The Alamo theatre chain started baking in a service charge to your bill that goes straight to the wait staff, so that kind of eliminates all future need for tipping right there. I'm fine with that as a practice.
I personally think restaurants should just up each menu item by 2 or 3% then pay out more to their wait staff.
The solution is so fucking easy yet so many people have been brainwashed into thinking upper management is somehow important.This is a big problem, prices go up already to give guys that literally have no impact on the company more money while shafting the workers that actually make it run. The regional manager will come into my work, nitpick how we do stuff, and leave without anything changing, that's his whole job, and he gets a bonus for making sure we don't get OT.
And no, the solution is paying them a wage, not raising the prices, and paying managers/shareholders/owners less.
Let's say a manager makes $80,000 a year running a theatre and has 30 staff members. How much should we reduce the manager's pay by? $20,000?Ok but what about the regional/higher up managers making 6 figures to go into the restaurant/store/whatever once a month or so, nitpick how things are going, and dip?
So now you split $20,000 across the remaining 29 employees.
$20,000 / 29 = $689.65
So each employee now receives an additional $689.65 per year. What is that in monthly pay?
$689.65 / 12 = $57.47
So everyone gets an extra $57.47 each month, which if you work full time at 40 hours a week....
$57.47 / 4 weeks / 40 hours = $0.36/hour
You get everyone a $0.36/hour raise in the most ideal conditions for slashing one person's income by 25%.
The solution is not as simple as you think it is.

Who the hell tips at a movie theater?
Most restaurants operate in the black or very close to it, so while tipping is a bad thing, it is either that or kill the entire service industry altogether.This guy wants to take jobs away instead of improving the wage and cost of goods systems.
Personally, I vote for that latter.

Tipping is an American thing right?
Not exclusively, but American tipping culture differs from that of many other places, and tends to be at the forefront of any online tipping discussions.I know in Asian Regions, it's considered rude.
Should you tip if you get a rude waitress/waiter?How rude we askin'?
