Everyone that owns a restaurant should then close. If you don’t own a restaurant business you dont understand the economics. Especially with what’s starting to happen in Crazy California. They are making restaurants increase thier minimum wage to $20. That’s like a 20-25% increase in everyone’s wages in that industry. So what do you think is gonna happen to you when you go to a restaurant, you’re gonna have to pay a lot more now if that spreads throughout the whole country. Your workplace is not going to increase your wages 20 to 25% overnight.. it’s called basic economics.

Just came back from a trip to Italy. An item on the menu would say “$25.” I would get the check and it would be exactly $25. No taxes, no tip. I even tried to tip a bartender for bringing a bottle of wine to our rooftop patio and he downright refused. He told me “this is what I am paid to do.” Tipping is ridiculous. People should be paid for the work they do by their employers; not from the “kindness of customers hearts.” If for some reason you go above and beyond the line of duty serving food, then by all means leave a tip. But their livelihoods shouldn’t be based on some sort of expectation.

There is a popular ramen chain in Japan, Ichiran ramen, that has three restaurants in the NYC area. They do business exactly the way they do business in Japan: no tipping. They make it very clear as you enter the restaurant and at the checkout, they are NOT a tipping establishment. They adjust the pricing accordingly on the menu and when the bill is paid at the front, you pay what you owe, NO tip. This is how restaurants in the USA should handle it. No need to tip, just adjust your pricing.

So basically, your tip actually does not benefit the worker as much as it benefits the business by saving that business from having to pay the worker the extra $5 per hour. Basically your tip is benefitting the business for the first $5/hr, then after that amount is reached, anything extra will benefit the workers? This sounds like a scam to me.

Often times that can be on top of sales tax too. The “you pay lower prices because of the lower hourly wage” statement is a bit of a myth if you think about it that way. Also, as someone who has traveled quite a bit, I can’t help but notice that food prices at restaurants is not THAT much more at many restaurants abroad, yet they pay their waiters more than we pay the waiters here in America I’ve seen many waiters in America on the other hand complain that they make more than $23.23 an hour in tips, so I am unsure how many waiters would give up the current system for a set wage even if, in my opinion, $23.23 is more than fair for a waiter/waitress wage.

The issue is servers tend to make a lot more than MW in tips, you notice the lady said she could make $300 a day? So the "good" servers will quit and go to where they make tips if you try to force them to "give up" the tips. People are USED to tipping, so they will STILL tip even if the wages are increased. (you have to FORCE them NOT to tip and many Americans resent being told what to do) "headwinds" is what they called it.... So if you try to change the world on your own you lose your good employees, increase prices over competitors, and have upset customers. I go to a Australian owned coffee shop, for a long time they just didn't have a tipping window on their payment screen and didn't have a tip jar. They finally gave in to customers who WANTED to tip. This is a place that brings your coffee to the table and also cleans the table when you leave.

As an American, I find it so frustrating when our own restaurant workers act like there's no other solution or alternative to tips, other than to raise food prices and pass the cost to the consumer. Having been to several European and Asian countries, with many restaurants that serve food at reasonable if not dirt cheap prices and do not require tips, I can say that definitely is not the case. What annoys me more is the fact that tipping culture here completely washed away the original meaning of a tip, which was an optional gesture of gratitude for excellent service. You got a tip because you were exceptionally prompt, courteous, and personable, or because the customer saw how hard you had been working during their time at the restaurant. Not because you did the bare minimum of taking orders and bringing food and the check. On top of that, you run into some servers who give you attitude or ignore you and still expect a good tip. Lastly, we Americans have the audacity to take it a step further and implement tipping screens on those tablets at coffee shops, ice cream parlors, etc. You go in, enter your order through a self-serve machine, then after putting your credit card, the next screen asks you to tip before they even begin making your drink? Cmon now. What's next? Am I going to have to start tipping my mailman for delivering my mail? The bank teller for cashing out my check? The nurse during a stay at the hospital? It's absurd.

But if I go eat at a Mexican restaurant and my total comes out to 30 dollars and only have to tip about 6 bucks when the server did basically the same exact thing as the server at smashin crab. That’s the stuff I struggle with when eating out. I’m already paying over a hundred dollars so why should I have to tip so much just because the food costs more but the service is exactly the same as a way cheaper meal.

