Tipping is a fundamentally flawed and exploitative system
- seizethecheese 2y ago> exploitative I worked in restaurants, and let me tell you, I never felt exploited in tipped positions. If anything, I felt like lucky at least compared everyone else in the restaurant industry. The real exploitation happens in the back of the house…
- usui 2y agoThe parent comment did not specify the exploitative system as limited to tipees.
- sooheon 2y agoIt exploits customers
- e3bc54b2 2y agoI believe GP meant exploitative towards consumers. The customer was presented a deal. That the deal includes non-written, ever increasing additional charges unilaterally imposed by other side is exploitative.

- ywvcbk 2y agoI guess if you are talking about the customers then you technically might have a point… tipped workers would probably be making considerably less on average than now if tipping just disappeared. Especially in states like WA, CA, NY etc. which don’t even have a tipped minimum wage
