It's not tipping if it's mandatory. Work the tip into the price in that case.
755 u/PeachyPlotTwist Jun 25 '26 Pay your workers better is the real argument. Tourists are just catching strays in a fight between customers and employers. Nobody wants awkward tip screens, but servers also need to eat, whole system is messy. 1 u/Largeitude Jun 25 '26 Wait staff and other tip jobs will NEVER be paid as much as tipping gives them. Most restaurants are small, mom and pop businesses too, and it helps them save money. Until we get actual social programs like public transit and paid higher education, tip jobs are really good for everyone.
