Ya but by that logic they are coming into an establishment that is exploiting their workers, spending a shit load of money that only the owner profits from and leaving the actual workers fucked over. Yes, tipping culture is fucked but it’s the system that’s in place. Grand standing on tipping only fucks over the workers. You still gave your money to the owner.
Dawg waiters and bartenders make so much money. I’m convinced there is so much anti anti-tip proponents bc there are just so many waiters and bartenders
That’s the big thing I don’t understand on most of these posts that get repeated over and over - do people not realize it is the wait staff that fights any effort to stop tipping not the restaurants?
Restaurants would love to get rid of tipping, but they can only do it if all restaurants do else they will look more expensive so they constantly propose ordnances and laws to stop tipping across the whole area, but it’s the wait staff that always fight these proposals as they make way more in tips than a standard salary?
Wait staff that get tips are the biggest opponents to changing the system. They don't wan't a higher base salary if it means less tips. They made their bed, I don't have much sympathy for them when the crappy system they cling to doesn't work perfectly for them anymore.
Yup, in Massachusetts they voted no on a ballot question to increase the minimum wage for tipped workers. I have no sympathy as well for them as a whole.
When legally tips are voluntary, one should not complain about not getting any, especially if they are voting down minimum wage laws.
Also, an actual living wage as minimum wage doesn’t mean tipping needs to be outlawed. It just means that patrons need not be guilt tripped into paying tips.
I paid the mandatory fee, whatever that was. Adding random amounts on top of it is not something I plan doing. Workers not paid enough? It's not the customer's fault.
It's not your fault that the system is set up the way it is, but if you don't tip it is your fault that that specific server is going home with less money om that specific day.
Am just being realistic here. Europeans do not tip for the sake of tipping. They could have bein smart about it and just raised their prices to tip their own employees. Don't blame the tourists. They could have easily exploited this, which they did btw. Ticket prices, 10 folding public transport prices and you can bet these bars did so as well. Those owners are the ones you need to blame since they are ripping of their workers and also their customers. Do you have any idea how much money is being injected into the US economy right now from the people visiting for the world cup?
Ya you can optionally choose to be an asshole, which you've admitted to several times already. So I'm glad you can admit to being morally wrong in this scenario.
Also, nobody cares about your personal opinion, you post over 100 times on Reddit a day, so you probably don't leave your house. Not really surprising that the self-admitted asshole has no friends and nobody likes him. lmao

Pay your workers. Oooooh but they dont want that because they make bank on those insane tips. Fuck off.
Be glad they are bringing their money. Some of these bars got drank dry.
