The real problem is that minimum wages are too low. If you make more in tips than with your wage - there is something conceptually wrong.
I understand this is the norm in the States, but in Europe this is definitely not the case (as far as I know).
- preommr 3y agoStates like california have a comparable (if not higher) minimum wage and require the servers to be paid at least the minimum. I guarantee you, if european servers had a chance, they too would try to charge tips as much as possible because they do make way more with it.
- denysvitali 3y agoEurope and the States are culturally different - servers in Europe don't ask for a tip on the receipt. Actually they don't ask it at all since it's not a thing they do expect. The only way for them to increase their chances of getting tipped is by... providing an outstanding service - which is how tipping should work. Something exceptional deserves to be rewarded
