Not required but there is social pressures. They don't have to pay, so they don't. There is a nearly endless supply of folk willing to take the job.

- hotpotamus 4y agoIt doesn't feel that endless any more though, does it? It's sort of like Amazon doing the math and realizing they're going to burn through all the "human capital" or whatever euphemism they might use for "humans" in the labor market in certain regions because of their labor practices.
- ghaff 4y agoSome restaurants have also tried eliminating tips. The details of how tipping pools are distributed varies a bit but, in general, the servers (especially the young good looking women who research has shown get higher tips) revolt and go work something else if you disallow tips. I'm not particularly a fan of tipping culture in the US but I would note that "optional" (but not really) 10% service charges for table service is pretty common in the UK these days as well.
