There are laws in place for service workers related to minimum wage. The employers have to make up the difference if tips don’t meet the rate for hours worked. It seems to me that’s not sufficient for the times.

Hypothetically, if everyone were to stop tipping in the U.S. would things be better or worse for workers? Would employers start paying workers more?

      Maybe by your standards, probably by mine, but I’m assuming we’re both fairly reasonable people. When you serve tens of thousands of people, you find out that there is a significant portion of the American public with unreasonable expectations of service. That’s the service expectation I’m talking about.

        That’s a societal problem, absolutely nothing to do with the tipping culture

        Try being a dick like that in another country and you’ll get turfed out the restaurant like the cunt you are

        This, by the way, is why yanks think Parisians are extra rude, because they’re extra rude to cunts lol
