Not true, but go you. Like, yeah, that how it's theoretically supposed to work, and how it STILL works in places where tipping is not expected to pay the servers salary, but only for truly exceptional service. But no, that isn't how it works in practice for everyone. Yeah, some people dont care, period. Whether you like it or not.

Sir. Where have you been? 20% is the top tier. A tip is dependent on the level of service received. It is the perception of the customer. No service or bad service, you’re getting 0. Mediocre, you’re getting 10 maybe 15%. Those that to go above and beyond, they get 20%.

Ignore the downvotes. It’s common knowledge, maybe just not to some, but it is common knowledge that you tip on the subtotal. There is no point in tipping on the taxes.

The people getting average service. A tip is for going above and beyond. Not just a handout sir.

People only tip better if the service is better. Don’t bring “care” into the mix, that ain’t it.

No. Take subtotal, not the full check.

The rest you have is correct for calculating 20% if the customer deems 20% appropriate

And why should that be a customer’s problem? That sounds like a small business owner problem.

Always good to add to the biodoversity of the James.

Wonder how many they’ll dredge out of the mud when the Mayo bridge is rebuilt.

Yep, that's what Richmond needed. More scooters in the canal.

Right?!

If you say so. So much for moving on with your day.

Its just so fascinating.

Now you're reading what I wrote? Neat.

Man that strawman line, so funny!

Good day to you, friend!

Hehe. In the context of a discussion about tipping and not tipping? Shitty word choice then. Have a good day.

Nothing.

What's the difference between the bill, and the overall bill?

I cant tell if you are being pedantic, or just a jerk but that is how it would work. The bill would be higher to cover higher labour costs so that a higher than living wage would be achieved tipping would be eliminated. Yes? Fuck the system? All for it dude I want these things. But i dont want these things until the mechanism is there to enforce them. We are in america, i dont see it happening for a long long time.

Sure. When you say people would be happy to pay more on the overall bill in exchange for not having to worry about tipping we are not saying the same thing. And keep having issues with stuff no one suggested. On a topic you dont know the history of. Have a good day.

Lol your taking what i said and trying to explain it back to me and calling me obtuse. We are saying the same thing. You are really toxic dude. Maybe try therapy? You are losing it.

Sigh. Because you're being obtuse. The prices, the cost to the consumer, in effect, would not rise if you're already tipping 20%, like ya should. How many times do I have to repeat what I meant before you get over yourself?

Thats what regulation is for. Like all kinds of workplaces have. Like the ones allowing them to pay less than minimum wage because of tips currently. No one said it should be a free for all, keeping the current laws, or that unfair rules should be put in place. That would be incredibly stupid to argue for. Strawmen are good for farming, not for discussions.

Stop defending systems that were LITERALLY designed to work against you.

So they are raising prices just like I said on my original post. Im really not sure why you keep talking about this, nor why you are so condescending. Im not the smartest guy, but its a pretty simple and old concept. I understand how the economics work. I agree most people will not have a problem with paying more in the overall bill with the trade off that there will be no responsibility to tip. I do have an issue with the idea that this will work with no mechanism to make sure the owners will not find fuck with the money, such as raising the price 20% giving employees 15%.
