Question that rises from this sort of thing happening is that, if they are actually making what can be considered a lot of money. Is the current rate too high? Could customers instead tip some fraction and they would still be fine? Let's say drop rate to 5%? Going from a lot to just reasonable amount?
- ghaff 2y agoIn the UK, it's become fairly common to just have a (supposedly optional) 10% fee for table service. And I assume most people pay that and no more and no less.
- Ekaros 2y agoLiving in country where price you pay is the one next to the item this just seems unnecessary exploitation that is allowed... Price shown should be inclusive of everything. I can accept charging extra for extra service like delivery, but basic service should be in the price. You are free to print 10% of item price goes to workers, but price should still be one that customer ends up paying in the end.

It's one of the few jobs where thats possible if you don't have a degree or are skilled in a trade. The entire industry is a hugely exploitive closer*ck without many easy answers. The margins in food and beverage are razor thin so having this messed up system where you don't have to pay your labor a living wage kind of perpetuates itself. There is benefit on both ends of the deal. At least for front of house employees. Back of house just gets screwed on every level.
