    I didn’t say restaurant patron. Usually there is an employee or even the owner (what i said in my previous reply - not patron) of a restaurant that has to order and receive ingredients and other equipment to run the business. Suppliers also have employees that negotiate and coordinate deliveries with these restaurant staff. In this specific situation, the restaurant managers/owners are the customers of their suppliers.

      So you’re saying the restaurant owners should give the suppliers a good tip if they’re polite and efficient? Nuance is hard

        Not saying they should more than I’m asking why they shouldn’t

          Because being polite and accommodating to people who are being shitty to you isn’t important for those jobs.

      And i wasn’t talking about logistics customers. I was very clearly talking about the restaurant customer, whom the waiter deals with.

        So why should only restaurant customers tip? Why should only waiters expect tips?

          Jesus christ dude, let it go.

          You know why tipping is a thing in the US, and as I clearly stated, I don’t live in a tipping country
