You say that as if we wouldn't be paying it anyway. That money would still come from us. They'd just charge us more for the service and now the optional tip is a mandatory service fee.

Okay?

I'm cool with paying more for my food if that's what it cost to buy the food. If I want to eat at that restaurant, that's what it costs the eat there.

A tip however is NOT required regardless if the restaurant pays its staff or not.

That responsibility is on the employers.

They arent going to change without an act from the gov punishing waiters and waitresses isnt the right move

The only one punishing the employees are the employers.

If you WANT to tip, that's all fine and well. However you are not required to tip, and it's absolutely bonkers the citizens of the US embraces one of the very reasons employers refuse to pay it's own staff.

Companies should be paying their own staff, not expecting their customers to do it for them with the guilt trip excuse.

Again, employees should be demanding pay from their employers, not the customers.
