It would be nice if tipping was just gone, and everybody got paid a living wage, like in most of the rest of the world. We're in a Nash equilibrium right now where if you don't tip, you're an asshole. Other people might even tip more if they hear about it, which reinforces the status quo. So I keep tipping well, and disliking that we're stuck here.
How can we end tipping culture and just have everyone be paid a living wage?
Nice attitude
A tip is only for good service. That’s it. It’s not about the wages. That’s the bosses job.
don’t like it ? that’s your problem.
You may not like the tipping system but it is the system in place. If you choose to not tip then you are making someone work for you for free.
If you want to make some ideological statement about the tipping system then don't support businesses that use the system. All you are doing by not tipping is screwing over the worker. Nice attitude indeed.
