Yes, let's mention the middle class squeeze, but also conveniently not talk about America's tipping culture problem which would increase reluctance to sit down at a restaurant. Yes, let's completely ignore that.
Everyone obviously wants to pay extra so they can be constantly badgered and rushed out the door like cattle, and if you complain about any aspect of this, the white knights come out to drown you as they say it's your fault for not understanding the plight of the woe-is-me restaurant worker and there's absolutely nothing to be done other than shame you into not going out to eat.
I wonder why sit-down restaurants are declining.
- mstipetic 2y agoDo they really talk to you about it directly? Last thing I want is to feel guilty even going out to a meal
- _nalply 2y agoPerhaps. I read about horror stories of servers chasing leaving customers and harrassing them for not tipping or too little. But of course GP was deliciously ironic, so take all with a grain of salt and a dash of black humor.
- sethammons 2y agoThe rise of kiosk tip screens changes this. You are asked to tip someone behind a counter. Tipping is not stopping a meaningful amount of people from going out.
- khazhoux 2y ago> I wonder why sit-down restaurants are declining. Not because of tipping.
