re: Tipping culture is out of control

I do not care if the government wants to tax tips or not. What I do care about is the fact tipping is bullshite. Employers should just pay their employees that tipping is not necessary. If they have to raise their prices an extra 10-20% to cover the costs then do it.

This is a dumb take. You want them to raise prices that you’d meet by tipping a standard amount. So regardless of service, you pay a standard tip in the normal cost. At least with tipping you can save money if your waiter is an a-hole.

They’ll either do away with tipping and raise prices, or keep tipping and keep waiters honest. Consumer will pay for it one way or another. Tipping just lets you save money if your waiters are assholes.
