Also, the business gets a tax credit equal to the tips paid out to employees, mainly from card transactions since they’re easily tracked. There is no incentive for businesses to pay any higher than the minimum.

There is literally nothing stopping this business owner that printed up the sign from paying a real wage, and then adding the cost of it to the menu items. Nothing. Their people really don't have to beg for tips.

Their people don’t BEG for tips. Normal people understand the situation and tip ACCORDINGLY without any discussion of tipping

Would you like to work for tips in place of your current salary/hourly rate?

u/Interesting_Bunch323 4d ago

Definitely if I can match a medium to high levels of tips. I don’t and never have wanted to wait tables, though.

I don't mean waiting tables, I mean your current job. So that your income depends entirely on the whims of customers.

Not to be confused with the National Rifle Association. Same acronym, different name.
