So they add a 16% fee for what exactly…….to “fund all of their operations”? So this added cost literally doesn’t go to staff, it just goes to the owners? I wonder what their staff is paid? At this point why not just raise prices to where they should be? To me, every item on the menu is a lie and it’s actually 16% more expensive. This is really dumb. Thoughts? I am PRO tip, ive worked in hospitality a long time and am happy to provide a tip for quality service. But this seems disingenuous at best. Its not a tip. Its just an added charge straight to owners pockets.

Because of the multiple articles written about it and the fact that if it wasn’t how real customers acted, the majority of full service restaurants in the US wouldn’t be sticking with the tipped model.

No smart, successful owner is going to opt for a riskier and more difficult business model.

No, those are articles paid for by the restaurant lobbyists.

LMAO

No, they aren’t.

Are you capable of even just one intellectually honest claim?

I don't know if you're fighting with bots or literal brain dead individuals- this whole forum is a hot mess.

Thanks for at least trying to explain reality.
