“We just shifted how the money came in,” Neitzel said.
We know you greedy trashbags. Tipping isn’t necessary and a detriment to the experience.
amen.
It’s absolute BS that the “tipped” minimum wage is lower than for everyone else. Tipping is supposed to reward you for excellent service, not subsidize the fucking company
yeah, whoever lobbied for that and got that bill passed was evil.
republican but same thing
Yet another thing that has been eye opening about living in Europe is how fucked and terrible tipping is in the states. Twenty percent AS A MINIMUM? When I’m picking up food at the counter??? AYFKM?
Not to mention, you can’t have a percentage go up and blame it on inflation.
If this backlash kills off tipping in America forever, good.
Employers should be paying their employee a living wage anyways, instead of shifting the responsibility to the customers.
In states that don’t still need to pay minimum wage, I get your point. The last two states that I’ve lived in, though, still require min wage (or higher, depending on some municipalities).
Restaurants operate on notoriously small margins and are tough to make it as a mom and pop, a lot of the time.
I’d rather tip, and have the assurance that money is going to the worker, than pay $30 for a burger and be told the employee is getting a cut.

Then charge more for your food. If your business model is unsustainable without paying your staff, you shouldn’t be open.
I’m American but lived in Japan for a couple of years. I was so shocked by the amazing customer service the Japanese workers gave me but never asked or expected a tip.
I was so confused coming back here and seeing all of stores implementing an option to tip and I’m trying to figure out… for what? Most of the workers hardly acknowledge me when I’m there and it feels as if I’m bothering them coming to order something, and then they turn the iPad around asking for a tip.
This honestly needs to stop.

That’s how the entire world works outside of NA.
I always say it’s shocking what us Americans are accustomed to here in the US, and those that have never been outside of the country would never know these things. I also visited Australia for a bit and noticed no one asked or expected a tip as well.
Glad I had the opportunity to see how other countries do things outside the US 🙂
It’s becoming a bit more like that with service charges automatically added to bills in the UK, but only for restaurant meal, never for anything else.
I’m not going to engage in any class warfare… restaurant staff actually get LESS than minimum wage, because tips are supposed to offset the loss. Of course they’re going to want more money; they probably NEED it. Having said that, I rarely have two dimes to scrape together, and my tip limit is 15%, give or take. I mean, I’m not going to count it out to the penny, I’m not that much of a tightwad, but I’ve got my own expenses. If I can’t realistically afford to eat out, I’ll just make a sandwich at home.
How about making employers responsible for actually paying their employees?
Employers will never do this. They would rather allow their employees to starve.
