ”
@bravoe136 :
“Yes you got service, you didn’t cook, serve or wash the dishes yourself. Also, those waiters that look after you don’t earn a salary.”
@MichaelMolefi4:
“Fun fact: white ppl are better tippers than black ppl, they appreciate great service. I remember when I was a waiter we would fight to serve white ppl and run from helping black people.”
@Bongsoft:
“Do you think that’s maybe one of the reasons why one would tip less? People do notice when they are being avoided. And that’s not a great feeling, especially where you’re spending your money.”
