As a recent example in my state, a local establishment raised wages, raised prices, and strictly disallowed tips. I thought it was a great idea, but apparently sales fell and there were complaints from both wait staff and customers. They promptly switched back.

Honestly? The European one IMO because it actively prevents the exploitation of workers.
- mulmen 7y agoSome people do not tip at all so I am sure they were unhappy about the higher prices. Did the restaurant raise wages at or above the level their top employee was earning with tips? If it was a cent less than that i can understand why employees were unhappy. There is immense cultural momentum behind tipping culture. Where I live it is common to have a 15+% gratuity added to the tab automatically and then an optional extra tip that goes to the full staff. This seems to be a reasonable compromise.
