That would vary on the terrible service provided, but yes, it breaks the contract. For example, if I’m waiting for something and I catch my server off smoking, bad, big dent in the tip.Curious, in your opinion, if the service is terrible have they broken that implied contract? Should there be consequences or compensation?
Good question, I think personal interaction between humans seems to be the norm for tipping. I take my shoes to a shoe repair shop and see no need to tip, but if I sit down at a shoe shine stand I definitely tip.What constitutes personal service? Touching? When i get called for a side job say to fix someone's outlet or change a ceiling fan, is that not a personal service? I don't ever expect a tip because I am being paid for the labor just like the massage therapist. We dont tip doctors??? Maybe I will give 5 minute back rub to get a tip. Lol
