They have brainwashed Americans into literally volunteering themselves as tribute to foot the companies/ corporations salary budget.

You do understand that the end result is the same, right? That money all comes from us, regardless of it being a gartuity or just higher menu prices. As it is now, I give the tip directly the service staff. You want us to pay higher menu prices and give that extra to the employer so they can then give it the employee. We end up paying the same amount either way. Actually, we'd probably be paying more if it went the way you want it to. Because the restaurant owners would absolutely take the opportunity to add a little extra for themselves in those price increases.

We end up in the same place at the time but you're arguing about how important it is that we take a green car instead of a brown one.
