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?
Good service should result in my continued patronage. This means the business is succesful and the employees deserve a raise. This is how it works for everyone else…
Why we’ve decided people delivering food to you should get a tip is beyond me. I don’t tip my mechanic, grocery store worker or the cleaner at the office. They all deliver a direct service to you as well, but they shouldn’t get a tip?
Exactly. When people work somewhere, they need to earn a living wage. When they give exceleny=t service, you can tip, no matter which business they’re in.
