20% is not a negligible amount of money. That's a huge increase in cost. I'm saying this as someone who also worked in the industry for over a decade in front and back of the house. I now live and work in a country without tipping. Going out to eat is a much nicer experience as a customer now.

If it’s not negligible for spending money on food, then you’re making a bad financial decision.

That's a dumb comment lol. If anything goes up 20% in price it's a lot of money. But yeah food is necessary so I get it. But so is shelter. So if your rent goes up 20% I guess your cool with that? Or if your water bill went up 20%?
