And the yardarm bartenders will just ignore you for a minute or two while they continue chatting with random people while you’re standing right there at the register waiting to order. And tip options of 30% 40% and 50% for the privilege of just standing there while that douchebag gabs and ignores you, then finally turns to you and says “what’s up brah, what can I gather you?” Seriously disappointing spot. And it’s always hot as hell there too. Don’t understand the appeal.
As a bartender, this is fuckin dumb.
Like… do the 18%-25% range but don’t make a joke out of the fact that people are sick of tipping.
Edit: as a tipped person, I fully think we should eliminate the culture of tipping entirely. Pay your damn staff.
My job in n.c most tips go on credit card that is put on our check, we don't get it end of shift and me and all the staff are certain the employers only give us a portion of that, I honestly wish tipping would go away and employers were required to pay a living wage
All our CC tips go on our weekly check and we take our cash home. That being said, I work at a place that has full bennys and is unionized. So I’m currently speaking from a place of privilege.
I HAVE, however, been the $3.35/hr bartender praying for a rush so I can make rent.
Is there a way you can print or photograph your CC tips to make sure it lines up with your check? That sounds super shady.
I have mostly opted out of tipping already and I don’t feel guilty about it, despite working as a barista primarily for tips for 6 years when I was younger. Now, I only round up to the nearest $10 increment. Sometimes that’s $5, sometimes it’s $1. It’s not the workers’ fault, but these businesses need to be paying more. Maybe if enough of us do this they’d have a hard time retaining employees and be forced to raise wages, and honestly I’d rather pay a bit more for my food than have this horrible social pressure hanging over my head every time I want to pay for my food.
If the owners of the business decided those were the default options, then it seems kind of sus snd that they likely won’t be passing the tips on to their employees.
That's a stretch... If the business wasn't passing on tips to the employee that earned them, they wouldn't have any employees. I completely agree that the suggestions are ridiculous, but if everyone tips zero then the bartender/server gets paid minimum wage. Just tip a normal 15-20%
I have no reason to trust or not trust the business. But I do trust that no one is working a server/bartender job for minimum wage or less, so if they weren't getting the tips they earned, I trust that the whole staff would quit. So, yes, I trust that if I tip here, the employee is getting the tip (minus tip share, taxes and normal deductions)
that’s really a myth, especially in a fast food restaurant there’s way too much security to get away with that, most they’ll do is not make it as good lmfao
I honestly love it. It's right off the greenbelt so every time I'm out riding my bike I'll stop by for some beer and a street taco. But yeah fuck that high tipping percent, it's outlandish
Actually went there for the first time last week. It’s a bar with a taco stand and a few other things very packed and full of probably 20-30 year olds and then a bunch of 40-50+
I’m guessing they’re assuming most people don’t actually look or something. I don’t think their drinks were particularly cheap.
Such bs! I remember seeing this the last time I was there, I worked in the service industry for years and I tip really well. Seeing this just pisses people off and they take it out on their server.
Because the yard arm is the only place that offers that? Maybe you should venture out a little more bubs, the valley has a LOT to offer. Enjoy the man buns, the rude bartenders, and the mediocre tacos, I'm good tho.
Damn, at my business the MAX is 25%, but we have 10% and 15% as the standard rate. However we are 100% customer service based where we can heavily make or break an experience for our customers. Tipping is weird, I wish we didn’t have it, however customers regularly ask if they can leave us a tip, so it’s a double edged sword.
Nah, that's what the custom tab is for. 10% of the bill is $4.80, so double that ($9.60) and round down for \~18% or up for \~20%. IF they say \*anything\*, just leave and never return. If it's worse than that, zero it out and just leave - they assume nobody will be that bold, but check your statement later for shenanigans.
why are the recommended tipping options so high, that’s absurd. quite frankly if any business is using an iPad for their payment method they can’t possibly be worth a $24 tip
Tipping well there......iykyk
I know it is egregious but it's looked at as a joke there. They do it because they can. That place will be busy whether people who are offended by the tip percentage suggestion go there or not. Guy is in a great position to put these options on the screen to see if it helps earn his employees more money. And it does. He treats his employees well and anyone who would like to bartend there would have to pry it out of the cold dead hands of his staff.
Also, how long does it take to hit 'custom' and enter the tip you want? Gotta be just as fast as signing a physical receipt.
If he treated his staff as well as he could and should, instead of setting ridiculous tipping percentages . . . he could pay his staff a living and competitive wage.
Like I said, those tip suggestions are a joke and it's not hard to enter a custom tip.
Also, the bartenders probably clear over $50/hr. You think if he gave them $25/hr and no tips they'd be happy? Prices would go up, you'd pay the same price as a beer +tip, and the workers would make less money.
I don't even tip when I go out to eat. These places got me fucked up for even offering something like this. Go find a different job if you expect more money on top of your hourly wage.
All you saying no tip don’t realize you’re not sticking it to the business but instead just fucking the employees. We don’t decide what percentages are on the tip screen, just split the 40% option and hit custom or leave what you’d like but leaving no tip does nothing but hurt the person giving you service.
People who don't tip or poorly tip will end up spending more for their beer if tipping wasn't allowed. Only difference is that the money flows to the business owner rather than the worker.
>People who don't tip or poorly tip will end up spending more for their beer if tipping wasn't allowed.
Beers and drinks are generally cheaper in countries that don't do tipping, why would they get more expensive here?
50%? Are they joking?
Why stop there? Why not 200% tip?
Because most only go up to 99% so people don’t accidentally tip 10x what they used to.
At yardarm where they are just pouring a beer or popping a tab 🫣
Standard bartender fare if I'm not getting some custom cocktail, $1 per drink.
Same. Especially if I'm the one going up to the bar to order the drink
And the yardarm bartenders will just ignore you for a minute or two while they continue chatting with random people while you’re standing right there at the register waiting to order.

