There are laws in place for service workers related to minimum wage. The employers have to make up the difference if tips don’t meet the rate for hours worked. It seems to me that’s not sufficient for the times.
Hypothetically, if everyone were to stop tipping in the U.S. would things be better or worse for workers? Would employers start paying workers more?
Tipping culture sucks, but good luck getting anyone who actively benefits from it to admit that. I’m looking at you, bartenders who spend ten seconds popping open my beer and expect fucking 25% of the fucking 8 dollars on top of taxes. Fuck you, you get ONE DOLLAR PER DRINK. I dont give a fuck if you think i’m a tightwad, fuck you shit’s expensive, and you’re lucky I’m even doing that. Go ahead, gimme that stinkeye see if I give a fuck.
