So sorry BLM..it's racist to tip you if you are a waitress!
Never heard of “Stake Shack.”
Shake Shack is not the type of place where you tip. The article makes me laugh because blacks don’t tip. Sounds like an excuse to normalize cheap behavior based on racism.
I suspect he didn’t bother to ask his wait staff if they felt racially discriminated against.
Sounds like BS to me.
tipping customers stems from the American Civil War when the government accepted a petition to allow restaurants not to pay its staff....
I’m sorry, but this sounds totally fake. I’m betting that tipping was prevalent well back to the Gold Rush if not before.
Burgers are racist!
I don’t care.
I’d tip anyways.
It’s a free country and it’s no business of the establishment what the waiter or waitress gets as a tip.
I don’t want THEM (the management) taking it.
"I don't believe in tipping, 'cause it's RACIST!"
Okie doke.
Sounds like the SS wants you to add your tip the check so the bosses can skim tips. Has happened before. IMHO
this article says it comes from Europe, Great Britain, etc.

So tipping is only done in America?
These guys need to get out more.
This is a lie. A LOT of wait staff were white. Cooks might be black. No, this is just more liberal crap.
Then don’t allow your employees to put out the tip jar. Problem solved.
I’m trying to remember the name and author of a book I read in college. I think it was by one of the existentialists. In it I learned that in Paris restaurants originally were just places to sit and people would independently make and serve food which the customer would pay for in full. So the waiter in that scenario was a small business man... sort of a food truck or food festival situation. All my children worked at one time as waitstaff. Knowing that the tip depended on the quality of service IMHO means that the server does a better job.
>>> anyone know if this is true?
Not true... TIPS is an acronym...
To Insure Prompt Service.
Talk to any waiter or waitress. They will tell you which ethnic group is the worst tippers.
Sounds like more of the fake news we have been getting since Trump won at least two times.
If you are a server, the IRS assumes you are getting a 15% tip on meals. The restaurant is required to report those earnings on your W2.
This moron shouldn’t be running a lemonade stand, much less a restaurant and even much less, a chain of restaurants.
FWIW this moron is a white Snowflake.
As with most claims that folks make in regards to how it all started with slavery......this is false
I am kind of taking it that this is a restaurant in England. They are pretty much all cheap bastards when it comes to tipping anyways. So it’s really a non-story
