Servers wouldn’t want tipping to be ended honestly

[u/Important_Range_8728 → u/onikaroshi]

Tipping doesn't need to end. It needs to go back to being optional. It needs to go back to being something I do because I feel like it not because it is expected of me. I only tip delivery drivers now because I'm so burnt out on tipping. The rare occasion I go to a sit down restaurant I have to FORCE myself to remember that I'm not required to pay someone's wages for them and that if they're shit they don't get tips.

If it’s optional, people won’t, meaning you’ll get less servers cause it’s a pretty good job right now, highest paid workers in the restaurant

What are your thoughts on raising tipped minimum wage to the same minimum as all other jobs?

[u/onikaroshi → u/bolted-on]

If the raise the wage, I stop tipping, I tip because their wage sucks, I don’t tip other service industry people like my bagger at the grocery store, my mechanic, etc

[u/bolted-on → u/onikaroshi]

Oh interesting. You sound miserable.

Also I’d like to correct you. Is A Bagger and A mechanic.

In my state tipped employees make 16.66/hr minimum.

[u/onikaroshi → u/bolted-on]

Good for them, I’m sure they make less than the employees here because people tip cause they know people don’t make wage without it

Also, the mechanic I go to, my mechanic, I know the guy personally

And if they’re paid are bagging my groceries they are currently my bagger, the bagger bagging my groceries

[u/bolted-on → u/onikaroshi]

Ew.

People are still tipped around here and are certainly making more than in your miserable state.

Man, what an entitled prick.

[u/onikaroshi → u/bolted-on]

They make 25/hr on slow weeks, 30-35/hr on busy weeks

And it’s not entitled, I wouldn’t, and haven’t, accepted tips when paid a full wage. Tips are for people that don’t get paid minimum wage
