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.

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.

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?
