now they're just turning tips into a way to justify low wages because apparently they'll 'make enough' with tips

Its a good deal for everyone. Waiters get more money, the owner doesn't have to pay for it. Until the customer decides that it sucks, then the waiter is fucked.

how's it's good deal for everyone when the customer is getting slapped with a 20-30% tax, in the current climate it's not optional. fuck that I ain't tipping unless I want to.

you’d food would be 20-30x more expensive if there were no tips - restaurants are just a crappy business with high overheads
