A lady on Twitter has said that she thinks it is necessary to tip waiters after good service if not she would advice the individual to sit at home.

According to Cinderteda on Twitter she wrote:

Some of her followers agreed with her :

@ihuomasinachi
I don’t know who raised these people. I know things are hard but a little extra won’t kill them. If you can’t afford to tip 10 to 20% then you shouldn’t eat out.
The Chief Priest: I worked in hospitality as an undergrad. I experienced first hand, the power of tipping! I was able to pay for my Geology degree, good accommodation & support my siblings from tips! 6yrs after uni, I never miss the opportunity to tip others esp ppl in services. Tips change life
Some did not agree with her logic:
Mr. Nath: According to your logic: Every time you get good service, you should tip. If you get a 1000 good services and you tip them all, what would be left in your bank account? Tipping is not mandatory, it is whenever you have surplus and you were wowed by the service + your mood.
t3niola: Lol I absolutely walk out when I get my hair and nails done. I paid for the service and that has fulfilled my end of the contract. The solution to waiters being paid badly is to pay waiters more, not to transfer the burden to the customer who has already paid.
TalentScout and NigerianInDubai: Yes, its alright to get service and not tip. I tip for exceptional service or if I am in the mood. The tweet implies that there is something wrong with me if I dont tip which is a problem. This culture is mainly an American culture. I live in Dubai and tipping isnt compulsory
She went further to explain that she thinks people should tip for good service

More reactions followed

Ozzy Etomi: I think the only way to reason through this is that tipping is viewed differently in different geographic regions, and means different things culturally.
What do you think? Do you believe tipping should be mandatory when the service is good?
