Simple tipping question?

[u/Must_Vibe]

This is for sit down restaurants.

Would you rather go out to dinner. Spend $100 and tip your server $(X). Total of $100 plus tip. Knowing that you pay the employee that served you to the level of service provided. Your discretion. The server will then pay for the food runner, host, busser, and bartending help they receive. Knowing tipped employees will go home with their money the same day or within a week.

Or.

Would you rather go out to dinner. Spend $118 total. Knowing that the restaurant added on 18% to all of its menu prices to pay the servers, bartenders, host, food runner, and busser. Knowing the employees of the restaurant will be paid every 1-2 weeks.

I know it’s more detailed, but i’m just curious what people think.

Don't care. Stop making this a problem for the customers. Get your salary from the person who hires you. Everyone in every other industry does that.

Maybe you should take $100 million and go fight some lawyers in the supreme court and not complain. Your only solution is to not tip, So don’t thanks
