What about at McDonalds? How much should I tip for a $5 meal?
Wait, you guys haven't been tipping your McDonalds drive-thru cashier 15%?
please explain why Ineed to voluntarily give my hard earned wages to someone else who chooses to remain in this profession?
Tipped workers are the ones holding back wages because they can make much more as tipped workers. And why should the waiter who carries the food to you get 20% of the total, while the cook who prepared the food and the dishwasher who washes the plates and the cleaner who cleaned the place get 0%? This is just ridiculous entitlement.
Yep, thanks guy - there's a reason servers don't fight harder for eliminating tipping. Most days they can barely put in an order correctly, why did anyone ever expect class solidarity?
RIP antiwork

Tips are a way of enforcing certain standards of behavior when the employee cannot be effectively monitored otherwise (unlike say in a factory where the employees can be easily watched). It’s really not that big of a deal and I hate when people argue it’s “subsidizing the restaurant”. Like your food bill wouldn’t go up (and service probably suffer) if they made a guaranteed $XX/hr?
