Today at a restaurant all I ordered was one dish right off the menu as is with no drink. I left a 10% tip and the waiter felt the need to lecture me about how I don’t tip even though I did.

Is 10% that bad that someone needs to be lectured or is the waiter a bit greedy?

I don't tip. The food is a certain price. If it is edible then I'll be a loyal returning customer.

Yeah, 15% min.

10% is basically:

I had a $122.67 dinner bill last night. I just rounded to $150. which is a little over 20%.

When are the waiters going to pay ME to eat at their fine establishment?
Just kidding. I'm not that crazy.
If everyone is having money problems then they should understand that I won't throw free money around(as I need to save as much as possible). The employees decided that their wages were worth the work so I am not paying for their decision.

I have worked minimum wage or two dolors above it my entire work life yet the poor waiter felt the need to lecture me, another poor man without a house, that I’m not helping him get rich.

None. But I'm not in the US.

Why don't they just put the actual price in the menu instead? with all that tips/customer service cost and whatnot included.

Also 1,- € or i round up to the next convenient number.

Side-question:
Do they need to pay taxes for these tips, or does anybody do moonlighting - legally? And instead of raising the wages by the employer, they´re depended on alms of random people? And that´s a nice and working concept? How?

americanos think it's about morality but in reality it's an excuse employers invented to exploit their employees and scam their customers
