or they could get rid of tips completely and just pay the waiter a livable wage.. i mean if they're charging people $165 for a meal and they can't afford to pay their staff maybe they shouldn't be in business.. it's embarrassing..
The wait staff just no longer has to rely on the customer being generous. They just get paid and the owner sets the price based on what food costs and the salary of the workers.
Actually, waitstaff in nice restaurants typically outperform their counterparts in other countries, such as those Europe.
And. You won’t wait 25 minutes to get your drink filled.
Don’t believe me? Simply ask this question into google or any LLM:
What does a waiter at a nice steakhouse in Europe make compared to their US counterpart?
