If you own a famous, busy, reputable restaurant, which people have heard of another continent away, you should remove the tip jar and pay your staff properly.

[joshmore]

Tip 1: go somewhere that doesn't charge $35 and still demand a big tip.

[Thunderbolt]

first tip, when you walk through the door turn right back around and go down a block and get a much better pastrami sandwich for 11 dollars and it comes with drink and chips

[accordiongordon]

Stop relying on customer charity to pay your workers

[Fishpasta]

Rule#0: Don't go somewhere where you have to bribe the staff using tips for a 'good' cut of meat.

[Raluid]

I tip when i get good service. I don't tip to get good service.

[kungfukenny]

BEST RULE: GO HAVE A SANDWHICH SOMEWHERE ELSE!! 🤦‍♂️🤣🤦‍♂️

6/5/25
28.95 pastrami sandwich
9.95 fries
9.95 pickles
4.00 celery soda
About $53 just for the basic food

If I’m paying $30 a sandwich, I expect the quality of meat to be at it’s best no matter if I tip or not. Stop punishing customers for not paying your employees. I bet they get paid minimum wage while their bosses get thousands a day. I can’t stand greedy business owners, having worked in scummy restaurants before

Man vs food was an unbelievably good show and is the OG of all these food YT’ers

[atlcajun]

How about you just give me what i want because I'm paying $35 for a sandwich.

[MrBags]

my pro tips.
don't wait in line for hours
don't pay over 20 bucks for one sandwich
don't tip after you've already been finessed out of your money
places like this treat their customers like morons, just look at the prices. if you go there, what do you think they think of you?

[BigSwettiYetti]

Scrolling through the comments and enjoying all the people flaming the tip remark!

[Uncle_J_oe]

Big dog is living the little coat life

[Yusuf_Vizier]

Rule 2 is a sucker move... the place is already outrageously priced. The owner needs to pay their workers a living wage!

[chillgick]

Tip # 1, be a food influencer so you can write off your food and tell others they should tip!

[pinacolaaadas]

My mans quit Man Vs Food for health concerns, but it doesn't look like he is still taking those concerns too seriously lol

[bkm]

How Katz’s is overcharging makes me sick to my stomach, and your saying if you want better you need to tip…forget it!

[George-jeez]

Katz always seemed like a dream destination for that sandwich but the price is ridiculous 30 dollars for two thing slices of bread with a mess of meat

You DO NOT speak for me, Sir.
