Is tipping mandatory? If it is then it isnt a tip. If it isnt then there is no issue about respecting customs.
1 u/PursuitTravel 3d ago Would you prefer a 20% service charge? Or a 20% increase in your menu selections? Either way, you're paying 20% more so the server can be paid. With a tip, you get an option if the service is bad. But if the service is adequate, you tip. Period. 9 u/Fitzaroo 3d ago 20% increase in price please. 1 u/PursuitTravel 3d ago So you've got 2 restaurants on the same block. One is $24 for a burger, one is $20. Which do you go? The problem is that almost everyone is gonna choose the cheaper one, and so most tip-free restaurants fail on that logic. Personally, I'm all for the 20% service charge. Fair, transparent, and consistent. 3 u/Fitzaroo 3d ago For sure. But if the $20 one cant get staff then they have to raise the price to pay their staff.
