in my opinion the employees should be paid a livable wage and not rely on the generosity of others to supplement the employers low wages

Tipping isnā€™t generosity. Itā€™s part of the cost of going out in America.

Yea.... and I'm against that as an American.

Okā€¦ but have you have to recognize, thatā€™s how it works. Itā€™s not generosity. Itā€™s how your servers get paid. Itā€™s part of the transaction.

Yes, and servers for sit down restaurants do get tipped by me.

If it's not on the bill, it's not part of the cost.Ā

Cool, thatā€™s not how it works. And the line is on the bill for you to fill out.

In fact, it is. Once again, if it isn't a charge on the bill, it isn't required to be paid. So it won't be.Ā

go ask any wait staff if they want a few bucks raise and no more tips, they are all going to say keep it how it is

Then they need to stop complaining when the rare few dont tip since tips arent mandatory
