Paying extra for service has inspired rebellions, swivelling iPads, and irritation from Trotsky and Larry David. Post-pandemic, the practice has entered a new stage.

I feel like there’s a small group of people in the US that over emphasize the negative aspects of tips and never consider that the overarching culture in the US makes people making money as a tipped employee one of the few retail employees that get paid enough to thrive.
That’s exactly the point, employees shouldn’t be thriving off of an almost mandatory donation, but should be fairly compensated in the first place.
They should be, but if tipping were abolished in the US they’d just become underpaid like every other blue collar worker.
Until they’d all find something else and employers would have to up the salaries or do the shit jobs themselves. You can’t treat the root cause without addressing the symptoms first.
What? No. This is absolutely false.
This seems callous and cruel. What are you even saying?
I’m saying fair wages and no tips would benefit everybody.
The problem is that you’re proposing getting rid of one of the few ways to make a living wage as an incentive to possibly change to a better system. Gotta find a way that doesn’t require taking good pay away from people or you’re just being cruel because of a fixation on not wanting to pay tips.
