Gotta love corpo news.
Shut the fuck up and pay them a living wage you animals. Don't try and continue pitting individuals against each other. "Blame the consumer for everything" is so played out at this point.
The reality is that many of these jobs rely on tips. If they were to "pay them a living wage" then the cost of the service would just go up.
Don't get me wrong, I want tipping to go away, and it's gotten absurd where people are asking for tips now. But it's absolutely stingy to not tip in these places where traditionally they would be tipped. If you don't want to tip, don't buy their services. It should be a recognized part of the cost: you just think it should be made official, some think it should be based on the quality of service they received.
The cost of the service includes the tip if a tip is expected. The cost would stay the same if you stopped tipping and the establishment raised sticker prices to compensate.
If you count the tip as "part of the service" yes I agree that the price would stay the same. But the way I'm saying it is that there is the charge for service/goods, and then there is the tip. If we get rid of tipping, in favor of high wages, the service charge goes up.
