    If you can’t afford to pay your employees a decent wage, you should raise your prices or you shouldn’t be in business.

    There are a few places here in Seattle which have eliminated tipping, raised prices, and raised wages. I greatly prefer this, personally speaking. Add no, I’m not going to start tipping every random cashier just because they start prompting me to.

      The problem is - restaurants in most parts of the states cannot reliably do that. They’re going to see a higher price and they’re probably walking out soon after. Or worse - they stay and leave a shit review because they set their expectations at a higher bar of food quality than was provided.

      If we could unilaterally remove exemptions for tipped wages, I’d see the possibility of it becoming much more common.

        Most restaurants in America as they exist now should not exist. We’re essentially all subsidizing low quality, frozen food.
