Should tipping be abolished?
Should tipping be abolished?
In Australia nobody tips anyone
Not if you want people to give a shit about waiting.
It pays garbage and we all know how much effort goes into low paying jobs.
Not that I work for tips, I am the cook so I get no tips.
But honestly I am a cheapo and tip the socially obligated %15 flat.
Here's my opinion, get a flat tax percentage and make everyone pay it and give that to the waiters and pizza boys.
Or do it like most functional countries; wages you can live on.
yes, only america does it, and for shitty reasons. fucking get rid of it, and do what other countries do and actually pay servers real money.
abolishing should be abolished prove me wrong
It’s voluntary in most locations.
If a business insists on adding a mandatory tip, while it is their right to as a privately owned business, it is also your right to take your business elsewhere if you don’t wish to include a tip. Also your right to leave a poor review on Yelp, Zomato, etc. and explain why you do not support the place.
Obviously the food is too cheap to garner a wage for everyone, so we need to increase the food price, But so the owners can't pocket it, it's handled as a tax.
That's how it works anywhere else.
Good service for a full meal should be $5 in diners $10 in normal restaurants and $15 in high end. No more less. 15% is fucking nonsense. I work elderly care and the nursing assitants don't get tipped for literally cleaning up old people's shit. Don't try to tell me your job deserves extra money.
