Try running a service business on minimum wage employees.

Incentivize trashy people. Got it. Kind of like good behavior in prison.

I don't like tips and don't like tipping culture. That said, I understand its how many restaurant employees make ends meet and on the rare occasion I patronize a restaurant, I know I'm expected to tip. Just part of the deal.

$2.16 an hour is a decent wage?
If servers don't make at least minimum wage then the establishment is required to pony up enough to reach minimum wage.

Helped a buddy out and flew a trip on a King Air. The owner tipped me $100 when we landed. I felt weird, but got over it.

Even if you only opened your restaurant for a couple hours around lunch and dinner, you still have to keep employees there throughout regular business hours to accommodate deliveries, service, etc, and you're not going to be able to hold onto servers who only work 4-5 hours a day and have to go home in between shifts.
You could get rid of the table service entirely and only have kitchen staff and a busser, but people will bitch about that.

Minimum wage is not a decent wage.

with therapy I could probably deal with it, I've often thought of having the flight attendants walk through the cabins with a tip jar during descent telling everyone that we're not going to land until everyone chips in

Why would anyone tip for counter service? Just because some douche bag ten years ago made a point of sale system that started asking for one?

Where are you finding them now for $15?
If your business can’t function based on the menu price, your business model is fundamentally flawed.

None of this has to happen. The consumer can take a stand.
I'm not that consumer. I tip because I'm embarrassed not to. I wish I had the balls to stop.
Like the guy in the video said, "raise your prices."
So you're in here bitching about people tipping instead of forcing the business to pay a higher wage, but YOU aren't even doing this yourself.
That's some clown shite right there.

The craziest part of this is finding out people pay for noodles.

It’s not about the tipping per se. It’s about one demographic deciding they are more important for some reason and thus they never do.
They are digging a hole. Let them.

A good ramen is worth buying in a restaurant. Traditional Japanese Ramen takes some time to make.

Better yet, if you can't afford to tip don't eat out.
I love when career waitstaff post this on the socials then cry two weeks later when the restaurant they work at shuts down and launch into a tirade about people eating at chili’s and not supporting local and not because the restaurant sucked.

Meh. There's nuance between the climb in tipping culture to the point of asking for insane amounts for tips and just basic tipping norms.
And no, if a few dollars tipping is the difference in you being able to afford eating out you shouldn't be eating out. That's some basic fiscal responsibility there.

No, this is entirely about tipping. If you give someone the option to pay two difference prices for the exact same thing and they choose not to pay more, why is that the biggest concern? The owner complained about being able to pay the staff. He was given a great answer: raise your prices, as any business would do. Having to bank your entire business on customers subsidizing your employees' wages is a pretty wild concept to wrap your head around.

I'm not bitching about people tipping. I'm bitching about people bitching about people not tipping.
