As someone who works for tips in catering, I'd quit the moment tips stopped coming in. $15/hr minimum wage made sense in 2019, today my family would be fucking homeless even with my wife working full time, and I live in a fairly low CoL city. I'd literally be better off not working because daycare costs almost the same amount that I would make.
Meanwhile I'd have to deal with the stress of 5 assholes every day who think it's ok to order $500 worth of food a piece with 2 hours of notice. No thanks.
The restaurant industry would come to a grinding halt.
Maybe I don't know... maybe restaurants can charge actual cost for food and labour and pay people their worth... but nah, just pass on the cost to the consumers by blind charity.
Then you'd cry that your food is so expensive and your service sucks since the wait staff would be cut in half, or the restaurant will just go out of business and you're left eating at a chain restaurant that serves you microwaved meals.
Why would I cry when I'm already expected to pay 20% on top??
Your food will cost more than 20% more, there will be less waitstaff, and the waitstaff that is there won't give a shit because they're hourly and making a fraction of what they did with tips.
The more nonsense that people like you say the closer it makes me to abstaining from tipping so I'm not contributing to such an ass backwards system people bend themselves over backwards to defend
You ever been a server? No, you haven't so sit down.
Then pay waitstaff more. They should not need to rely on generosity of big tippers... just make everyone pay the true cost of prepared food.
