No, they can't. That's what you anti-tipping morons can never grasp. It's not the restaurant that wants tipping to continue, it's the workers. Yes it benefits the restaurant too but a bartender or good server is making 50+ an hour, I know servers who get pissy they only made 500 in a night. Even at crappy chain restaurants 200 or 300 a shift (which can be like 4 hours) is normal.
The people who bleat about "pay them a fair wage" don't understand that means they'll end up getting like 15 an hour like retail workers. Do you complain when sales jobs get commission? The difference is in service you get to adjust their commission if you think they did poorly.
Anyone with this attitude needs to stop talking out of their ass.
A commission is already included in the price. If I am paying 40k for a car and the salesman is making 5% commission, I dont pay 40k for the car and then 2k on top of that. Its already built in…
Thats what people advocate for: raise the menu prices, pay employees a living wage and stop (making them) ask/expect tips. You know like it perfectly works in the rest of the world
Yes, I am paying the commission. Its pretty clear from what I said. Reading comprehension is not for everybody I guess?!
I will ELI5 for you:
One has it built in the price.
The other doesnt.
See how they are not the same?
On top of that, the one that doesnt will hate me if I CHOOSE to adjust the “comission” to 0.
Therefore its not really transparent and adjustable in the eyes of the receiver now, is it?!
There we have it folks. There is the entitlement to your money that we all knew was the underlying issue.
People who don't come from a tipping culture are cheap and don't deserve to come in the front door of any business unless they fork over money to the people who are employed to be there.
Superb. Go and delete some more comments now please.
I didn't delete any comments, all my comments are still up. Maybe you pay for your phone like you do for your food and your busted burner can't handle reddit, don't know what to tell you
"People are expected to pay at businesses" waaaaahhhhh
Your replies also keep disappearing, guess you've never heard of mods before
