      everyone already gets min wage. why should i pay you more money for getting my food from kitchen to my table. that’s your entire job. take my order and bring me food.

      If you don’t want to tip, just hit „No tip“. It’s not that hard.

      i’ve gone back to 15% pre tax – no more and no less, and only for restaurants.

      If I’m standing while ordering, no tip. seems to be the easiest way to navigate this nonsense.

      The companies that employ them can pay them their wages. They make more than enough money to afford paying everybody properly.

      Or they can just not, and watch their restaurants shut down due to nobody being able to afford it.

      I don’t mind tipping (10-15% max) when I’m getting excellent service at a sit down restaurant.

      I do mind getting a tipping prompt at fast food joints and other places that make no sense and it’s become a plague.

      When paying before you receive your food, definitely. It’s not even a tip at that point.

      Ban it, pay better.

      Sorry your entire business plan hinges on customers subsidizing wages, but that’s not our legal responsibility.

      You might have to raise prices to help the transition to livable wages, and your customers will decide if the product you are selling is worth the cost.

      But normalizing this aggressive way of offloading employee wages onto your customer and the almost open shaming for choosing not to tip or tip below expectations, is wrong.

      I’m biased in that I want to try to sever our culture from the US as much as possible. That paired with the fact that I want business owners to properly pay and price their products across the board vs relying on my discretionary tip to supplement your funding shortfall says yes, ban it. Pay people properly, charge customers adequately. Pair this with removing the reliance on underpaid foreign workers too, please.

      It’s time to ban employers from being able to pay people non-livable wages. If I want to tip because someone did a great job, then it’s between me and the person serving me. But it should not be a requirement for someone to survive.

      I appreciate that it has unfortunate consequences, but “no tip” has become my non-violent protest to the madness. Companies: please charge what you need to for your goods/services to pay staff a reasonable wage. Then fuck off and leave me alone.
      Christ, I’m old.

      I think part of the problem is we all think in %

      No server deserves 20% tip on a 400 bill.

      And tipping 20% on a 10 bill is only 2 bucks..

    25. Blueliner95 on

      The demand for a tip – even at stand up places where you’re taking your own food to the table and then your plate to a dirty plate area – is a disincentive to go out.

      On that basis I’d rather there not be such an expectation but on the other hand a ban seems excessive.

      Why not just trial it? Places that won’t accept tips vs places that demand it. See who wins

    27. Any_Researcher9513 on

      No need to ban it altogether. Ban auto tip option on card machines/readers and implement a tax on all tips above 15%.

    29. bssbronzie on

      Absolutely. Long overdue

      They already make the same minimum wage as everyone else, get rid of tipping, pay employees fair wages.

      It’s not the customer’s responsibility to pay your wages.
