> they're treated badly because they're not paid enough They're also treated badly because they don't know how much they'll get paid in practice, which makes financial planning even more difficult, including comparing job offers. Instead of just getting the higher-paid job, you get lured into accepting a low-paying one with promises of tips that may or may not materialize. My salary is basically the main thing that's legally enforceable when I sign an employment contract, but I wouldn't even get that if I relied on tips. > Just pay what it really costs. How much is that exactly? Is that +5/10/20% of the initial price? Tipping when it becomes non-negligible completely breaks transparency (as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(market) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(market)) which makes everything less efficient.
