Of course he does, tipping cost them nothing.
Tipping is not supposed to be the norm nor is it supposed to cover people's living wages.
I would be happy to tip for people that go above the line of duty but I shouldn't be tipping every worker for doing their job nor should I be guilt-tripped into doing it, especially since I need the money as well.
- Ekaros 5y agoShould I also go and personally give the CEO dollar? I mean that would allow company to lower his wage. I wonder if CEO would be up to this...
- Fogest 5y agoDon't the shareholders already kinda "tip" the CEO's in a way? A lot of the time they get performance based bonuses or extra incentives from shareholders. Except they want to get bigger "tips" from shareholders by exploiting their workers and not paying them fairly so that they get better performance.
- jareklupinski 5y agolet's rename "tip" to "bonus" and really watch worlds collide :)

- elliekelly 5y agoI wonder how tips factor in to CPI and/or cost of living indices? If the average hotel is $100/night but most people start to tip (in order to pay hotel staff a living wage) would a one night stay go into the basket as $100 or $120?