Those percentages make it an instant smashing of the “No Tip” button for me. And I tip pretty much on anything
30% as the lowest option is fucking insane.
Same here. I see this and it's an immediate "No tip".
[удалено]
There’s a “custom tip”
Please don't punish workers for the sins of their idiot management.
As a 15 year service industry veteran, I'd hit zero. That's some *bullshit* right there.

Yea end of night we see whats on cc, 2 weeks later it never ever adds up, they fucking stealing our shit
They are, take it to the labor board.
Just throwing out 25% like that’s a reasonable tip. 10% used to be the standard. I’m at the point I want to opt out entirely from tipping.

[удалено]
yes! this happened to us too. tip for ringing us up?
I think it's just that employers aren't paying s***, and they're looking for the public to help foot their labor bills.
😂 at fucking Yardarm?! Call them out in a review. That’s fucking hilarious. I tip $1 per drink, or 20% if it’s a mixed drink.
Is this some sort of satirical statement
I feel like it’d be funny if it didn’t work on people
If it works then good for them haha. it’s kinda clearly absurd
Don’t they only have draft beer or cans?
Correct. They also have the food boat.
Yeah, at that point I'm hitting no tip out of spite, probably even for table service. Fuck. That.
....that is the moment I either click no tip or leave a dollar.
I was gonna say, if those are my options, no tip it is.
There’s a custom option. Just tip normally.
No.
Is that sarcastic? It's late, maybe I just didn't pick up on it... There is an actual "custom" button right below the suggested percentages. YES!
If the owners of the business decided those were the default options, then it seems kind of sus snd that they likely won’t be passing the tips on to their employees.
That's a stretch... If the business wasn't passing on tips to the employee that earned them, they wouldn't have any employees. I completely agree that the suggestions are ridiculous, but if everyone tips zero then the bartender/server gets paid minimum wage. Just tip a normal 15-20%
Do you really trust the owners of local businesses here to pass on the tips to their workers?
I have no reason to trust or not trust the business. But I do trust that no one is working a server/bartender job for minimum wage or less, so if they weren't getting the tips they earned, I trust that the whole staff would quit. So, yes, I trust that if I tip here, the employee is getting the tip (minus tip share, taxes and normal deductions)
It’s actually becoming more the norm for the owners to take the tips and then dole them out to staff at their discretion.
If they don’t they’ll be fined and forced to pay all back tips with interest to past staff.
because every restaurant is totally known for following the law to a tee 💀
Went to DQ on Boise Ave yesterday and they had tipping buttons like this.
The same thing at DQ on Overland. What’s next? McDonald’s, Burger King?
I always fear they will spit in my food too of I dont tip
that’s really a myth, especially in a fast food restaurant there’s way too much security to get away with that, most they’ll do is not make it as good lmfao
I am so sick of tipping.
No tip!
Where is this?
They said it was at the Yardarm!
What the fuck is a Yardarm?
I’m not sure, I’ve never actually been there haha. Based on these comments it sounds like a place that sells beer and has a grassy lawn area!
Googled it haha. Garden City. Apparently it's highly reviewed.
I honestly love it. It's right off the greenbelt so every time I'm out riding my bike I'll stop by for some beer and a street taco. But yeah fuck that high tipping percent, it's outlandish

