The US is stuck in such a fucked up cycle. Tipping was just a thing to show generosity. Employers saw that more and more people started handing them out and got the government to cut minimum wage in many states. So tipping basically became mandatory.
And now more workers are gonna be paid by customers and the burden is gonna fall harder on them. And since you can't just get rid of tipping in the US because people will continue to hand them out, a traditional system like outside the US would thus never work. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

zH0mPfR posted...Fair. I worked in a bar and restaurant for a summer as a short order cook once. I never saw a dime in tips. Yeah, it sucks but we don't have all good cooks. In fact, because I've been here for so long, I had my boss schedule me with my best friend because he's the best cook we have and so that I don't have to deal with the headache of slow or incompetent workers. On the downside, I work with a slew of girls who all have issues. One is passive aggressive and washes dishes loud when she's mad and causes some negativity. The others are lazy and are the cause of the one passive aggressive waitress. Some times food will mess up or no one's paying attention to the grill. I have to stand there and present food and hope they like it and if they don't, you can bet your sweet ass I'm the one taking the fall. Its also bad form to blame the cook so you have to lie and tell them its a misunderstanding and you'll take care of it. Fact is, customers are the worst people in the world and have so much"I am right" attitude that it makes life a living hell. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You're going to a restaurant to get the service of having food prepared and brought to you, and that includes the servers. You know my opinion on tips - just include them in the total cost of service and be done with it - but that's another topic. --- ~Drewnami: The Drew abides.~ Gonads are useful for their purpose, but they are no substitute for brains. -Paul Harvey ...

Huffman says if he could, he would redirect some of those tips to lower-paid cooks and dishwashers.
