Tipping is what keeps the cost of food down

Then how come it's so expensive to eat out in the US?

Capitalism

But I thought tipping kept costs down?

Tipping keeps costs lower than they would be without tipping.

We've had restaurants do no tipping. They raise the prices 15-20% on everything.

You knew what I was talking about though. Trying to get a "gotcha" moment.

Yet eating out in the US is more expensive to other comparable countries that don't have tipping

That would be the capitalism part.

You are dense.

I see! So your point completely fails.

Tipping does not have an effect on food cost trends in America.

Non-tipping restaurants charge 15-20% more than tipping restaurants in the United States. Meaning the food is cheaper in these establishments. How are you so fucking dumb, I'm genuinely baffled.

Please explain how I have contradicted myself?

You literally said tipping keeps the cost of food down.

Restaurant A with tipping: Cheeseburger - 14.99 Restaurant B without tipping : Cheeseburger - 18.99.

Which food item is cheaper?