@@johntracy72 If a waiter or a waitress are providing the customers good service when they're dining in a nice restaurant, there's nothing wrong leaving a tip for them, when knowing they're not making that much money on their base pay. The servers depend on their tips to make a decent wage because that's how they make their money. Not from their base rate! If a person has extra hundreds, thousands or even millions of dollars, and don't want to give a server at tip whenever they are dining at a nice restaurant, they're being a cheapskate. If people can afford to pay $60.00 or more for a good meal, then most certainly they can afford to leave a tip for their server. Personally, I wouldn't want anybody to even think that I was that cheap!

I don't eat out at restaurants or order anything anymore. I only go to buffets, where tips are not expected. I don't go to any stores were bagging and ringing expects tips, if they don't have auto-checkout. I order my stuff from Amazon, where I don't ever need to and have never tipped, since none of them are tipped workers. Not a single Amazon driver has ever asked me for a tip, but if one ever does, I will tell them that they are not tipped workers and that I would not buy from a company that hires tipped workers as a matter of principle, since that just means they don't want to pay their workers and are abusing the laws. Dogged persistence will lead to corporate getting involved. Tipping is not about helping the worker, it is about perpetuating the idea that it is okay to remain in business while underpaying your staff. You wouldn't get away with stealing a loaf of bread in this country, but stealing workers' wages is not even a crime in most instances and in red states, even legalized. Wage thefts vastly surpassed burglaries in America and have for years now been the biggest financial crime in the history of this country. Tipped workers are just like us, the should get paid higher wages and if they don't do the job well, they should be put on an improvement plan or fired just like the rest of us. Grovelling for tips leads to a toxic workplace and is the most inhumane thing a human being can be made to endure, it affects their self-respect. Hopefully the UAW strike takes care of this.

What's the most confusing part is that you can simply look at the example of other countries - you don't even need "20% service is included" bs. Simply add 20% to the prices (not as a warning in the menu, but just included in the prices of everything on the menu), put a huge "we do not accept tips - better bring your friends" sign on the window, that's it. I once got chased across half the street by a waiter in London, who handed me my change, saying "we do get good salary, you've already payed for this buying the food, and we'll just be happy to see you come back".

The net result is that server pay is highly variable and reliability of earnings very poor, with those working in expensive restaurants often doing very well, and low cost restaurant servers doing poorly; and this says very little about the actual quality of service since a fixed % is usually tagged on to the bill.

I found it truly bizarre and very uncomfortable and did kinda low-key ruin the trip and make me not want to ever go to North America again. At places where you pay before you eat, I had to choose my 'tip' level before I'd even tried the food,; how on earth does that work? Can I ask for a refund of the tip if the food is bad? It felt like being exhorted by the mafia at gunpoint every time I wanted to eat. Paying $6 for a coffee PLUS 13% sales tax not included in the price PLUS 15% "tip" not included in the price simply meant it was insanely expensive to ever buy any sort of food. Like others in these comments it made me feel so uncomfortable and pressured I simply stopped going to cafés and restaurants and started buying from the supermarket and eating the food back at the hotel. Or going to places like Tim Hortons which seemed to be the only normal place (i.e. it didn't ask you to tip). Please do stop the madness.

Was very recently in the US and ate out almost every meal including at both high end and more reasonable establishments. Some observations: 1. Ridiculous numbers of staff in restaurants - there's something to be said about employees being more efficient in their roles. In one restaurant I asked a server how many staff were working for the evening (a Monday night). The answer was 48 (covering everyone from basic kitchen labor to front of house). In any other country this would be considered absurd. Few people expect a waiter to have their own assistant to pour water or do the things that might be considered more basic. This was a nice restaurant rather than a high end restaurant. To me it seemed the US has an obsession with providing a level of service in restaurants no matter the price point (where it really isn't required). 2. Asked to tip for counter based service - sorry, but what have you actually done other than your JOB to serve me when I am standing in your store to purchase something and then leave? Do I tip a Bank employee and a post office worker too? 3. Extreme time pressures for bookings - sitting times of 90 minutes to churn customers through even with groups of 4-6 people 4. The tipping disease has spread to Mexico in a big way (as have the prices) - combative staff at one restaurant due to tip received for poor food and "expected" service Really unpleasant. There's a big difference between giving an employee a discretionary amount because you were truly happy with your experience vs resentment that the price quoted is actually MINIMUM 20% understated and you've been provided with something you could have done yourself (i.e. the water boy). Summary - a lot of operations running that aren't actually viable

As a European it’s really interesting for me to watch these restaurant owners analyzing that it is impossible to give even the normal minimum wage to their workers… I’m not sure why it works then in so many countries around the world. Obligatory service fees in restaurants work in Europe as well (usually around 10-12% - the same amount as we tip as a rule of thumb for services instead of the 20% of the US).

