Yes, I'm all for it. But it would easier to do during times in which service workers aren't just barely scrapping by, and had more negotiating power.
- denysvitali 3y agoYes, it's easier said than done. I've been recently to the states and I've never tipped less than 15% - even when the service was bad (40 minutes waiting for the waiter to get our order). The situation is pretty bad, and I feel bad for who's working in that field :(
- preommr 3y agoThis is a big misconception - servers make way more with tips. Here's a reddit thread [0] to give you some perspective. They're absolutely right, why would they take minimum wage when they can make 50-60/hr. https://www.reddit.com/r/Serverlife/comments/14fl21y/servers_would_you_continue_serving_if_tipping_was/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Serverlife/comments/14fl21y/servers...
- denysvitali 3y agoWow. Thanks for posting that. This thread was an eye-opener for me. The sad part is that waiters aren't doing as bad as I imagined (at least on that thread), but cooks are. And you cannot tip the cooks. So, if we stop with the tipping culture and the menu items prices increase, the problem would be solved also for the cooks that will finally make more.