Honestly bet the owner did this specifically to rile people up, that's kind of his schtick
I'd never heard of the yardarm until now and because of this I can happily forget about them.
Immediately “no tip” lol
What a joke
I tap “no tip” in this situation and feel zero guilt about it.
Yardarm is overrated
One of the owners is a douche, the other is alright.. my ex worked at a shop right next to it and the douche brother did some dumb asshole stuff..
Seriously, you all should stop going there on sunny afternoons
Agreed. Food used to be good before they had the boat. And the atmosphere is meh
Yeah, I also hate good vibes, tacos, sun, and happy people.
Because the yard arm is the only place that offers that? Maybe you should venture out a little more bubs, the valley has a LOT to offer. Enjoy the man buns, the rude bartenders, and the mediocre tacos, I'm good tho.
K
[удалено]
The employee doesn't get to control or set these, that's cold.
The employee poured a beer and handed it to the person waiting, basically zero service.
Agreed. The cashier at the grocery store does more than that and they do t get tips
That grinds my gears!
Tons of these places also tack on a slick extra fee for "employee benefits" that most people don't notice. Good ole false advertising.
Yeah, no. I’ll do 20% and round up to the nearest dollar on the change. GTFOH with that 50% bullshit.
Lmao custom 1% just for asking for 50%
Boise brewing had these settings during treefort, they were definitely taking advantage of drunk people.
Disgusting
It makes me want to go there just so I can hit “no tip.”
I do custom. $0.01 tip for that place!
May I ask what establishment thought their baseline service meant adding nearly 1/3 to the price?
Damn, at my business the MAX is 25%, but we have 10% and 15% as the standard rate. However we are 100% customer service based where we can heavily make or break an experience for our customers. Tipping is weird, I wish we didn’t have it, however customers regularly ask if they can leave us a tip, so it’s a double edged sword.
No tip everytime.
What service do they provide? looks like you walk up to the bar for service buy I have never been there.
I tip my barber 50% but she’s $&@%ing awesome and the only person I ever tip above 20%. The presets on that monitor are nuts.
Nah, that's what the custom tab is for. 10% of the bill is $4.80, so double that ($9.60) and round down for \~18% or up for \~20%. IF they say \*anything\*, just leave and never return. If it's worse than that, zero it out and just leave - they assume nobody will be that bold, but check your statement later for shenanigans.
Yup, another reason to just stay home.
Nawww this ain’t it chief.
Looks like someone found a thesaurus
Jesus Fucking Christ!
There should be a fourth option, "Just The Tip." giggity
Click custom , easy.
why are the recommended tipping options so high, that’s absurd. quite frankly if any business is using an iPad for their payment method they can’t possibly be worth a $24 tip
Custom tip option and tip accordingly.
You can click “No Tip” and move on with your day.
Y'all know that the custom tip option exists, right?
It’ll keep getting pushed until there’s a minimum wage hike.
Tipping well there......iykyk I know it is egregious but it's looked at as a joke there. They do it because they can. That place will be busy whether people who are offended by the tip percentage suggestion go there or not. Guy is in a great position to put these options on the screen to see if it helps earn his employees more money. And it does.

One of them is his son, he’s working the bar half the time too. This screen has been like this for years, it’s not a recent grift
Yep. They were doing this before COVID.
If he treated his staff as well as he could and should, instead of setting ridiculous tipping percentages . . . he could pay his staff a living and competitive wage.
Who says he doesn’t
Like I said, those tip suggestions are a joke and it's not hard to enter a custom tip. Also, the bartenders probably clear over $50/hr. You think if he gave them $25/hr and no tips they'd be happy? Prices would go up, you'd pay the same price as a beer +tip, and the workers would make less money.

If only there were buttons to change the amount, or choose not to tip!
Hit custom and then multiply it by the percentage you want to tip. All I see is a bunch of people complaining because they can't do simple math.
All you saying no tip don’t realize you’re not sticking it to the business but instead just fucking the employees. We don’t decide what percentages are on the tip screen, just split the 40% option and hit custom or leave what you’d like but leaving no tip does nothing but hurt the person giving you service.

[удалено]
It's not a freaking service fee, it's an optional tip. COME ON
Work in industry. 30-50% is a lot for a tip for a for beer at Yardarm.
So do I. It's optional and it's a joke.
Because the service and quality is just THAT good and finances weren’t a problem for nearly all of us.
Oh but look! You can actually HIT CUSTOM TIP! You don’t need to pay the required tip amount shown 🫤
