Spinoff thread: All jobs that involve tipping should be paid minimum wage
Posted on 4/11/17 at 7:42 am

So we can stop this stupid issue of tipping. When and where and how much to tip your employee shouldn't be my job as a customer. Pay everyone at least minimum wage and the issue is gone.

Fully agreed. You don't tip in Eastern Europe... they get paid just like anyone else does.

Agreed.
The whole reason people say that there should be tipping is because it is to "keep them honest", but that last thread shows that people still top even with bad service so that whole argument is thrown away.
Pay them minimum wage and get rid of the stupid practice.

pretty sure you can be banned for spin offs now

good luck getting decent people to serve tables at a restaurant for even $10/hr.
Servers at nice restaurants can make $200-300 in an 8 hour shift.

No problems here, but people need to understand that the prices will go up by more than what it cost you to tip. Those cash tips are a big draw, so replacing that with a traditional wage is going to take more money to net the same payout when you consider income and FICA taxes.

I'm fairly certain that if, with tips, you don't make minimum wage the employer is responsible for supplementing your wages.
That's how it was when I was in undergrad, and had several friends who waited tables with the same situation.

Pretty sure you can SHUT THE HELL UP

But the food prices will go up!
Running a business is hard! Woe is me! I can't afford to pay my employees more/insurance!
You're a business person, "Gods gift to man" as many of them think they are (even though there are so many of them. How can you be that special if there are so many of y'all and most of y'all are average?). Be better and innovate and stop making the customer responsible for feeding your employees.

You're going to be really hard pressed to find many people willing to wait tables or tend bar for just minimum wage.
So... places that are worth a shite will have to pay more, and your prices will go up accordingly.

Stupid argument. The customer is on the hook one way or the other.

You think your quality of service at a restaurant is bad now? Are you honestly telling me that a person who works at Burger King should make the same amount of money as an upscale craft cocktail bartender or a wine sommelier?
GTFO

That's how much they make now.

It seems like most in these threads eat at low quality shite restaurants and all they want is to make sure the waiter keeps their water with lemons and sugar coming and they are happy.