And LOTS of people still choose the latter because they know on certain days they can make over $50 an hour. So knowing that, I’m sorry, but food service workers and restaurants have no sympathy from me.

It can feel like affection, appreciation etc. especially from regulars. But I wasn’t suggesting no tips. I was saying that business owners don’t want to have to support their workers, it cuts into the bottom line which is why they go out of their way to advocate for tips. Personally, I’m thinking, what if the waiters got decent wages AND the possibility of tips.

@@SgtJoeSmith Yes, and then god forbid we actually start finding out the real reason why the price of food production is so inflated in America rather than blame everything on underpaid part-time staff and discover it's not the single mother or black teen who'se inflating the prices but the old rich white guy who heads Starbucks and Tesco who'se reaping all the profits women and minorities are making for him. And the way the system works is, he gets to pay a lower tax rate than you do while treating his workers like garbage and not paying them anything and calls unethical practices that would be unlawful anywhere 'capitalism', when there are lawful instances of capitalism that don't treat their workers like crap all over.

Don't be so cheap. If you want to save money then go to a buffet and get your own food. If you want someone to bring it to you then give them a few bucks.

A couple of bucks extra is no problem but when its demanded and on the receipt is starts at 15 all the way up to 30 percent is INSANE

Percentages don't even make sense. The waiter just writes words on a pad and talk to you. Who cares if I ordered a $10 burger or a $50 steak? Why does he get more money because the thing he wrote down happens to cost more?

@B3Band this I agree with. I've worked in restaurants my whole life. I'm now a manager. I've never understood why tips are percentage based. The final cost of the check has very little to do with the effort put in by the server. I always thought it was fairer to determine how much should be tipped based on the number of people being served. Then vary the amount per person based on the quality of service. Tipping based on percentage of the check just gives servers incentive to ignore customers who don't order pricey items in favor of those who do.

No restaurants demand a tip. You will never be stopped by someone going "Hey you didn't tip, you can't leave". You do know you can tip less than the suggestions on the bill right? Those aren't your only options. They are simply there because they are the most common percentages tipped and they make it easier for you so you don't have to do complex math. If the suggestion is 18% and you want to tip 15% either do the math, or tip a little less than the 18% amount.

@rightangletriangle3188 Жыл бұрын
The tipping culture in U.S. is getting too bizarre that now some of the restaurants automatically billed for 16% to 18% tips and they still ask for more tips on the credit card printout, so if you don't check carefully, you will be tipping twice. I'm sick and tired of it and just go out eat less and cook more at home. It's not like our other daily expenditures getting less that we can afford all these added on costs. Even when I go out, I'll go to the ones without automatic tipping.

This is one of the reasons why when I visit the US, I find it exceptionally difficult and stressful when I purchase anything or eat out. I have to constantly bring out my math skills when I buy stuff. Example.. When I go to a store and think an item is x amount only for me to get to the register and the item is x + y where y is tax… Why can’t US companies just place the FINAL PRICE on items instead of having us calculate stuff at check out. As a foreigner, when I eat at restaurants, I get stressed out thinking how much are we supposed to tip. Most other places don’t have tipping and just charge a service charge on top of the bill and that’s it… I have to figure out if it’s 15%, 18%, 20% or what not every time I visit the US and it’s genuinely quite confusing. Why not just pay living wages, charge a service fee which is indicated in the menu and make the consumer experience better while still providing a decent living to workers? Most of the world does it, why can’t the “most powerful country” do the same?

I used to go to a diner near my college campus and there'd be international student events with lots of visiting business folks and educators from other countries twice a year (hotels all in walking distance, too). These visitors would go to the diner to eat and never tipped, which made the servers not want to deal with them. The new manager was up on campus events and tacked on a service charge or something to ensure the servers got tipped at least in that way. I hadn't heard of that before and that was the day I learned most countries don't tip.

@@4realrenee Yeah--I've seen the customer wrong far more often than right. And when you get spineless managers who prefer not to cause a scene and throw their employee under the bus to appease these customers with free food "for the trouble", ugh! I'd rather go some place where I know management is gonna treat their workers right instead of let customers walk all over their employees for freebies. The entitlement's already insane; no need to make it worse.
