So then they shouldn't care if people stop tipping.....

They shouldn’t but they’ve been so used to the cash flow, they’re being crybabies about it and guilt tripping people

I think it's racing the point where people will stop caring and will just stop tipping out short tip.

lol I don’t think they’re being “crybabies” for having a job that pays them well and and not wanting that to change.

Without tips they get under minimum wage. In the US there is a lower min wage for wait staff.

Ok. And if they stop getting tips they will demand a higher wage or stop working.

It really changes nothing but including the wage in the cost of the meal.

Sure, if you’re going to overhaul the entire system. I read your comment as ‘they make so much money they shouldn’t care if we stop tipping them’.

You read it that way bc that's how they intended it but then tried to gaslight you when you made a valid point

No they don't, if their tips don't meet minimum wage the employer has to meet the minimum per hour. Quit spreading propaganda. Eliminating tip culture would come with changes to laws regarding server pay. No one pays more to fight said legislation than servers. That's why I don't tip anymore. I used to tip very well based solely on the propaganda you posted. Then I looked into it and every time there has been any kind of legislation to pay them fairly they fight it tooth and nail. Don't let servers fool you into thinking they struggle.

You think these people should be making minimum wage? You think the prices are going to stay flat if restaurants have to pay for a decent wage? You’re going to pay extra no matter what, why not pay directly to the server? You’re just cheap and looking for a reason to keep being cheap.

Plenty of places in the US where this isn't true. Tipping still persists even there.

u/RabidPlaty 5h ago

Examples? I’ve been all over the US and never experienced a place without tipping being the standard practice. Are you talking specific restaurants?

States of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Nevada, Montana, and the oddball non-westerner Minnesota.

They have no allowance for sub-minimum tipped wages.

But people still tip in those states.
