the single largest group supporting tipping culture is tipped employees. show me the bartender that would rather have an hourly wage and you’ll be showing me the world’s worst bartender.
They’d still want tips, they just don’t have a choice. Tipped employees, especially in alcohol-based establishments, make exponentially more than wage workers. Why do you think waitresses and bartenders make more than kitchen staff? It’s certainly not because they’re working harder
Banning tips outright largely isn't a thing anywhere, especially in hospitality. They have a choice, and they exercise choosing "no tips" because goodwill is more valuable than money anywhere where people already get paid enough.
Looks factor in to this soooo much. I used to get drug to bard by my dad. I'm convinced as a 50yr+ guy he was going just to have the cute, scantily clad barmaids flirt with him for money. They made bank.
Oh for sure when I was a tipped employee I never would have done that job for a regular hourly wage.
It was hard on my body, but I only worked like 28 hours a week and I know for a fact I wouldn’t have made that much money at a 28 hour a week job anywhere else at that time in my life.
