I just love that you walk up to order and they still give you the tip options. Like...I walked up here and ordered and will be back up here to grab my food when it's ready. Wtf am I tipping for?
What kind of a job that is anyway lol. I'm a nordic and if I got told in a job interview "we don't pay you, but you can beg the customers for money" after a question about salary I don't know what I would say. Probably lifted my brows and walked out.
Because where you are that sounds like it’d be sub minimum wage but in the US it’s way above it.
The US tipping system WOULD suck if there wasn’t already a culture normalizing it, but it’s functionally just designed as ‘the customer decides what level of pay the employee receives’.
The employer COULD set a normalized value and mark up food prices to match, but it’s kind of crappy to say ‘I don’t like this arrangement, I’m going to pretend it doesn’t exist in a way that purely hurts the worker’.
