Will you tip less when tips are not taxed?

[Anonymous]

Is anybody going to mention the fact that the Republican's budget bill does not in any way exempt tips from taxes? Nor does it exempt overtime work from taxes or exempt Social Security payments from taxes.

Oh look GOP voters, you got bamboozled again, what a surprise...

Surely the next time the Republicans promise to do something for the working class they'll actually follow through instead of just giving tax breaks to the wealthy the same as they've been doing for the past 40 years.

It just makes it easier for owner/manager to pay workers far below minimum wage. This was the dumbest idea ever.
Yes, I will tip much less.

Not a surprise. There is no way the GOP is going to actually help regular working people.

Looks like there will be taxes on tips for the foreseeable future.

+1 I will not change my behavior (20% on full bill including alcohol and tax then round up to an easier number at restaurants, 10% when taking out) but I’m not a cheapskate looking for any gd excuse to tip less.

+1000 enough's enough.

No they didn't. Are you uninformed or a liar? The Senate-approved No Tax on Tips Act (S. 129) passed by unanimous consent, and was co sponsored by democrats.
So yeah...You are wrong here

Chiming in. I haven't tipped since 2000

I find it amazing that everyone hates tipping culture and now we are supercharging it.

It never occurred to me to change my tipping behavior based on whether it’s taxed or not.

Can't afford to eat out anymore so it's a moot point.

Republicans aren't going to stop taxing tips, that was just a lie for people who weren't going to read Project 2025.

So no, I haven't changed tipping, and I actually tip more now, because it looks like the economy is going to get real bad - especially for those who rely on tips.

Anyone who wants to help waitresses has always tipped cash. Reasons.

Everyone else is just all talk.

[Anonymous]

No one was reporting their tips anyway!!!

This whole tip thing is entirely a political beast, with no repercussions in the real world.

Let’s face it - we are all going to tip more. The motivation to businesses will be to pay workers less and create more jobs that rely on tips. I foresee lots of mandatory tipping. On top of current prices. This will likely not benefit workers as much as businesses.
