Tipping should be made illegal. It's the only way to remove this broken system. No restaurant can go first in abolishing tipping, because it would make them look more expensive than everyone else.
If you don't like the service, complain to the manager, write an angry review, and never go back. If you like the service, do the opposite. This is how capitalism works in every other industry.
- cwkoss 8y ago> Tipping should be made illegal. Who gets sent to jail if they tip? The customer, the server, or the restaurant owner? What should happen if a customer leaves before they get change? Who is responsible for enforcement? Tipping has a number of problems, but prohibition is rarely the best solution.
- stephen_cagle 8y agoHow about just making all tips have a automatic Federal Tax rate of 90%. I think the knowledge that only a tiny amount of your tip is going to the server might force restaurants to just raise prices appropriately. It would "destroy" tipping without making it illegal in any way.
- em-bee 8y agoas a variation, have a 10% tip included in the price by law. yes, it will raise the prices, but since it is a mandatory tip, it also must go directly to the waiters, thus raising their pay.
